“Wholistic” Care for Your Pets

You care for your whole body — mind, body, and soul — so why not your pet? This webinar from a leading veterinarian in “wholistic” health care for animals shares his tips for feeding your pet and ways to reduce the risk of illness using whole-pet care practices.

Study after study shows that having a pet is better for your health. Just the millions of YouTube videos alone prove that pets are silly, heartwarming, curious and at times completely unpredictable. How is that not better for everyone’s health? But there is more, the American Heart Association says that pet owners have reduced heart disease contributors and greater longevity. If pets are good for our health, then it’s only right that we give them the same level of care we expect for ourselves.

In this webinar from our partners at WholisticMatters, veterinarian Patrick Mahaney, VMD, CVA, CVJ, shares his practice of combining Western veterinary medicine with acupuncture and traditional Chinese veterinary medicine. He believes in a “wholistic” approach and emphasizes the importance of a whole-food approach to nutrition. That sounds like good advice for humans and pets.

Do you have trouble staying present? It’s all too common in our instantaneous digital technology world. Learn the tools that center your spirit and bring your energy inward toward mindful interactions. When we think of the word mindfulness, a number of definitions rise to the top, such as being present and thoughtful. On paper, they sound reasonable but when we add in the element of human behavior and our unpredictable nature, two other words enter the mindful lexicon – reacting and responding. What is the difference between reacting and responding? They seem interchangeable, but actually couldn’t be any more different in stressful moments.

Easiest Ever Old-Fashioned Graham Cracker Cookies

Image
These Graham Cracker Cookies are a simple, yummy, and quick dessert: Just spread rich chocolate buttercream between store-bought graham crackers. I figured these graham cracker cookies were the brainchild of my mom, whenever she happened to have leftovers from frosting a cake. Then she told me her mom made them too–and when she packed them in my mom’s lunch, she was embarrassed because the other girls had store-bought cookies, (still, she secretly loved them). Then I posted a photo of these cookies on social media and found out that a whole bunch of you ate these as a kid too. Growing up, we didn’t really have a name for this graham cracker dessert. Now that I make them for my kids, we call them Icebox Cookies because they’re kept in the refrigerator. You might also like: The BEST No-Bake Cookies This is not a complicated cookie.
