What do you call a veterinarian that can only take care of one species? A physician.  As you just heard from our guest today, Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, who is a physician, who’ll share how a species-spanning approach to health can improve medical care of the human animal — particularly when it comes to mental health.  Dr. Natterson-Horowitz is co-author of the amazing book and creator of the TV series, Zoobiquity, Zoobiquity explored how animal and human commonality can be used to diagnose, treat, and heal patients of all species.  Infertility, lung cancer, anxiety, obesity, eating disorders, heart attacks, and PTSD are common in humans, but they are not uniquely human disorders. Concerns about the diseases associated with animals have encouraged researchers around the world to try to bridge the gap between animal and human medicine. Drawing on the latest in medical and veterinary science—as well as evolutionary and molecular biology—it’s now understood that animals and humans suffer from many of the same health problems. Practitioners and researchers are actively comparing the human and veterinary approaches to shared ailments and transforming medical practices and research in the process.

Thomas Jefferson once asserted that "for depth of purpose, zeal, and sagacity, no man in Congress exceeded, if any equaled Sam Adams." John Adams called him "the most elegant writer, the most sagacious politician, and celebrated patriot perhaps of all."
