Key Takeaways

• Treat the Whole Animal: Symptoms (e.g., elevated liver enzymes, lipomas, seizures) are clues to an underlying energetic imbalance, not isolated problems. The goal is to rebalance the entire system, not just suppress symptoms.
• Build a Holistic Team: Find a skilled homeopathic, Chinese medicine, or chiropractic vet for deep, constitutional treatment. Use the holisticactions.com/select guide to find practitioners, as a simple Google search is often insufficient.
• Empower Yourself: You are the most important member of your pet’s healthcare team. Track symptoms with the Healthy Animal Journal, learn energy healing, and maintain a positive mindset to support your pet’s well-being.
• Holistic Actions Membership: Provides access to the 101 Course, a member forum, and monthly 15-min Q&A calls with Dr. Chambreau and Dr. Feinman. Dr. Feinman’s virtual homeopathic practice is exclusively for members.

Holistic Philosophy & Symptom Interpretation

• Symptoms are clues to an underlying energetic imbalance, not isolated problems.
• The goal is to rebalance the whole animal, which resolves symptoms.
• Track the “BEAM” (Behavior, Energy, Appetite, Mood) to detect subtle changes and intervene early.
• Maintain a positive mindset (“happy dances”) to support your pet’s healing.

Finding a Holistic Practitioner

• Use the holisticactions.com/select guide to find qualified practitioners.
• A simple Google search or the AHVMA directory may not find the right specialist.
• A practitioner who only offers symptom-based treatments (e.g., melatonin for anxiety) may not be skilled in deep, constitutional care.
• Recommendation: Schedule follow-ups every 2 weeks for serious issues to maintain momentum and prevent deterioration.

Case Studies & Recommendations

• 13-yr-old Mini Goldendoodle (Debbie):
  • Symptoms: Elevated liver enzymes, high cortisol (31), anxiety, weight gain.
