Is your dog aging, struggling with cognitive decline, or dealing with chronic inflammation — and conventional veterinary medicine isn't giving you answers?

In this eye-opening episode of Wake Up Your Soul, Andrea sits down with Angela Ardolino — plant-and-fungi clinician, senior dog rescue advocate, and hemp and medicinal mushroom expert — to expose what most vets and doctors are never taught about the endocannabinoid system, full-spectrum hemp, and the extraordinary healing power of medicinal mushrooms for both pets and people.

Angela shares how her own rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis led her to address root causes — diet, inflammation, leaky gut, and the endocannabinoid system — using full-spectrum hemp, adaptogens, and medicinal mushrooms. She also reveals the results of a funded clinical study on canine cognitive dysfunction using lion's mane, reishi, cordyceps, bacopa, and ashwagandha — reporting no decline in severe cases and an astounding 81% improvement in moderate and mild cases.

In this episode, we cover:
• The critical difference between CBD isolate and full-spectrum hemp (and why it matters for your pet)
• Why THC is necessary for effectiveness and the truth about CBD isolate and liver damage
• The endocannabinoid system — what it is and why your doctor was never taught about it
• Medicinal mushrooms for dogs: lion's mane, reishi, cordyceps, bacopa, and ashwagandha
• Clinical trial results for canine cognitive dysfunction and dog dementia
• Hidden toxins in pet food and water that are destroying your dog's health
• Why you must detox and rebuild the gut BEFORE starting any supplementation
• How to find clean, third-party tested hemp and mushroom products you can actually trust
• Natural support for menopause and whole-body healing using the same principles
