At Natural Super Kids, we see our fair share of parasite infections, often associated with various symptoms, from digestive issues to mood disturbances and even sleep problems.

In this episode, I discuss:

• The less obvious signs and symptoms of parasite infections, including mood changes, irritability, anxiety, depression, and weight loss;
• How parasite infections can cause sleep-related issues such as restless sleep, night terrors, bed wetting, and teeth grinding;
• Why 1 in 3 people with pinworms may show no symptoms at all;
• 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;
• How a diverse gut microbiome can help protect against future worm infections.

If you suspect that you or your family might be dealing with a parasite infection, or if you’re experiencing any of the symptoms discussed in this episode, our team of naturopaths at Natural Super Kids is here to help. We offer 1:1 support to guide you through treatment options and develop a personalised plan to restore gut health and protect against future infections.
