The Wellness Mama Podcast

Katie Wells started the Wellness Mama blog more than a decade ago after her own health questions turned into a full research project, and the podcast is now one of the most established shows in the natural health space. Katie brings on doctors, researchers, herbalists and other parents to talk through the day to day decisions families actually face, from what to put in school lunches to how to handle screen time, sleep problems, hormonal shifts and the chemicals hiding in household products. She has six kids of her own and tends to ask the questions a tired parent would ask, which keeps the conversations grounded even when a guest is explaining something technical. Episodes cover a wide range, including mineral balance, thyroid health, trauma healing, homeschooling, breathwork and regenerative farming, and Katie is good at pulling out the one or two things a listener can actually try this week. She is skeptical without being cynical, and she has changed her own mind on the air when new evidence came in. For parents who want to take a more active role in their household's health without falling down every wellness rabbit hole on the internet, this podcast is a steady, practical companion with hundreds of episodes already in the archive.
