Episode 8: Digestive enzymes

Natural Health for People and Pets Podcast

Most people will have heard the saying - “you are what you eat” but in reality, you are what you absorb! Research suggests that at least 50% of Australian and US adults experience digestive symptoms such as bloating, gas, diarrhoea and constipation. Unfortunately, our dogs are following in our footsteps, with digestive issues being the most common canine health problem that vets see. In this episode I discuss the ins-and-outs of digestive enzymes for both people and pets - what are they, the different types, causes of enzyme deficiency, how to know if you need one, food and supplemental sources, along with applications for both people and dogs. But digestive enzymes may not be for everyone, so I also highlight who shouldn't take them.
