GAPS Intro. 4th time’s the Charm!
I began writing this post in early August when we began the GAPS intro diet again. Then managing life on intro for the whole family plus blogging about it became too much for me so I stopped writing and focused on what matters most. I wanted to share it with you anyhow though for those who are considering the GAPS intro for the first time or as a repeat. ************************************* I made the decision to start my family on GAPS intro once again with very little warning (read about that here GAPS Intro Once Again). (apparently I like doing things like that. Read Why we started the GAPS Diet.) One day I decided we needed it (especially me and little J) and after looking at my calender realized the next couple of weeks would be the best time I would...

Read More2012 Year in Review
What a year 2012 has been. I have been taking some time lately to reflect back over the year. The good and the bad, the victories and the defeats. As I look over this year I think about how sick, weak and hopeless I was in the spring. Then I think about how getting my cavitaitons dealt with has been a turning point in my health journey. Learning about anaerobic fermentation and Pickl-It jars has also been a big change for the better this year. 2012 was my first full year as a blogger as well. I have learned and grown so much this year! I started with just a handful of friends and family reading me on blogger. Now I have a self hosted blog with more than 2000 followers on Facebook and hundreds getting my posts in...

Cold Thermogenesis Challenge Starts Today!
Here’s a video for some inspiration for you. The ice man takes a cold dip So last week I shared about Dr Kruse and his Cold Thermogenesis protocol. Step one is putting your face into ice water daily to begin to get used to the cold. I have been doing it myself for a few days and have learned a few things. I’m also working my way through his blog posts as fast as I can (they are super dense) and have learned a bunch from that as well. First I’ll review. You need to dip your face in 50 degree water once a day. Keep it up as long as you can stand it and until your skin starts to turn pale pink/white then quit. It is best if you do this after a high protein meal and...

2 years on GAPS: Part 3
I am doing a series of blog posts on our first 2 years on GAPS. There is one for each of us. This is part 3. It is the story of my youngest. She was our impetus for starting GAPS when we did but since her story is more complicated I have saved it till now to tell. To read part 1 about my older daughter go here and part 2 about me go here. This ended up being a very long post so I have broken it down into two. Check back tomorrow for the rest of the story. To tell J’s story I have to go back to her newborn days. With both children my midwife discovered that I had a yeast infection while doing an internal within a day or two of labor starting. Both...

MTHFRade
In case you need to know what MTHFR is see MTHFR Part 1 Dr Ben Lynch posted this post about a drink he invented MTHFRade a week or two ago. I was reminded of it the other day when my friend Starlene from Gaps Diet Journey posted on my Facebook wall asking if I had tried it. That was the push I needed to go ahead and order what I needed and try it out. I was able to order everything through Amazon and it arrived very quickly. You need these 3 products. He also suggests a vitamin C powder but that isn’t allowed on the Low Oxalate diet so I skipped that and I use lemon juice in it’s place. I took his recipe (linked above) and made up my own version. I take 1/3 of a cap of...
