Episode 225: Pesticides – Why Organic Matters More for Kids

When we think of reducing toxins in our homes, we often focus on cleaning products or plastics but hidden pesticide residues on everyday produce could be quietly contributing to our kids’ toxic load.

In this episode of the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re continuing our low-tox living series with an honest conversation about pesticides, and why choosing organic matters more for children. Pesticides are everywhere — from what we eat to what we breathe in and while we can’t avoid them completely, there’s a lot we can do to minimise exposure, especially for our little ones.

Whether your family already buys some organic produce, lives rurally near farms, or you’re just beginning to learn about glyphosate and the Dirty Dozen — this episode will meet you where you are.

Here’s what we talk about in this episode:

• Why children are more vulnerable to pesticides, and how they can affect gut health, immune development, hormones, and neurodevelopment
• What glyphosate is, and why it’s one of the most concerning chemicals in our food system
• How to make smarter food swaps using the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists even on a tight budget
• Practical strategies for families living rurally, including how to reduce pesticide drift, set up cleaner home zones, and support detox pathways naturally

🎧 Tune in to feel more informed, empowered, and supported in reducing pesticide exposure at home — one practical step at a time. This episode will help you make aligned decisions around food, routines, and what goes in (and stays out of) your home environment.
