Something unusual just happened in North Carolina — and it wasn’t driven by politicians or corporations. It was regular people showing up for nature.

The state’s annual North Carolina Pollinator Count just shattered its previous record, with 5,067 pollinator counts submitted in 2024 — a 113% increase from the year before.

The community science event invites residents, schools, farmers, and gardeners to spend 15 minutes observing bees, butterflies, and other pollinators and report what they see. The goal is simple: help scientists understand how pollinator populations are changing across the state.

But this year something bigger happened.

Alongside the record participation, communities across North Carolina also created more than 160 new pollinator gardens — small habitats filled with native flowers that provide food and shelter for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.

Why does that matter? Because pollinators are responsible for helping produce about one-third of the food people eat, yet many species are facing pressure from habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change.

Events like the Pollinator Count turn everyday residents into community scientists, collecting data while also restoring habitat right where they live.

It’s a reminder that conservation doesn’t always start in national parks or research labs.

Sometimes it starts with a backyard, a patch of flowers, and 15 minutes of paying attention. 🐝🌼

I spent 30 years as a veterinarian watching the same pets come back with the same problems.

Then I started training other people to do what I wish I had known decades earlier — and everything changed.

Here's what I've learned from certifying over 150 holistic pet health coaches.

The pet parents and pet professionals who go through this program don't just gain knowledge. They become the person their entire community turns to when they're ready to go deeper — complementing their vet's care with a whole-body approach to healing.

One of our coaches, Jessica, told me the program gave her the tools and confidence to grow her business — and to help her clients' pets in ways she never thought possible.

Another coach, Michael, shared something that really stayed with me. He realized that simply explaining vet instructions to pet parents wasn't enough. His clients needed someone to guide the healing at home — someone who could bridge the gap between the clinic visit and the everyday care that happens in their living room.

And then there's Sam. He lost pets who meant everything to him. His biggest takeaway? Don't wait. Be the person who steps up before it's too late.

That is the heart of everything we teach.

In just 16 weeks, you'll learn a powerful combination of Functional Medicine and Traditional Chinese Veterinary approaches. You'll study anatomy and physiology. You'll discover how to use real food to support virtually any health concern a pet may be facing.

This is about complementing the incredible work that veterinarians do every single day. It's about supporting pet families in the spaces between appointments — with at-home guidance, a whole-body perspective, and ongoing care that helps pets truly thrive.

Our graduates help dogs get off Apoquel. They help cats overcome chronic vomiting. They help senior pets rediscover their energy and joy. They do this every single day — and they do it with confidence.

And the support doesn't end at certification. Our graduates receive ongoing business coaching, dedicated mentorship, continuing education, and an annual live gathering. Everything you need to build this into a real, meaningful practice.

This program is designed for vet techs, groomers, trainers, pet store owners, dog walkers, and passionate pet parents who know there's a better way — and are ready to be the one who provides it.

If that sounds like you, I'd love to connect.

💬 Comment INFO below and I'll personally reach out with all the details so we can explore whether this is the right fit for you.

P.S. We offer RACE-approved continuing education credits for Veterinarians and Vet Techs. And every student receives access to wholesale accounts with our supplement partners from day one. 🐾
