A Time to Rest and Repair for You and Your Pets

January often finds us feeling a bit blah after the excitement and energy of the holiday season. In this podcast episode, Jenn speaks with Pet Grocer staff member and owner of Be Light Wellness Coaching, Sarah O'Donnell, about the importance of rest and repair—for both you and your pets.

We explore the deep connection between our mental and physical well-being and how it can influence our pets' health. Just like us, they need time to rest, recharge, and repair. Here are some key concepts we discussed in the episode:

• Self-care: Prioritize activities that help you feel grounded and balanced.
• Unplugging: Take breaks from screens and digital distractions.
• Meditation: Practice mindfulness to reduce stress and promote calm.
• Grounding: Spend time in nature to reconnect with yourself.
• Eating Comforting and Nutritious Foods: Enjoy foods like broths, stews, fresh fruits, and vegetables to nourish your body.
• Gratitude Practice: Reflect on positive moments to shift your mindset.

We also discuss the science behind these practices, exploring how they support both mental and physical health for you and your pets. These practices benefit you and can also create a more peaceful, healing environment for your pets.

Tune into this podcast for a deeper dive into these topics and practical tips on how to bring more rest and repair into your life and your pet's routine.

Can Chaga Cure Cancer?

Groundbreaking Cancer Research: An Interview with Julie Anne Lee

In this episode we have the privilege of speaking with Julie Anne Lee DCH RCSHom, the co-founder of Adored Beast Apothecary, about her groundbreaking research collaboration with Dalhousie University. This pioneering work, now published in scientific journals, explores the cancer-fighting potential of chaga and spirulina extractions in mammals.

Julie Anne and researchers at Dalhousie, have uncovered incredible results showing that specific extractions from chaga mushrooms and spirulina can stop the growth of cancer cells. This discovery could revolutionize holistic cancer care for animals, aligning with Adored Beast Apothecary's mission of supporting natural health solutions for pets.

During our interview, Julie Anne shared insights into the research process, the rigorous scientific validation behind these findings, and how this discovery could impact the future of integrative pet health. She emphasized the importance of evidence-based holistic care and how the partnership with Dalhousie has provided the scientific foundation to support their natural health initiatives.

Key takeaways from our conversation:

• Chaga and spirulina contain compounds that can halt cancer cell growth when properly extracted.
• When combined, these natural extracts can work even more effectively against cancer cells.
• These findings could influence both preventative care and support for pets undergoing cancer treatment.
• exciting new retail and veterinary products are in the works and will be announced to the public as they become available.

Julie Anne's passion for holistic pet health and dedication to scientific research inspire us to continue exploring the powerful relationship between nature and wellness.

1. Energy Fields: Many belief systems, like Reiki or acupuncture, or prayer suggest that living beings have energy fields. These fields can be affected by the intention of a healer, potentially promoting healing.
2. Quantum Entanglement: In quantum physics, particles can become entangled, meaning the state of one can instantly affect the state of another, no matter the distance. Some proponents of energy healing draw parallels to this concept, suggesting that consciousness and intention might create connections that facilitate healing across space.
3. Mind-Body Connection: There's evidence that mental states can influence physical health. Practices like meditation or visualization promote well-being, suggesting that focusing energy and intention might have tangible effects.
4. Placebo Effect: The power of belief in healing as a remedy has been proven time and time again. If someone believes that energy healing can help them, this belief can lead to real psychological and physiological benefits, sometimes alleviating symptoms or improving overall well-being.
