In this episode of Your Natural Dog , Angela Ardolino sits down with holistic veterinarian Dr. Michael Dym to discuss why homeopathy, hemp, and other natural therapies are under growing pressure—and what that means for the future of pet health. With over 35 years of experience, Dr. Dym shares insights on chronic disease, the limitations of conventional care, and how supporting the body—not suppressing it—can change outcomes for our pets. Episode Recap: Angela introduces Dr. Michael Dym and they discuss the growing concern around threats to natural therapies like hemp and homeopathy, especially coinciding with a rise in chronic illness, immune dysfunction, and cancer in pets compared to decades ago.
