🌴 What a Family Trip to Fiji Taught Me About Health, Happiness & Slowing Down

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, I’m shifting gears from the usual health-focused topics to share something a little more personal; an honest reflection on a recent family trip to Fiji and the unexpected lessons it brought.

As my kids grow older, travel continues to be a powerful teacher; not just for them, but for me too. From embracing “Fiji time” and letting go of the rush, to soaking in moments of contentment and connection, this trip offered reminders about what really matters most. In this episode, I’m sharing the values, priorities, and insights that are shaping my parenting and personal growth journey right now.

Here’s what I talk about in this episode:

• Why travel has always been a priority for our family and how we make it work financially.
• The joys and challenges of traveling with teens (let’s just say... it’s not always smooth sailing!).
• What I admired most about Fijian culture: slowing down, being present, and finding contentment where you are.
• Why this trip reminded me to keep investing in my fitness, mobility, and strength — not just for today, but for all the adventures I want to have in the decades ahead.

🎧 Tune in for a personal conversation about parenting, purpose, and the clarity travel can bring. Whether you’re dreaming of your next family holiday or just craving a moment of reflection, I hope this episode speaks to you.

When it comes to reducing toxins in our homes, some of the biggest threats are the ones we can’t see.

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re wrapping up our low-tox living series with an episode that’s essential for every modern household: a deep but practical look at PFAS chemicals — often called “forever chemicals” for good reason. These invisible toxins are used in everything from non-stick cookware to school uniforms, food packaging to mascara… and they don't just disappear. They linger in our homes, our water, and even our bodies.

In this episode, we unpack how PFAS exposure builds up over time, why it’s especially concerning for kids and pregnant women, and how to start making sustainable changes that actually feel doable. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by toxin talk, this conversation will help ground and guide you.

Here's what we cover:

• What PFAS are and why they’re known as “forever chemicals”.
• Where these toxins show up in everyday life from pans to prams to personal care.
• How PFAS exposure may impact immunity, hormones, and long-term health  especially in children.
• Gentle but effective steps to reduce your family’s toxic load, one swap at a time.

🎧 Tune in to feel informed, supported, and empowered to make safer, low-tox choices that ripple into long-term wellbeing for your family.

When we think of reducing toxins in our homes, we often focus on cleaning products or plastics but hidden pesticide residues on everyday produce could be quietly contributing to our kids’ toxic load.

In this episode of the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re continuing our low-tox living series with an honest conversation about pesticides, and why choosing organic matters more for children. Pesticides are everywhere — from what we eat to what we breathe in and while we can’t avoid them completely, there’s a lot we can do to minimise exposure, especially for our little ones.

Whether your family already buys some organic produce, lives rurally near farms, or you’re just beginning to learn about glyphosate and the Dirty Dozen — this episode will meet you where you are.

Here’s what we talk about in this episode:

• Why children are more vulnerable to pesticides, and how they can affect gut health, immune development, hormones, and neurodevelopment
• What glyphosate is, and why it’s one of the most concerning chemicals in our food system
• How to make smarter food swaps using the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists even on a tight budget
• Practical strategies for families living rurally, including how to reduce pesticide drift, set up cleaner home zones, and support detox pathways naturally

🎧 Tune in to feel more informed, empowered, and supported in reducing pesticide exposure at home — one practical step at a time. This episode will help you make aligned decisions around food, routines, and what goes in (and stays out of) your home environment.

When we think about reducing toxin exposure in our families, plastics are one of the biggest and most overlooked culprits.

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re continuing our low-tox living series by unpacking the health risks of everyday plastic products — and more importantly, what you can do about it. We made sure you'll walk away with information as to how hidden chemicals found in plastic containers, toys, personal care products, and even clothing could be impacting your child’s long-term health.

This episode will help you cut through the overwhelm and make realistic, sustainable swaps for a healthier home — starting with just one change a week.

Here's what we cover:

• How BPA and phthalates found in common plastics disrupt hormones, metabolism, and immunity especially in growing kids
• Where these chemicals are hiding in your home including surprising places like receipts, personal care products, and baby food packaging.
• Simple, practical swaps to reduce plastic exposure in your family’s everyday life.
• Why early exposure to these toxins may play a role in the rise of early-onset cancers, as highlighted in the Four Corners report “Generation Cancer”.

🎧 Tune in to feel supported, informed, and empowered as you take small but meaningful steps to reduce your family’s exposure to harmful chemicals in plastics. From lunch boxes to laundry, this episode will inspire you to rethink plastic use in your home with a calm, realistic mindset.

When we think about protecting our children’s health, we often focus on food, supplements, or sleep — but what about the toxins we might be unknowingly carrying into our homes every single day?

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re continuing our series on practical, low-tox living with one of the simplest changes you can make to reduce chemical exposure at home — removing shoes at the door.  Research shows that what’s on the bottom of our shoes could be silently impacting our family’s wellbeing: pesticides, heavy metals, microplastics, bacteria, and more.

And while today’s topic might sound small, it’s one of the easiest and most effective habits to put in place especially if you’ve got little ones crawling, playing, and living life on the floor.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why shoes can carry hidden toxins like glyphosate, heavy metals, petroleum residues, and microplastics — and how they end up in your home.
• How indoor environments, especially carpeted floors, can trap these toxins and affect long-term health (particularly in young children with developing immune and detox systems).
• How the “shoes off at the door” rule can protect your family’s health and keep your home cleaner.
• Real-life tips to make this work in your home: creating a shoes-off zone, handling guests politely, and what to do if taking shoes off isn’t always possible.

🎧 Tune in to feel more empowered, informed, and supported as you take meaningful steps toward reducing your family's daily exposure to environmental toxins and harmful household chemicals. Even small changes like this can play a powerful role in supporting long-term family health and lowering the toxic load our kids are exposed to.

Let’s talk about a topic that’s been on many parents’ minds lately — the rising rates of cancer in young people, and what that means for our children’s future health.

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re reflecting on the Four Corners report Generation Cancer, which highlights some confronting statistics. But instead of letting fear take the lead, we’re unpacking the key takeaways from a naturopathic perspective with calm, clarity, and practical ways forward.

In this episode, we explore the connection between modern lifestyle habits and long-term health risks — and how we can begin laying strong, simple foundations for our kids' wellbeing without panic or pressure.

Here’s what we cover:

• What the “Generation Cancer” report reveals about cancer trends in young people including which types are increasing the most.
• The role of gut health, nutrition, and toxins in long-term disease prevention (and what we know from research so far).
• The link between antibiotic overuse, the gut microbiome, and immune vulnerability and what parents can do instead.
• How to take a more thoughtful, empowered approach to everyday choices like food, cleaning products, plastics, and more.
• How to make realistic, gentle shifts in your child’s environment without fuelling health anxiety.

🎧 Tune in to feel grounded and informed as you learn how small, manageable changes can support your child’s long-term health and reduce the overwhelm that often comes with heavy health topics like Cancer in this episode.

Let’s explore what could be triggering your child’s eczema — from the obvious to the ones most parents never suspect.

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re continuing our eczema series with a look at the everyday (and not-so-everyday) culprits behind your child’s flare-ups. If you feel like you’ve tried every cream, eliminated the “usual” foods, and still find yourself dealing with itchy skin or constant inflammation — this episode will help you connect the dots in a new way.

Here's what we cover:

• The most common food triggers we see in clinic (including ones that fly under the radar).
• The difference between allergies and intolerances — and why it’s not always as obvious as a reaction.
• How histamine intolerance could be quietly fuelling eczema and other allergy-like symptoms.
• Surprising environmental triggers like dust mites, mold, and even household products that could be playing a role.

🎧 Tune in to feel more equipped and empowered as you explore what’s actually driving your child’s eczema. Whether you’re just getting started or looking for more clarity, we’re here to help you take a thoughtful next step.

Let’s talk about what no one tells you about steroid creams — and what your child’s skin might really be asking for instead.

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re continuing our eczema series by exploring the role of steroid creams in eczema treatment. If your child has been prescribed steroid creams and you’re wondering if they’re the only way forward — this episode is a must-listen.

We’re not here to create fear or guilt — just to bring clarity and help you make more informed decisions. Because when we understand how steroid creams work (and their limitations), we can take empowered steps toward long-term skin health that actually last.

Here’s what we cover:

• Why steroid creams are a short-term tool, not a long-term solution — and what they aren’t doing for your child’s skin.
• The risks of relying on steroid creams too often or for too long, including skin thinning, increased sensitivity, and Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW).
• How to start reducing steroid cream use safely while addressing the underlying causes of eczema.
• Practical, nourishing alternatives that support your child’s skin barrier and immune health from the inside out.

🎧 Tune in to feel more informed and confident as you navigate eczema with a more holistic lens. We’re here to help you move beyond the endless cycle of flare-ups and creams — and guide you toward sustainable, naturopathic support that works for your family.

Eczema can feel like a never-ending cycle of creams, flare-ups, and frustration — but what if the real solution lies beneath the surface?

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re kicking off a new eczema series with something we talk about with parents all the time: what’s really going on underneath your child’s eczema. If you’ve been relying on topical creams (especially steroid-based ones) without lasting results, this episode will help you understand a more holistic path forward.

In this episode, we’re exploring three often-missed underlying causes of eczema and how we can gently support the body from the inside out for long-term skin health.

Here’s what we cover:

• How immune dysregulation plays a role in most eczema cases — and why it’s more than just “sensitive skin”
• The link between the gut and skin, and why things like constipation, fussy eating, or food sensitivities matter.
• What an impaired skin barrier means for your child — and how to strengthen it from within.
• Why it’s time to rethink the “just use a cream” approach, and explore a deeper, more lasting solution.

Let’s explore the root causes behind frequent childhood illness and how we can gently build stronger immunity together.

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re talking about something so many parents ask us about: Why does my child keep getting sick? If you feel like you’re constantly managing coughs, colds, and round-the-clock sniffles, you’re not alone — and there is something we can do about it.

In this episode, we’re sharing a naturopathic perspective on what might be happening underneath repeat infections and how we can support our kids’ immune systems in a more thoughtful, long-term way without panic or pressure.

Here’s what we cover:

• What nutrient deficiencies (like iron, zinc, and vitamin D) could be quietly weakening our child’s immune response.
• The role of dairy sensitivity in triggering recurring inflammation and infections.
• Why gut microbiome diversity is a game-changer when it comes to immune resilience — and the simple ways we can nurture it with food and lifestyle.
• How we can step away from the cycle of medications and antibiotics, and lean into nourishment, connection, and empowered decision-making.
• Simple, food-first strategies you can try at home plus when it’s time to get extra support.
