The Truth About Tylenol, Antibiotics, and Your Child’s Health with Kate Tietje

As parents, we all want to do what’s best for our kids, especially when they’re sick. But so often, the default response is to grab Tylenol, antibiotics, or conventional over-the-counter meds—without really questioning what’s in them or how they impact long-term health. What if there was a better way?

My guest today, Kate Tietje, is on a mission to provide truly clean, natural, and effective alternatives to conventional medicine. Her and her husband Ben are the founders of Earthley, a company dedicated to making herbal remedies accessible to all—without the synthetic fillers, preservatives, and isolated compounds that dominate the wellness market. 

With over 16 years of experience in herbalism, they believe in harnessing the whole plant for healing, rather than isolating compounds like Western medicine does.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into why so many kids seem to be sick all the time, how conventional medicine can sometimes create an endless cycle of illness, and the natural remedies that can support kids’ immune systems without harmful side effects. 

If you’ve ever wondered how to swap out Tylenol, support your child after antibiotics, or build a natural medicine cabinet that actually works, this episode is for you!
