Welcome to our ⭐ Best Of series — where we’re sharing some of the most loved and listened-to episodes from the Natural Super Kids Podcast. These episodes continue to spark conversations, offer clarity, and provide support to parents navigating common health challenges in their kids.

In this Best Of episode of the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're revisiting one of our most popular topics: how to understand and naturally support enlarged tonsils and adenoids without jumping straight to surgery.

If your child struggles with mouth breathing, snoring, recurring ear infections or behavioural issues like poor concentration or hyperactivity, enlarged tonsils and adenoids could be playing a bigger role than you think.

This is a must-listen for parents who want to explore their options with confidence and clarity.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

  • What tonsils and adenoids actually are, and how they function in the immune system.
  •  Common reasons they become enlarged (and stay that way).
  •  The link between enlarged tonsils/adenoids and symptoms like mouth breathing, sleep issues, ADHD, and fussy eating.
  •  Risks and benefits of surgical removal and why it’s not always the best first step.
  •  Natural and nutritional strategies we recommend to reduce inflammation.
  •  How oral myofunctional therapy can support breathing, sleep, and long-term outcomes.

Ready to take a natural step forward?

Supporting enlarged tonsils and adenoids doesn’t have to mean rushing into surgery. Tune in to feel informed, empowered, and supported with practical, gentle alternatives. 🎧
