Are Processed Foods Harming Our Pets? | Dr. Shawn Baker & Dr. Ian Billinghurst

Dr. Ian Billinghurst is a Veterinary Surgeon with expertise in Education, Agricultural Science, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, particularly Acupuncture. Widely known as the "father of raw feeding," Dr. Billinghurst introduced the concept in his pioneering 1993 book, "Give Your Dog a Bone," which ignited the raw feeding movement. He delved deeper into the nutritional causes of orthopedic diseases in young dogs with his 1998 book, "Grow Your Pups with Bones," which has since become the go-to guide for dog breeders on raw feeding. In 2001, he presented the "Biologically Appropriate RAW Food" (BARF) paradigm in "The BARF Diet," promoting it as the gold standard for companion animal nutrition. Taking his philosophy a step further, in 2005, he started producing BARF on a commercial scale. In 2016, Dr. Billinghurst explored the connection between nutrition and cancer in "Pointing the Bone at Cancer," emphasizing the potential of metabolic solutions, including ketosis, to target cancer's vulnerabilities. By early 2022, he joined "Gussy's Gut," a U.S.-based company producing fermented superfoods to bolster the intestinal microbiome, as a senior advisor. Throughout his career, Dr. Billinghurst has offered consultations on evolutionary nutrition for both individuals and commercial enterprises.
