In this exciting episode of What’s Happening Inside Me?, we explore the unsung heroes of the digestive system—the accessory organs!  These organs may not be part of the main digestive tract, but they play essential roles in helping our bodies break down food and stay healthy.  Designed for curious kids ages 4–12, this episode introduces listeners to the teeth, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. We learn how they each help with digestion—from chewing and saliva to enzymes and bile. While learning about the pancreas, we also dive into a kid-friendly explanation of diabetes and how the body manages sugar.  Hosted by an emergency medicine PA and her 7-year-old daughter, this fun and educational podcast brings complex topics to life in a way that's easy to understand and full of surprises. Perfect for families, teachers, school nurses, and caregivers looking for screen-free STEM learning.

🎧 Take a ride through the world of digestive helpers and find out what’s really happening inside you!
