We explore the parallels between processed foods in human and pet diets, examining how "human kibble" like cookies, bread, and even seemingly healthy options contribute to inflammation just like pet kibble does. Dr. Judy Jasek and I discuss how changing your diet can profoundly impact your health, with personal insights from my current five-day fasting journey.
• Inflammatory ingredients in processed human foods include various gums (xanthan, carrageenan, guar) that essentially function as glue in our digestive systems
• Pet kibble contains synthetic nutrients that are just chemicals masquerading as complete nutrition
• Some veterinary emergency clinics like Blue Pearl have started offering special pricing, suggesting pet parents are becoming more selective about expensive treatments
• Medications like Librela for canine arthritis have concerning side effects including ataxia and neurological issues
• Vaccines like Leptospirosis can cause kidney damage as the body tries to clear vaccine toxins through the lymphatic system
• The body's "sickness" symptoms (vomiting, loose stools, itchy skin) are often just detoxification processes rather than true illness
• Variety in pet's raw diet is crucial - relying on just one protein source or overfeeding organs can cause imbalances
• Intermittent fasting and once-daily feeding schedules benefit both humans and pets by giving digestive systems rest
