This week on the podcast, we’re diving into an often-overlooked but essential part of kids' nutrition—fibre! While we’ve touched on it in previous episodes, we’ve never dedicated an entire discussion to just how essential fibre is for kids’ health and overall well-being. Many children aren’t getting enough fibre in their diets, and it’s impacting their digestion, gut microbiome, immunity, and even their mood and behaviour. In this episode, we cover: Why many kids aren’t eating enough fibre and the surprising statistics on fibre deficiency in Australian children. The crucial role fibre plays in digestion, gut health, and overall well-being—including how it supports the gut microbiome. Common health issues linked to a lack of fibre in the diet that affect your kid's ability to excrete toxins, energy, mood and weight. How a lack of fibre can affect the gut-brain axis, potentially leading to mood and behavioral challenges in children. Practical, kid-friendly ways to increase fibre intake, including simple food swaps, creative meal ideas, and increasing whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes in children's diets, while also ensuring adequate hydration. If you’re looking for realistic strategies to help your family eat more fibre without the struggle, this episode is packed with valuable insights that’ll have you walk away with actionable tips to increase the fibre intake in your family's diet.

Are you tired of hearing about how strict elimination diets (that are almost always impossible to implement) are the only answer to your child’s health issues? You’re not alone. This week on the podcast we’re breaking down how to improve your child’s gut health without feeling overwhelmed by complicated protocols, conflicting advice, and the thought of restricting the few foods your child will eat. Instead, we’re here to offer a simple, effective approach that is easy for parents to implement. In this episode we cover: > Why gut health is the foundation of your child’s health and how improving it has a flow on effect for every other system in their body. > How to cut through the confusion and avoid the overwhelm of restrictive diets and complex plans such as the GAPS Protocol. > Why kids respond best to simple, child-specific approaches that don’t involve strict elimination diets and lots of expensive supplements that they are resistant to taking. > Our two-step approach to improving gut health: a holistic yet simple strategy designed specifically for children. If you’re ready to say goodbye to strict elimination diets and learn more about our hassle-free approach to gut health that focuses on easy, actionable steps for lasting results, this episode is for you!
