Thankful for the opportunity to learn from Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms at his Regenerative AG & Homesteading Summit.

I’m inspired by his views on regenerative agriculture and stewarding God’s creation through the provision He built into it.

I love learning from people who are passionate about caring for the land, animals, and food systems in a way that honors the Creator. 🌱 🐄

𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫 🐔🌿

One of the simplest ways I support our flock’s health, without relying on harsh chemical dewormers that can be hard on the gut.

Using organic herbs, I made this 1 lb blend for $17.97, and it mixes right into a 50 lb bag of feed.

✨ Food really can be medicine, even for your chickens!

The blend (for 1 lb total):
• Oregano – 12.5% (2 oz)
• Chili flakes – 15% (2.4 oz)
• Cayenne – 23.5% (3.76 oz)
• Garlic – 21% (3.36 oz)
• Black pepper – 23% (3.68 oz)
• Flax seeds – 5% (0.8 oz)

➡️ Add 1 lb of this mix per 50 lb bag of feed

Why this over conventional dewormers?
While chemical dewormers have their place, they can be tough on the gut and disrupt the natural balance of the microbiome.

This blend works differently, it helps:
• Support a healthy gut environment
• Promote digestion and nutrient absorption
• Encourage balance so parasites are less likely to thrive
• Support the immune system naturally

This is part of a bigger picture:
✔️ Clean coop
✔️ Fresh water
✔️ Quality feed
✔️ Rotational grazing

Instead of trying to just kill parasites. we’re building resilience from the inside out.

You don’t have to choose between healthy and affordable when feeding your dog.

This custom-formulated beef recipe cost just $39.10 to make and provides 10.5 days of food for an average 30 lb dog.

That breaks down to:
• $2.44 per cup
• $3.66 per day
• made with organic, whole food ingredients

Now compare that to many “fresh” commercial dog foods…
💸 $8–12 per day for the same size dog

The truth?
Feeding real food is often more affordable than people think, especially when you cook it yourself.

This isn’t a random recipe off the internet.
Every recipe I formulate is tailored to:
• your pet’s life stage
• activity level
• health history
• and proper nutritional balance

So you can feel confident in what you’re feeding every single day.

In the winter, I rely more on frozen organic produce.
In the summer, it’s fresh ingredients from the garden and local farmers markets 🌿
(Bonus tip: buying in bulk can lower costs even more.)

Real food.
Balanced nutrition.
Often less expensive than kibble or delivery services.

If you’ve been wanting to cook for your dog but don’t know where to start, I’ve got you. 🤍

Adding a fresh food topper to your pet’s bowl can:
✨ Increase variety to support the microbiome

4th of July is coming 🇺🇸🎆
So let’s talk about your dog… NOW 👇

If your pup struggles with fireworks by pacing, panting, hiding, or glued to your side, it’s not “bad behavior.”

It’s a nervous system that’s overwhelmed.

And here’s the mistake most people make…

They wait until the fireworks start to try to fix it.

But if your dog already struggles, we need to start supporting them before the 4th.

✔️ Create a safe, quiet space
✔️ Start nervous system support now
✔️ Reduce extra stress this week
✔️ Focus on real food + gut support

Because a stressed body creates a stressed dog.

We’re not just surviving fireworks night… we’re building dogs that can handle stress better long-term.

Blog post us up on our website if you want to dig deeper.

Start now. Your dog will thank you!

🎆 If you want help putting a simple, supportive plan together for your dog’s anxiety, gut health, or overall health, I offer free discovery calls where we map out what your dog actually needs.

Most people think dental disease is just about bad breath. When in fact, the oral microbiome impacts the whole body.

Bacteria from periodontal disease enters the bloodstream, directly impacting the heart, kidneys, and liver.

Oral health is part of every conversation I have about whole-body wellness. What your dog eats plays a direct role in oral microbiota and any build-up on their teeth.

I dropped the studies in the comments so you can read the research yourself. 👇

Hoof abscesses can be incredibly painful… and most approaches focus on forcing them open or managing them with constant soaking and wrapping.

But the body already knows how to heal, we just have to support it .✨

This is an example of a circulation + decompression taping using functional taping.

The goal here is to:
• Encourage circulation to the area
• Reduce pressure, inflammation and pain within the hoof
• Support the body’s natural drainage pathways
• Help move infection toward the lymphatic system

I’ve found this especially helpful when I want to support relief in a more gentle, non-invasive way. I went out the next morning to a cleared abscess and sound horse 🙌🏻

It’s not about replacing necessary care, but about giving the body the support it needs to do its job better. This has been such a powerful modality to add to my toolkit for supporting whole-body health 🤍

Holistic care is all about working with the body, not against it.
