  • Episode 233: The Hidden Signs of Gut Imbalance in Kids You Might Be Missing
    What Parents Need to Know about Gut Imbalance in Kids.When you think of gut issues in kids, it’s easy to assume you’ll see obvious digestive symptoms like constipation or tummy aches. But what if your child’s mood swings, eczema, or constant colds were actually gut-related?This week on the podcast, we’re exploring the less obvious signs of gut imbalance in children — the ones that often get missed or mistaken for unrelated problems. We'll tackle how skin, immunity, behaviour, and even food preferences are more connected to gut health than you might realise and how focusing on this one area can simplify your child’s whole health picture.In this episode, we unpack:✅ The overlooked signs of poor gut health beyond digestion like eczema, fussy eating, and recurrent infections. ✅ Why these symptoms often get treated separately in conventional medicine and how the gut offers a unified root cause. ✅ How to spot the patterns in your child’s symptoms that point back to gut imbalance. ✅ The gentle, realistic first steps you can take to restore your child’s gut health without perfection or piles of supplements.🎧 Tune in to understand how the gut impacts everything from your child’s sleep to their mood and what you can do to support their health from the inside out.💚 Want extra support to make these changes feel doable?Join our FREE masterclass: 👉 The Proven Gut Health Approach Helping Kids Have Happier Tummies, Stronger Immunity & Calmer Moods✨ Perfect for parents navigating allergies, sickness, fussy eating, or behaviour challenges.✨ You’ll walk away with a simple, natural gut health framework you can start using straight away.Let’s take the guesswork out of gut health together. 💚This episode is proudly sponsored by my membership, the Natural Super Kids Klub.
