Episode 218: 3 Things to Consider If Your Child Is Always Getting Sick

Jessica Donovan Episode 218

Let’s explore the root causes behind frequent childhood illness and how we can gently build stronger immunity together.

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re talking about something so many parents ask us about: Why does my child keep getting sick? If you feel like you’re constantly managing coughs, colds, and round-the-clock sniffles, you’re not alone — and there is something we can do about it.

In this episode, we’re sharing a naturopathic perspective on what might be happening underneath repeat infections and how we can support our kids’ immune systems in a more thoughtful, long-term way without panic or pressure.

Here’s what we cover:

  • What nutrient deficiencies (like iron, zinc, and vitamin D) could be quietly weakening our child’s immune response.
  • The role of dairy sensitivity in triggering recurring inflammation and infections.
  • Why gut microbiome diversity is a game-changer when it comes to immune resilience — and the simple ways we can nurture it with food and lifestyle.
  • How we can step away from the cycle of medications and antibiotics, and lean into nourishment, connection, and empowered decision-making.
  • Simple, food-first strategies you can try at home plus when it’s time to get extra support.

🎧 Tune in to feel more confident, informed, and supported the next time your child gets sick. We’re here to help you understand the “why” behind frequent illness — so you can support your child’s immune system naturally this winter and beyond.
