Revisited: Canine First Aid - What Every Guardian Should Know with Rachel Bean, RVN
<p>In this revisited episode of the Mystic Dog Mama podcast, I’m bringing back an incredibly important conversation with canine first aid instructor and registered veterinary nurse, Rachel Bean.</p><p>When we think about caring for our dogs, we often focus on food, supplements, enrichment, and daily wellbeing — but knowing what to do in an emergency is one of the most empowering skills a dog guardian can have.</p><p>Because when something unexpected happens, panic can quickly take over.</p><p>This conversation is designed to help you feel calmer, more prepared, and more confident in those moments that matter most.</p><p>Rachel shares practical, accessible guidance on:</p><ul><li>what to do if your dog is choking</li><li>handling bleeding and injuries</li><li>canine CPR basics</li><li>paw pad burns and summer safety</li><li>common first aid myths</li><li>what to avoid if you suspect heatstroke</li><li>essential items to keep in your dog’s first aid kit</li></ul><p>Whether you’re building your first canine first aid kit or simply want to feel more equipped in an emergency, this episode offers practical knowledge that every dog guardian should have.</p><p>This conversation originally aired in December 2024, but it is just as relevant today - especially as we move into warmer weather and more outdoor adventures with our dogs.</p><p>Keep a notebook nearby for this one. You’ll likely walk away with a few things you’ll want to remember.</p><p>To contact Rachel:</p><p><a href="mailto:rachelbean@hotmail.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">rachelbean@hotmail.co.uk</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/RachelBeanVetNurse" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/RachelBeanVetNurse</a></p><p>Connect with me!</p><p>Website: <a href="https://mysticdogmama.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://mysticdogmama.com</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/mysticdogmama" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://instagram.com/mysticdogmama</a></p><p>Come join my free Facebook group, First Light.

Raw Feeding: What the Evidence Actually Says About Canine Health (Part 1) with Dr Anna Hielm-Björkman
<p>What if one of the biggest problems in canine nutrition is that we’ve barely studied fresh food at all?</p><p>In this deep and thought-provoking conversation, I sit down with veterinarian and researcher Dr. Anna Hielm-Björkman from the University of Helsinki’s DogRisk research group - one of the only independent, university-connected teams in the world researching raw feeding and fresh food diets in dogs.</p><p>But this episode isn’t about telling you what you should feed your dog.</p><p>It’s about asking a much bigger question:</p><p><strong>How do we actually know what we know about canine nutrition?</strong></p><p>Together, we explore how pet food research is conducted, why so much of it focuses on ultra-processed diets, and what happens when fresh and raw food are finally brought into the scientific conversation.</p><p>Dr Anna shares her own journey from conventional veterinary medicine into a more integrative approach to canine health — including acupuncture, nutrition, and preventative care — and why she became passionate about researching the relationship between food and chronic disease.</p><p>We also dive into:</p><ul><li>why there is still surprisingly little independent long-term research on canine nutrition,</li><li>how veterinary nutrition education is shaped,</li><li>what “complete and balanced” actually means,</li><li>why the form of a nutrient matters just as much as the nutrient itself,</li><li>how processing changes the way a dog’s body metabolizes and utilizes food,</li><li>and why fresh-fed dogs may require entirely different frameworks for feeding guidelines, lab reference ranges, and health evaluation.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>This is a conversation about nuance, evidence, and curiosity beyond fear, marketing, and polarized internet debates.</p><p>Whether you feed raw, gently cooked, wet food, kibble, or somewhere in between, this episode invites us to think more deeply about what health really looks like for our dogs - and how science can evolve when we begin asking better questions.</p><p>And this is only part one.</p><p>In the next episode, Anna and I will dive into one of the most controversial aspects of this conversation: pathogens, risk, food safety, and the myths surrounding raw feeding.</p><p>If this episode resonated with you, please share it with a fellow dog guardian, leave a review, or tag us on Instagram @mysticdogmama with your biggest takeaway. These conversations matter because the future of canine health depends on the questions we’re willing to ask.</p><p>More about DogRisk:</p><p><a href="https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/dogrisk-health-via-nutrition-epidemiology-and-disease-detection-dogs">https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/dogrisk-health-via-nutrition-epidemiology-and-disease-detection-dogs</a></p><p>Register for the DogRisk Seminar: <a href="https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/health-via-nutrition-epidemiology-and-disease-detection-dogs/news-and-happenings/save-the-date-the-8th-dogrisk-seminar-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/health-via-nutrition-epidemiology-and-disease-detection-dogs/news-and-happenings/save-the-date-the-8th-dogrisk-seminar-2026</a></p><p><br></p><p>Connect with me!</p><p>Website: <a href="https://mysticdogmama.com"><u>https://mysticdogmama.com</u></a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/mysticdogmama"><u>https://instagram.com</u>/mysticdogmama</a></p><p>Come join my free Facebook group, First Light.

What is Homeopathy, Really?: An Entirely Different Model of Healing, with Dr Lise Hansen
<p>In today’s episode, we’re exploring one of the most misunderstood approaches to healing: homeopathy.</p><p>But beyond the debates, what is homeopathy, really? </p><p>How does it differ from conventional medicine? Why does it view symptoms so differently? And what happens when we begin seeing symptoms not simply as problems to suppress, but as communication from the body itself?</p><p>Joining me for this conversation is holistic veterinarian and veterinary homeopath Dr. Lise Hansen. Together, we explore homeopathy as an entirely different model of healing - one rooted in the idea of supporting health, observing the individual as a whole being, and working with the body rather than against an ailment.</p><p>We discuss:</p><ul><li>what homeopathy actually is (and isn’t)</li><li>the philosophy behind homeopathic healing</li><li>how homeopathy differs from allopathic medicine</li><li>why two dogs with the same diagnosis may receive different remedies</li><li>the meaning of symptoms through a homeopathic lens</li><li>Dr. Hansen’s suggestions for a basic homeopathic first aid kit</li><li>when homeopathy may not be appropriate and when conventional veterinary care is essential</li></ul><p>This episode isn’t about telling you what to believe. It’s an invitation into a broader, deeper conversation about healing, vitality, and the ways we’ve been taught to think about the body - both our dogs’ and our own.</p><p>Whether you’re deeply familiar with homeopathy, a little bit curious, or even a little bit skeptical, I hope this conversation encourages greater curiosity, discernment, and reflection around what it truly means to support health.</p><p>If this episode resonated with you, share it with a fellow dog mama who might need to hear it 💛<br>And I’d love to hear your reflections. Come say hello on Instagram <strong>@mysticdogmama</strong> and let me know what landed for you.</p><p>Don’t forget to follow or subscribe so you don’t miss future episodes.</p><p><br></p><p>Learn more about Dr. Lise Hansen and her work: <a href="https://alternative-vet.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://alternative-vet.co.uk</a></p><p>Resources mentioned:</p><p>The British Association of Homeopathic Veterinary Surgeons <a href="https://bahvs.net/"><u>https://bahvs.net/</u></a></p><p>Homeopathy Research Institute https://www.hri-research.org/</p><p>The film Introducing Homeopathy: <a href="https://introducinghomeopathy.com/"><u>https://introducinghomeopathy.com/</u></a></p><p>Connect with me!</p><p>Website: <a href="https://mysticdogmama.com"><u>https://mysticdogmama.com</u></a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/mysticdogmama"><u>https://instagram.com</u>/mysticdogmama</a></p><p>Come join my free Facebook group, First Light.
