The GAPS intro diet

Oh hello there. You’ve found some very old content. Please read the disclaimer on this page before thinking I’m still a total sheep who has been sucked into a bone-broth worshipping fad diet. Been there, learned from that and am now a much less rigid human.

In my last post I mentioned how I have undertaken the GAPS diet. I explained that GAPS is a gut healing protocol that seals the gut lining, re balances gut flora and ultimately guides the body back to optimal function* – groovy, huh?

What does the GAPS diet involve exactly? In a nutshell, foodgasm-worthy delights. The ‘introduction diet’ is the initial recovery period for the gut and is divided into 6 stages. After the ‘patient’ has worked through these stages they transition to ‘Full GAPS’.

I’m doing the GAPS diet

Oh hello there. You’ve found some very old content. Please read the disclaimer on this page before thinking I’m still a total sheep who has been sucked into a bone-broth worshipping fad diet. Been there, learned from that and am now a much less rigid human.

Dear ones, we meet again!

The sun is up, the breeze is mild and I am inhaling the luscious scents wafting from the bone broth keeping warm in my slow cooker. I get the feeling it’s going to be a beautiful day.

Before I get too Pollyanna on Prozac, I’m going to get straight to the point. I’m embarking on the GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) Diet; a gut sealing and healing diet, formulated by Dr Natasha Campbell McBride.

We deserve magic!

Does anyone ever get that ‘too good to be true’ feeling? You know, that sensation where everything feels utterly dreamy. You only see happy outcomes ahead, that is, until you begin to question and second guess.

  • ‘Why is everything working out for me?’
  • ‘I haven’t worked hard enough to deserve this!’
  • ‘Life just doesn’t get this good … does it?’

I’ve definitely had these whispers before. In fact, the better my life gets, the more I seem tempted to question why.

Until now that it!

Routine Or Rut?

I may be a little (and by a little, I mean a lot) guilty of creating routines, becoming overly attached to them and then feeling guilty if I don’t stick to them every. single. day.

Spectacular Soul Saturday: Damian Kristof

I didn’t quite wet myself (but I did come close) when I accompanied my friend Amber to her Chiropractic appointment last Saturday and as we entered the reception area I caught my first (in-the-flesh) glimpse of poo-revearing rockstar, Damian Kristof.

Damo is co-founder of the Wellness Couch with Marcus Pearce, co-host of podcast The Wellness Guys and co-host of podcast 100 not out (again with Marcus Pearce – get a room you two, honestly .. what’s that, it’s called your recording studio. My bad, as you were).

He is also a dedicated naturopath and chiropracter based in Melbourne. He even has his own cereal line called Forage which is putting mainstream cereal companies to absolute shame.

Meet Damo …
