Dr Kate Lindsey is a veterinarian who has had a lifelong fascination with animals and their behaviour. After feeling confused and uncomfortable with the high rates of euthanasia due to behavioural reasons seen in veterinary practice, Kate pursued further studies in this field and founded Kalmpets in Perth, WA. Kate and I discuss emerging research in the field of behavioural medicine and the crossover between canine and human mental illnesses. We then jump into the specifics of how she uses diet and supplements to aid in the management of her cases. 

Topics discussed include:
The importance of recognising canine cognitive dysfunction as a true neurological condition and treating it as such  
Diagnosing mental illnesses in dogs, including anxiety, sleep disorders, attention deficit disorders and autism using knowledge of distinct behavioural patterns and taking an individualised approach 
Do dogs suffer from depression and post traumatic stress disorder?
Neurotransmitters involved in mental illnesses, including serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline
Kate's most reached for supplements for brain health
Nutritional psychiatry and Kate's professional beliefs about the best diet for brain health 
The gut-brain axis and the importance of the microbiome 
Serotonin syndrome- what are the risks?
