Thank you. Lets talk about this. St. Rose Animal Urgent Care opened last year, late night emergency pet hospital. But its beyond that, as well. I got my dogs teeth cleaned at 8 00 at tell us the stuff that you offer there.

Spay, neutering, you dont want to miss your kids baseball games, school starting, you have all the stuff going on. We can take care of that light excellent to know about. Its great. Especially when you have crazy hours like me until you work until 7 00. Every veterinarian in town is shut down. You are opened and not paying this extra tax because youre open late nights. Exactly. Unlike some emergency places where they hit you hard. Exactly. Thats our main goal. When we got together and thought lets get this urgent care going in the valley and really changed the game in veterinary medicine, our objective was to keep money in your and give you an alternative. Everyone has emergency hospitals in the back of their mind if they have pets, and you obviously have to pay for that. So we wanted to provide that same objective of you can have day Practice Medicine and emergency care, and not be completely broke, you know. And you guys have gotten a lot of good feedback from your patients online. And that means a lot to me. Youre somebody that i want your and getting those calls all the time, want to make sure you guys are real. What are your hours again . I might come see them. Let me tell youing so, youve not seen dr. Owens in scrubs. Handsome man. Wait until you see him. You know, im going to bring my pet here for another teeth cleaning next week. Oh, my gosh. You feel like you benefit practices. How is that . We do. Dr. Owens has amazing relationship. You want to are that consultation with them. Hey, i got one coming your way. Its a big situation. If youre coming from your vet and they say you need overnight care for your pet you like to know that my vet is communicating with this new vet that you want to have that relationship with, so were on the same page. And were going to write back to you and make sure were knows whats going on and that youre comfortable. Your pet gets better care, when we ship them back to your doctor and explain everything that pet is getting the best care possible. We take out that one aspect, youre going through these notes and i dont know what just happened, and were im on the phone with them right now. Were doing good. And you were talking about having a february number on hand is critical, you also have an app that people can use, as well. Yes. Our objective is everyone has certain im back of their mind in vegas, right . That rob here for 20, 30 years. That is their number one go to. We want st. Rose Animal Urgent Care to be the number one go to because we want to save you money and we provide the same quality care. If you can get something less expensive and have the same quality of care and have the peace of mind, that is so valuable. That is the phone number you need to have in your phone, you know. And money does not grow on trees. Lets be real. A lot of people discuss how expensive vet bills can be. I have to tell you im impressed with you for a couple reasons. Shawn is impressed because youre handsome. Im impressed that you actually grew up veterinary medicine in your family. My mom is a veterinarian. And i always kind of we lived in that background. I didnt know she was a doctor to be honest until she came to career day and she brought a fat cat named precious. Dr. Owens is going to do this. I said doctor who . I must have been in kindergarten but that was an amazing experience. I thought okay, its Second Nature to me, but she didnt say much, very humble about anything. See, you followed in your moms footsteps. Yeah. Is your mom an inventor . Yes. No. She invented him. Dr. Owens is an inventor. Invented this amazing there you go. Tell us about it. So urgent care, as a veterinarian one of the biggest situations is feeding human table food to your pet. A lot of people say im spoiling my dog, he gets steak, chicken, everything i get. Lasagna. He loves the lasagna, but it hurts them, tears them up. They get diabetes, a lot of secondary health conditions. When it gets to that situation, oh, vomiting diarrhea for this long. Were on all these special diets. Thats right. I cant eat what i used to when i was 18. Same for your pets. They get older every year by seven. So imagine ten years of age youre giving them steak and potatoes, tears them up. That bowl is used to design to put the human food at the bottom. The middle filter, you put the kibble at the top and allow that to filter through, stimulate that a roma. It is brilliant. It works. Youre close to you have thats right. And youre close to having this in mass production. Thats right. So this is like were early on this. Were very early, very preliminary. Were getting tons of positive feedback. I just wish i had in my hand i dont want to give you two right now to say you know youll see. You be the judge. If people are interested they can go he to that kick starter and they can prepurchase that bowl, but it will be coming relatively soon. So even if you have a picky eater, he doesnt like eating kibble. Trick them. Trick them. Master manipulation in a positive way. Good for you guys. Enjoy a bowl, so interesting here.

If donald trump cannot respect a gold star family, give your body a total transformation without the pain and hassle that comes with diet and exercise. Our next guest says she can help you lose three to seven pounds a week. Sounds good. Dr. Kathleen nash of total transformation is here with us along with sarah lopez. Great having both of you. Thanks for having us. Youre a chiropractor but launched a weight l how does one become the other . One becomes the other because i always struggled with weight myself. So when i was 8yearsold i started gaining weight. I reached a top weight of 230 pounds, a size 20. And every diet i would try would work temporarily but it would always come back. Thats me. Look at that tiny look at the screen. I see it. Ive seen it. I seen it all the time. But in 2009, i started researching it and found out factors besides eating and exercising that if you dont correct them the weight loss is going to be temporary, which was my problem. Because its calories in, calories out. Thats all you hear. Thats part of the story, but its not the the entire story. When we applied the five factors to myself, i went from 230 to 150 pounds. I lost 80pound, that was seven years ago. 95 of us gain it back in a year. To keep it off for seven years was something. No question. What are those met a can factors . Thats the total and it tole a transformation, so the first one is being toxic, too much toxin in the fat cells of the liver. The second one is where were overfed but under nourished. The third one is retraining the hypothalamus, the part of the brain responsible for your set weight. Then there is acidity that drives it, as well, which causes hunger and craving. And up to eight different hormones can be imbalanced that can cause you to have difficulty and you actually recently started dr. Nashs program.

How many days . 45. Wow. 36 pounds in 45 days. There is her before. Its incredible. And so lets talk about your experience. Yeah. Im going to a lock on my mouth, not going to be able to eat anything. Not the case . No, my life is pretty chaotic. I work, i go to
