creased risks of joint disorders, some cancers and other health issues. Crockett consulted with Western medicine and homeopathic veterinarians to formulate a peptide supplement for animals that stimulates a pet’s endocrine system which has been altered through surgical spaying or neutering. “What peptides do is stimulate the adrenal cortex. That adrenal cortex then produces, in small amounts, these hormones that were lost when you sterilize the pet through elective surgery. Therefore, it boosts the endocrine system to start producing hormones again,” Crockett explains. “By doing this, we’re signaling life again within these pets without side effects from cancer, Cushing’s disease, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, ligament tears or hip dysplasia.” In addition, many commercial brands of dog and cat foods lack the proteins, vitamins and nutrients required to maintain a pet’s health, Crockett adds. “Many brands contain synthetic vitamins and ingredients not akin to what these carnivores would naturally eat. Dogs need organ meat. When a wolf packs attacks an animal, the alpha dog eats the organ meat first. Liver is the most nutrient-dense food for dogs and cats.” Crockett hosts a podcast, Your Pets Radio, and has appeared as a pet health and longevity expert on programs broadcast via FOX, iHeart Radio and Cumulus Media local affiliates nationwide. He uses peptides to support the health of his current canine companion, Howie, an Anatolian shepherd dog. For more information, visit TheGiftForLife.com. See ad, page 38. December 2023
