Ep. 52 Making One Health Operational with Rune Friis Kristensen
What does it actually take to make One Health operational? In this episode of One Health Wednesdays, guest host Dr. Julia Zammit sits down with Rune Friis Kristensen to explore the business side of One Health and the role veterinary expertise can play in shaping stronger food and health systems.
Rune brings a unique perspective shaped by business, animal nutrition, agriculture, and veterinary systems. Together, he and Dr. Zammit discuss Denmark’s approach to preventive veterinary care, the importance of trusted relationships between veterinarians and farmers, and the real trade-offs that come with balancing animal welfare, sustainability, production, affordability, and consumer expectations.
They also explore Rune’s work with VetSalus, where practicing veterinarians are brought into wider business and sustainability conversations so that decisions are informed by people who remain closely connected to farms, animals, and primary production.
The conversation is a thoughtful look at what it means to move One Health beyond aspiration and into the systems, relationships, and business models that make change possible. If you work in veterinary medicine, agriculture, sustainability, food systems, or One Health, this episode offers a practical perspective on how expertise can be better connected to the decisions that shape the future.

Ep. 51: When the Classroom Opens to the Living World with Dr. Glen Cousquer
In this episode of One Health Wednesdays, guest host Dr. Julia Zammit sits down with Dr. Glen Cousquer for a deeply reflective conversation on awareness based systems change, One Health justice, and what it means to move from thinking about connection to truly practicing relational health.
Together, they explore how language shapes the way we see the world, why outdoor and place based learning matters in health sciences, and how the shift from interdependence to intradependence can deepen our understanding of people, animals, ecosystems, and the more than human world.
Dr. Cousquer invites us to look beyond narrow frameworks and fixed categories. From rivers and badger sets to veterinary campuses and biodiversity, this conversation asks what becomes possible when we bring more presence, humility, and reflexivity into One Health work.
This episode is for anyone working in veterinary medicine, public health, conservation, education, environmental justice, or systems change who is ready to sit with deeper questions about care, responsibility, and the future we are shaping together.

Ep. 50 Celebration!: What 50 Episodes Have Taught Us
In this special 50th episode celebration of One Health Wednesdays, Dr. Ginger Dixon and Dr. Julia Zammit turn the mic toward each other for a candid conversation about the journey so far, the guests who have shaped the show, and the future they hope to keep building together.
They reflect on what continues to draw them to One Health, from community-based data and wildlife epidemiology to agriculture, gender equity, education, and breaking down silos through real human connection. Along the way, they share what they have learned from their guests, what they are reading, what keeps them grounded in this work, and why this community matters so deeply.
We’re celebrating 50 episodes, but what really stands out is the community around this work. It’s the people connecting ideas across disciplines, the researchers and practitioners doing thoughtful work, and the educators and advocates showing up with real heart, all of it in service of a stronger future for the next generation.
