In this week’s episode of the Pure Health Podcast, we’re turning the spotlight to children’s health — a topic close to our hearts at Pure Health. Kirsty is joined by naturopath and clinical nutritionist Tessa, who shares her journey into family health, shaped by her own family’s experiences with gut issues, food intolerances, coeliac disease, preterm birth, and immune challenges.
Together, we explore why so many kids today struggle with eczema, fussy eating, gut issues, and recurrent infections — and how nutrition can play a powerful role in supporting resilience, behaviour, mood, and overall wellbeing.
This conversation isn’t about perfection or pressure at mealtimes — it’s about giving parents the tools, confidence, and clarity to support their children’s health in realistic, nourishing ways.
✅ The most common health concerns in kids today — and why they’re on the rise

✅ Busting common myths about kids’ nutrition — and what really matters most
“You don’t need to do everything perfectly — small, consistent changes make the biggest difference for your child’s health.”
Whether your child is struggling with eczema, gut issues, or picky eating, or you simply want to lay strong foundations for lifelong health, this episode will leave you with practical tools and a sense of empowerment as a parent.
