1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,040
Welcome back, pet parents. 
So today we are talking about 

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:08,240
sound again, which I find so 
fascinating. 

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,840
I actually was recently talking 
to Rita Hogan and we were 

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:17,280
discussing a little bit about 
the impact of classical music on

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,720
us and our pets. 
And there's actually research in

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,280
cancer and other things related 
to classical music and sound. 

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,840
And so I, I'm really excited to 
bring today's guest to you, 

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,280
Doctor Amaya Espindola with 
Felvet. 

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,360
And we are going to be talking a
little bit about sound. 

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,600
But before we do, I want to 
welcome you and thank you so 

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,560
much for being here. 
Thank you for inviting me, it's 

12
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,800
a pleasure. 
Yeah, I well, and one of the 

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,600
things that I really like to do 
because I, it just doesn't 

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,640
happen very often, is kind of 
highlight cats. 

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,840
I get so many people on here, we
talk about dogs a lot and a lot 

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,880
of that translates to cats. 
But to really call out cat 

17
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,400
specific things is something 
that I do like to do as often as

18
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,560
possible. 
I've had cats since literally 

19
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,280
the day I I left home at 8 of 
the day I turned 18. 

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,400
I've had my own cats at least 
one ever since. 

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,000
And as much as I love dogs, I'm 
just, I know like in my heart, 

22
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:27,960
my cats are like my babies. 
And again with the sound thing, 

23
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:31,440
that's just, it's so fascinating
to me. 

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,040
Again, I want to thank you so 
much for being here and bringing

25
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,480
all of your expertise with you. 
But I would love to start out 

26
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,480
just by hearing a little bit 
about how you got started and 

27
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,560
veterinary medicine, and then we
can kind of talk about how 

28
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:52,440
things have evolved since then. 
OK, so the story is it's 

29
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,600
actually a bit funny because I 
was afraid of cats. 

30
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:02,240
And and it's not, it's not just 
that I was afraid of cats. 

31
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,800
It was kind of a cultural thing 
because I've never been attacked

32
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,639
or I was simply allergic. 
And all my family is. 

33
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,440
And simply we had this idea of, 
you know, cats are independent. 

34
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,360
They don't want to be with you. 
They, they are not lovable or, 

35
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,320
you know, we were all dog 
people, right? 

36
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,920
So, and, and actually for my 
mother, the idea of having a pet

37
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:30,000
was such a responsibility that 
she was like very cautious every

38
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,400
time we asked for a pet, you 
know, I was like, yeah, we want 

39
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,880
a dog or we want something. 
And, and yeah, she was like, 

40
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,640
yeah, I know I'll be taking care
of them. 

41
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:41,560
So she was a little bit say like
resistant to have more pets. 

42
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,680
But I mean, when I started, I 
had a dog. 

43
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,000
I had one of my I think was the 
first teacher I had her, her 

44
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,360
name was Sophia. 
I was a mixed breed kind of 

45
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,240
shepherd and Husky dog. 
And she had an issue in her back

46
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,920
and when she turned 14, before 
that, I think she never visit 

47
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:04,280
the vet. 
Those dogs that always eat the 

48
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,280
same food you do, you know, 
those we never fed even any 

49
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,080
ultra process. 
We didn't know anything about 

50
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,800
it. 
But yeah, the same food that we 

51
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,240
had. 
And I met the first vet there, 

52
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:21,080
one of the local vets we had. 
And I saw the way he was, you 

53
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,680
know, he was very open. 
He, he would open a book with 

54
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,040
you and, and discuss it. 
And I thought, this is amazing 

55
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,280
how how he works and how he does
it. 

56
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,760
But in the end, we could not 
find a solution for her. 

57
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,880
So we had, we had to euthanize 
and it was kind of a very bad 

58
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,640
experience in that because it 
was my first connection. 

59
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,240
I had the opportunity to learn 
about what she was going 

60
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,480
through. 
So I said to myself, I want to, 

61
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,760
you know, I want to make sure 
that, you know, we did the right

62
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,760
thing, kind of. 
I liked animals, but at the same

63
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,160
time I was very artistic and I 
liked music. 

64
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,560
So I was kind of a difficult 
decision. 

65
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,320
But in the end you turn out for 
the supposedly to be safe, safer

66
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,120
career. 
No way. 

67
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,120
And you and you go for medicine.
And I said, OK, I started there 

68
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,520
and up until the end of the 
career when I, when we had a 

69
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,279
Class, A specific class with a 
guest coming from Buenos Aires 

70
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,680
to talk about specifically about
cats, I was not convinced to 

71
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,160
work working with cats. 
And after that class, I was 

72
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,480
like, OK, I'm afraid of the 50% 
of the of the animals I'll be 

73
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,040
treating. 
Right. 

74
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,400
They have to do something about 
it. 

75
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,360
So well, I did, went to practice
with him and suddenly things 

76
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,840
started to happen, things that 
were unexpected. 

77
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,640
I ended up practicing for John 
August in College Station in 

78
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,720
Texas A and I ended up in Spain 
working all my all my jobs were 

79
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,680
in feline hospitals. 
So it's kind of the doors open 

80
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,920
up for me. 
After I decided to face the fear

81
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,480
of being with cats, the my 
allergies disappeared. 

82
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,560
I am the only thing my family 
that does does not have 

83
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,800
allergies anymore of cats. 
I was going to ask you about 

84
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,840
that. 
Like what did you do? 

85
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,640
Nothing. 
I just rubbed them because they 

86
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,920
had no other option. 
Then then I learned through 

87
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,880
psychosomatics that allergies 
come from a could be a conscious

88
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,240
or unconscious fear. 
So there is a reaction to the 

89
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,040
from your body to something 
external, right? 

90
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,040
And that can be conscious or 
unconscious. 

91
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,600
So then I learned. 
But when I faced the fear of 

92
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,160
cats and I stopped fear and fear
in them, the allergies 

93
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,440
disappeared just like that. 
I didn't know at the time I 

94
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,120
simply robbed them like this. 
I was like, OK, I need to face 

95
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,120
this. 
I need to do it. 

96
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,480
And that's how I got into, you 
know, the feline world. 

97
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,880
And I became really passionate 
about. 

98
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,840
I had the chance to work in a 
cat cafe in Madrid for seven 

99
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:54,440
years, and I was the responsible
bed. 

100
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,240
I had to deal with 30 cats at 
the same time. 

101
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,760
That was the greatest experience
I had because you can learn a 

102
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,760
lot of things in books. 
You can learn about how to 

103
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,200
handle a cat. 
But when you have 30 cats were 

104
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,480
roaming around and you're 
rescuing 1, you have to bring 

105
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,320
it, You have to accommodate 
them. 

106
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,560
You have to make sure that the 
people visiting the Cat Cafe is 

107
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,280
it's doing well. 
And all the cats, I got the 

108
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:20,800
chance to try holistic therapies
with them. 

109
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,800
It was quite a really good 
moment as a, as a, as a 

110
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,200
development for me. 
That's, that's why it, it 

111
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,120
actually made the difference 
because up until then, I already

112
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,960
had a degree of feline medicine.
I had all those things. 

113
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:40,560
But until you face an aggressive
cat, until you face introducing 

114
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,600
a new cat in the environment, I 
think you don't know anything. 

115
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,520
I mean, you can learn everything
in books. 

116
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,000
So there was one thing I was 
doing at the time and it was 

117
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,200
singing. 
Because when I, when I'm 

118
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,080
nervous, I sing, that's my 
other, my other part, the 

119
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,240
musician was not never left 
alone. 

120
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,120
I mean, I was studying 
veterinary school at school and 

121
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,280
then at the same time I was 
learning music and singing. 

122
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:10,720
So those things were always 
parallel when, when I, when I 

123
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,760
was nervous and I knew my energy
was a bit, you know, when you 

124
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:19,360
find a scared, scared cat, you 
need to relax a lot. 

125
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,040
You need to calm down to, in 
order to try and communicate 

126
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,280
with them. 
So without again, without 

127
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,600
knowing what I was doing, now I 
know, but without knowing, I 

128
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,720
started singing and I start 
seeing the benefits from it. 

129
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,440
But at that time I didn't do 
anything with. 

130
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,800
I was just simply relaxing. 
Oh, I got it. 

131
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,520
Now I can vaccinate now I can, 
you know, that's all I thought 

132
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,560
about and that's how I started. 
How that's how my holistic 

133
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,160
career, everything felt that was
born. 

134
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,480
It was all through those 
experiences, It was all very. 

135
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,360
So it sounds like because one of
the things that I like to talk 

136
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:05,320
to veterinarians about is their 
transition into holistic or 

137
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,520
integrative medicine, because 
most vet schools, at least I 

138
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,680
would imagine, I'm here in the 
US, but I would imagine around 

139
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,520
the world, there isn't a whole 
lot of emphasis, if any at all, 

140
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,040
on natural remedies, on natural 
treatments. 

141
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:26,000
And, you know, considering 
incorporating them into your 

142
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,800
practice. 
So, you know, I heard you say 

143
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,560
that when you were at the Cat 
Cafe, that's kind of where you 

144
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,440
were able to bring in some 
holistic options, which is 

145
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,200
absolutely amazing. 
I love that the you were given 

146
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,919
kind of that freedom to do that.
And I'm just curious as to like 

147
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:45,360
what what some of the things 
were that you start. 

148
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,000
I mean, you know, you were 
singing and that certainly is 

149
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,080
very holistic thing to do, but 
what were some of the things 

150
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,320
that you kind of dabbled in at 
first? 

151
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,560
Well, all as you say, old 
schools are old school, they 

152
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:03,480
don't they don't add anything. 
What I would say it's, I would 

153
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,400
consider a benefit studying in 
like a third world country like 

154
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:13,680
Argentina is that we learn to 
work without resources and in a 

155
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:17,960
way that gives you a holistic 
perspective of things. 

156
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,040
I remember working especially 
with horses that we need to, we 

157
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,400
needed to connect with the horse
in order to get things done 

158
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,000
because we were taught, imagine 
if you don't have anyone around 

159
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,800
helping you out and you have to 
deal with a horse in the middle 

160
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,200
of the field that you have to 
deal with it, right? 

161
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,800
So those things were very 
valuable for me. 

162
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,920
That's one of one of the things 
I really liked about my career, 

163
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,040
the good and the bad, because we
also learned a lot of animal 

164
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,240
production things that were 
horrible for me. 

165
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:51,280
You know, the cow's how you 
know, the meat production, the 

166
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,400
milk, those those were really, 
really difficult for me. 

167
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,760
But in the sense of learning 
without resources, it was one 

168
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,000
thing that when I went to Texas 
A and I saw the benefits of, you

169
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,520
know, having all the technology 
at your side. 

170
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,400
So I kind of was able to touch 
in different worlds. 

171
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:17,040
And this is already a thing that
opens up your mind to, OK, if I 

172
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:22,480
go here, instead of trying to 
push what I know, I adapt to the

173
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,000
next, OK, here we have certain 
technologies. 

174
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,040
The day that fails, I know what 
to do. 

175
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,960
And when I, when I arrived to 
Spain, I met a vet that she was 

176
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,600
already how holistic she was 
doing traditional Chinese 

177
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,640
medicine. 
And at that time we, we became 

178
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,160
very close friends. 
And she was, she was simply just

179
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,680
saying things like, you know, 
homeopathy works like this. 

180
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:47,840
And I remember my brain going, I
understand. 

181
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,200
And, and this is vibration of 
that. 

182
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,560
I was when I met the people at 
the Cat Cafe, they were very 

183
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:56,640
open. 
They already knew about animal 

184
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,840
communication. 
So for me, it was like what, 

185
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,680
where am I? 
What am I doing? 

186
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,280
But again, I adapted into the 
environment of those people 

187
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,480
that, you know, they were doing 
a lot of things. 

188
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,680
And to be honest, the first 
thing that we did was animal 

189
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:14,360
communication. 
My friend would come and do a 

190
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,600
little bit of homeopathy. 
She introduced me to cranial 

191
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,000
sacral. 
Well, she did acupuncture. 

192
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,560
I, I never, I never digged into 
traditional Chinese medicine. 

193
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:30,200
I don't think I I'm aligned to 
that, but I love certain facts 

194
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,080
that traditional Chinese 
medicine has, which I use, such 

195
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,000
as the heat and all those 
things. 

196
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,120
But you know, kind of my mind 
was like bubbling of new things.

197
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,920
And I had 30 cats and they were 
open for me to try everything I 

198
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,240
wanted. 
So that's where I learned so far

199
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,480
my pregnancy talent on Touch 
Backflowers, others, Essence 

200
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,640
Music. 
I was able to try everything 

201
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,480
there because they were open to 
it. 

202
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,840
And actually the owner, she was 
really good communicating. 

203
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,160
So when I learned I was able to 
tap into that as well and 

204
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,400
practice with her, you know, it 
was, it was as I said, it was 

205
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,960
really good experience that 
changed my perspective. 

206
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,000
And also there I met someone 
that came as a commercial. 

207
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:23,080
She was selling a wet food for 
cats and she gave me a book of 

208
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,760
raw diet and she said I sell 
this because it's the closest 

209
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,000
thing to raw because it was a 
really good brand of I don't 

210
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,680
remember the name now. 
And and she said, but you should

211
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:36,520
read to and you should read Ian 
Billinger's and I and I said, 

212
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,280
OK, I will when when I started 
reading, I was like, this has so

213
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,760
much that. 
Bring it. 

214
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,240
Like, yes, yes, that's How I Met
the raw feeding veteran society.

215
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,760
That's how you know, so 
everything started to be aligned

216
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,200
in that job and then the 
pandemic came that closed down 

217
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,280
and I, I said, OK, I have enough
with all the things I've learned

218
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:05,080
during the seven-year period. 
Now it's time to develop velvet 

219
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,680
and start doing it on my own, 
right. 

220
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:11,240
And, and that's how that's how I
I got into things. 

221
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,120
And then after that I started 
perfection in the things that I 

222
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,320
was more aligned to the 
therapies, which is so 

223
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,120
pharmacognacy is one of my 
favourites because it changed 

224
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,000
the way I see animals. 
As a vet, you are taught to 

225
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,480
interpret the symptoms and make 
decisions for them. 

226
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,160
But when you are faced with two 
pharmacognacy and you allowed 

227
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,600
them to tell you how they feel, 
you add that with a little bit 

228
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,080
of communication or you add that
with a bit of talent and touch, 

229
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,440
and you allow them to be the 
owners of their own bodies. 

230
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,640
Like we should be doing as well 
with our own health. 

231
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,720
That changed the perspective of 
how I treat animals completely. 

232
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,800
It was not only as a zoo farmer 
cognosy thing. 

233
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,880
It was, OK, I'm going to give 
you this antibiotic. 

234
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,320
If the cat doesn't want to take 
it, I have to think, rethink the

235
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,840
whole thing. 
Maybe I'm making a mistake, you 

236
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,160
know? 
And that was really powerful for

237
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,160
me. 
There are a lot of things in 

238
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,760
there I want to touch on. 
I definitely want to talk a 

239
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,480
little bit more about C pharma 
cognosy and then the idea of 

240
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,120
when you say, you know, I can 
prescribe an antibiotic to a 

241
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,320
cat, but if they don't want to 
take it, then what do we do? 

242
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,240
Right? 
Like so the idea of working with

243
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,280
cats is, in my opinion, very 
different from working with 

244
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,960
dogs. 
But before we jump into that, I 

245
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:37,240
kind of wanted go back a minute 
to what you said about being 

246
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:43,720
more open to holistic natural 
options in a third world country

247
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,280
because you don't have the 
resources. 

248
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,680
That hit me, that really touched
me when you said that because 

249
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,920
living in the United States, 
I've always, I mean, I've 

250
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,160
traveled a little bit outside of
the country, but not a whole 

251
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,840
lot. 
And so somebody who has grown up

252
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:04,280
here, who has let's just 
basically say never left, I know

253
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,880
like in our culture, in our 
society today especially like we

254
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,520
really, I think things are 
starting to change a little bit 

255
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:17,360
in our climate. 
But we really for so long have 

256
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,880
looked at people who try to do 
things the natural way, who want

257
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,120
to eat right, take care of their
body. 

258
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:30,320
Like they, these people have 
really been looked at as 

259
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,880
outsiders, as almost bougie 
because like, oh, you're so 

260
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,480
extra for wanting to, you know, 
like take care of yourself in 

261
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,480
that way. 
And I know that, like, to me 

262
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,640
that just sounds so weird. 
But also we live and, and I 

263
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,160
don't know where it is where you
are, but here when we want to 

264
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,920
buy food that isn't sprayed with
glyphosate, when we want to buy 

265
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,280
meat that was raised 
regeneratively, we pay dearly 

266
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,800
for it. 
Like you can spend a few dollars

267
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,680
and have a meal and it is full 
of herbicides and pesticides. 

268
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,760
It is full of if you get real 
animal product in it, which you 

269
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,320
may not, but if you do, that 
animal did not eat a species 

270
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,880
appropriate, like it's also 
inflammatory, full of chemicals.

271
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:22,080
And if you want to actually care
for your body and return to 

272
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:27,000
nature as much as possible and 
eat right and all of it like you

273
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,720
do, you spend an arm and a leg. 
And so it's really looked at, 

274
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,720
even though like, like you said 
it in in another country, 

275
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,680
especially like a third world 
country, you don't have the 

276
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,520
resources. 
So you do look to nature. 

277
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,520
And so like there's just this 
huge. 

278
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,640
It's, it's just so it's like 
180° to me, but I get it and I 

279
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,840
see it. 
But I wanted to acknowledge that

280
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,520
because I feel like so many 
people listening probably feel 

281
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,520
that way too. 
And I'm not sure if it's like 

282
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,760
that, like what I described. 
I'm not sure if it's like that 

283
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,760
where you are, but it's just 
it's, it's like you're looked at

284
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,599
as an oddball for wanting to 
care for yourself. 

285
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:11,440
Well, for example, one of the 
things that shook me when I 

286
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:16,720
moved to Spain was that we have 
in Argentina, we have very good 

287
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,079
quality what we used to because 
you know, we tend to, we tried 

288
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:24,319
to get into the first world 
country things that we do, we 

289
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:27,880
start doing things wrong. 
Extensive meat protection was 

290
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,680
very common. 
So you know, it was fairly 

291
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,080
common to see cows roaming 
around and that's what now it's 

292
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,640
all full of soy, which that's 
the economic issue that now we 

293
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,040
have. 
But before you, you could get 

294
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,360
without having to buy organic or
grass fed, grass fed was 

295
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:48,800
something common, right? 
So it was, it was something that

296
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,920
you could buy in any, any 
butcher, butcher store. 

297
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,000
And but then, you know, now, now
it's changing and now it's not 

298
00:17:56,120 --> 00:18:01,160
as good as you could find. 
Spain and Europe in general, I 

299
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:06,080
would say we have really, well, 
not really good about better, 

300
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,000
better organizations. 
You can find for example here in

301
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,920
Mallorca, there is a consumers 
group so you can fight find 

302
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,400
local products. 
You pay a fortune for them 

303
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,040
unless you know you find buy 
directly to the person. 

304
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,600
But once it you have the 
supermarket in between or 

305
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,360
something else, you're, you're 
paying a lot of money for it. 

306
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:29,240
For example, olive oil, which is
one of the most common things in

307
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:34,440
Spain, it's really expensive. 
Wow, it is it is something that 

308
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,640
because in order to find a good 
olive oil that is extra virgin 

309
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,440
with, you know, first extrusion 
and you know, without any heat 

310
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:47,800
without any any additives or 
anything, you pay that a lot of 

311
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,560
money for it. 
They call it the the golden, the

312
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,160
golden liquid or something like 
that because how much the price 

313
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,600
increase. 
So we, we still have those 

314
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,040
issues. 
But it's true. 

315
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,480
I have my sister living in 
Houston and, and family all in 

316
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:07,960
Texas and they, they struggle a 
lot to find and they pay much 

317
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,840
more money for organic foods or 
it's difficult to find. 

318
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,440
Actually, my, my uncle has his 
own garden because he likes to 

319
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:22,360
look into details and he's like 
an odd, but like you say, but 

320
00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:26,200
it's because of this, it's 
difficult to, to find well in 

321
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,720
animal feed. 
It's well, it's bought in 

322
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,280
Argentina as well. 
The the cable that you find. 

323
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,960
Mostly it's is the big brands. 
And in Europe we have the 

324
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,480
alternative of the grain free. 
There is a lot of grain free or 

325
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,480
better or premium or anything. 
But still it's all ultra 

326
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,840
process. 
But when I look at the some of 

327
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,960
the products in the US, I really
need to like look into very 

328
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,400
deep, very deep, very thoroughly
to find, to make sure that that 

329
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,600
food is good. 
And this is this is something 

330
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,560
that concerns me a lot. 
Yeah, it me too, believe me. 

331
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,360
Oh my goodness. 
Well, I just, I think that we 

332
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:08,720
definitely see our pets are 
suffering there. 

333
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,160
There's no ifs, ands or buts 
about it. 

334
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,600
Like our pets are suffering and 
we are too. 

335
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,000
We just. 
I think we see it quicker in our

336
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,960
pets because they have a shorter
lifespan, they're smaller, they 

337
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,080
can't handle the amount of 
toxins that we can. 

338
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:26,400
Like, it's, there's so much to 
it. 

339
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,280
But yeah, I, I kind of want to 
bring things back around to cats

340
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,280
a little bit because they are, 
and I know I've talked about 

341
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,880
this so many times on the 
podcast, they are the most toxic

342
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,160
animals on the planet, I believe
is the correct way of saying it.

343
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,360
And I think that there are a lot
of reasons for that, especially 

344
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:48,920
here in the US. 
They pretty much don't ever get 

345
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,640
to go outside. 
So they're not touching healthy 

346
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,040
soil. 
They're not off gassing or so 

347
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,640
like so much smaller than us or 
even our dogs. 

348
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,680
And their paw pads absorb like 
everything. 

349
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,520
So whatever is in that cat 
litter, just because, you know, 

350
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,800
cats do ingest it because they 
clean themselves, but they're 

351
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,200
also getting all of like if it's
scented or fragranced or 

352
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,680
whatever, like it's all being 
absorbed in their paw pads. 

353
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,400
Whatever chemicals we're using 
to clean our homes and they're 

354
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,520
walking on those surfaces. 
There's so much in our 

355
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,280
environment that is so 
detrimental to them before we 

356
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,760
even start talking about food or
vaccines or, you know, 

357
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,080
neurotoxic chemicals that we put
on them to kill fleas and like 

358
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,680
whatever we're doing, they are 
some of the most toxic animals 

359
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,520
on the planet. 
Maybe they talk most toxic 

360
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,040
animals on the planet. 
And it is so sad because to me, 

361
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:47,960
and I've I've talked about this 
with animal communicators that 

362
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,480
I've had on in the past. 
I believe that our cats or our 

363
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,160
cats and our dogs, I think are 
both absolutely incredible, 

364
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,240
wonderful, wonderful creatures 
that I think humans need. 

365
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,400
We we need them in our lives. 
I truly believe that, but in a 

366
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,640
different way. 
And I think cats are very 

367
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,440
spiritual creatures. 
I think cats protect us in more 

368
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:15,080
spiritual levels. 
And I do wonder so much about, I

369
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,600
know for us here in the States, 
we have fluoride in our water 

370
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,640
and that calcifies the pineal 
gland. 

371
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,080
We are not connected to nature. 
I think that's one of the 

372
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,640
biggest reasons why we're not 
like we don't seek connection to

373
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,720
nature anymore. 
And I just wonder, like, are we 

374
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,160
doing the same things to our 
cats when I I feel like they're 

375
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,240
supposed to be such spiritual 
creature. 

376
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:41,680
What do you think about that? 
Well, I do agree there are 

377
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,120
actually I was trying to find 
since there is a lot of local 

378
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,640
producers here are artisans that
work with wool and wool is one 

379
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,760
of the most natural fit 
products. 

380
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,520
And actually it's it's not used,
it's not properly. 

381
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,760
They use it, they trash it, they
don't use it. 

382
00:22:57,120 --> 00:22:59,720
Wow. 
And it's free and you have to. 

383
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,600
I've been, that's why I started 
doing toys for cats with wool 

384
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,160
because wool is one of the most 
natural products you can get. 

385
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,880
Before you treat it, of course 
you has to be plain and cool. 

386
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:18,480
But not only we have the toxins 
of the cleaning products that we

387
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:23,160
have or the fabrics which our 
couches are made, because most 

388
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:28,320
couches have that. 
It's a product they put to avoid

389
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,040
ignition. 
Yeah, there's like fire 

390
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,320
retardants, but there's also 
like stain guards. 

391
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,200
And so, yeah, they do a lot of 
different things. 

392
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,880
They do and most of them are 
plastic or contain a lot of 

393
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,880
plastic, so that's one thing. 
Then you have all the sense that

394
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,320
when I, when I started having 
cats and I decided to remove and

395
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,080
use only natural scents and 
things like that, everything is 

396
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,240
scented. 
Once you realize that when you, 

397
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,720
when you're going to wash your, 
your clothes, when you're going 

398
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:03,600
to do any, everything is over. 
My, my, my sense of smell is so,

399
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,240
so sensitive now because I 
removed all those things. 

400
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:13,280
Then you have the electricity, 
the radiation where the water, 

401
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,280
you know where or the, the, the,
the water runs around your 

402
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,240
house, the electricity and the 
radiation from the Wi-Fi. 

403
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,760
So there's no scape. 
I mean, there is a lot even if 

404
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,800
you if they want to get the 
sunlight in through the windows,

405
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,680
they don't get the benefit from 
the real sunlight that they 

406
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,880
would get outside. 
So, so cats are a very powerful 

407
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,760
machine, as you say. 
I do also believe they protect 

408
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,400
the spiritual world and as dogs 
are more physical and they they 

409
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,120
they, they share with you like a
journey of I get more physical 

410
00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:52,800
journey of you being connected 
to her that they take you 

411
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,040
outside. 
I think cats take you inwards. 

412
00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:02,400
And and if you see how we 
evolved with cats, they were 

413
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,480
always a symbolic thing. 
You know, you loved it, you 

414
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,480
hated it. 
They were associated with all 

415
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,080
religious things. 
They were associated with 

416
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,760
symbolism, symbol of wealth as 
well with women. 

417
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,840
But on the other hand, dogs 
allowed us to survive because we

418
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,840
were able to sit down, cultivate
and have groups and tribes and 

419
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,640
because you we had the 
protection of dogs. 

420
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,520
So it's a completely different 
evolution. 

421
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,920
So it's understandable as well. 
All the myths surrounding cats. 

422
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,440
It is normal to have culturally 
develop these fears of this 

423
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,920
respect because, you know, it's 
a symbol. 

424
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,560
You never got the chance to 
actually connect with them. 

425
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:49,960
And I can tell, I can see that 
it's fearful because they they 

426
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,360
push you to look inwards and 
not, not all people want to do 

427
00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:57,600
that. 
So it's really hard. 

428
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,280
And when you when you start 
doing that and you realize that 

429
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,600
your home is a hazard. 
Yeah, everywhere. 

430
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,920
Very much so. 
It's very difficult because you 

431
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,480
cannot sometimes you were 
renting, you cannot do a 

432
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,040
sanctuary everywhere you go or 
you cannot change and vibrate 

433
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,480
really high frequencies to to 
get it done. 

434
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,000
So it's really difficult. 
I used to believe that cats 

435
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,800
were, well, indoor. 
And now, now I don't what are we

436
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,000
doing or whether we move to the 
countryside and leave it 

437
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,280
connected to nature. 
And then we have cats. 

438
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,600
And that would be the perfect 
life for me, for them. 

439
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,760
But at the same time, if you see
the situation, at least here in,

440
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,160
in Spain, you will see that 
there's a lot of predators. 

441
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,440
You know, we not only ruin the 
indoor life with all the 

442
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,920
technologies and all the things 
we do, but outside the outside 

443
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:58,080
world is actually very dangerous
because there are no ecosystems,

444
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,920
you know, And so we blame them 
to be the very, very high. 

445
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:07,000
How do you say this? 
They kill the the phone around 

446
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,360
they, they, and for fun, you 
know. 

447
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:12,080
Sometimes they kill our birds. 
Yeah, people don't like that 

448
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,400
they kill the birds. 
But, and I think, yeah, I think 

449
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:22,240
other wildlife is honestly the 
least of our concerns when it 

450
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,680
comes to cats. 
Like, yes, there are wolves, 

451
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,920
there are coyotes, there are 
mountain lions. 

452
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:33,400
There are like, there are 
certainly risks in the world for

453
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,560
cats in general, but I think 
humans are the biggest threat to

454
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,800
cats living outside with, you 
know, our neighborhoods, with 

455
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,520
traffic, with. 
With the kids playing with 

456
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,600
stones and throwing at the cats.
Yeah, like it's just and and 

457
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,000
then we don't want them living 
behind shopping center, you 

458
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,280
know, I mean, there's, I think 
humans are the biggest, biggest 

459
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,600
cats living outdoors. 
But at the same time, since we, 

460
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:03,920
we destroyed the ecosystem and 
we don't have that variety that 

461
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,480
it's needed, we, we bring more 
diseases. 

462
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:13,480
So if they, if a cat feeds on, 
on a migratory bird or if they 

463
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,920
have, you know, a rat, even you 
don't know if somebody else 

464
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,760
actually put a poison on that, 
on that rat. 

465
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:25,200
So there are there are many, 
many risks outside that. 

466
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,120
Of course, there are a whole 
human caused, but there are some

467
00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:31,080
risks because of it. 
And when they say that they are 

468
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,440
predators and they kill a lot of
birds a year, they are 

469
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:40,680
forgetting that indoor there's 
no excitement, there's not the 

470
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:45,840
right food, there is no nothing.
Because if you see a lot of 

471
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,720
because well, I have in front of
my house, I have like a space 

472
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,400
with like 10 cats and they don't
they don't take more than they 

473
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,760
need. 
They use, they know how to use 

474
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,720
the enough resources that they 
need and that's it. 

475
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:05,080
And they reproduce accordingly 
to the resources that they have.

476
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,600
We're trying to control because 
we make, we are making it wrong.

477
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,400
We are making the wrong outside 
and inside and our solutions. 

478
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,080
I do believe that this is the 
only solution we have at the 

479
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,600
moment. 
Like for example, the capture, 

480
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,840
neutering and release, those are
solutions for me are temporary 

481
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,800
solutions. 
We have this issue. 

482
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:34,120
We destroyed ecosystems. 
We have to acknowledge that we 

483
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,200
have this solution at the 
moment, but there is we had to 

484
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,800
have another plan for the 
future, let's say for 20 years. 

485
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,800
I don't it doesn't matter. 
But we need to look into other 

486
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:50,800
ways to restore those ecosystems
so we don't have to turn into 

487
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,760
these things. 
So I believe cats have like 

488
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,240
this. 
They are misinterpret, they are 

489
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,640
not understood. 
They and we tend to blame loads 

490
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,320
of things on them. 
And yes, they are the most 

491
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,320
toxic. 
And yeah, poor cats. 

492
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,600
I know, I know. 
Well, and to go back to what you

493
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,840
were talking about, it sounds 
like a better way to treat cats 

494
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,080
because they are, in my opinion,
and I know Jay and Adrian 

495
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,160
always, every time I say this, 
they're like, how dare you. 

496
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,160
But I I say it because I believe
it's true. 

497
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:30,440
And I feel like it is more 
difficult to raise a cat than a 

498
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,200
dog. 
And they both have their 

499
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:39,040
challenges, But for a cat, I 
just feel like they it, it's 

500
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,760
trying to force anything on them
is so much more difficult. 

501
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:49,960
So a dog you can hide a pill and
you know, a piece of meat or 

502
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,160
syringe something into their 
mouths. 

503
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,000
You can, you know, they'll sit 
there and let you trim their 

504
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,600
nails even if they don't like 
it. 

505
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:03,480
Like you can work around things 
with dogs, with cats, you really

506
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:08,160
they, they need to trust you. 
And even when they do, there's 

507
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,760
not a good chance you're going 
to get cooperation from them for

508
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,600
anything. 
So the idea I would like for you

509
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,040
to explain a little bit more 
about what Sue Pharmacognosy is 

510
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:22,480
and how you utilize that. 
OK, well I'm going to. 

511
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:31,440
I'm going to agree with Jason 
because every time I have to 

512
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,400
treat a dog because sometimes I 
get friends that ask me 

513
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,800
questions or for me they are not
that easy. 

514
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,440
I experienced, actually the best
experience I had, it was with 

515
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,240
pit bulls that, you know, we 
surprised, but they're very good

516
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,640
patients. 
They're they're amazing ones. 

517
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,240
Yeah. 
And with cats, what I learned 

518
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,480
is, is that what I said before 
about the energy that you have? 

519
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:04,280
And it's not about, of course, 
dogs have this service 

520
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,800
motivation that the, you know, 
they, they always going to try 

521
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,680
to please you. 
And cats don't, they don't have 

522
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,480
that. 
So that is why you may find it 

523
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:17,920
easier to deal with them. 
But there is a way with cats, if

524
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,840
you not only they learn to trust
you, but you learn to control 

525
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:27,920
yourself and forget about 
expectations, what they actually

526
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,440
want from you and what makes 
them feel safe. 

527
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,560
It's you being 100% in the 
present. 

528
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,080
That's how you manage. 
Because I my cat, not the one 

529
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,160
that's probably going to walk 
away in a moment, but she's 

530
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,760
right here. 
My other cat was aggressive. 

531
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,840
There was a reactive and a very 
aggressive. 

532
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,560
And yes, I started with a towel 
going around and throwing, 

533
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,600
trying to trim the nails like 
that. 

534
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:59,440
But with work, with a lot of 
work nowadays, I call him with a

535
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,120
treat. 
I cut. 

536
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:07,040
So I cut one hand and then he 
goes and I said OK. 

537
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,120
We stop and then I give him a 
treat. 

538
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,200
I distract him and I said OK. 
But I'm not. 

539
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,440
I'm not even trying to please 
him at all. 

540
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,440
I'm just trying him to forget, 
calm down, just the information.

541
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,160
Nothing happened. 
I'm alive, everything is fine. 

542
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,400
And then I go back. 
I grab him and say OK the other 

543
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:28,240
hand. 
Come on. 

544
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,040
And then again. 
And I did that with pills. 

545
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,040
I can syringe, I can give 
anything. 

546
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,960
Every time he tries, he tries to
avoid, he runs away a little 

547
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,800
bit. 
And then he said, OK, she's 

548
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,720
going to get me. 
Right. 

549
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:50,480
Yeah. 
But all of this came with a lot 

550
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,240
of work, and when I'm thinking 
about it, I'm not already 

551
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,160
thinking that it's going to be 
difficult. 

552
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,200
I've learned to be totally in 
the present. 

553
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,120
Totally. 
I'm not thinking about anything 

554
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,600
else that you're going to take 
this and if you don't, then if 

555
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,120
you don't, I'll think about it, 
why you didn't want this. 

556
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,280
But at that time I'm just 
thinking on that and that that's

557
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,040
what made it made it easier for 
me. 

558
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,400
Talking about the pharmacognacy,
which is the the ability animals

559
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,280
have to self medicate. 
You can offer them. 

560
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,400
That's a really good way to 
offer nature for indoor cats. 

561
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,280
You can allow them to release 
certain things. 

562
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,239
There she goes. 
You allow them to to touch into 

563
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,400
those medicines and and tell you
how they are feeling 

564
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,400
emotionally, physically, if 
there is something going on, you

565
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,760
know, because even even they can
choose things that they are 

566
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:52,199
potentially toxic for them. 
But if they are choosing them, 

567
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,520
it's something in there that 
they need. 

568
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,400
Yeah, most people would would 
get confused and say, oh, yeah, 

569
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,840
but my cat eats any plant, 
right? 

570
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,560
And he goes around and he's 
eating this plant and that 

571
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,000
planted. 
He's not selecting anything. 

572
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,400
So when I started asking about 
what plants do they have? 

573
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:17,280
And this, this happened to me 
once they have a bonsai of a 

574
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:21,840
it's a plan I can remember now. 
It's, it's a plan used for 

575
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,720
arthritis. 
It's a tree. 

576
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:26,600
It's a tree that it's used for 
arthritis. 

577
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,600
And she told me, she told me 
that, that what the bonsai was. 

578
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:36,280
And I said to, to her, well, we 
need to look into arthritis 

579
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,040
plans, plans for treating 
arthritis. 

580
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,840
And he selected three of them. 
Wow. 

581
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:46,440
So once we started treating the 
arthritis, he stopped eating the

582
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,400
bonsai. 
Wow. 

583
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,760
I saw this for example, cats 
with digestive issues that you 

584
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,200
will see that they will take 
plastic or they will, they will 

585
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:01,400
choose to chew on well most 
plastic have a little bit of 

586
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,080
potato starch, you know, so 
sometimes it's not what they 

587
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:07,920
they are looking for. 
But some other cats will eat 

588
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,480
bread commercial and very ultra 
processed bread. 

589
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:17,400
So if you have that, you may 
need to look into the digestive 

590
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:18,960
system. 
There's something going on 

591
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,960
because that's not normal for 
them. 

592
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,920
And when you start eating them, 
they will stop eating the bread 

593
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,040
and so on. 
So you can, you can just simply 

594
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:33,080
go and say, OK, I can use 
valerian root catnip or any 

595
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,440
normal herbs around. 
You can use cat gardens. 

596
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,680
There are around some people 
that do this, you can 

597
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,160
individualize and do a session 
for them. 

598
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,480
I used to do that for behavioral
problems. 

599
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,280
And most of the times I, I was 
surprised of the result. 

600
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,400
I, I was expected, you know, you
kind of put your expectation and

601
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,160
said this is the problem. 
So I'm going to select this and 

602
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,040
suddenly they can't choose 
something completely different, 

603
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:01,720
right? 
So it's kind of a really nice 

604
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:04,400
experience. 
You allowed them to release a 

605
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,800
little bit to do the grounding 
that they are not allowed to do 

606
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,880
because they live indoor. 
Cats that have access to the 

607
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,800
outside usually won't select as 
much. 

608
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,840
Sometimes you need to tap into 
essential oils because they 

609
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:23,120
already have the dry herbs or 
the plants or anything outside. 

610
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,240
So it's not the same experience 
for all. 

611
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:30,520
And if you've tried already a 
garden, you bought it and then 

612
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:35,400
the cat's not selecting 
anything, then even that is an 

613
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,160
answer of why it's not 
selecting. 

614
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,400
It's not selecting because it's 
not sending anything. 

615
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,680
He's doesn't doesn't want to. 
He's anxious of other things. 

616
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,600
Are you doing it with another 
cat? 

617
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:50,840
So everything, once you put 
nature for them, if they are not

618
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,680
selecting things, they are 
disconnected. 

619
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,760
So you need. 
So everything you do with the 

620
00:37:55,760 --> 00:38:02,760
pharmacognosy allows you to have
a broader spectrum of what what 

621
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,320
the problems might be. 
And This is why I loved it so 

622
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,320
much. 
It's so fascinating to me and I,

623
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,240
I never implemented it until the
first time I spoke with Rita 

624
00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:15,400
Hogan, who was a canine 
herbalist. 

625
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,080
And it really is so incredibly 
interesting. 

626
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,480
And I did notice what you said 
about being disconnected, like 

627
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,320
that's kind of how I felt my dog
was. 

628
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,200
I feel like my cats are better 
at selecting and I and I and I 

629
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,440
felt like my dog was less so. 
So we've been working on that. 

630
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,280
But it is very, very 
interesting. 

631
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:38,120
But I want to switch gears a 
little bit and go back to the 

632
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:43,400
beginning where we were talking 
about sound, because I know 

633
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,720
you've mentioned that music is 
your other passion. 

634
00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:49,520
Your cat behind you is just 
adorable. 

635
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,160
Your other passion is music. 
And I know that you have put out

636
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:58,080
some lullabies that people can 
purchase that are specifically 

637
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,360
created for cats. 
And I would just love to hear a 

638
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,840
little bit about how you use 
sound therapy in your practice 

639
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,440
and how you created what these 
lullabies are for. 

640
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,680
OK, this is something very new. 
Actually. 

641
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,280
They are not yet recorded. 
We are, I have three of them and

642
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:22,320
but my goal is to teach, to 
teach people how to use their 

643
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:28,520
voice in a way that it's 
relaxing for, for their cats. 

644
00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:33,680
And the best way to do it is 
through lullabies because it's 

645
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,280
something that it's already in 
our systems. 

646
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,960
We and when I say lullaby, it 
doesn't have to be a song to 

647
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,520
rest or sleep or you know, it's 
not that the point. 

648
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:48,520
The point of lullabies is that 
it connects you to your yourself

649
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,960
when you were a baby and your 
mother will sing to you in a 

650
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:58,640
repetitive way in a certain tone
and it had a frequency and it 

651
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,920
becomes kind of a language, a 
universal language that can be 

652
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,240
transmitted to a baby. 
Does it that it hasn't developed

653
00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:09,120
language yet, but still the baby
connects to it. 

654
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,640
So it doesn't make any 
difference if that baby is a 

655
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,560
cat. 
Actually, you can do it with 

656
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,160
dogs as well. 
So the important thing is how 

657
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,840
you do it. 
What I'm doing now is to record 

658
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:27,280
this three lullaby, which 
contains certain words that 

659
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,040
empower you because you are the 
only one who is going to 

660
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,920
understand. 
But the idea is for you to 

661
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,880
connect with those words, to 
connect repeatedly and create 

662
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,160
that bond with your cat by using
them. 

663
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:45,760
It's kind of like a mantra, but 
for me, mantras are very it's, 

664
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,160
it's part of, I respect them so 
much. 

665
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,760
I believe that they are made for
specific purposes. 

666
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:57,320
So if you are very aligned to 
that and you like to sing 

667
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,320
mantras, great that you can use 
mantras because it's the same 

668
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,720
process. 
But I think for everybody, 

669
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,440
that's my goal, that every 
single cat or dog parent, they 

670
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:14,000
should tap into what they listen
as as a kid, as a baby, to 

671
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,040
connect now with their pets. 
And there's a lot of scientific 

672
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:23,880
research on how lullabies should
be, how they create this safe 

673
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,840
space, how the nervous system 
develops. 

674
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,920
And this is aligned to immune 
immunity. 

675
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:35,000
And it helps to relax, it helps 
to adapt to environment much 

676
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,960
better. 
So imagine if you rescue cats, 

677
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:42,800
that will be something really 
good to do because you're going 

678
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,000
to become the mother, right? 
So instead of becoming those 

679
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,400
worried mothers, mothers that 
we, we are, you know, like, are 

680
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,120
you doing this? 
I always, and I am one of those 

681
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,560
because when I work, when I work
with cats and I was, you know, 

682
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,760
you get desperate when things go
wrong. 

683
00:42:01,240 --> 00:42:04,880
So if you get into this, it's a 
very simple exercise. 

684
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,200
So what I'm offering at the 
moment is teach you how to use 

685
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,720
your voice properly, how to 
connect and how to create that 

686
00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:15,760
space. 
So when my lullabies are finally

687
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:20,640
out, you can get and sing them 
or you can sing anything in your

688
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,880
own native language that you 
remember, right? 

689
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,120
That's another option. 
But the important thing is how 

690
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,120
to be present and how to do it. 
And that's that's what I'm 

691
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,160
teaching because that's what 
I've learned as a singer, how to

692
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,680
how to do that, how to breathe 
properly. 

693
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,280
And it's going to also improve 
your life because if you speak 

694
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:44,200
better, if you you're heard 
because your voice is out there,

695
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,600
you're going to have better 
relationships as well. 

696
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,520
This is kind of a benefit to all
of us. 

697
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,960
And that's one of the things 
then sound therapy, as you say, 

698
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:57,760
before the classical music, 
classical music has a lot of 

699
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:02,280
effects, positive effects of and
and it's and if you look at the 

700
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,880
had the special, how do you call
the music sheet, right? 

701
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,600
If you look at the classical 
music, it's not jazz. 

702
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,320
It doesn't have all the 
craziness that we developed over

703
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,480
the modern music. 
It's very specific and it 

704
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,960
contains certain things are 
accepted and some others that 

705
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,880
don't that are not. 
So the same structure applies. 

706
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:33,520
But then there was David Day 
that decided to add to that 

707
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:38,960
classical music a little bit of 
the sounds that the animal is 

708
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,880
accustomed to. 
So for example, he developed 

709
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,360
music for cats. 
He's a cellist and he he did 

710
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:50,320
music for cats where he added 
the the suckling, the purring 

711
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:54,680
and everything that a baby hears
when they are near the mother 

712
00:43:55,160 --> 00:44:00,520
and added it to classical music.
And he got much better results 

713
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,440
from it. 
So he said he started with this 

714
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,560
new concept of species 
appropriate music. 

715
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,320
Wow. 
Yeah. 

716
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,080
And so I use that as well. 
So if I want to combine it. 

717
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,160
And then you have bioacoustics 
as well, which is the sound of 

718
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:21,040
nature. 
When you walk around in nature, 

719
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,960
you have certain sounds, maybe 
you are not aware of them, but 

720
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:28,480
those sounds are working on you 
and then you feel refreshed, you

721
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,040
feel better. 
There is one, at least I know 

722
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,880
one in Spain doing it. 
It's called Sound and Life. 

723
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:39,680
And she does apply bioacoustics,
which she goes around the world,

724
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,320
records things in a specific 
time and place. 

725
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,000
She measures the frequencies of 
it and tells you what? 

726
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,920
What are they good for? 
I had seen, oh, I wish I could 

727
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,320
find, I haven't seen it in a 
while because you know how 

728
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,440
social media algorithms go, 
they're always changing. 

729
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,920
But I used to see, I think it 
was on TikTok. 

730
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,040
There was somebody, I'm sure 
there are more, but there was 

731
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,560
somebody. 
They have like device where they

732
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,560
click one, They're two different
clips that you can clip to like 

733
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,320
a plant or something and then 
you can hear the frequency of 

734
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:16,320
that plant and how different 
they all are. 

735
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,680
It's amazing. 
It's also very calming and 

736
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,080
soothing and I'm like, this is 
just incredible. 

737
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,360
Yeah, and they play with with 
fruits, they touch with fruits 

738
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:31,000
and they play music with it. 
And yeah, those are a bit. 

739
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,960
The only problem with those is 
that the sound they create is a.

740
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,840
It's too meaty. 
So it's a sound that is a bit 

741
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,480
artificial, though it's a 
frequency and and it's all that.

742
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,480
It's tapping into different 
electric fields around. 

743
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,720
So it creates a sound from it, 
but it's a bit artificial. 

744
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,080
The best is to go to nature and 
measure those frequencies. 

745
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,760
Those are the best you can use. 
Actually, later this couple of 

746
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:02,640
weeks, I've been using one of 
the sounds just because I had 

747
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,520
trouble sleeping for a few days 
and I decided to put the sounds 

748
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:11,040
and not only slept better, a lot
better, but I had like this 

749
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:15,040
feeling this. 
I woke up very well, you know, 

750
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:20,840
like not only rested but also 
happy, you know, content and and

751
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,080
I looked at because I chose it 
just, you know, before I go to 

752
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:28,080
sleep, I have like several 
sounds from her and I chose one 

753
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,760
that it's ocean. 
It's an ocean in a specific 

754
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,440
place. 
I don't remember exactly where, 

755
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:37,160
but she has different water 
sounds and you have to play them

756
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:41,040
very in a very low volume. 
Some of them are to be applied 

757
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,600
topically for, for example, 
arthritis or pain. 

758
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,520
You have others because 
sometimes you listen to certain 

759
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,560
sounds and you feel 
uncomfortable and if that you 

760
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,800
have to remove it. 
So it has a really powerful 

761
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,160
effect for you. 
And then she has a lot. 

762
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,320
And now I'm trying to help her 
to translate things because I 

763
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:05,400
want her to reach first because 
she has a very interesting work.

764
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:10,280
So my participation in all this 
sound therapy and all the things

765
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,920
I've been trying, I've been 
trying also singing and I went 

766
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:18,240
to gong bounced baths, but every
time I tried to use those, the 

767
00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:22,960
cats will simply disappear. 
They're like, no, that's that's 

768
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:24,160
wrong. 
That's just wrong. 

769
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,520
We're not doing that. 
So I know some people use it and

770
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,320
they have really good, maybe 
they have different than they've

771
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,720
tried. 
I just simply my experiments 

772
00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:35,920
with singing bowls and all this 
harmonically developed 

773
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,920
instruments. 
I've seen cats sometimes 

774
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:42,080
comfortable, sometimes not that 
for me, the voice is one of the 

775
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:47,920
things I can control and I know 
and I understand and I know the 

776
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,080
benefit of it because my 
personal growth was around that.

777
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,880
So I'm actually also learned 
light language and soul song, 

778
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,400
which is kind of the the song 
that you meditate and you 

779
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:02,480
connect and you're your 
challenge your own soul to 

780
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,400
produce a sound. 
And all of those things allow 

781
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,480
you to connect deeper and 
deeper. 

782
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,440
I can tell you if you learn how 
to use your voice, you can 

783
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,200
communicate with the cats and 
dogs. 

784
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,560
I can tell more about cats, but 
any other species? 

785
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,920
Much much better. 
It really is amazing. 

786
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,120
I was reminded as you were 
talking about it earlier, 

787
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,280
there's many, I'm sure channels 
on YouTube, but there's one in 

788
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,280
particular that my husband 
watches and this guy goes out 

789
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:32,640
into a crowded area, a public 
area, and plays the guitar and 

790
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,640
has a sign that says sing with 
me for free. 

791
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,680
And he always said people come 
up and they choose the song and 

792
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,840
he plays the guitar and they 
sing and he always asks them 

793
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,640
when they're done with the song.
How do you feel now that you've 

794
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,200
sung? 
And everybody 100% of the time 

795
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,760
across the board says I feel 
better or I feel amazing or like

796
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,440
it really. 
It does something inside of us 

797
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:59,320
that I don't know if we even 
really completely understand it,

798
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,560
but it definitely changes us for
the better. 

799
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,120
And the words we use. 
Sometimes you don't understand 

800
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:10,040
the language you're singing, but
you understand the emotion 

801
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,640
behind it and suddenly you 
connect to it. 

802
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,520
There is a lot of power in in 
voice. 

803
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,280
If you're listening out there 
and you think, oh, but I Can't 

804
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:20,680
Sing. 
I'm like, if I sing, you know, 

805
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:26,560
because that's the usual I get. 
I would say everybody can sing. 

806
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,960
All the tribes, all, you know, 
around the world, all the tribes

807
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,760
used to sing without any 
judgment. 

808
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,800
The problem is the judgment we 
created in our minds about it. 

809
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,400
And if you cannot get the note 
right, it's because you're 

810
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,960
overthinking it. 
That's the only thing. 

811
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,360
If you connect with the 
breathing, if you simply try, 

812
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:51,000
you know, not trying to get the 
notes, simply go around sing 

813
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,840
without thinking about it, 
you're going to get it right. 

814
00:49:54,920 --> 00:50:00,040
So it's not impossible and the 
idea of singing right better or 

815
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:04,200
it's very commercial. 
It's not a good voice. 

816
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,040
I've heard many good voices 
around. 

817
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,440
They're not commercial. 
They are not going to sell a CD 

818
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,520
ever in their lives. 
And some others that have that, 

819
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:17,400
you know, that pop and thing 
that it's very popular. 

820
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,760
They're going to sell CDs and 
they're, well, CDs. 

821
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:24,440
Not anymore. 
But it's a lot of songs and and 

822
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:28,640
it's because of it's popular, 
it's not necessarily the best 

823
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,000
voice. 
So we need to make a 

824
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,880
distinguished and start and stop
judging about it. 

825
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:40,840
I think that's a good place to 
end when not judging yourself 

826
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:45,800
and just feeling into it. 
And yeah, because I think we 

827
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:50,560
could all use that in our lives 
to just free ourselves from all 

828
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,760
the judgment. 
I think we place so much more on

829
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:57,440
ourselves than the outside world
ever would place on us. 

830
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,960
So where can people find you can
find Felvet? 

831
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,400
Where can they go to like learn 
more and follow you and all the 

832
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,480
things? 
They will find me on

most social media. 

834
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:19,800
And if you tap on the Hard Cut 
and Soul podcast, it's fairly 

835
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,920
new. 
The Spanish one is much more 

836
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:26,640
advanced, but hard cut and soul.
I will start again on February 

837
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,320

time, but I'm, I'm going to 

838
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,800
start again in February. 
And that's, those are the 

839
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,360
places.
