We’re excited to announce a new series in our podcast called Real Conversations, where we chat with parents who are using a holistic approach to healing their children’s health issues with great success!

This week we’re talking to Billie, mum to 5-year-old Aries, who opens up about her son’s chronic health challenges, including enlarged tonsils and adenoids, sleep apnea, and recurring infections from birth. When an ENT recommended surgery to remove Aries tonsils and adenoids, a late night Google search led Billie to us, and from there she turned to a natural approach instead… and the results speak for themselves!

In this episode Billie shares:

> The challenges Aries faced, from chronic infections and mouth breathing to behavioural issues and sleep walking.

> How Billie discovered Sarah from the Natural Super Kids team, and decided to address the root causes of the health issues before resorting to surgery.

> The changes they made to the whole family’s diet and lifestyle, and how these changes created dramatic improvements in just two weeks.

> The incredible outcome they have seen in Aries since the first consultation with Sarah: everything from improved sleep and behaviour, to no tonsillitis, infections or antibiotics for over a year!

Tune in to hear Billie’s inspiring story and learn how addressing the root causes of chronic health issues can lead to life-changing results.

If you’re navigating similar challenges with your child, our team of highly qualified naturopaths can help you in the same way they helped Billie! Simply book a consultation to get started.

This week on the podcast, Jess is joined by Melanie Van Schelven, an Oral Health Therapist at her practice The Face Place. Mel specialises in children’s dental health issues, and takes a holistic approach to addressing the underlying cause of dental health problems. In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into mouth breathing, crowded teeth, tooth decay, airway health, and so much more.

In this episode, we cover:

> What it means to take a holistic approach to children’s dental care, and how we need to be looking at more than just the teeth and gums when tackling any issues.

> Why conventional dental appointments aren’t addressing the root cause of dental health problems.

> The common causes of mouth breathing and why it is important to get your child assessed if you notice them consistently breathing through their mouth instead of their nose.

> The relationship between enlarged tonsils and adenoids, lip and tongue ties, and dental development in children.

Mel is an incredible source of knowledge when it comes to oral health, so if you’re concerned your child may have some dental health problems and you want to learn more about a holistic approach to healing, this episode is the one for you!

This week on the podcast, our naturopath Laura takes over to introduce the Gut Ecology and Metabolic Modulation Protocol, also known as the G.E.M.M. Protocol. Developed by Christine Houghton—a respected clinician, researcher, and founding director of Cell-Logic—this transformative approach to gut health addresses a wide range of concerns, from allergies to chronic conditions, through a diet and lifestyle that focuses on inclusion over restriction.

In this episode, Laura breaks down how the G.E.M.M. Protocol can be the key to better health in your family by discussing:

> What the G.E.M.M. Protocol is and how it balances the gut microbiome to restore harmony and improve overall well-being.

> How this dietary approach helps with digestive issues, inflammation, infections, and even autoimmune and chronic diseases such as diabetes.

> How our dietary approaches can directly influence how our genes function, and the critical connection between the gut and the immune system.

> Practical ways to implement the G.E.M.M. Protocol into your family’s routine for lasting health benefits.

The G.E.M.M. Protocol is a game changer, not just for gut health, but for managing various chronic conditions. If you want to learn more about this holistic, effective, science-backed approach to better health in your children and family, make sure you tune in to this episode!

In today’s podcast episode, we’re diving into the world of natural medicine and addressing some of the most common myths we come across.

• Why repeating worming treatments two weeks after the initial treatment is crucial for effectiveness;
• The relationship between parasites and iron deficiency, and why addressing gut health is key for both treatment and prevention;
