Librela was a failed human drug that is now over here, renamed, repackaged as an osteoarthritis pain med. So now dogs die within 12 hours, 24 hours. Get osteoarthritis instead. And people think that the FDA is protecting us and our animals. No. They ain't. And I remember when I lost my soul dog, still not over it. It was worse than losing my mother. And I didn't understand that. It was because that dog was there for me and he gave me unconditional love. Cancer operates through 12 signaling pathways. Medical cannabis has already been proven to interact with eight of them. In 1992, do you want to know who had a patent for medical cannabis as an antioxidant and neuroprotective? The United States government.

Wow.

Angela Ardolino (0:49)

So they know.

Dylan Gemelli (0:49)

They know.

Here's an interesting question. How much do you actually know about the way your everyday habits are supporting how you age? We hear so much about longevity right now. Sleep, protein, strength, training, nutrition, all of these things matter. But there's another layer that doesn't get nearly as much attention as it should. What's happening inside your cells? Your mitochondria produce the cellular energy that your body relies upon every day. And mitochondrial dysfunction, that's considered a central hallmark of aging. And that's why I've been so interested in the work Timeline does with Mitopure. Mitopure is their pure and patented form of Urolithin A. It supports mitochondrial function and cellular renewal by activating mitopogee, your body's natural process for clearing out damaged mitochondria. But rather than just tell you about it, Timeline wants you to think about your own longevity habits. So they've created a longevity quiz that takes just a few minutes, and it looks at some of the everyday habits that can support healthy aging. And the best part? If you complete the quiz, Timeline will send you a free sample of Mitopure Gummies. So take the quiz, learn a little bit more about how you're supporting the way you age, and try Mitopure for yourself. Go to timeline.com/gemelli to take the longevity quiz and get your free gummies. That's timeline.com/gemelli.

All right, everybody, welcome back to the Dylan Gemelli Podcast. I am so excited and amped today and I had a, I was just telling my guest, I had a discussion with my little Gabriella before I left. And if you don't know, which I don't know how you wouldn't by now, she is my, I call her my baby. She's my cat, but she's my baby. And I told her that I was coming here today to do work for her and all her little friends.

Angela Ardolino (2:33)

That's right, I love it.

Dylan Gemelli (2:36)

So I am always on a mission to do God's work and to save as many people as I can. But within that framework, people are not all of God's creation. And my heart and my love have been touched. And I honestly feel as though the prayers that I've had for more compassion were answered with Gabriella and it has given me the innate ability to actually love more.

And I want to touch on you with this because I feel that pure love from animals is far different than from a human. But my guest today is, she is a man, she's one of a kind. We're going to have a blast, but she's a certified cannabis and fungi clinician and she has 20 years, actually more than 20 years of expertise with holistic pet wellness. And anybody that follows me knows I'm all about the holistic. And so we're going to dig deep into the things that she does.

And if you're watching on camera, I have this awesome shirt she gives me, Dare to Keep Pets Off Drugs, which we're going to get into. But she is phenomenal. She has a great podcast, Your Natural Dog, and you've probably seen her if you're into animals at all. So without further ado, thank you for coming to see me, Angela Ardolino.

Angela Ardolino (3:56)

I'm so grateful to be here. Thanks for having me.

Dylan Gemelli (3:58)

Thanks for making this trip. And more than that, thank you for what you do because we need more people like you that are bringing real awareness. It's one thing to say you love animals because a lot of people do, but it's a whole other thing to work in the manner that you are and bringing things to light. So I'm excited to dig into all of this with you.

Angela Ardolino (4:19)

I feel like I'm you, but with animals. Yes, yes. Where when I listened, found you and started to listen to you, I was like, Yep, he and I are going to get along because and that's what's so funny is that people that are into natural health and naturopathic medicine and herbalism and nature and understanding that the body is this very intelligent, knows how to heal, knows how to protect. When I heard you saying all those things, I'm like, it's my favorite way to come to someone like you and go, don't forget our pets.
