Could this be what’s been missing in your pet’s healing journey? Okay, pet parents… this might be the most unexpectedly fascinating episode we’ve ever recorded. Yes, we’re talking about poop 💩. But not just any poop. We're talking about fecal microbiota transplants (FMT), a powerful healing therapy that’s helping pets recover from chronic disease, regulate their immune system, and even change their behavior. If your dog struggles with chronic vomiting, diarrhea, allergies, or itching and nothing seems to work this episode might open a whole new door. In this episode, I sit down with our incredible vet assistant Mickie for part two of our candid conversation on holistic healing. We dive deep into how I got started with fecal transplants and where we think this is going. Imagine a future where we can select specific strains of bacteria to target specific diseases. Where you can personalize a transplant like you would a supplement blend, mixing and matching strains to target a specific health challenge. Come along as we explore where the fascinating world of microbiome healing is heading, because this might just be the future of medicine, and your pet deserves to be at the forefront of it.

KEY INSIGHTS:

✨ How a pet parent’s research led to Dr. Lily’s very first fecal transplant and the results that blew her mind.

✨ The origin of Dr. Lily’s now-trademarked Balanced Biome protocol (hint: it involved a lot of trial and error).

✨ Why poop from the right donor can reset a pet’s immune system, behavior, and digestion.

✨ The real reason fresh poop works better than powder and how we're thinking of building our own poop bank of super-donors.

✨ What the future of microbiome therapy could look like: personalized blends of specific strains to treat disease.

✨ And why you shouldn’t wait until your pet is sick—microbiome therapy is a powerful preventive tool too.
