    Episode 246: Why Some Kids React: Real Stories of Eczema, Allergies & What Helped

    01/02/2026 | 24 mins.
    Eczema and Allergies in Kids: Why Reactions Keep Happening
    This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re continuing our eczema and allergies series with a deeply grounding episode that brings everything we’ve been discussing into real life.
    Instead of theory or quick fixes, this conversation walks through three real stories of children with eczema and allergies — each with a very different picture, but a shared theme: symptoms weren’t the full story. These families had tried creams, antihistamines, food elimination, and constant management, yet still felt stuck and overwhelmed.
    We also share how looking beyond symptoms and into gut health, immune regulation, and individual drivers helped shift the picture in meaningful, lasting ways without extreme restriction or fear-based approaches.
    In this episode, we explore:
    Why children with eczema and allergies can look completely different on the surface, yet share common patterns of immune dysregulation
    How histamine intolerance, gut microbiome imbalance, and reduced immune tolerance can quietly drive ongoing flare-ups
    Why removing trigger foods or allergens alone is often not enough and how repeated food elimination can sometimes increase reactivity over time
    What changes when the question shifts from “What is my child reacting to?” to “Why is their immune system reacting this way?”
    🎧 Tune in to hear how addressing gut health and immune balance helped real children experience calmer skin, fewer reactions, and a better quality of life and why there may be more options available than you’ve been led to believe.

    Episode 245: Could Food Elimination Be Making Your Child’s Eczema or Allergies Worse?

    25/01/2026 | 20 mins.
    Food Elimination Diets for Kids: When They Help and When They Make Eczema Worse
    When your child’s eczema or allergies flare, it’s natural to start scanning the plate. Dairy goes first. Then gluten. Then eggs. Then anything that feels even remotely suspicious. And yet… the flare-ups keep coming.
    This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re continuing our Eczema and Allergies Series by taking a closer look at food elimination — not from a place of blame, but from a place of understanding. We explore why cutting more and more foods can sometimes leave families feeling stuck, stressed, and confused, and why food isn’t always the real issue driving ongoing reactions.
    In this episode, we unpack:
    • Why food elimination feels like the most logical first step when eczema or allergies show up and why it often becomes unsustainable.
    • How repeated restriction can quietly impact gut health, nutrient intake, and immune balance over time.
    • The difference between avoiding a true allergy and navigating food sensitivities with a longer-term plan.
     • What to focus on instead when your goal is calmer skin, fewer reactions, and a more resilient immune system.
    🎧 Tune in to understand why eczema and allergies are rarely “just about food,” and how shifting your focus from constant elimination to internal support can help your child’s body respond more calmly, now and in the future.

    Episode 244: What the Medical Approach Is Missing When It Comes to Eczema & Allergies

    18/01/2026 | 24 mins.
    Why Managing Symptoms Isn’t Enough for Kids With Eczema and Allergies
    This week on the podcast, we’re continuing our eczema and allergies series with topic two and it’s a juicy one! This time, we’re talking about something so many parents feel in their bones but don’t always have the words for: when it comes to eczema and allergies, why does it feel like we’re constantly managing symptoms… but rarely getting real answers? 💛
    If you’ve ever felt stuck in the loop of creams, antihistamines, food avoidance, and flare-ups that keep coming back, this episode is for you. We will gently unpack why the conventional medical approach can be incredibly helpful in the short term (and sometimes truly life-saving), but often misses the deeper “why” behind a child’s reactive immune system.
    This is a big-picture episode that helps you step back, feel less alone, and start thinking about longer-term support in a way that’s practical and hopeful, not overwhelming.
    Here’s what we cover:
    What most parents are offered in the medical system, and why creams, antihistamines, and avoidance can help in the short term but don’t always shift the bigger picture.
    Why allergy testing can feel confusing, including the difference between immediate IgE reactions and the slower, harder-to-identify intolerances and sensitivities many families suspect.
    The hidden downsides of long-term restrictive diets, and why removing more foods doesn’t automatically build tolerance or resilience (and can create new challenges over time).
    The four key areas that can change the long-term picture, including gut health, microbiome diversity, barrier integrity, and immune regulation (and why these aren’t always addressed in standard care).
    🎧 Tune in to learn what may be missing from the usual “manage the symptoms” approach, and how to start thinking about eczema and allergies in a way that feels more hopeful, more empowering, and more sustainable for real family life.

    Episode 243: Why So Many Kids Have Eczema & Allergies Today — And What Parents Can (Actually) Do About It

    11/01/2026 | 18 mins.
    Welcome to our very first Natural Super Kids Podcast episode of 2026! We hope you’ve had a beautiful festive season with your family, wherever you are in the world. ❄️☀️
    This week on the podcast, we’re kicking off a new series with a topic so many parents are quietly struggling with: why eczema and allergies are becoming more common in kids (affecting almost 30% of children) and what actually helps beyond creams and avoidance.
    If your child has eczema, food sensitivities, hay fever, asthma, or “reacts to everything,” this episode will help you zoom out and understand what’s really going on inside their immune system without blame, guilt, or overwhelm.
    Have a listen as we break down the bigger picture behind rising allergy rates, explain why this isn’t something you caused, and introduce a more hopeful, long-term way to support your child’s health from the inside out.
    In this episode, we explore:
    Why eczema and allergies are so common in kids today, and why this rise can’t be explained by genetics alone.
    How modern lifestyles affect the immune system, including what the hygiene hypothesis really means (and what it doesn’t).
    The role of the gut and microbiome in eczema and allergic disease, and why immune regulation matters more than suppression.
    What parents can realistically influence at home, even when wider environmental factors feel out of your control.
    🎧 Tune in to better understand why your child’s immune system may be over-reactive and why there is more that can be done than just managing symptoms.

    Episode 242: Keeping Family Health Simple (and Joyful) Over the Holidays

    14/12/2025 | 10 mins.
    Holiday Parenting Tips for Kids:  (Less Stress, More Connection)
    This week on the podcast, we’re wrapping up the year with a short, gentle episode designed to meet you exactly where you are right now — tired, busy, and likely juggling a lot.
    As the final episode of the year, we share a heartfelt reminder that the holiday season isn’t about getting everything “right” with your kids’ health. It’s about connection, presence, and doing the best you can with the capacity you have. This episode is intentionally light, supportive, and realistic for families navigating the end-of-year rush.
    Rather than focusing on rules or restrictions, we talk about coming back to simple foundations that support family health without adding more pressure to your plate.
    Here’s what we cover:
    Why perfection isn’t the goal during the holidays and how letting go of unrealistic expectations can ease stress for the whole family.
    The foundational health basics that matter most right now, including sleep, simple nourishment, and gentle movement.
    How to reduce emotional overload during a season that can bring grief, complex family dynamics, and self-imposed pressure.
    Ways to prioritise connection and joy, even when things feel busy, messy, or far from Instagram-perfect.
    🎧 Tune in for a calming end-of-year reminder to slow down, focus on what truly matters, and support your family’s health in a way that feels sustainable, not exhausting.
    This episode is a permission slip to simplify, say no where needed, and trust that doing less (with intention) can often support your family more.
