We are so trained to use a pill for every ill, right? You have a headache, you take a pill. You have a dog with allergies, you get a pill. But that's not how it works because there's like a missing piece, the question of why. Why does a dog have allergies? Why does it have chronic diarrhea? Why is it limping? Why? You know, so we have to ask that question.

Dr. Odette Suter is a holistic veterinarian, author, and pet health educator known as the Dr. Poop Lady. Through her work in gut health, chronic disease, and holistic animal care, she helps pet parents understand what may be happening beneath the symptoms and how to support their animals from the inside out.
Dr. Odette Suter 0:37
Animals are helping us on our journey. So a lot of people are switching how they think about things because their animals had something that happened that then shifts how they start looking at things. So animals are such catalysts for change.
Olivia Maher 0:55
Yeah.
Dr. Odette Suter 0:55
The gut is really where a lot of the things go wrong because there's so much inflammation that can happen in the gut. So a lot of the inflammation that animals and humans are experiencing really originates in the gut. So if you have a disruption there, then it just stimulates that immune system of the body so strongly that then the inflammation goes everywhere.

Rudy Mawer 2:00
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Legacy Makers. Sat with Dr. Odette today and we have a shared passion for animals and dogs. And she is an expert veterinarian specializing in gut health. She's created a pretty cool brand for herself. I'm not going to spoil it. I'll let you see if you're on video and she'll tell you all about it. But we're going to dive into her business brand and what she's up to. So welcome to the show.
Dr. Odette Suter 2:24
Well, thank you so much for having me, Rudy. It's such a pleasure.
Rudy Mawer 2:26
For sure. So if they're not on video, because this podcast is audio and video, obviously they're on video, they already see, but tell everyone what you do if they're listening to this.
Dr. Odette Suter 2:36
Yeah, so I'm a holistic veterinarian and I do well because they don't see it. People call me Dr. Poop Lady.
Rudy Mawer 2:44
Dr. Poop Lady, that's quite the name you've given yourself.
Dr. Odette Suter 2:47
Yeah, because a few years ago I started doing fecal transplants on animals with great success and to kind of lighten the mood because poop, you know, kind of just bring like the most, it's a little disgusting. So to lighten the mood, I would just put on my poop hat. So for those of you who are seeing me... there it is it looks great it looks great and uh just to kind of get people into a bit more of a fun mood because again it's disgusting and so i i walk around with my poop hat and people started to call me all kinds of names like dr poop lady um you know shit shit head you know things like that And they would send me all sorts of things as well.
Rudy Mawer 3:31
When people are listening, what does it mean to specialize in dog poop or gut health for a dog? How's that and why is that important for the dog?
Dr. Odette Suter 3:41
Well, research has shown now that the gut is really where a lot of the things go wrong because there's so much inflammation that can happen in the gut. Because if we have a faulty microbiome, you know, an imbalanced microbiome, which is basically the community of microbes that live in the gut.

How does gut inflammation and the microbiome influence chronic disease in pets?

Rudy Mawer 3:57
The bad bacteria versus the good.
Dr. Odette Suter 3:59
Well, yeah, I mean, I don't know that they're really bad. It's more that if you have too many of one, then it becomes a problem. If you have too many of, you know, too little of the others. But in any case, so a lot of the inflammation that animals and humans are experiencing really originates in the gut because of the microbiome imbalance.
