In this episode, Dr. Amy Hayek of Animal Chiropractic Education Source shares some of her knowledge of chiropractic care and of how natural rhythms affect our horses' bodies (as well as our own). We touch on a lot of topics that deserve a deep dive but thankfully, Dr. Amy and her husband Dr. O have created an educational platform that could very well be a one-stop shop for exploring these topics further. They offer over 340 topics that satisfy requirements for continued education for animal chiropractors. There courses are not just for animal chiropractors and veterinarians, however; animal lovers can enroll in plenty of online classes that will help to better aid their understanding of their animals anatomy and physiology, for example: saddle fit. For veterinarians and animal chiropractors, they even offer many in person intensives. You will just have to check them out for yourself.

We talk specifically about:
*how Dr. Amy's clinic went relatively drug-free.
*how the water cycle (tides and moon phases) influences the fluid cycles of the body and subsequent effects on our physiologies
*avoiding health problems through de-worming at the opportune times
*taking rectal temperatures for 4-7 days in a row in early morning to establish our horses' unique basal temperatures
*creating a moon phase + temperature chart in our barns to observe the influence of the moon cycle on our horses' temperatures
*offering a variety of plants for grazing in pastures
*Juliette de Bairacli Levy and her book, The Complete Herbal Handbook for Farm and Stabe
(which I had forgotten the title of during our chat)
*glyphosate (ewwwey) and how feed and hay treated with this causes minearal storage and uptake issues. Check out the Rich Roll podcast for a great talk on this: "Zach Bush, M.D. on GMO's, Glyphosate & Healing the Gut"
*4 steps to get our horses' health on track- 1.) Keep them on grass 2.) use unfertilized hay 3.) take their Temps 4.) check out the ACSE (their website) course, "Cellular Healing"
*A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold
*Dr. Amy's advice to pre-vet students
