Are you looking for natural flea and tick prevention for dogs without relying on toxic pesticides? In this episode of the Gubba Homestead Podcast, we break down the “terrain” approach to naturally repelling fleas and ticks by strengthening your dog from the inside out.

Instead of focusing only on killing parasites, we dive into how a raw diet for dogs, immune health, skin barrier support, and environmental management can make your pet less attractive to fleas and ticks in the first place. You’ll learn how to use garlic for dogs safely, why the fear around garlic is based on a high-dose extract study, and how small, thoughtful amounts may support natural deterrence.

We also discuss how brewer’s yeast may help repel fleas, how to properly garlic for flea control, and how to apply apple cider vinegar and coconut oil for dogs to support healthy skin and coat resilience.

Finally, we take a clear look at conventional flea and tick medications, what their product inserts actually say, and why many of them are classified as pesticides. If you’re concerned about systemic flea treatments, oral tick medications, or chemical spot-ons, this episode gives you a grounded, informed perspective on natural alternatives.

If you’re searching for:

This episode walks you through it in detail.

In this episode of the Gubba Podcast, Gubba explores homesteading not as a trend or aesthetic, but as a deeply regulating way of life that restores calm, resilience, and health at a nervous-system level. If modern life has left you anxious, overstimulated, or disconnected, this conversation explains why working with your hands, tending animals, growing food, and living seasonally can feel grounding almost immediately.

We dive into how traditional living provides the body with signals it recognizes instinctively—rhythm, effort, completion, and rest. These cues help calm chronic stress, improve sleep and digestion, stabilize emotions, and restore a sense of safety and orientation that many people feel they’ve lost.

This episode also explores why self-sufficiency resurges during uncertain economic times, how convenience culture quietly weakens resilience, and why skills, food storage, and tangible resources reduce fear at a biological level—not just a mental one. Homesteading isn’t about going backward. It’s about restoring what the body still needs to function well.

This episode is sponsored by Arvoti, Gubba’s natural, clean skincare brand built on the same philosophy discussed here: supporting the body instead of forcing it. Simple, intentional ingredients that work with your skin, not against it. Learn more at arvoti.com.

Homesteading isn’t nostalgia. It’s remembrance. The body has not forgotten what it needs to feel steady, capable, and at peace.

Discover the hidden connections between your mouth and your overall health in this eye-opening episode of the Gubba Podcast: Root Canals, Meridians, and Chronic Illness: What Dentistry Isn’t Telling You About Whole-Body Health.

Join me as we explore natural living, prepping, and self-reliance, and dive deep into a topic I have pondered for years: the potential long-term effects of root canals on systemic wellness. This isn't about fear, it's about awareness, asking better questions, and recognizing how conventional dentistry often treats teeth as isolated parts rather than integral to the body's interconnected systems.

Explore why a root canal creates a "dead" structure in a living body, learn how these hidden, low-grade infections may evade standard X-rays and contribute to chronic stress on the immune system, potentially manifesting as unexplained fatigue, inflammation, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune issues, or other persistent health challenges far from the mouth.

We will dive into the fascinating concept of meridians from traditional systems like Chinese medicine, where each tooth aligns with specific organs and energetic pathways.

Whether you're dealing with chronic mysteries, curious about whole-body connections, or simply want to make more informed choices about dental care, this thought-provoking discussion encourages curiosity over convention.
