Are you new to GAPS?

Getting Started on GAPS (GSOG) is a online, self-paced course designed for the person just beginning their GAPS healing journey. This course covers the basic topics and techniques you will need to implement the GAPS healing protocol for you or your family. 

Getting Started on GAPS (GSOG)

The course is designed to be the companion to Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride’s books, Gut and Psychology Syndrome, or Gut and Physiology Syndrome. Her books provide the science behind GAPS symptoms, and why this protocol supports your body to heal. And while she does provide all the needed basics of the protocol, including Stages, recipes, and timing, many people find it difficult to implement the GAPS Protocol from reading the book alone. That’s why we created this course at the request of GAPS International.

The GSOG course is here to help you implement the protocol. In the course, there are articles and videos that dive deeper into topics like “Learning to Listen to Your Body,” “Healing, Detox and Die-Off Reactions,” and “Catabolic and Anabolic Balance,” as well as individual assignments to help you practice cooking techniques, and checklists for things like shopping or detoxing your house. Finally, there are in-depth modules about each Stage of the GAPS Diet to help you better understand what the goal of that Stage is. And the course contains so much more! Make sure to check out all the module content listed below. Keep scrolling!
