Path to Pet Wellness: The Holistic Vet’s Guide to Thriving Pets and Empowered Pet Parents by Jeff Feinman Holisticactions.com/book-waitlist Path to Pet Wellness is an enlightening guide for pet parents seeking a spiritual connection with their beloved animal companions through a “whole-istic” approach to animal care. This informative guidebook introduces pet lovers to the concept that physical symptoms are more than just signs of illness—they are messages from the body, revealing the flow of energy and the deep connection to spirit. By focusing on optimizing BEAM (Behavior, Energy, Appetite, and Mood) and enhancing the overall quality of life, this guide encourages a shift away from limiting beliefs about symptoms, diseases, and diagnoses that often hinder happiness and health. Instead, it advocates for a more conscious, heart-centered approach to pet parenting, integrating the power of love as a healing energy. Path to Pet Wellness is part of the growing movement toward Animal-Centered Treatments (ACT), aiming to restore the spiritual essence to holistic veterinary medicine and empower pet guardians to nurture their animals with deeper awareness and compassion.

How to Sleep Like a Caveman: Ancient Wisdom for a Better Night's Rest―Based on the Evolutionary Science of Sleep from Saber-Toothed Tigers to Modern Insomnia by Merijn van de Laar Amazon.com Sapiens meets Why We Sleep in an evolutionary romp through the science of sleep—and how we can get better rest—by one of the world’s leading sleep scientists. We spend roughly a third of our lives in bed, but for millions of us, not all of that time is spent sleeping. We strive for eight hours per night, only to lie awake thanks to stress, our ever-present devices, a new baby, or that 4pm coffee you thought you needed. As sleep scientist and recovering insomniac Merijn van de Laar shows, we’re hardly the first to experience this. When homo sapiens evolved hundreds of thousands of years ago, when saber-toothed tigers were their biggest nighttime worry, wakefulness served to protect one’s tribe at night. Research shows these episodic sleep patterns even gave our ancestors an evolutionary advantage. We can look to their example for guidance in improving our sleep health, too: how our sleep patterns change as we age, the benefits of communal sleep, the importance of environmental factors such as temperature and light. While our myriad gadgets may distinguish us from early humans, understanding the ways our brains evolved to rest can chart the course toward a better night’s sleep. Drawing from emerging science, archeological research into our ancestors’ habits, and close observation of contemporary hunter-gatherer cultures, How to Sleep Like a Caveman explains everything from why we sometimes jerk awake at night—likely a remnant of having slept in trees—to why our efforts to “optimize” our sleep schedules might just be a fool’s errand. The result is a surprising, accessible new framework for thinking about sleep—the way we were designed to.

This is a story of how one man asked for answers and discovered those answers were not what he expected. If you are willing to challenge your traditions and strengthen your faith, this is for you.About the author Growing up on a farm and working with large animals for most of my life gave me a great deal of insight into the blueprint our Creator used to design our world and mankind. When I began asking questions that no pastor or Rabbi could answer without twisting the Bible out of context I began to read everything I could about where some of these traditions first originated. I soon discovered the answers are already in the Bible if we are willing to put our traditions and man made doctrines aside and actually read what is written. The result is in the books, what has taken years of research and forensic analysis of the Bible may answer some of your questions and raise even more.
