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

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
New Recipe: Pumpkin Curry
Years ago - another lifetime ago - I worked at a pretty famous cafe in Franklin, Tennessee called Merridee's. They had, and maybe still do, the most amazing curried chicken salad.

When we began the GAPS diet in 2017 he was 4 years old and had a couple… Continue reading Reversing Cavities and Remineralizing Toothpaste
Why GAPS?
Health and wellness has become a very confusing space. How do we know which diet is best? Supplements: take them or don't take them? If you take them, don't buy them from Amazon, so who can you trust? Vegetable oils vs saturated animal fats: that is the question! Vegan vs Carnivore for health. Do we… Continue reading Why GAPS?

A little bit of preparation goes a long way. Jumping into the GAPS diet without any preparation will likely make things much harder and may even lead to you quitting due to how challenging the diet is on a daily basis. I spent about a week doing some prep work before I put my son,… Continue reading Starting GAPS Soon? What You Should Do To Prepare
The Plod
My son, Raleigh, spent about six years on the GAPS diet. He was four when he began and started the journey of coming off GAPS at age 10. It has been almost eight years since we began (June of 2017) and over the years I have had many people marvel at what we've done. Not… Continue reading The Plod
Intro Is a Dance
The GAPS Introduction diet is one of the most intimidating parts of the GAPS diet. It requires steadfast patience and a dedicated "plodding" through each stage to the next. Intro is meant to be a dance. There are six stages, each a tad more challenging than the previous, that propel the individual forward into deeper… Continue reading Intro Is a Dance
