I have been giving some thought to the Premium tier inside Skool Cafeteria. More content is on the way. Quite a bit, actually. Before that happens, I wanted to make a quiet offer available to a small group. Normally, Premium access is $39 per month. For the next 10 members, I am offering a full year for $78. That is not a tactic. It is simply a way to allow a few people to come in early, at a level that works, before the library grows and the value shifts. No pressure. If it feels right, take a look: 👉 https://www.skool.com/skool-cafeteria-3864 And if not, that is perfectly fine as well. The space will continue to grow, and you are always welcome when the timing makes sense.

Please help me welcome @Jens Dietrich to our family!

Who are my April and May birthday people? YOU deserve to be celebrated! I'm catching up on things...sorry for not being as active....I have a terrible foot injury and infection....finally doing a little better.

Just like traditional M.D.s, veterinarians weren’t trained to detect early physiological compensation, only disease. Just like human medicine, veterinary training focuses on diagnosing and treating pathology/diseases, not preventing it. Vets are trained to identify what’s wrong, not what’s starting to go wrong. Traditional veterinary medicine, like traditional human medicine, is built around disease management, not early‑stage prevention. Vets are experts in pathology/disease. Prevention‑based physiology simply isn’t part of their training. They were trained for the crisis. Not the clues. Something Your Vet Isn’t Trained to Look For For every community that loves their pets but knows something isn’t adding up. There’s a moment every pet parent has. You look at your dog or cat and think: “This behavior doesn’t feel random, but no one can explain it.” The itching with no rash. The pacing with no trigger. The sudden clinginess. The sudden distance. The coat that “just changed.” The sleep that looks off. The anxiety that came out of nowhere. The “aging” that feels too early. Most people shrug it off. Most professionals normalize it. Some even make that hard decision before they need to. But here’s the part no one tells you: Your pet’s body sends signals long before anything shows up on labs. And almost no one is trained to read them. Not trainers. Not groomers. Not behavior groups. Not nutrition groups. Not even most veterinary teams. There’s an entire layer of physiology that sits under the symptoms, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it. It explains the “mystery behaviors.” It explains the “random sensitivities.” It explains the “quirks” that aren’t quirks at all. It explains why your pet changes before anyone can name the reason. It explains the premature aging, it explains why they are sick. If you’ve ever felt like you’re missing the real story, you’re not wrong. You’re just reading the output, not the system. Today I will look at the difference between functional/nutritional medicine and traditional veterinary medicine.
