This week on the podcast, we’re addressing a common problem for parents: when it comes to your child’s health symptoms and conditions, how do you navigate the overwhelming question of “where do I even start?” From eczema and sleep issues to ADHD and autism, the abundance of conflicting advice can leave you unsure and second guessing yourself. We’re here to help you cut through the noise and focus on the one area that has the potential to make the biggest difference.

In this episode, we cover:

> Why parents often feel overwhelmed by the conflicting advice surrounding children’s health conditions.
> How symptoms like constipation, eczema, ADHD, mood and behavior, and fussy eating can all be linked to one central area of the body.
> How improving gut health leads to improvements in nutrient absorption, immune function, mood regulation, and even better sleep.
>The critical role microbiome diversity plays in your child’s overall health and why gut repair should be your main focus.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, this episode is the perfect place to start. Tune in to learn more about how repairing and nourishing your child’s gut health can address a wide range of health issues and provide a clear path forward in your child’s health journey.

• 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;

When it comes to iron deficiency, simply taking an iron supplement isn’t always the solution. One key piece of the puzzle that’s often overlooked is iron absorption. Without proper absorption, even the best iron-rich foods or supplements won’t have the desired impact on your iron levels.

In this episode, I dive into the importance of iron absorption and how you can improve your body’s ability to absorb this essential mineral.

In this episode, I discuss:

• How iron is absorbed in the body and the key factors that support optimal absorption.
• The importance of stomach acid in iron absorption and the common factors that can negatively impact stomach acid levels.
• Why taking iron every day may not be the best approach for everyone.
• The significance of choosing the right form of iron in a supplement and why more iron isn’t always better.
• Why individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are more prone to iron deficiency and what to consider for proper management.
• The difference between haem and non-haem sources of iron, and how to make sure you’re getting enough from your diet.

If you’ve been struggling with low iron levels despite taking supplements or eating iron-rich foods, this episode will help you understand what might be going wrong and give you practical tips to support your body’s iron absorption.
