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.
