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.

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.

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.

When your child is experiencing frequent meltdowns, struggles with falling or staying asleep, or rides an emotional rollercoaster day after day, it’s natural to wonder what’s really going on. These big behaviours can feel overwhelming, but often times, they are actually signals that your child’s body and nervous system may be out of balance. And while every child is beautifully unique, there are patterns and clues that can help us understand what’s really going on

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re tackling one of the most common questions we hear from parents:

“Is this normal, or is something else going on?”

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• How the gut-brain connection can shape your child’s mood, sleep patterns, and emotional resilience.
• The impact of blood sugar imbalances and nutritional deficiencies on daily behaviour.
• The role of lifestyle factors like screen time, overstimulation, and modern routines.
• Why behaviour is often a form of communication and how to approach it with curiosity and care.

This episode will help you slow down, zoom out, and see your child’s challenges through a new, empowering lens. You’ll walk away feeling more grounded, more informed, and with a handful of practical, real-life starting points to gently support your child’s overall well-being in everyday moments.

Because you don’t need more pressure—you just need the right advice, and a bit of clarity to move forward with more ease.
