Circadian Rhythm for Animal Welfare
An epidemic of metabolic and chronic illnesses affects millions of pets and domestic animals. Pio is an app that seeks to prevent metabolic disease in animals by respecting their circadian rhythms. Through circadian timing, owners can restore metabolic vitality in their animals. At its heart, Pio is about proactive animal wellness. In a unique fusion, it combines circadian therapeutics, cellular metabolism, and design.
Metabolic Health Tailored for Canines
1 in 2 dogs gets cancer.
The canine cancer rate skyrocketed to 50% by 2021.
This loving species has more cancer than any other mammal on Earth.
The heart of Pio is an easy entry to proactive wellness.
The Aftermath
“I wish I had known.”
“I lost my dog to cancer.”
We have a silent epidemic rampaging at the cellular level, with a 50% cancer rate.
Once you receive a cancer diagnosis, life is never the same. Millions of families will be affected.
The Devil Rolling Dice
Pet food is a hundred-year-old lie from World War I.
Aluminum shortage during the war led to kibble.
The pet food industry’s got a billion dollar problem.
75 billion is spent on pets in America annually.
Owners are spending 200% more.
But dog lifespan has decreased 25%.
The average bag of pet food is 50% sugar.
A dangerous combination.
A billion dollar problem.
A hundred-year-old lie.
Are the odds in favor?
Swimming in Dark Waters
“50% of what we learn here is false.
Problem is, we don’t know which 50%.”
—— Dr. Steve Marsden on veterinary care
In 1973, canine cancer rate was roughly 1 in 10.
In 2020, cancer rate is 1 in 2.
Damaged mitochondria, environmental, pet
food industry’s got a billion dollar problem,
rancid fats, mycotoxin, pesticides,
herbicides… a recipe for cancer awaits.
