Episode 5: Ask the Naturopath! Can antibiotics affect kids' behaviour?

Today we're going to do our very first Ask the Naturopath episode! In these episodes, which I'm hoping to do once a month, I am going to answer a question from one of our Natural Super Kids Klub members. I want to pick questions that will allow us to delve a bit deeper into some of the really important concepts when it comes to kids’ health.  In this very first Ask the Naturopath episode I am answering our Klub member Ambers question "Miss 4 is on antibiotics for an ear infection. Her behaviour, I think since being on antibiotics, has been hugely emotional. Could this be attributed? Anything I can do to help her?"While answering Amber's question on the episode we talk about The possible causes of kids’ behavioral changes in relation to infection or antibiotic use.How overuse of antibiotics can affect the good bacteria in a child’s gut microbiome which may lead to mood or behavioral changes. We delve deeper into this topic as we explore medication additives, the gut-brain connection, the importance of replenishing good gut bacteria after antibiotic use and so much more. Episode linksGet on the waitlist for the Natural Super Kids KLUB Read about food additives in medications Read  about antibiotics and how to help kids recover Read about the link between gut health and behaviour Book a consult with our Naturopath hereThis episode is proudly sponsored by my membership, the Natural Super Kids Klub.
