Taking a child through the GAPS diet is no easy feat. There is an emotional side of GAPS that should never be discounted. It is real and significant. So significant I would argue it greatly affects the healing process. It seems to be fairly well known in 2021 that our mental health is a very… Continue reading The Happiness Factor

The GAPS diet presents many challenges and cost is certainly one of them. When we first implemented the diet for our son, Raleigh, we struggled greatly to stretch the food budget wide enough to accomodate his needs. I would have loved to put the entire family on GAPS but to be able to afford the… Continue reading GAPS on a budget

***This blog post is not meant as medical advice. This is my personal experience using this product. Raleigh's journey detoxing heavy metals utilizing TRS has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride.

When we were preparing to begin the GAPS diet back in early 2017 we mentally prepared ourselves for two years. We could sign on for two years. It seemed long, but at that point, considering how sick Raleigh was, we were committed. Then two years came and went. Raleigh was a vastly different child at… Continue reading Surprised by Joy

Why are all the kids so sick? This is a question I get asked quite often in my DMs on my Instagram account (Findingforrester4). It's a good one too. It is relevant and real. I've spent the last 5 years trying to figure this out. The scales tipped for me back in 2014 when Raleigh… Continue reading Why are all the kids so sick?

I would like to say that a journey like this is always moving and flowing. That would be a lie, though.
