|The GAPS Diet – Healing the gut, healing the mind
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011
I was fortunate enough to take part in a very special training this past week-end up in Seattle with Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride. Dr. Natasha is a medical doctor and neurosurgeon and has studied the effects of diet and gut health on brain function, moods and behavior. With years of research and clinical work she had developed a diet protocol for practitioners to use called The GAPS Diet – which stands for Gut & Psychology Syndrome.
What is the relationship among the common disorders we are seeing so often these days – food intolerance, asthma, eczema, dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, behavioral problems, autism, and autoimmune issues? Why do we see so many conditions developing in adulthood like depression, bi-polar disorder, psychological and psychiatric disorders, even schizophrenia? Dr. Natasha proposes that the underlying disorder that manifests in so many different conditions (there are over 200 autoimmune disorders identified) lies in the gut! It is certainly not a new idea that our stomach and intestines are a central figure in the overall health of the human being. Hippocrates said “All diseases begin in the gut” as well as “Let food be your medicine…” Our modern diet served up with plenty of refined, high glycemic products manufactured to make our lives easier – is actually a double edged sword. We may be eating faster at the end of the day but we’re paying a very high price for it – and so are our children.
Come learn more about GAPS at an introduction lecture I’ll be giving next Wednesday, October 5th. We’ll meet at the New Seasons – 7 Corners store located at 1954 SE Division St. at 7:00pm. I am so excited to share this information – please call the store to register at (503)445-2888 – or email maria@naturecuresclinic.com for more information.
I look forward to seeing you!
Love & Health,
Maria
