Nora Lenz - Your Dog’s Dinner Might Be the Problem (and the Cure)
What If the Food You Feed Your Dog Is the Root Cause (and the Cure) for Their Illness?
In this episode, I’m joined by Nora Lenz, creator of Rotational MonoFeeding (RMF), to explore a radical – and radically simple – idea: that feeding dogs according to their biological needs not only prevents disease but can actually reverse it.
Nora’s journey started back in the 80s when she studied human nutrition and discovered the powerful connection between food, health, and emotional well-being. It didn’t take long for her to apply those insights to her own dogs and the results? Nothing short of transformative.
We talk about how the pet food industry (and, sadly, often the veterinary system) pushes kibble, chemicals, and confusion – when in fact, the body knows how to heal. It just needs the right conditions.
If you’ve ever wondered what’s really in your dog’s bowl and how it might be affecting their health, this episode is a must-listen.
🦴 In This Conversation, We Explore:
Why mixing meat and plants in one meal disrupts digestion for both dogs and humansWhat “rotational mono feeding” is and how it mimics what wild dogs eat in nature
How a dog’s vibrant health depends on removing the causes of disease – not adding more remedies
The mistake most dog guardians make when transitioning away from kibble – and how to do it safely
Why symptoms like skin issues, digestive problems, or even kidney disease can often be resolved through diet alone
How Nora’s feeding model turns conventional wisdom upside down – and empowers you to stop relying on the sick pet industry
