About this episode
Darin Olien interviews Angela Ardolino about the hidden influences in veterinary medicine and holistic approaches to pet care.
What if everything you've been taught about caring for your dog needs a second look? In this eye-opening conversation, Darin sits down with lifelong animal advocate, senior dog rescue operator, and canine wellness educator Angela Ardolino to explore the hidden forces shaping modern veterinary medicine. After both she and her beloved dog were diagnosed with degenerative diseases, Angela began questioning conventional treatments and discovered the transformative potential of full-spectrum hemp extract, medicinal mushrooms, species-appropriate nutrition, and addressing the root causes of disease.
