  • Episode 219: Eczema Isn’t Just Skin Deep: 3 Underlying Causes You Need to Know
    Jul 6 2025

    Eczema can feel like a never-ending cycle of creams, flare-ups, and frustration — but what if the real solution lies beneath the surface?

    This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re kicking off a new eczema series with something we talk about with parents all the time: what’s really going on underneath your child’s eczema. If you’ve been relying on topical creams (especially steroid-based ones) without lasting results, this episode will help you understand a more holistic path forward.

    In this episode, we’re exploring three often-missed underlying causes of eczema and how we can gently support the body from the inside out for long-term skin health.

    Here’s what we cover:

    • How immune dysregulation plays a role in most eczema cases — and why it’s more than just “sensitive skin”
    • The link between the gut and skin, and why things like constipation, fussy eating, or food sensitivities matter.
    • What an impaired skin barrier means for your child — and how to strengthen it from within.
    • Why it’s time to rethink the “just use a cream” approach, and explore a deeper, more lasting solution.

    🎧 Tune in to feel more informed and empowered as you explore the root causes behind your child’s eczema. This episode is here to help you support their skin health with more clarity, confidence, and care.

  • Episode 218: 3 Things to Consider If Your Child Is Always Getting Sick
    Jun 15 2025

    Let’s explore the root causes behind frequent childhood illness and how we can gently build stronger immunity together.

    This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re talking about something so many parents ask us about: Why does my child keep getting sick? If you feel like you’re constantly managing coughs, colds, and round-the-clock sniffles, you’re not alone — and there is something we can do about it.

    In this episode, we’re sharing a naturopathic perspective on what might be happening underneath repeat infections and how we can support our kids’ immune systems in a more thoughtful, long-term way without panic or pressure.

    Here’s what we cover:

    • What nutrient deficiencies (like iron, zinc, and vitamin D) could be quietly weakening our child’s immune response.
    • The role of dairy sensitivity in triggering recurring inflammation and infections.
    • Why gut microbiome diversity is a game-changer when it comes to immune resilience — and the simple ways we can nurture it with food and lifestyle.
    • How we can step away from the cycle of medications and antibiotics, and lean into nourishment, connection, and empowered decision-making.
    • Simple, food-first strategies you can try at home plus when it’s time to get extra support.

    🎧 Tune in to feel more confident, informed, and supported the next time your child gets sick. We’re here to help you understand the “why” behind frequent illness — so you can support your child’s immune system naturally this winter and beyond.

  • Episode 217: 3 Things Parents Need to Know About Fevers
    Jun 8 2025

    What Parents Really Need to Know About Fevers in Kids

    Fevers can feel scary—but they’re often a sign that your child’s immune system is doing exactly what it’s meant to do. In this episode of the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're sharing a naturopath’s perspective on why fever is a healthy immune response, when to worry (and when not to), and how to confidently support your child through it without unnecessary medication.

    Whether you’re a first-time parent or you’ve dealt with a dozen midnight wakeups and thermometer checks, this episode will give you the clarity and calm you need to better understand and manage fevers at home.

    Here’s what we cover:

    • Why fever is not the enemy and how it helps your child fight infection by speeding up white blood cell activity and slowing the growth of microbes.
    • What most parents don’t realise about fever medications including their risks, from gut irritation to depleting glutathione and links to respiratory complications.
    • Why febrile convulsions aren’t prevented by medication and what to do instead.
    • When to treat the child, not the number — plus signs to watch for, and when to seek urgent medical attention based on age and symptoms.

    🎧 Tune in to be more informed the next time your child has a fever without jumping straight to medication or panic. You’ll learn how to work with your child’s immune system (not against it) and spot the red flags that require medical attention.
