Episode 173: Do your child's behavioural challenges stem from the gut?

In this week's podcast episode, Jess is talking about whether your child's behavioural challenges could be attributed to the state of their gut.   At Natural Super Kids, it's observed that tummy pain, constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, and fussy eating often impact behavior negatively. Often, when addressing digestive concerns parents notice an improvement in their children's behaviour.  In today's episode, Jess will cover:The difficulty of identifying digestive issues in children;Having open conversations around bowel motions and keeping track of how often children are going to the toilet;Questions to ask your kids to determine if they are having digestive issues and empower your children to be more in tune with their body;How the diversity of your gut microbiome influences neurotransmitter production;The link between neurodiversity and the gut microbiome. The insights Jess shares in today's episode highlight the importance of gut microbiome diversity and its influence on neurotransmitter production, emphasizing the connection between the gut and the brain.
