How to Introduce the GAPS Diet, if It Is Something You Need

Sep 11, 2026

Last week we discussed the GAPS Diet and today we want to share where to begin if it resonated with you.

Here are a few tips:

1. Start by introducing homemade bone broth into your daily routine, even before committing to the full protocol. One to two cups a day is a meaningful starting point for gut lining repair.
2. Reduce or eliminate refined sugars and processed foods as a parallel step, as these actively feed harmful gut bacteria and work directly against the healing process.
3. Add one fermented food to your diet each day.
4. Remove one ultra-processed item each week.

These are not dramatic overhauls. They are the same foundational principles the GAPS diet is built on, and they are a genuine starting point for anyone whose body is asking for a different kind of support. Hope our tips help.

Work with a knowledgeable healthcare practitioner if you are considering the full protocol, particularly if you are managing a complex or serious health condition.

Sincerely,
Alf and Gillian
