Our time spent on the GAPS diet really changed everything for our family. It healed my son, Raleigh of severe eczema, food sensitivities, edema and asthma. Two years ago, Raleigh successfully transitioned off GAPS and was moved to the Weston A Price "diet". Even though we are not currently on GAPS as a family there… Continue reading GAPS Things I Still Implement Even Though We Are Not Currently on GAPS
GAPS Coaching Through the Summer
Summer can be a great time to start the GAPS diet. Unless lots and lots of travel is on your summer to-do list then I would recommend beginning in Summer if at all possible. Summer allows for a slower life-pace, longer days, more rest (typically) and the ability to slow down and ease your way… Continue reading GAPS Coaching Through the Summer
GAPS Diet Food Pyramid
In light of the new food pyramid that was recently released (basically they flipped the old one) GAPS has also put out a GAPS diet pyramid. I thought I'd break it down for you. GAPS is a unique gut healing protocol - I prefer to call it that instead of a "diet" since diet has… Continue reading GAPS Diet Food Pyramid
Books I’m Currently Reading
I love to know what people are reading, especially in the health and wellness space. So I thought I'd share some of the books I'm currently trying to wade my way through. Some I have finished, others I'm cracking away...very slowly these days since I am now in my chauffeuring era with my teenage children.… Continue reading Books I’m Currently Reading
Need A Meal Plan?
The GAPS diet is challenging enough without having to think through and plan out every meal. Years ago I created a 30-day Full GAPS meal plan for those trying to wade into the waters of GAPS. The meal plan started with dinners that I had created over the course of a couple years on GAPS.… Continue reading Need A Meal Plan?
Gentle Ways to Detox
Detoxing seems to get a bad wrap these days. I've heard a lot of people say you don't need to detox, you can't really do anything to help your body detox, it just does it on its own through your liver. I disagree. While it is true the liver does detox for you, there are… Continue reading Gentle Ways to Detox
Probiotics and GAPS: What Dr. Natasha Recommends
Probiotics is a word everyone knows now-a-days. I've been on my own learning journey when it comes to this wide world of probiotics. GAPS has taught me a great deal about the importance of probiotics and from where it is best to get them. Overall, I prefer getting my probiotics from a variety of fermented… Continue reading Probiotics and GAPS: What Dr. Natasha Recommends

How To Get The Most Out of A Whole Chicken
I have found one of the most efficient ways to feed a family these days is with a whole chicken. We are a family of four, who eats more like a family of six! That taxes the grocery bill for sure. One thing I try and do weekly, or at least every other week, is… Continue reading How To Get The Most Out of A Whole Chicken
The Three Pillars of GAPS: Meat Stock
Meat stock is revolutionary. I'm not even kidding. GAPS taught me so much about how food is medicine, how the simplest foods often taste the best and that cooking is really calming (for me, at least). But before I began GAPS for my son, Raleigh, in 2017 I had been wading into the more "natural"… Continue reading The Three Pillars of GAPS: Meat Stock
