Are parasite cleanses for kids actually necessary?

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re addressing one of the most commonly asked (and most misunderstood) questions we get from parents that pops up often in our DMs, emails, and live masterclasses:

“Should I be doing a parasite cleanse for my child?”

If you’ve ever come across an Instagram ad or wellness reel pushing the idea that every child needs regular parasite cleanses, this episode is for you. We’re unpacking the fear-based marketing, busting myths, and giving you the real, naturopath-backed guidance on when parasite cleanses may be helpful and when they’re completely unnecessary.

Here’s what we cover:

• Identifying the signs and symptoms that could indicate a parasitic infection.
• The difference between worms and gut parasites and why they’re often confused.
•  Why general parasite cleanses can actually do more harm than good for your child’s gut.
•  How these cleanses can impact the gut microbiome, nutrient absorption, and long-term health.
• Everyday, natural ways to support your child’s gut, immunity, and resilience.

Rather than jumping into harsh herbal cleanses or over-the-counter meds “just in case,” this episode will help you understand the why, when, and what else to consider before taking action.

✨ Tune in to learn what really supports long-term gut health in kids and when to seek professional guidance for parasites or worms.
