A diagnosis with a long name
is still a body asking for help.

Lyme, thyroid, Cushing's, pemphigus. Different names, one pattern: a body that can't keep up with what it's being asked to clear, regulate and rebuild. Start with what they have in common.

/məˈtabəˌlizəm/: the chemistry that turns food into a working body

1.

A diagnosis, a pill for life, and nothing else to do.

2.

More often: a body short on what it needs to clear toxins, regulate itself and repair; and that part can be fed.

What these have in common

Different names. The same tired body.

A thyroid that slows down. Adrenal glands that over- or under-produce. An immune system that turns on the skin, or can't finish off a tick-borne infection. Each gets its own name and its own medication, and for many dogs the medication is necessary. What the names don't say is why the body got there. In over twenty-five years of these calls, we keep finding the same three things underneath: a toxic load the body can't clear, nutrition that was cooked out of the food, and stress piled on top.

Food is the first thing we look at, because heat-processed kibble asks the body to run on what processing left behind; our recommended foods guide shows what to look for. From there, the work is the same on every shelf: take the avoidable stressors off, and give the body the live-food enzymes, antioxidants and minerals it uses to clear, regulate and repair. Start with the guides below. Many of the families we work with do both, and gradually step down with their vet as the dog improves.

When you're ready to act

Reading explains it. The Core Foundation is where we start.

Two products, the same live-food base: Sprouted Granules in the bowl for the enzymes processing removed, and Antioxidant Treats by hand to help the body clear what it's carrying. It is the foundation under every condition on this shelf, and the first thing we talk through on a consultation, along with the food.

Your dog has a diagnosis and a prescription, and you're not sure where a food-based approach fits? That's exactly what the free consultation is for.
