In this latest episode, naturopath Georgia, tackles one of the most common questions parents ask: Do children really need vitamins and supplements? Rather than offering a simple yes or no, she dives deep into the science and wisdom behind supplementation, sharing why "food first" should be every parent's mantra.
You'll discover:
- Why you can't "out-supplement" a poor diet and the vital importance of whole foods
- When supplements are actually necessary (and when they're just expensive urine)
- The hidden dangers of random supplementation, especially with iron
- Smart guidelines for choosing multivitamins and probiotics for kids
- Why those attractive gummy vitamins might not be your best choice
- The critical role of gut health in nutrient absorption
- How anxiety and stress might be affecting your child's nutrition
Perhaps most valuably, she explains why treating symptoms without addressing root causes is like building a house without a foundation - it might look good temporarily, but it won't stand the test of time.
Whether you're considering supplements for your children or already giving them, this episode provides the clarity and guidance you need to make informed decisions about your family's health. Georgia's practical, no-nonsense approach cuts through the marketing hype and social media noise to deliver advice you can trust.
