✨You’re Not Overreacting✨

If something feels off with your child —
Sleep 😴
Behavior 🗣️
Immune issues 🦠
Chronic complaints 💊

👉You are not overreacting.
👉You are advocating.

And that matters.⭐️

Zinc (Parent Favorite for Immunity + Picky Eaters)

Is your child getting enough zinc? 👀

Most kids aren’t.

And zinc plays a much bigger role than parents realize…

✨ Supports a strong immune system
✨ Helps picky eaters improve appetite
✨ Supports healthy skin (eczema, acne, rashes)
✨ Essential for gut repair and healing
✨ Plays a role in mood, focus, and nervous system balance

Low zinc can show up as:
• Frequent colds
• Slow wound healing
• White spots on nails
• Poor appetite
• Sensory challenges
• Mood swings

Here’s the important part 👇
Not all zinc supplements are absorbed the same — and dosing matters in kids.

Too little won’t help.
Too much can disrupt copper balance.

That’s why individualized guidance is key.

If you’ve been wondering whether zinc could help your child, send us a message. We’re happy to talk through symptoms and help you decide if testing or supplementation makes sense 💛

This is such an exciting season for Natural Kids!

Because of your trust and support, we now have enough families in multiple regions to officially travel statewide. What started as a small-town dream is growing and we are so grateful for each and every one of you and your referrals!!

We are coming to a town near you in March:

📍 March 4 – Colleton Chiropractic
📍 March 11 – Aiken Home Visits
📍 March 18 – Florence / Sumter Area
📍 March 25 – Bluffton / Beaufort
📍 March 27 – Traveler’s Rest

This growth means more children across South Carolina are getting root-cause, integrative pediatric care and to us that is something worth celebrating!!!

If your child is struggling with ADHD, anxiety, PANS/PANDAS, gut issues, mold exposure, eczema, asthma, or chronic symptoms and you’ve felt unheard… this is your opportunity.

🗓 Schedule now before it’s too late.
Travel days have limited appointment times and fill quickly.

If no times are available online, please reach out directly! We will always try to accommodate when possible!

Thank you for helping Natural Kids grow statewide. We are just getting started!!

God is so good!!

✨Before you panic — take a breath.

🦠 Parasites aren’t just something you get from traveling overseas.
Kids can be exposed through:
• Playing in dirt or sand
• Pets
• Undercooked food
• Daycare/school settings
• Poor hand washing (because… kids 😅)

Most of the time, the body handles exposures just fine.

But sometimes we see signs that make us dig deeper:
• Chronic tummy aches
• Bloating or constipation
• Itchy bottom (especially at night)
• Teeth grinding
• Sleep disturbances
• Skin rashes
• Unexplained anxiety or mood swings
• Persistent eosinophils on labs

At Natural Kids, we don’t assume. We assess.

We look at symptoms, history, labs (when appropriate), gut health, and immune resilience before recommending support.

And no — not every child needs a “parasite cleanse.”

But if your child has chronic gut or behavior symptoms that haven’t improved with the basics, it may be something worth evaluating.

Root cause care means we look at the whole picture. 💛

📩 Message us if you want to explore what testing or support might look like.

✨ “What if your child’s symptoms are signals — not problems?” ✨

Looking for a different kind of pediatric care?

At Natural Kids, we believe children deserve more than rushed visits and quick prescriptions. We take the time to dig deeper, listen closely, and partner with families to uncover the root cause of symptoms — not just mask them.

We support kids struggling with:
🌿 Chronic illness
🌿 PANS/PANDAS
🌿 Anxiety & mood challenges
🌿 ADHD & focus concerns
🌿 Gut issues & picky eating
🌿 Immune dysfunction
🌿 Recurring infections

Our approach blends functional medicine, targeted nutrition, nervous system regulation, and individualized care plans tailored specifically to your child.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed or told “they’ll grow out of it,” we’re here to tell you — there is another way. 💛

📅 Now welcoming new patients!
Send us a message to learn more or schedule your appointment today.

Your child’s healing journey can start here.

🌿 Supplement Sunday | Omega-3s for Growing Brains

One of the most researched nutrients for kids’ brain health?

✨ Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA)

Omega-3s may support:
✔️ Focus and attention
✔️ Mood regulation
✔️ Emotional resilience
✔️ Immune balance
✔️ Reduced inflammation

Many kids today consume far more omega-6s than omega-3s — which can tip the body toward inflammation.

But here’s the key 👇
Not all fish oils are created equal.
Quality, purity, EPA:DHA ratio, and dosing matter — especially for kids.

If you’ve wondered whether omega-3s could help your child, comment “OMEGA” or send us a message. We’re happy to guide you toward the right option for your child’s needs 💚
