GAPS With Caroline Spear
Gut And Psychology Syndrome / Physiology Syndrome (GAPS)
A tried-and-tested pathway to natural digestive health.
If you’ve found this page, chances are you already know something about the GAPS approach.
And you’ll also have heard how effective it can be.
So, if you’re already on board and looking for a registered GAPS practitioner, you can jump straight to contacting me here, and we can book a chat
However, if you’re new to GAPS, you’re not sure what it’s all about but would like to learn how it can help you, please read on.
What is GAPS?
GAPS stands for Gut and Psychology Syndrome, and was first devised by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride.
The theory behind the GAPS way of eating, is that the gut and brain are linked. Health problems come about from a leaky gut – which causes issues not only in the body, but also the brain. So, by healing the gut, we can heal issues relating to the brain and the rest of the body.
The GAPS approach has been shown to be effective, time and time again.
Isn’t it very restrictive?
It takes dedication to follow the GAPS diet – there is a strict protocol to follow, in 6 phases. However, the results can be incredible and really are worth every effort. And, as an experienced practitioner, I’m here to offer support and guidance to get you there. With help, the GAPS protocol is totally achievable.
What conditions can the GAPS diet help with?
In my experience, GAPS can significantly improve the following conditions:
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Autism
- Auto immune diseases
- Bowel conditions
- Diabetes
- Depression
- Skin conditions
- Reproductive issues
Why do I need a GAPS practitioner? Can’t I follow the GAPS protocol on my own?
Yes, you can.
However, it really does help to have an experienced practitioner on hand to make GAPS work for you and your circumstances. Because, when you are in the thick of a health issue, sometimes you can’t see the wood for the trees.
For example, sometimes the body goes through a healing crisis, throwing up old symptoms, and making you feel worse before you feel better.
And this can feel quite scary, throwing you off course – it was all going so well, now you’re going backwards!
That’s where my experience comes in.
Because I know it’s all part of the process. And, as a qualified practitioner, I can guide you through these ups and down with the benefit of knowing the bigger picture, supporting you when it gets difficult, helping you to find solutions.
