In this insightful episode of The Revital Health Podcast, I sit down with Gloria Cicchini to explore the connection between children’s health and behavioural challenges. Gloria, a highly experienced naturopath and life coach, shares her expertise on the underlying factors contributing to learning and behavioural difficulties and outlines practical strategies to support children in reaching their full potential.
We examine the key elements influencing behaviour and cognitive function, including dietary and environmental factors, and discuss the crucial steps that parents and caregivers can take to address these concerns. Gloria highlights the importance of chemical- and preservative-free foods, the impact of heavy metals and toxins, and simple yet effective ways families can begin making positive changes at home.
With over 23 years of experience in the natural medicine industry, Gloria runs a naturopathic consultancy in Perth, focusing on herbal and nutritional interventions tailored to children with behavioural disorders. She also provides coaching to support parents in reducing stress and regaining their energy while working with clients managing a range of health conditions. Beyond her clinical work, Gloria is the Senior Lecturer at Endeavour College of Natural Medicine’s Perth campus, where she inspires the next generation of practitioners.
Her academic background includes a Graduate Certificate in Evidence-Based Complementary Medicine and a Bachelor of Medicines Management with Professional Honours in Complementary Medicine from the University of Tasmania. She also holds a Certificate IV in Life Coaching from the Coaching Institute. Passionate about the profound impact of nutrition, Gloria believes that every meal presents an opportunity to nourish the body or contribute to illness, advocating for a whole-food diet free from artificial additives. She also emphasises the role of stress management techniques such as yoga, meditation, and mindfulness in maintaining overall well-being.
