IPWC is a specialty center, but we are still here for you
I wanted to send a quick note to follow up on my last newsletter—because a few of you reached out, and I realized I probably didn’t explain things as clearly or as early as I should have. So let me say this, from the heart: I’m not going anywhere. I’m still here,...

We’re making some big changes at IPWC
I’ve got some really exciting news to share! I’m now officially certified as an Integrative Veterinary Cancer Care Practitioner (IVCCP). That means I’m now stepping fully into the role of an integrative veterinary oncologist. This means we’ll be focusing more deeply...

Would you travel across the world for your microbiome?
Can you imagine hopping on a plane and flying across the world… all to live with a tribe in Tanzania in the name of healing your gut? Well, that’s exactly what one adventurous microbiome researcher, Jeff Leach, did. He ate what they ate, everything, which included an...

Centenarians can help your pet live longer
So on my recent trip to rural parts of Japan, I saw this man who must have been in his 80s riding a bike. He wasn’t struggling—he looked so fit and nimble. Effortless, really. It made me pause and think about how Japan is considered a blue zone (these are regions...

I invented a new breed 🐶🔬
So Labradors and Golden Retrievers were the most popular dog breeds in the US for the longest time 🐕🐕🦺🦮 I used to see so many of them in my clinic. They’re such sweet, loyal souls. They’re just the perfect family dogs, so no surprise there. Then Frenchies took the...

Is your vet’s clinic design impacting your pet’s health?
This past weekend at the retreat, Dr. Joe Dispenza confirmed something I had felt in my heart since I was seven years old 💫 Back then, we took our family dog to the vet, and I remember noticing how afraid she was. I turned to my parents and told them I wanted to...

🩷 A New Vision For Your Pet’s Wellness
Last weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a meditation retreat with Dr. Joe Dispenza in Los Angeles, alongside our unicorn manager, Dianne. What unfolded during those three days was nothing short of transformational—for both my personal healing and the...
