In this episode of Healing Tails, Dr. Ruth Roberts welcomes Leah Bookhamer, a clinical nutritionist whose inspiring journey from personal healing to holistic pet care has helped countless pet parents rethink wellness from the inside out. Leah shares how her own health struggles led her to discover the power of foundational nutrition and natural healing—and how those same principles can radically improve the lives of our pets.
Together, Dr. Ruth and Leah dive deep into the importance of detoxification for both humans and animals. They uncover how everyday exposure to toxins, from food, water, air, and even household products, can silently impact pets’ health, leading to issues like allergies, fatigue, and chronic illness. Leah explains how true detox isn’t about quick cleanses or trendy supplements, but rather supporting the body’s natural drainage systems like the liver, kidneys, and gut for long-term vitality.
Leah also introduces her groundbreaking wellness brand, PetAMPLife, designed to help pets detox gently and effectively. Through innovative products such as TICA, Daily Detox, and Longevity, her approach focuses on restoring balance at the cellular level and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal. She and Dr. Ruth discuss how these formulas stand apart from typical “detox in a bottle” products by addressing the root cause of imbalance rather than masking symptoms.
As the episode wraps up, Dr. Ruth and Leah remind listeners that detoxing is not optional, it’s essential in today’s world. Pet parents can make simple yet powerful lifestyle changes like swapping plastic bowls for stainless steel, choosing non-toxic cleaners, and focusing on whole, nutrient-rich foods. Tune in to learn how you can help your pets live longer, healthier, and happier lives by embracing daily detox as a lifestyle, not just a trend.
