DID YOU KNOW?
CBD works great for arthritis because it is a natural anti-inflammatory. Now keep this in mind: it works just as well with ALL inflammatory conditions, including:
* IBD
* post surgery
* immune mediated disorders
* dermatitis
* pancreatitis
* gastritis/ enteritis

Plants absorb their nutrients through soil. They also absorb toxins. The cannabis plant is one of the strongest around at cleaning out soil… which is great for the environment, bad for ingestion of the product.

Make sure you analyze the COA of any product you give your pet (or yourself)- as long term use of a product filled with algae, pesticides, metals can cause serious harm.

I’m happy to evaluate any product you need. Just send me a message!

INTRODUCING:

WALK to HEAL

Christine and Marissa have teamed up to bring you “Walk to Heal”, our personal fundraising campaign to support the launch of Guardian Heals.

Guardian Heals is a not-for-profit with a simple mission, to “keep people and pets together by helping pet owners who qualify for financial assistance obtain the veterinary care they need for their companion animals and to promote responsible pet ownership through education, especially among children.”
You can learn more about Guardian Heals by clicking here: www.healspets.org
For the month of August, 2021, we invite you to join us in a fitness challenge while raising money for this worthy cause. With just a $25 or more donation to Guardian Heals, you can join us on our challenge via our private page, as we support each other, hold each other accountable, talk about nutrition, and improve our health, while simultaneously helping heal pets. We encourage you to choose a goal- we are striving for 100-150 miles walked in the month- but you can choose what challenges you.
We’ll be encouraging posts of your fitness trackers, pictures of your healthy meals and recipes, and of course snapshots of your furry friends who have inspired you to join us. GVS Heals is aiming for a start up goal of $150,000 by September, so they can start helping clients- and NOT just at GVS- as soon as possible. If you can’t donate and join the challenge- then challenge yourself to sharing the link to this post!

About the Walk to Heal coaches:

Christine has been a Licensed Veterinary Technician with Guardian Veterinary Specialists since January 2018, a month before their doors opened to the public. Guardian has held a special place in her heart with their dedication to helping rescue pets at 50% discount and their “Mission Yes” policy of not turning away any animal in need. Christine has both a degree and a strong work background in business development and fundraising, well before her Guardian days began, so she is extremely excited to now combine the two, using her skills to support her passions once again. She is taking the challenge of 100 miles walked in August and hoping her friends will come along. While sitting on the sideline having a cocktail and a croissant is generally what she prefers, Christine is determined to work hard through team support and perhaps some humorous venting to achieve this challenge.

Marissa is a marathon runner and a Beachbody coach in addition to raising her 2 daughters. She has found a recent love of helping others to achieve their fitness goals through proper nutrition and exercise. Marissa is excited to have her family and friends join her. Marissa is determined to challenge herself and will be striving for 150 miles walked during the month of August. She is eager to get started, and is thrilled to support this cause to help keep pets healthy and safe.

After you donate, at www.healspets.org, send a quick message to us ([email protected]) letting us know so we can officially invite you to the page before the challenge begins- August 1! Thanks for your support! Sharing IS caring!

Why CBD?
CBD works at receptors in all mammals and is often used for seizures and appetite stimulating. Yet there are so many more uses. Just think of something like inflammation. Post-op pain, chronic issues like arthritis, gastrointestinal inflammation like IBD and colitis, dermatitis and ear infections.. the list goes on. Find out how CBD can help- and how to do so safely!

We are seeing phenomenal results with anxiety. Though I generally expect a waiting period before results are achieved, as we slowly increase dosing, I’ve had 3 clients just this week report immediate benefits. Couldn’t be happier!
