In this powerful conversation, paediatric specialist, author and entrepreneur Dr Lethabo Machaba joins Kay and Toyer Jappie to explore the hidden stress many children carry in today’s fast-paced world. Together, they unpack the impact of chronic stress on children’s developing brains and bodies, the connection between gut health, inflammation and emotional wellbeing, and why so many children are becoming increasingly dysregulated. This episode offers parents a compassionate, science-informed perspective on modern childhood, neurodiversity, regulation, and practical ways to support children’s wellbeing from the inside out.
