About this episode
In this episode of theWhere Parents Talk, host Lianne Castelino speaks with Marcus Fernandez — founder and CEO of the largest homeopathy school in the U.K., bestselling author, longtime educator, and father of two — about natural medicine and family health.
With more than 30 years of experience in the field, Fernandez shares how public perception of homeopathy has evolved, why more parents are exploring natural remedies, and how simple, accessible tools can support children’s well-being. He explains the principles behind homeopathy, common misconceptions, and how natural and conventional medicine can complement one another rather than divide families.
Fernandez offers real-life examples from his work and parenting journey — from soothing colic at 2 a.m. to building resilience during cold and flu season. He also breaks down his top go-to remedies for bumps, fevers, teething, sleep deprivation, and more, emphasizing the importance of education, intuition, and everyday home practices.
Takeaways:
Understanding the impact of hormonal changes during adolescence is crucial for parents to support their children's emotional health. Fostering open communication about device usage can enhance independence while addressing potential bullying and social media challenges. It's important for parents to educate themselves on consent and relationships to navigate their child's interactions effectively. Homeopathy offers a holistic approach to physical and emotional health, emphasizing the body's ability to heal itself naturally. Practicing discipline through established routines can significantly improve mental health outcomes for tweens and teens. As parents, we must be present and observant, as this helps us understand our children's needs and strengthens our relationship with them.
