The Nupsala Podcast

In this episode, Greg McGarrell sits down with Dr. Mark Bowen, an equine internal medicine specialist, to explore a groundbreaking approach to managing equine asthma. Moving beyond traditional treatments like clenbuterol and corticosteroids, Mark shares how a biologic derived from the horse’s own blood is offering a promising alternative — especially for competition horses where drug regulations are tight.
They discuss the origins of equine asthma as a diagnosis, the limitations of conventional therapies, and how biologics might serve as a safer, drug-free anti-inflammatory option. With real-world examples, delivery protocols, and an honest look at what science can and can’t yet explain, this episode dives deep into the future of respiratory care in horses.
Whether you treat performance horses, manage yard favourites, or simply want a glimpse of where respiratory medicine is heading, this conversation delivers practical insight—and plenty to think about.

Editors Note: A small correction to this podcast is that Ciclesonide has a 120 hour urine detection time not 72 hours as discussed.

With Julie Burns (Endometriosis UK Friendly Employer Scheme Manager), Harriet Tims (Operations Manager at Nupsala), and Kelly Masters (Clinical Support at MSK Vets).
In this special episode of The Nupsala Podcast, we take a step away from our usual animal healthcare focus to highlight a human health issue that deserves far greater attention: Endometriosis.
Earlier this year, Nupsala became an Endometriosis Friendly Employer, and this conversation is part of our ongoing commitment to creating a more inclusive, supportive, and understanding workplace for women’s health needs.
Even if you’ve never experienced Endometriosis yourself, your awareness and understanding can make a real difference in fostering a culture of openness, compassion, and support. With 1 in 10 women living with Endometriosis, many continue to endure it without adequate recognition, treatment, or workplace support.
For more information on Endometriosis or on becoming a Endometriosis Friendly Employer please visit: https://www.endometriosis-uk.org
 
Together with our guests, we discuss:
✔ Busting common myths and misconceptions about endometriosis

✔ Effective management and treatment approaches

✔ How workplaces can better support employees with endometriosis

✔ What it means to be an Endometriosis Friendly Employer

✔ Practical steps to improve policies, culture, and awareness around women’s health
