What's Causing Chronic Ear Infections, ADD, Eczema in our Kids? with Dr. Ana Maria Temple

Welcome back to another episode of the Balancing Chaos podcast. Today, I'm thrilled to chat with Dr. Anna Maria Temple (‪@ana-mariatemplemd7216‬) a renowned pediatrician, bestselling author, and a passionate advocate for holistic children's wellness.
Dr. Temple shares her personal journey and the profound impact that diet has on children's health. She discusses the challenging experiences with her own children, who suffer from conditions like eczema, seasonal allergies, and ADHD, and how these challenges lead her to a major lifestyle shift. By moving her family away from processed foods and added sugars, she witnesses a remarkable transformation in their health over five years.
Here are some highlights from our conversation:
🥑 The Changing Food Industry: Over the last 50 years, more than 10,000 chemicals have been added to our food supply, many of which aren't rigorously tested and are banned in other countries. Dr. Temple explains how these additives contribute to chronic health issues in children.
🏆 Rethinking Rewards: Dr. Temple emphasizes the importance of not using food as a reward, focusing instead on quality time as positive reinforcement.
🤰 Practical Parenting Tips: She offers practical tips for parents looking to improve their children's diets, such as prioritizing fruits and vegetables over packaged snacks and making gradual dietary changes.
🩺 Gut Health and Eczema: We delve into the connection between gut health and skin conditions like eczema, discussing how antibiotics, stress, and nutrient deficiencies can impact a child’s microbiome and overall health. Eczema requires healing from the inside out.
