Episode 202: Sugar Overload: The Hidden Impact on Kids' Health and How to Cut Back

Sugar is everywhere in our modern diet, often hiding under different names and sneaking into our kids’ meals in ways we don’t even realise. In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the hidden effects of sugar on children’s health - especially when it comes to their gut health, immune health, mood and behaviour. Plus, we’ll share simple, practical ways to start reducing sugar without overwhelming yourself or your family. In this episode we cover:
