We've all been there - the cold weather arrives, and suddenly, little ones are plagued with painful ear infections. It's a situation that sends parents rushing to the doctor's office, hoping for a quick fix in the form of antibiotics. But what if we told you there might be a healthier, holistic approach to infections in children?

While we believe that antibiotics are effective in certain situations, they often won’t help in ear infections. Most ear infections are viral in origin, so these medications are usually unnecessary and are not the first step for ear infections. In fact, Australian guidelines advise against immediate antibiotic use. It’s recommended to observe and explore alternative solutions while waiting for the infection to go away on its own. 

In today’s podcast, I will shed light on the most common causes of ear infections and empower you with tips on how to manage them naturally.

I will discuss:

• The #1 allergenic food associated with recurrent ear infections;
• Specific vitamin and nutrient deficiencies that predispose children to ear infections;
• Three home remedies for your child’s ear infections.

Many parents are aware that children need to eat a balanced diet with plenty of nutrients to support their growth and development. But one of the most essential nutrients for general wellbeing is something you can’t get through the diet, and that's Vitamin D.

The main way that our bodies access Vitamin D is the sun – the skin synthesises Vitamin D when exposed to UVB rays. Unfortunately, low Vitamin D levels are increasingly common, even in sunny countries like Australia. In this episode, I will be discussing the benefits Vitamin D has on the immune system, allergies, and brain health.

I will be going over:

• The importance of Vitamin D for our children's health;
• The two main reasons  Vitamin D deficiency is a common issue in children;
• The 4 main factors that affect our Vitamin D levels, including:
  • Skin pigmentation, weight, the season & your location;
• How Vitamin D supports the many roles of the immune system; 
• The amazing effects Vitamin D has on the gut microbiome;
• The interesting research associated with Vitamin D and allergies and atopic conditions such as asthma and eczema; 
• How supplementing with Vitamin D can reduce the rate of asthma attacks in children;
• The benefits for children who have eczema that worsens in winter;
• Vitamin D and the growing brain;
• The importance of Vitamin D for mental health & brain health;
• The importance of Vitamin D levels for children with ADHD and ASD;
• The link between Vitamin D supplementation in pregnancy, and autism. 
• How to test Vitamin D levels;
• How to boost your children's Vitamin D levels through:
  • Food and nutrition;
  • Sun exposure, including the best time of day.
  • Supplements.

Calcium without high magnesium levels is dangerous. The calcination of cells and tissues including the brain are well documented. High industrial dairy without ample vitamin D or magnesium worsens calcification. Hypertension increases with calcium-saturated tissues and veins. Magnesium is the missing piece here.
