How to Build the Forever Dog

TEDx via YouTube

Overview

Discover insights on extending canine lifespan in this TEDx talk by digital storyteller Rodney Habib. Explore the journey that began with his dog's cancer diagnosis, leading to a global quest for cutting-edge information on canine health. Learn about stress resistance, emotional well-being, calorie restriction, insulin signaling, and the impact of carbohydrates on dog health. Gain knowledge from top scientists and experts like Dr. Richard Patton on topics such as the immune system and exercise. Uncover the "secret formula" for building a "forever dog" and enhancing your pet's longevity and well-being. Note that this talk has been flagged for potentially oversimplifying the discourse on pet lifespan and raw food diets, which are not currently recommended by the FDA and AAHA.
