| 9/14/25 | ![]() Could AI Be the Secret Tool to Smarter Pet Care? w/ Ron Sosa | What happens when “Dr. Google” meets ChatGPT in the vet’s office? In this episode, I sit down with veterinary leader and neuro-inclusive coach Ron Sosa to unpack how artificial intelligence is already reshaping the way pet parents seek answers about their pets’ health. Instead of fighting against it, what if vets helped pet parents to ask their Chat GPT better questions? Ron and I dive into what this shift means for pet parents: from how to prompt ChatGPT so you get helpful (not panic-inducing) answers, to why keeping simple notes on your AI tool at home can make all the difference, to how sharing what’s been “ruled out” can completely change the way you and your vet move forward together. This is a conversation about embracing technology without losing the human touch. If you’ve ever wondered how AI could help you become a more empowered, confident advocate for your pet’s health, this episode is for you.KEY INSIGHTS:✨ Why ChatGPT is quickly becoming the new “Dr. Google” for pet parents.✨ How asking clear, detailed prompts (age, breed, sex, symptoms, timing) leads to more accurate answers.✨ Why vague questions like “why is my dog vomiting?” often bring up scary, unhelpful results.✨ How AI can save time in the exam room by preparing pet parents with background info.✨ Why your vet may not know every answer in the moment and why that’s okay.✨ How AI can lighten the education load so vets have more time for hands-on healing.✨ How journaling with AI could one day help diagnose conditions like Addison’s more accurately.✨ How misusing AI for DIY treatments or dosing can be risky, and why your vet must stay involved.✨ Why future care may depend less on having every answer and more on asking better questions.✨ And how embracing AI as part of the care team helps both pets and people.RESOURCES:🐾 Learn more about the Uncharted Veterinary Conference🐾 Explore Synap Neuro-Inclusive LeadershipFOLLOW:Ron Sosa on Instagram: @ron.sosa84Ron Sosa on Linked In: Ronald Sosa, CVPM, CCFP, PgD-CLDIntegrative Pet Wellness Center: https://integrativepet.com/Integrative Pet Wellness Center on Instagram: @integrativepetDr. Lily Chen on Instagram: @dr.lilychen@the.unicorn.vetSign up for our newsletter to get more pet health tips and behind-the-scenes insights. | — | ||||||
| 9/2/25 | ![]() The Hidden Risks of Vaccines, Flea & Tick Meds, and Heartworm Prevention for Dogs w/ Dr. Laurie Coger | So many pet parents want to do the right thing and so they vaccinate on schedule, give monthly parasite prevention, and follow the “standard” advice from their vet. But what if those very routines are putting your dog (or cat) at risk? In this episode, I’m joined by veterinarian Dr. Laurie Coger to unpack the hidden risks of routine care and what’s actually safe for your pup. We talk about vaccines, flea and tick medications, heartworm prevention, and how to make decisions that protect your dog’s long-term health.This conversation is full of practical takeaways you can use right away, like the questions to ask your vet, when titer testing makes sense, how to know if parasite prevention is really necessary, and why building your dog’s microbiome may be the best defense of all.If you’ve ever felt confused about what your dog really needs (and what they don’t), this episode will give you clarity and confidence to make the best choices for your pet.KEY INSIGHTS:✨ The crucial difference between vaccination (giving a shot) and immunization (achieving immunity), and why titer testing matters.✨ Why protocols are designed for the weakest pets, and how that can mean overdosing the strongest.✨ The hidden risks of long-acting parasite preventives (and why convenience can sometimes come at a cost).✨ Safer, smarter ways to approach flea, tick, and heartworm prevention based on region, lifestyle, and your dog’s health history.✨ How the microbiome is your dog’s first line of defense, and why antibiotics and kibble diets can undermine resilience.✨ The environmental ripple effects of vaccines and parasite medications we rarely consider.✨ Why building a veterinary dream team—integrative vets, conventional vets, specialists, and emergency care—is the best way to cover every stage of your dog’s life.✨ How to approach conversations with your vet with respect, even when you disagree, and find practitioners who align with your values.RESOURCES:🐾 Dr. Laurie Coger’s book 👇 Vaccines Explained:The Wholistic Vet’s Guide to Vaccinationing Your Dog FOLLOW:Dr. Laurie Coger Website: https://healthydogworkshop.com/Dr. Laurie Coger on Instagram: @healthydogworkshopIntegrative Pet Wellness Center: https://integrativepet.com/Integrative Pet Wellness Center on Instagram: @integrativepetDr. Lily Chen on Instagram: @dr.lilychen@the.unicorn.vetSign up for our newsletter to get more pet health tips and behind-the-scenes insights. | — | ||||||
| 8/10/25 | ![]() How to Help Your Dog Avoid Painful Joint Problems w/ Dr. Madeleine Browne | In this week’s episode, I have the absolute joy of chatting with Dr. Madeleine Browne, a fellow integrative veterinarian and sports medicine expert who’s just as passionate as I am about helping our pets thrive at every stage of life. We dive into one of my favorite topics: how to protect your dog’s joints, starting long before you ever see signs of stiffness or pain. Because here’s the truth… the way your pup plays, moves, and exercises from those wiggly puppy days can shape their mobility for years to come. Dr. Browne shares simple, practical steps you can start right away, from gentle play modifications to fun at-home strengthening exercises, all designed to help your dog avoid heartbreaking conditions like arthritis, cruciate ligament tears, and IVDD (herniated discs). If you’ve ever dreamed of your fur baby trotting happily by your side well into their golden years, this episode is filled with the tools to make that dream a reality. Let’s keep those tails wagging for life 🐶 KEY INSIGHTS:✨ Why mobility matters at every age — and how prevention in puppyhood sets the stage for lifelong joint health.✨ How everyday activities like stairs, zoomies, and jumping off the couch can impact growing joints, and how to make them safer.✨ Why keeping your dog lean is one of the most powerful ways to prevent arthritis and other mobility problems.✨ How “prehab” (rehabilitation exercises started before injury) can strengthen your dog’s core, improve coordination, and lower injury risk.✨ Breed-specific risks you should know — and what to ask your vet about preventing common issues like IVDD or cruciate ligament tears.✨ Simple at-home strengthening exercises, including the “doggy crunch,” to build core stability and protect the spine.✨ How to safely prepare puppies for high-impact activities like hiking, jogging, or agility — and why starting too soon can backfire.✨ And home environment changes (like raised food bowls and non-slip flooring) that can make a big difference for joint protection.RESOURCES:Check out Dr. Madeleine’s educational blog posts on her website for more joint health and mobility tips: Balanced Paws VetFOLLOW:Dr. Madeleine Browne: @balancedpawsvetIntegrative Pet Wellness Center: integrativepet.comIntegrative Pet Wellness Center on Instagram: @integrativepetDr. Lily Chen on Instagram: @dr.lilychen @the.unicorn.vetSign up to our newsletter to get more holistic pet care tips | — | ||||||
| 5/4/25 | ![]() Can Acupuncture Work For Your Pet’s Health Issue? w/ Dr. Nell Ostermeier | This week, I’m joined once again by the deeply wise and generous Dr. Nell—veterinarian, beloved teacher, and acupuncture wizard. In Part 2 of our conversation, we explore the magic of acupuncture for our animal patients. From kidney disease and seizures to tummy troubles, diabetes, and even Cushing’s... Dr. Nell gently walks us through how this ancient healing art can offer support when conventional medicine sometimes reaches its limits. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, Could acupuncture help my pet?—this conversation is such a beautiful place to begin. KEY INSIGHTS:How acupuncture isn’t just for pain—it is powerful medicine for chronic diseases like kidney issues, GI imbalances, seizures, pancreatitis, and hormonal dysregulation.How acupuncture improves circulation, balances the nervous system, and helps regulate complex conditions like diabetes and Cushing’s.Why idiopathic conditions (aka the ones with no clear Western cause) often respond wonderfully to acupuncture and herbal support.The beauty of working with patterns of imbalance instead of waiting on a definitive diagnosis.And how Chinese medicine and conventional care don’t have to compete—they actually work best together.RESOURCES:Finding a vet who does acupuncture: Ask your vet if they know of a vet who does acupuncture you could add to your team.

| 4/27/25 | ![]() How to Raise a Puppy That Doesn’t End Up With Chronic Allergies, Itchy Skin, or GI Issues w/ Dr. Lily & Dianne, RVT | What if I told you your puppy or kitten’s first year is the single most important window to shape their lifelong health—and that some of the most common vet protocols (though totally well-intentioned!) might actually be setting them up for chronic issues later on? This is your loving wake-up call. In this episode, I’m joined by our amazing vet tech (and proud new puppy mom!) Dianne. We’re unpacking how these “normal” choices like routine deworming, kibble, and standard vaccine schedules might be doing more harm than good, and we share what you can do instead to support a healthy gut and strong immune system. If you’ve got a young puppy or kitten or you’re thinking of bringing one home, this conversation could save you thousands in future vet bills and, more importantly, so much stress and heartache. And make sure to stick around until the end—we’re sharing something super exciting that we created just for you! KEY INSIGHTS:Why the period between 8 to 16 weeks is the most critical stage of puppy development and how it shapes their lifelong health, socialization, and behavior.How colostrum, the very first milk, sets up a puppy’s immune system for success, and why missing it in the first 24 hours can leave a crucial gap in their early immune protection. How weaning from mother’s milk to kibble shocks a puppy’s digestive system and how this early disruption can increase the risk of chronic inflammatory diseases in dogs later in life.Why it’s essential to slowly transition your puppy to fresh food instead of abruptly switching diets. Why protecting your puppy’s microbiome is vital and how using natural alternatives to antibiotics, like ozone therapy, can support immune development without harming gut health.How asking your vet for a PCR fecal test for puppies (rather than a standard fecal test) can catch more parasites and help avoid unnecessary chemical deworming.How some parasites can be safely treated without harsh medications and why exploring natural parasite treatment options for puppies and kittens can help avoid side effects and drug resistance.Why vaccine titer testing for puppies is a powerful tool—and how it helps prevent the dangers of over-vaccination while still ensuring proper disease protection. How investing in a titer test during the first year can save you thousands of dollars (and avoid major health issues) over your dog’s lifetime.What the latest research says about when to spay or neuter a dog—and how delaying sterilization or keeping certain breeds intact can protect against certain types of cancer.And we share an exciting announcement for puppy and kitten pet parents around the world!RESOURCES:Click here to learn more about the Baby Pearls Membership 💖🛎️👇🏻BABY PEARLS MEMBERSHIP And if your pet isn’t a baby anymore, but you’d love support staying on top of their preventative health care, check out the Silver, Gold, and Diamond Tiers in the Concierge Membership 🛎️FOLLOW:Integrative Pet Wellness Center on Instagram: @integrativepetDr. Lily Chen on Instagram: @dr.lilychen @the.unicorn.vet Integrative Pet Wellness Center: https://integrativepet.com/Dianne on Instagram:@mywildthyme @diannemakesart Dianne’s puppy Mabel on Instagram: @withlovemabelroux | — | ||||||
| 4/20/25 | ![]() Behind the Scenes: The Emotional Side of Being a Vet w/ Dr. Nell Ostermeier | In this week’s episode, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Nell for a deeply human, heart-opening conversation that every pet parent and veterinarian needs to hear. We explore a topic that often gets overlooked—the emotional well-being of vets. Dr. Nell shares the mission behind the CALM Movement (Conscious Animal Lovers Movement) and how healing isn’t just about the medicine we use but also the energy, intention, and presence we bring into the room. We talk about burnout, the often unsustainable pace of conventional practice, and what begins to shift when vets slow down and offer each patient a little more of their time. This episode can help you and your vet navigate the challenges that come with helping a pet heal and find a way forward together as a team.KEY INSIGHTS:✨ How healing really is a shared journey between pet, pet parent, and their vet and how the energy each person brings matters.✨ How our emotional state, stress, and even unspoken tension between the team can directly impact our pet’s ability to heal.✨ How CALM (Conscious Animal Lovers Movement) was founded by Dr. Allen Schoen to raise awareness about how energy, presence, and frequency influence healing outcomes.✨ How choosing a different model and slowing down veterinary appointments allows for deeper care, stronger relationships, and better results.✨ How time stress is one of the biggest contributors to burnout for vets and also the reason so many pet parents leave the vet without their questions getting answered. ✨ How easy little practices like taking three deep breaths or stepping outside for one minute can shift your nervous system from fight-or-flight into calm presence.✨ How when pet parents share what matters most to them (like sleep, comfort, quality of life), it helps vets tailor care more effectively.✨ How slow, present, preventative care is often more effective (and more financially sustainable) than rushing to fit more patients into the day.✨ And Dr. Lily and Dr. Nell share their top tips for navigating uncomfortable conversations and moments where you and your vet don’t see eye to eye.

| 3/23/25 | ![]() Dog Dental Health Hacks That Can Prevent Serious Diseases w/ Dr. Katie Kangas | This week, I'm joined once again by the brilliant Dr. Katie Kangas—veterinarian, educator, and true oral health guru. With decades of experience working alongside board-certified veterinary dentists, she brings such a deep well of insight. In this episode, we're diving into what every pet parent needs to know about preventing tooth pain, gum disease, and yes—even early death–from untreated dental issues. Dr. Katie breaks down why anesthesia-free cleanings aren't very effective, how your small dog is at greater risk than your big dog, and how to understand the difference between general practice and specialty dentistry. And here's the best part: she shares powerful (and easy!) daily hacks you can start using right now to protect your pet's dental health. This episode could literally save your dog's life. Let's get into it 🦷KEY INSIGHTS:How dental disease in dogs is a hidden source of chronic inflammation linked to heart disease, kidney disease, arthritis, and even a shortened lifespan. How pets can’t truly be in whole-body wellness while living with poor oral health—and why it’s a foundational part of your dog’s long-term health plan.How gingivitis is the first warning sign—if your pet’s gums bleed or look red, it’s important to catch it early and help them heal.How brushing your pet’s teeth is the gold standard, but even just gently rubbing the gums daily with coconut oil or natural dental products can make a real difference.How important it is to look inside your pet’s mouth regularly—so you can spot early signs of inflammation, dental pain, broken teeth, infections, or a mass starting to grow. How the supplement TEEF helps rebalance your pet’s oral microbiome by feeding the good bacteria and reducing the bad—improving breath and reducing harmful plaque.How kibble does not clean teeth—and can actually increase your pet’s risk of dental disease.How to choose safe dog chews that help support dental health without risking fractured teeth—and which popular chews to avoid.How broken teeth in dogs are a serious medical issue that can cause pain, infection, and systemic inflammation—and need immediate attention from your vet.How integrative whole-body care at home can still make a powerful impact—especially when anesthesia isn’t an option due to heart conditions, kidney disease, or budget constraints.And Dr. Katie tells us about her own natural dental product for dogs.

| 2/23/25 | ![]() This could be the reason your pet isn't getting better | I'm Dr. Lily Chen, an integrative veterinarian with 14 years of experience solving tough pet health cases. In this episode, I'll share what integrative veterinary medicine looks like and what options exist for your pet. You'll also hear remarkable healing stories from my own pet patients–Bailey, Leia, and Jinju–to show you what's possible for your pet. I've seen firsthand how true healing happens when we give pets exactly what their bodies need and help restore their foundational health. And if you're feeling skeptical, I completely understand…I used to be a skeptic, too. But when conventional methods weren't enough to save my pet patients, I knew I had to explore other ways to help them and the results? Nothing short of magical. And I'll also get into how you can use these integrative modalities to not only heal your pet, but actually help prevent them from getting ill in the first place. KEY INSIGHTS: The pet who made me question everything conventional medicine had taught me. How when we give the body what it needs, the body is often able to heal itself. The miraculous results I got using acupuncture–and what other leading edge modalities exist. How preventative integrative medicine can help prevent your pet from getting sick. How we can avoid side effects and help pets heal at the root cause instead of just managing symptoms. How holistic medicine usually has minimal side effects and downside. You might be investing in time and money, but you also might, more often than not, heal your pet. How these holistic modalities are actually science-based. How integrative medicine doesn’t reject conventional medicine. Instead, it builds on that really strong foundation. And how it can be a lot more work to heal your pet in this way, but the results are totally worth it!

| 1/19/25 | ![]() Mental health for vets and pet parents with Shannon | In this episode, I catch up with Shannon, my former technician at Integrative Pet, who is now in vet school. We chatted about her experience in vet school, how she used her mindset as a gymnast to help her cultivate the resilience she needed in a demanding vet program, working as a team in the veterinary space and how we need more female vets in leadership positions. And we dive deep into mental health for both vets and pet parents. Whether you're a student vet, a practicing vet, or a pet parent this episode is for you. KEY INSIGHTS: How Shannon used her mindset as an athlete to succeed at vet school. Shannon highlights the importance of mental health resources and fostering a culture of compassion and vulnerability in the profession. How veterinary medicine isn't just about treating animals. It's about understanding and connecting with pet parents. How vets cope with euthanasia 💔 How pet parents are really the experts in their pets, and how their vet really needs to be in partnership with them.

| 1/12/25 | ![]() What Is a Concierge House Call Vet? with Dr. Eve Harrison | In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Eve Harrison, an integrative concierge house-call veterinarian based in Los Angeles and the founder of House Call Vet Academy. Together, we dive into what concierge veterinary care looks like and why this hands-on intensive model of care creates better health outcomes and allows pet parents to have a "family vet" with whom they can cultivate a deep bond. Whether you're a devoted pet parent looking for next level health care for your fur baby or a vet curious about this model of care, this episode is for you 💜 KEY INSIGHTS: Why the concierge model is a premium, high-value offering for the most devoted pet parents with the resources to care for their pets at that level. Why slowing down and spending more time with a select few pet parents and their pets leads to better outcomes. How moving away from a reactive, emergency-driven model of care to a proactive, wellness-focused model has the potential to transform veterinary medicine. How concierge care fosters meaningful partnerships with pet families and deepens the connection between vets and clients. How by addressing issues in real-time, concierge clients can often avoid emergencies, lightening the load on ER practices. How concierge models allow vets to step away from the high-pressure, high-volume traditional practice to rediscover joy and fulfillment in their work and avoid burnout. And we dive into the "energetics of money" and how really investing in your pet's health often results in the best outcomes.

| 12/29/24 | ![]() Empathy in Action: Holistic Approaches to Relieving Pet Pain | In this episode, Dr. Lily dives into an important and timely discussion about long-term pain management for pets, addressing the concerns surrounding popular pain injections like Librela and Solensia. While these quick fixes may seem appealing, they come with potential long-term complications and risks that every pet parent should be aware of. We explore what truly moves the needle in pain management by focusing on whole-body wellness and sustainable approaches to healing. Key Topics Discussed: 📍The Importance of Accurate Diagnoses: Why understanding the root cause of your pet’s pain is critical for effective treatment. How conditions like arthritis can lead to secondary pain in other parts of the body. 📍Rethinking Pain as a Signal: Pain as the body’s protective mechanism. The risks of masking pain without addressing the underlying issues. 📍Holistic and Integrative Pain Management Options: Prolotherapy: A powerful injection combining nutrients, homeopathics, ozone, and a tiny amount of cortisol for localized inflammation relief. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Using your pet’s own blood to concentrate healing factors and promote natural repair. Amnion Therapy: Harnessing the regenerative power of stem-cell-rich amniotic fluid for safe and effective healing. 📍Non-Invasive Approaches: The role of thermal imaging in identifying inflammation hotspots. Laser therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and therapeutic massages to alleviate pain and restore balance. Acupuncture as a tool to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities. 📍The Long-Term Vision: Why addressing the root cause of pain leads to better outcomes for your pet. Building a sustainable care plan with your veterinarian that prioritizes your pet’s individual needs. Takeaways for Pet Parents: Ask your vet about diagnostic tools beyond standard X-rays to get a clearer picture of your pet’s condition. Discuss alternative therapies that target healing rather than just masking pain. Advocate for a care approach that prioritizes your pet’s unique body and lifestyle. This holiday season, give your pet the gift of lasting wellness and comfort by exploring integrative approaches to pain management. 🎙️Have questions about your pet’s pain management options?
