Lisa is joined by Ricky Brandon, a health and wellness innovator who is turning the modern conversation on BioIdentical Hormone Replacement Therapy on its head to address Myths, Misconceptions, and Outright Lies, that are keeping people from reaching optimal health.According to 2022 data*, generally incurable and ongoing chronic diseases are affecting approximately 133 million Americans, representing more than 40% of the country’s total population. If that isn’t worrying enough, nearly 50 million Americans are additionally suffering ** from one or more mental illnesses. The reasons for this health crisis are many, but one potential catalyst that escapes traditional medicine’s purview are unbalanced hormone levels that go undetected by routine testing.As a health and wellness advocate, Ricky uses natural hormone replacement therapy to help his clients address a myriad of life-altering symptoms, ranging from general anxiety and depression to chronic pain and fatigue. After he spent years of trial and error trying to solve his own family’s health problems that traditional medical approaches weren’t solving, Ricky and his wife Candy, a molecular biologist, started Hormone Balance Centers - a leading provider of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

Then the animal turns and vaults into the dark. When it returns, Caleb is no longer afraid.
Now, in a new school, he is lost again... friendless. When he boldly tells his story of survival to a group of elite students who have never been out of walking distance of a McDonalds, friendships form and even romance blooms.

A regular listener Ray brought to my attention that Cara's sound was much lower than mine. I have no idea how that happened. I put together every show and I must have hit something just before bouncing the file. Anyway, I evened out the sound and it's a MUST LISTEN. Cara is phenomenal and so is her book!
Lisa is joined by Cara Sue Achterberg who talks with Lisa about her book, "Another Good Dog: Our Family and Fifty Foster Dogs."
Cara shares her experience fostering fifty dogs and in this interview you will get to hear about quite a few of them. In addition Cara's book and this interview touches on mothering older children who don't need you quite as much and the challenges that comes with that.
Cara Achterberg is the author of seven books, a creative writing teacher, and a shelter dog advocate. Her memoir, Another Good Dog: One Family and Fifty Foster Dogs was a People magazine ‘people’s pick’ and featured on the Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family Show. Her book, One Hundred Dogs & Counting: One Woman, Ten Thousand Miles, and a Journey Into the Heart of Shelters and Rescues led to Cara cofound Who Will Let the Dogs Out, a nonprofit initiative to raise awareness and resources for shelter dogs. Cara lives in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with her husband, three rescue dogs, and a rotating cast of foster dogs and cats. For more information visit CaraWrites.com.BOOK DESCRIPTION:
In 2015, Cara Achterberg’s Pennsylvania farm became a haven for Operation Paws for Homes, which rescues dogs from high-kill shelters in the rural south and shuttles them north to foster homes. Nine puppies arrived with less than a day’s notice; a heart-worm positive dog; a deeply traumatized stray pup from Iraq; and countless others who just needed a gentle touch and a warm place to sleep. The stories of these remarkable dogs—including an eighty-pound bloodhound who sang arias for the neighbors—and the joy they bring to Cara and her family (along with a few chewed sofa cushions) fill the pages of this touching and inspiring book.When asked how she can possibly say goodbye to that many lovable pups, Cara says, “If I don’t give this one away, I can’t possibly save another.” Filled with humanity and hope, Another Good Dog will take the reader on a journey of smiles, laughs, and tears—and lead us to wonder how many other good dogs are out there and what we can do to help.

EP #29: BOOK: "The Other Family Doctor: A Veterinarian Explores What Animals Can Teach Us About Love, Life, and Mo Jun 15, 2023

Lisa is joined by Karen Fine, DVM who chats with Lisa about her New York Times Best Seller, The Other Family Doctor: A Veterinarian Explores What Animals Can Teach Us About Love, Life, and Mortality.
Dr. Karen Fine (she/her/hers) is a holistic veterinarian who writes about the human-animal bond, holistic veterinary medicine, pet loss, grief, and narrative medicine. She owned and operated her own house call practice, Fine Veterinary House Calls, for twenty-five years. Dr. Fine currently practices small animal medicine in Central Massachusetts, where she lives with her husband and son and an assortment of rescues. She enjoys walking her dogs, eating chocolate, reading, writing, and horseback riding.Her website is www.karenfinedvm.com.BOOK DESCRIPTION
Karen Fine always knew that she wanted to be a vet and wasn't going to let anything stop her: not her allergy to cats, and not the fact that in the '80s veterinary medicine was still a mostly male profession. Inspired by her grandfather, a compassionate doctor who paid house calls to all his (human) patients, Dr. Fine persevered, and brought her Oupa's principles into her own practice, which emphasizes the need to understand her patients’ stories to provide the best possible care.
And in The Other Family Doctor, Dr. Fine shares all these touching, joyful, heartbreaking, and life-affirming tales that make up her career as a vet. There's:
• The feral cat who becomes a creature out of a fable when he puts his trust in a young vet to heal his injured paw
• The pot-bellied pig who grows too big to fit in the car but remains a cherished part of her family
• The surprising colony of perfectly behaved ferrets
• The beloved aging pet who gives her people the gift of accompanying them on one final family vacation
• The dog who saves his owner's life in a most unexpected way
Woven into Dr. Fine's story are, of course, also the stories of her own pets: the birds, cats, and dogs who have taught her the most valuable lessons—how caring for the animals in our lives can teach us to better care for ourselves, especially when life seems precarious.
