Most dog food is kibble comprised of a high percentage of corn, wheat, or soybeans. And, while it may satiate your dog until their next meal the ingredients lack the optimum amount of fat and protein dogs need to stay healthy and live a long, happy life. There are other low-carb food options available but how do you know which foods are created to drive profit for manufacturers versus food that is created with the health of your pup in mind? Drew welcomes the CEO and Marketing Director of Visionary Pet, an online raw, nutritious, ketogenic dog food creator to discuss the health benefits of placing your dog on a ketogenic protocol. The company was founded to support the KetoPet Sanctuary, a treatment center for shelter dogs with cancer.
This episode explores the success rate of treating cancer in dogs with a keto diet, why the founders created the project and the benefits you can expect when transitioning your dog to raw, ketogenic food.

The ketogenic diet has evolved since the 1920s when doctors discovered the benefit of using ketones as a fuel source to control seizures in children with drug-resistant epilepsy. Then before the dawn of social media, the keto diet was passed around like a secret in gyms where weightlifters and athletes worked out. Now, there is an entire industry built to offer support for those on the keto diet. You can get keto supplements, keto meal plans, books dedicated to keto, and even listen to keto-based podcasts. But, how do you know which version of keto is right for you?
In this episode, Drew explores the evolution of the ketogenic diet, why a bio-individualized approach is better than a one-size-fits-all approach, and the different morphs of the ketogenic diet, including the Carnivore and the plant-based versions.

So, why aren’t more doctors empowering cancer patients by promoting strength building? And, why is a cookie-cutter diet plan prescribed for everyone when our genetic make-ups are so different? Drew’s guest, Dr. Tom Incledon of Causenta Wellness questions cancer treatment norms and takes a different, scientific approach to health and wellness. During this episode, he shares his goal to create a global database for cancer patients, administer customized nutritional plans based on the individual, and the benefits of strength training for those fighting for their lives.
