  • How to Advocate for Your Pet's Health and Get Results w/ Weylie Hoang

    How to Advocate for Your Pet's Health and Get Results w/ Weylie Hoang
    2026/05/17

    A cardiologist told Weylie her dog had only six to nine months to live. That was over 15 months ago. Her dog's heart disease has actually reversed. And her cardiologist doesn't have a great explanation for it.

    Weylie Hoang is not a vet. She's not a doctor or a researcher. But she is an expert on her pet. She grew up with zero experience with animals, trusted everything her vet said, fed kibble because that's just what you do. Never questioned it until the day her dog was put on steroids after a dental procedure and nobody told her what was coming. The thirst, the weight gain, the personality shift. By the time she figured out what was happening, her dog was never quite the same.

    That moment changed everything.

    Fast forward and Weylie is now the pet parent who drives over an hour each way for integrative care, who researches at midnight, who does nightly positive affirmations with her dogs, and whose dog Navi, the one given six to nine months after congestive heart failure, is still here thriving with documented reversal of her heart disease.

    This conversation is for anyone who has ever sat in a vet's office and felt dismissed, anyone who's been told "just watch and wait" when your gut is screaming that something is wrong, and anyone who is curious about holistic care but doesn't know where to start or is scared of being judged for even asking.

    Weylie's been there. And she's going to tell you exactly what she did about it.


    KEY INSIGHTS:

    ✨ You are the expert on your pet. Your daily observations are clinical data. No one has more of it than you. Trust what you see.

    ✨ A defensive vet is a red flag. If asking questions makes them defensive or they don't explain things clearly, consider a second opinion.

    ✨ Integrated medicine isn't choosing sides. It's choosing more. Navi is on heart medication AND gets acupuncture, fecal transplants, ozone therapy, and amnion cell treatment. None of these cancel each other out. They compound.

    ✨ Being proactive is always cheaper and more effective than being reactive. Catch issues early before they become full-blown crises requiring stronger medications.

    ✨ Healing isn't just physical. Nightly positive affirmations, calm energy, and intentional moments of love create measurable changes in your pet's wellbeing.

    ✨ If you're doing the same thing, you're only going to get the same results. If what you're doing isn't working, try something different.

    ✨ Amnion stem cell therapy changed everything for Navi. Her resting breath rate dropped from 26 to 12. Her allergies improved. Her heart disease reversed from stage C to stage B1.

    ✨ Fecal transplant combined with amnion helped Navi's chronic allergies so much that she no longer needs Cytopoint injections.

    ✨ Thoughts and energy carry measurable vibration. Dogs feel our energy. What started as silly affirmations became a nightly ritual that both Weylie and her boyfriend now do together.

    ✨ Get pet insurance as soon as possible. It gives you options when your pet needs care.

  • We Missed the First Step — What 50 Years of Cancer Research Got Wrong w/ Dr. Loren Nations

    We Missed the First Step — What 50 Years of Cancer Research Got Wrong w/ Dr. Loren Nations
    2026/05/10
    For 50 years, we thought we knew what caused cancer. Billions of dollars in research, the entire human genome sequenced, all of it built on one assumption: cancer is a genetic disease.And then the data came back. And the data said we got it wrong.Dr. Loren Nations is a board-certified veterinary practitioner with almost 35 years in internal medicine, oncology, and cardiology. He's pioneered hyperbaric oxygen therapy, ketogenic nutrition, mistletoe therapy, and microbiome medicine in veterinary care.But what makes his story powerful isn't the credentials. It's the moment that changed everything. After three decades of practicing conventional medicine with tremendous success, he lost his wife to triple negative breast cancer. Five weeks from diagnosis to her passing.In the wake of that loss, he started asking questions the entire medical system had stopped asking: Why did the genetic theory fail? What's actually driving disease at the cellular level? And what would happen if we stopped treating symptoms and started optimizing the body's own metabolism instead?We talk about the health continuum from optimization to disease, why most wellness appointments aren't actually about wellness, and what it means to heal from the cellular level up.KEY INSIGHTS:✨ Cancer is not a genetic disease. After 50 years of research based on the somatic mutation theory, the data showed no correlation between genetic abnormalities and cancer types.✨ The real driver of cancer is metabolic dysfunction. Cells lose their ability to produce energy properly through mitochondrial damage and oxidative phosphorylation breakdown.✨ Cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative disease, autoimmune disease all share the same foundation: inflammation and metabolic dysfunction.✨ The health continuum runs from optimization (Olympic athlete level) to wellness (healthy but room for improvement) to disease. Most pets live in the wellness space, not the optimization space.✨ Wellness appointments as we know them (vaccines, parasite prevention, bloodwork) are maintenance, not optimization. They don't move the needle on metabolic health or longevity.✨ Medicine 3.0 asks "why is this happening?" instead of just treating symptoms. It's about finding a cure for the cause, not a pill for the ill.✨ Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been used for acute inflammation, snake bites, non-healing wounds, pancreatitis, IBD, neurological issues, and even cancer therapy in Dr. Nations' practice.✨ The gut microbiome is 25-50% of what's needed for optimal health. Pets don't get healthy microbes from kibble or sterile environments the way wild animals do.✨ Metabolic health is the life force. It's the body's ability to convert and utilize energy. When that breaks down, disease follows.✨ Vaccines were the foundation of veterinary medicine for decades. The profession is built on annual vaccines, and shifting that paradigm requires courage and scientific questioning.✨ One flame can light the world by lighting one more flame at a time. Change happens through curiosity, courage, and community.RESOURCES:Veterinary Healthcare Associates (VHA): https://vhavets.comInstagram: @vhavets LinkedIn: Veterinary Healthcare Associates Facebook: Veterinary Healthcare Associates Contact: vhavets@vhavets.comNeoterric Institute: https://neoterric.com/ Instagram: @neoterricinstitute LinkedIn: Neoterric Institute Facebook: Neoterric Institute LLCContact: support@neoterric.comCOMING SOON: The Optimized Pet System (Canine Masterclass) — Online course for pet parents on how to optimize metabolic healthFOLLOW:Integrative Pet Wellness Center: https://integrativepet.com Instagram: @integrativepet Dr. Lily Chen: @dr.lilychen @the.unicorn.vet LinkedIn: Lily Chen DVM, CVASign up to our newsletter to get more holistic pet care tips 🐶🐈‍⬛

  • How Microbiome Medicine Is Transforming Pet Health w/ Sanjit Basak-Smith

    How Microbiome Medicine Is Transforming Pet Health w/ Sanjit Basak-Smith
    2026/05/03
    Sanjit Basak-Smith has been doing veterinary work since he was five years old when his father opened their family practice in 1997. He started with kennel work, moved to answering phones, and eventually became a veterinary technician working alongside his dad for years.About 10 years ago, Sanjit started specializing in integrated modalities like stem cell therapy, PRP, photobiomodulation, and microbiome medicine. And through that work, he helped transform his family's traditional Western practice into a local leader in integrative care.But here's where it gets really interesting. When Sanjit was about 12 years old, a doctor wanted to put him on steroids for his psoriasis. His father, a veterinarian, said absolutely not. He found a natural alternative and it worked.Years later, when Sanjit started working closely in the clinic, he noticed something he couldn't let go of. The same steroid his dad refused for his own son, he was prescribing to his patients every day. That one question changed the entire trajectory of their practice: Why is this okay for your patients, but not for your son?We talk about why probiotics alone aren't enough, what microbiome testing actually reveals, why your dog's skin problem might really be a gut problem, and how to start making changes that actually stick.KEY INSIGHTS:✨ If your pet doesn't have diarrhea, it doesn't mean the gut is fine. Skin issues, chronic allergies, and inflammation are often rooted in microbiome imbalance.✨ The microbiome is responsible for breaking down food and regulating immune response. When it's off, symptoms show up everywhere.✨ Probiotics are great for a healthy gut, but when there's dysbiosis, you need fecal transplant to reintroduce native bacteria the body actually needs.✨ Prescription diets are meant to be used for 30 days to diagnose food allergies, not as a lifelong diet.✨ Drugs like Apoquel and Cytopoint suppress the immune system. Never start them if infection is present. Microbiome testing helps identify hidden infections before starting immunosuppressants.✨ Microbiome testing should be done preventively throughout a pet's life, just like bloodwork. It can detect issues before organs start failing.✨ After antibiotics, use fecal transplant capsules for seven days to restore native bacteria. Probiotics alone won't reintroduce what was wiped out.✨ Fresh food is superior to kibble. This isn't controversial anymore. Processed food and poor farming practices are affecting our pets' health.✨ Sanjit's father was ready to sell the practice and leave veterinary medicine. Integrative medicine and microbiome treatment brought the love back and saved him from burnout.✨ You are allowed to ask questions and advocate for your pet. A good vet will welcome that conversation.RESOURCES:Monroe Town and Country Veterinary Hospital: https://monroectvet.comInstagram: @monroetowncountryvetAnimal Biome: https://www.animalbiome.comInstagram: @animal.biome/FOR VETERINARIANS: Feeling stuck in the cycle of treating the same chronic cases with limited tools?
