On this episode…
Dr. Judy started her practice with conventional veterinary animal care, but has found over her 30 years of practice that taking a holistic, natural approach has served her clients/fur babies very well. She’s had amazing outcomes by treating each pet individually with modalities that are not quite considered mainstream…yet! Dr. Judy treated Lilli via telemedicine during our COVID shutdown and has been a wealth of knowledge since. My only wish is that I had found her sooner. You will get so much valuable information from our talk. I enjoyed it so much I’m hoping we can do something ongoing.
Please don’t forget to rate and review!
About Judy…
Dr Judy received her formal education at Colorado State University, including a bachelor’s degree in Zoology in 1984, followed by her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1988. Following graduation, she started her career in a rural, mixed-animal practice in Pocatello, ID. She then relocated to the Salt Lake City, UT area before returning to Denver, CO in 2001. She purchased a practice in Englewood, Co in 2003, which she transitioned from a conventional practice to one with a strong holistic foundation. She sold this practice in 2015 and now operates a practice out of her home in Littleton, Co.
Using the knowledge gained in her 30+ years of practicing, Dr Judy has developed a unique whole-body approach to both treating and preventing disease. She looks at the whole animal, and supports the natural healing ability of the body with proper nutrition, detoxification, and eliminating the underlying causes of disease. She then uses tools such as ozone, herbs, cbd, essential oils, and whole food supplements to optimize the health of the body and help it to eliminate the disease.
She does not believe in a magic-bullet approach, whether it is using an herb or a conventional pharmaceutical. The body is a biological system and needs to be supported in many different aspects. Her wellness plans begin helping at a young age, addressing nutrition and reducing the use of vaccines and pharmaceuticals to help the pet get off to a great start with a strong immune system.
In her personal time, she has found that spending time in nature is both inspiring and rejuvenating. She loves to spend time hiking, snowshoeing, and camping with her husband Chris. When at home she enjoys reading, running, gardening, cooking, and is always looking for new things to learn.
Her personal pet and teacher is Wylie, a Chihuahua mix, who is always in her shadow.
