And so we have a great new 44 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,560 video series called Live Clear, Love Clear, which highlights the 45 00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:02,360 real life experiences of three couples out there, you know, 46 00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:05,520 struggling to navigate cat allergens in the dating world. It 47 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:07,840 can be a real issue if you have a sensitivity 48 00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:10,080 to cat allergiens or your partner does. That could be 49 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,319 a real hurld, you know, to overcome. In some cases 50 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,479 it's actually a deal breaker, which is a shame because 51 00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:16,240 there's so many other things you have to worry about 52 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,120 in a new relationship. You know, sensitivity to cat allogens doesn't. 53 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 5: Need to be one of them. 54 00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 6: So Karina One Live Clear provides such a great solution 55 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,199 to that problem in terms of reducing those cat allogens 56 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,719 and allowing you to really explore the connection you've made 57 00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:31,639 with somebody else. So if you want to check those 58 00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:34,960 videos out, it's actually a great opportunity. Again the three 59 00:03:35,039 --> 00:03:37,439 actual couples who have experienced this, and we have their 60 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,000 videos on Karina one Cat YouTube channel. 61 00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:41,759 Speaker 5: Check those out. 62 00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: Okay, and I have questions for you, doctor Moyle. But 63 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,879 before I get to that, Nick, what inspired you to 64 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,199 get involved in this video series? Do you have cats? 65 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,280 Do you have allergies? I have cat allergies and I 66 00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:55,159 have three cats, so I can relate. 67 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, I actually grew up with three cats, and thankfully 68 00:03:57,719 --> 00:03:59,719 I don't have a you know, I don't have that 69 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,680 cat allergens haven't been an issue for me, but for 70 00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:04,800 somebody out there they are. And look, let's be honest, 71 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,840 as I said, it's hard enough to date in this climate, 72 00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:09,080 whether it's the long distance relationship that you're in or 73 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,800 it's scheduling, but for cat owners, oftentimes catologens can be 74 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,519 a real roadblock in developing a relationship or in a relationship. 75 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,720 And so I was thrilled to partner with Pirena One 76 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:22,560 Live Clear to really highlight a solution to that problem. 77 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,959 Speaker 5: And again, this has been a real game changer for 78 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:25,759 those who have tried it. 79 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 6: It allows you to really focus on the connection you've 80 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,639 made with somebody without being distracted or hindered by by. 81 00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 5: Cat ologens and the sensitivity to catologens. 82 00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, speaking of dating, it's not something 83 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,720 you can hide, right, It's not like, you know, someone 84 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,040 who smokes and hid not. 85 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 6: So sexy to be teary eyed and sneezing and kind 86 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,480 of a buzzkill, kind of a mood killer. 87 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 5: So yeah, we want to take that out of the equation. 88 00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, I could just imagine someone going to kiss someone 89 00:04:50,879 --> 00:04:54,319 and sneezing white in their face. Not a good look, 90 00:04:55,439 --> 00:04:58,600 Doctor Royle, How does Prena one live clear how people 91 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,240 with cat alur jeez? Because a lot of people listening 92 00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:06,680 might say, yeah, sure, I've tied everything. Does this really work? 93 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,399 Does this really a game changer? 94 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 5: Yes? 95 00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 7: So great question, and it is a game changer, and 96 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,720 it's backed by decades of research. So a little bit 97 00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:19,600 of background and u as someone who has a sensitivity 98 00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:22,920 to cat allergens and owns cats might realize this, but 99 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,480 our listeners might not. A lot of people think that 100 00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:31,160 the allergen trigger is the cat hair itself, but it's 101 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,000 actually what's on the cat hair. So when a cat grooms, 102 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,879 the actual major allergen, we call it feld one, is 103 00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:42,199 in the saliva and then it gets spread onto the fur, 104 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,959 and then when the fur gets shed into the environment, 105 00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:48,639 that's when people who have a sensitivity to allergens are 106 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,519 sneezing and you know, again not leaning in for the 107 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,879 kiss because we don't want it to sneeze and be sensitive. 108 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,279 And so we have this amazing dry cat food for 109 00:05:57,519 --> 00:06:00,680 kittens and for adults called Purina one Live clear that 110 00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:04,720 neutralizes that allergen at the source and that is in 111 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,959 the cat's mouth, so before it gets into the environment, 112 00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:11,160 and it can do that by having a cat eat 113 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,319 it daily, and when they eat it daily, it can 114 00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:18,160 reduce that allergen by forty seven percent, which is extraordinary 115 00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:22,199 by day twenty one of feeding. So an incredible impact 116 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,199 can be made to cat owners and their partners or 117 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,439 future partners and their relationship to cats. Because as cat lovers, 118 00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:30,680 we know we want we want everybody to eat our cats. 119 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:31,639 Speaker 5: Yes, we do. 120 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,959 Speaker 3: So it's interesting that you say that because you know, 121 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,959 when we're petting cats, people forget that there's such groomers say, 122 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,600 you're actually touching cats spit on your cat? Ye, it's gross, 123 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,279 but you are right. 124 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 7: Well, I don't tell my clients bad, but it is true. 125 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,480 You know, cats are really they're great groomers. They want 126 00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:52,680 to be clean, and we love that about cats. But yeah, 127 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,040 it inadvertently spreads this allergen. And so how did the 128 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,160 research help us. The research helped us by creating this 129 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,639 egg based protein that's in purina one live clear that 130 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,360 helps neutralize that allergen spit aside. 131 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,959 Speaker 3: Well, that's wonderful. What about there's some people that believe 132 00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:13,560 that dry food is not the best for their cats. 133 00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:16,360 Say you have that on this spectrum, what would you 134 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,800 say to those I think it's good and I do 135 00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:21,680 feed my cat's dry food because it helps with their 136 00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:24,480 teeth and my cat's strength and damn wet. So what 137 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,639 would you say to those listeners that are saying, yeah, 138 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,959 but it's dry food, forget it. 139 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,439 Speaker 7: Yeah, I've talked to. 140 00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:29,959 Speaker 5: A lot of people. 141 00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 7: I've been doing this a long time, as you mentioned earlier, 142 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,160 and I know it's tough, and I want people to 143 00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:38,240 really believe in what they feed their pets. And so 144 00:07:38,439 --> 00:07:41,439 what I can tell you is this dry food offers 145 00:07:41,519 --> 00:07:44,399 an opportunity to be nutritious. 146 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,759 Speaker 3: It's actually based. 147 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 7: Off of our Purina one natural diet, so it has 148 00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:52,639 added vitamins and minerals and nutrients to make it complete 149 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,920 and balanced. And while I understand that for some maybe 150 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000 they don't like the thought of dry food every day, 151 00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:01,560 but it can help with teeth. Like you mean, it's economical, 152 00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:04,279 and it's a really simple and easy way to feed 153 00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:08,000 our cats really great nutrition and in this case also 154 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,519 help with the sensitivity of the allergens. I think that 155 00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:15,040 that is a fantastic, fantastic combination For me personally, I 156 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,680 love that prian It does a lot of research on 157 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,759 all their foods. They always do a lot. 158 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,839 Speaker 3: I've talked to them at pet shows and they do 159 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,199 an extensive amount of research. So I can just imagine 160 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,759 they maun erect they've. 161 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 7: Done with this, Oh yes, literally decades. 162 00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 3: I can imagine. What about any effect on your cats 163 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,159 other than it had to change hats food. 164 00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 7: Oh, that's such a fantastic question. So anytime you change 165 00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:41,240 a diet, we want you in any pet we want 166 00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:43,279 you to transition a little bit slowly, and you can 167 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,600 talk to your veterinarian about this. But what's really impressive 168 00:08:47,799 --> 00:08:51,759 about this is so the allergen is called fell D one, 169 00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:55,320 and it has other functions in the cat, and it 170 00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:00,759 can do with chemical signaling and immune regulation. So what 171 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,440 they did with this dial is that while it neutralizes 172 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,200 this allergen by forty seven percent, it does not stop 173 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,039 its production. And that's really important because we want the 174 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,519 cat's physiology to not be altered in that way. 175 00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 5: So it still produces the fel D one. 176 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 7: We neutralize it in the mouth and then happy couples everywhere. 177 00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:25,159 Speaker 3: That's wonderful. Nick, are you in video series Talking to 178 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:25,799 the couples. 179 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, I had a chance to talk with a great couple, 180 00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:30,480 Sarah and Michael, and yeah, they were struggling. Michael was 181 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,639 out of sensitivity to the cat allergens and he he 182 00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:35,679 was just having a hard time being at her apartment. 183 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,639 He'd stay the night and was up all night sneezing 184 00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:41,200 and the itchy eyes, and then found himself struggling at 185 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,720 work because he hadn't been able to sleep all the 186 00:09:42,799 --> 00:09:45,279 night before. So I asked him and he acknowledged that 187 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,120 they got to a point where, you know, he didn't 188 00:09:47,159 --> 00:09:49,200 know if there was a long term vision, you know 189 00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:51,320 for the two of them, just because he was so miserable, 190 00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:53,279 you know, around her cat, and she made it clear 191 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,720 that the cat was important to her. So it was 192 00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:56,919 a real obstacle in their relationship. But once they had 193 00:09:56,919 --> 00:09:59,279 an opportunity to try, you know, Peri in one live clear, 194 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,320 it really changed everything for them. He's no longer reacting 195 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,759 to her cat, and so it's taking that obstacle out 196 00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:07,480 of the way their relationship, which is what we want. 197 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,840 You know, dating and relationships are hard enough without having 198 00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:14,039 to worry about being sick and sneezing and feeling miserable 199 00:10:14,039 --> 00:10:15,720 where I'm someone you love and care about. 200 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,799 Speaker 3: Exactly because you don't want to have to think. It's 201 00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:21,360 hard enough to find, you know, the one without wondering, 202 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,559 the one cat, the one human? 203 00:10:23,639 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: One? 204 00:10:23,919 --> 00:10:26,159 Speaker 3: Which do I choose? So I'm glad this takes it 205 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,759 out of the right out of the equation. So in closing, 206 00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:32,840 doctor Miall, do you have a favorite ninety eight degrees song? 207 00:10:34,639 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 5: Great question. 208 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,919 Speaker 7: I actually briefly talked to Nick about this earlier.

In the first half the show, we 259 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,480 talked about how if you have a cat and your 260 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,559 significant other or partner or potential partner has cat allergies, 261 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,960 and also if you're the one who has allergies and 262 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,600 are dating someone with a cat. So from personal experience, 263 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,279 people have different allergy effects two cats. For example, for me, 264 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,840 I have mild asthma, so I get kind of wheezy 265 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,840 around cats. I have three. I'm allergic to a lot 266 00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:27,200 of other things, so I do take and you know, 267 00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:31,240 an antihistamine over the counter. We have three cats indoors 268 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,759 now at one time we had three cats and two dogs, 269 00:13:34,279 --> 00:13:38,679 and I'm allergic to cats and dogs, but just mild. 270 00:13:38,919 --> 00:13:42,399 It's not too bad. So I've read a lot of 271 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,799 information on world results of the studies, and it's interesting 272 00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:49,440 as to why it happens. A lot of people think 273 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,440 it's the dander. It is the dander, but most of 274 00:13:53,519 --> 00:13:57,960 the allergic reactions happened from a protein called fell d 275 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:04,080 one feel that's found in cats saliva, in their dander 276 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,840 and in their sebaceous glands. And since cats groom themselves, 277 00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:12,120 you touch cat, you're going to or just near a cat, 278 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,720 you're going to have an effect with this protein and 279 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,039 the proteins also their tiny particles. Of course you can't 280 00:14:19,159 --> 00:14:21,919 see them. They can stay airborne for hours, and they 281 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,279 can cling to furniture, clothing, carpets, everything. That's also another 282 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,360 reason why people when they're you know, shipping merchandise from 283 00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:34,279 so many of us shop online from Etsy and other places, 284 00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:37,559 that they'll say cat free home or with cats because 285 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,720 some people are highly allergic. So one of the things 286 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,799 that is a deterrent when you have these allergies is 287 00:14:44,879 --> 00:14:47,720 it can reallyast mess up your social life. I have 288 00:14:47,799 --> 00:14:51,159 a friend who's very allergic to cats, and she just 289 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,279 recently came over. You know, we had a dinner outside, 290 00:14:55,279 --> 00:14:57,960 so we had a barbecue. We cleaned up it's also 291 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,799 our patios known as the Cadio. Cleaned it up spotless, 292 00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:06,360 We scrubbed everything down. She took like extra medicine before 293 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,320 she came and she was okay. She just had a 294 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,000 little bit of itchyies. So that was a success. But 295 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,279 everybody can be affected differently. You know, you don't want 296 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,759 to avoid visiting friends and family or anything else that 297 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,120 would deter you from just having a social life. That said, 298 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,200 we're going to talk about some questions that I received. 299 00:15:28,879 --> 00:15:31,559 This is based on cat allergies. I just put an 300 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,759 email out there and these are some questions some listeners sent. Okay, 301 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,240 somebody sent a message and asked if it's safe for 302 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,360 the cat or does it just help humans. I'm not 303 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,039 here to just you know, plug karena, but they do extensive, 304 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,879 extensive research on their products, so I know that it's 305 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,320 definitely fine for the cat or it would not be 306 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,279 on the market, and it helps humans, so it kind 307 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,600 of does both. So here's the question. Kind of cute 308 00:15:57,879 --> 00:16:00,440 somebody wrote, you know, whenever I go to my boyfriend's house. 309 00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:04,639 I'm sneezing and blow on my nose and it's a nightmare. 310 00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:07,559 So does this mean I could go to his house 311 00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:11,519 and we can finally have some romantic time. Yeah, it 312 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,679 does pretty much, I would say. And here's another great question. 313 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,360 Could this finally end It's me or the cat break 314 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,720 up stories? Well, I don't know if it'll end all 315 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:28,919 of them. Sometimes how you feel is also in your mind. 316 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,879 I mean, if I think about sneezing enough, even if 317 00:16:31,919 --> 00:16:34,720 I don't have to sneeze, I could probably sneeze. So 318 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,600 I'm not saying allergies are in people's mind. I know 319 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,120 they're not. But it will probably make a big difference 320 00:16:42,279 --> 00:16:45,440 in a lot of relationships, so it won't necessarily be 321 00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:49,440 It's me or the cat situation. Okay, somebody else wrote in, 322 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,000 does this mean that I could cut all my partner's 323 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,200 cat without looking like I cried for hours and hours? 324 00:16:55,879 --> 00:16:59,720 Probably I wouldn't get too close to the cat at first, 325 00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:02,799 Go in steps, let your body get used to the 326 00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:05,680 fact that it might take a little while, might take 327 00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:08,799 several weeks. And again, the particles are airborne, so you'd 328 00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,480 have to clear out the house. But after a while 329 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,519 you should be able to cut all your partner's cat. Okay, 330 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:18,000 this one's interesting. Somebody asked, does it work on all 331 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,359 breeds or are some cats naturally less allergic? Well, since 332 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,799 it affects cat dander and fur, it wouldn't affect some cats. 333 00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:29,480 For example, Sphinx cats you know are bald. I mean 334 00:17:29,519 --> 00:17:32,359 they have very very fine hair, but they're bald, so 335 00:17:32,759 --> 00:17:36,440 they're not hypoallergenic, but they're definitely less allergic than say, 336 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,680 you know, one of your standard furry cats. But this 337 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,759 food would be good for all cats because again it's 338 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,359 created from saliva in the mouth. All cats clean themselves 339 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:55,319 or go. There's allergens around, so great question. So in closing, 340 00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:59,160 I would like to suggest that if you are suffering 341 00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:02,640 because of cats allergies and it's affecting you in your 342 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:08,160 personal relationships in dating, give this a try. Suggest this 343 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,920 to your significant other or prospective significant other. Definitely not 344 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,680 a first or second date question, but you know, if 345 00:18:16,759 --> 00:18:19,000 someone of you is a cat lover the other is 346 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,680 not so much and has allergies, you could always go 347 00:18:23,839 --> 00:18:26,519 ahead and suggest it. Most people listening to cat to 348 00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:28,920 you'd probably have the cat, so it would be you 349 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,880 making the adjustment for your prospective partner. And you know, 350 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,039 when we're talking about love, which is so hard, it's 351 00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:38,799 so hard to find the right one right. So if 352 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,559 it's meant to be, and if that person is your one, 353 00:18:41,839 --> 00:18:44,319 then I would say change your cat's food. You know, 354 00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:47,960 your cat won't know the difference and your partner will 355 00:18:48,039 --> 00:18:51,000 fell better, which will make it better for you.
