  • Episode 236: BEST OF: A Natural Approach to Enlarged Tonsils and Adenoids in Children
    Nov 2 2025

    Welcome to our ⭐ Best Of series — where we’re sharing some of the most loved and listened-to episodes from the Natural Super Kids Podcast. These episodes continue to spark conversations, offer clarity, and provide support to parents navigating common health challenges in their kids.

    In this Best Of episode of the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're revisiting one of our most popular topics: how to understand and naturally support enlarged tonsils and adenoids without jumping straight to surgery.

    If your child struggles with mouth breathing, snoring, recurring ear infections or behavioural issues like poor concentration or hyperactivity, enlarged tonsils and adenoids could be playing a bigger role than you think.

    This is a must-listen for parents who want to explore their options with confidence and clarity.

    In this episode, we’ll cover:

    • What tonsils and adenoids actually are, and how they function in the immune system.
    • Common reasons they become enlarged (and stay that way).
    • The link between enlarged tonsils/adenoids and symptoms like mouth breathing, sleep issues, ADHD, and fussy eating.
    • Risks and benefits of surgical removal and why it’s not always the best first step.
    • Natural and nutritional strategies we recommend to reduce inflammation.
    • How oral myofunctional therapy can support breathing, sleep, and long-term outcomes.

    Ready to take a natural step forward?

    Supporting enlarged tonsils and adenoids doesn’t have to mean rushing into surgery. Tune in to feel informed, empowered, and supported with practical, gentle alternatives. 🎧

  • Episode 235: Exposing Greenwashing & Nutrition Washing in Packaged Foods: What the Labels Aren’t Telling You with Dr Hayley Dickinson
    Oct 26 2025

    This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re diving into one of the most eye-opening food conversations we’ve had yet with scientist, food integrity expert, and founder of Eat For You, Dr. Hayley Dickinson.

    From misleading labels to outdated nutrition data, Dr. Hayley pulls back the curtain on how food marketing plays on our values especially when it comes to feeding our families. If you’ve ever wondered whether you can really trust what’s written on food packaging, this episode is a must-listen.

    In this episode, we explore:

    What greenwashing and nutrition washing actually mean and how they show up in food marketing.
    Why food labels often don’t reflect what’s really inside (including shocking nutrient discrepancies).
    What parents should know about common supermarket products like Brazil nuts, berries, and organic snacks.
    Simple, practical ways to reduce chemical exposure and choose better foods without blowing your budget

    🎧 Tune in to learn how to become a more informed food shopper, why “healthy” packaging often isn’t, and how to focus your energy on what really matters when it comes to nourishing your family.
