I’d be really interested to see what you eat/drink on this protocol while doing gaps. My family did gaps for about a year, and I feel like it really messed up our metabolisms. I’ve been reading more and more about raising metabolism, but I at the same time it’s clear that we have gut issues. It would be awesome to find a way to deal with both issues at the same time!
I am interested to hear your perspective on this as well as I have a daughter on GAPS right now.
How is this book different than Eat For Heat?
If you have read Eat for Heat, then you may not find this book a necessary read. But I think this is the best introduction to metabolic concepts and I think it covers more info.
Is this book and your other ebooks available in print? I’d like to get them for my Grandmother who doesn’t know how to use computers and doesn’t have internet access. I know she would love this stuff!!!
I suffer from Hashimoto’s disease, PCOS, and going through Menopause. So wish I could afford to purchase this book. Unfortunately with hubbies recent medical issues it will have to wait.
Janet, have you been able to buy this book?
I am very excited to start healing my metabolism! Despite doing everything “right” (Going to a naturopath and chiropractor, NAET treatments, strict Paleo plus grass-fed butter, low oxalates, etc.) my health has been crazy to the point that I haven’t been able to tolerate almost any food without getting very sick. I realized I was stressing to the point of my body constantly being in a sympathetic state and I can’t heal that way! So I started eating more normally again today and feel so free and just restored to trusting God with bringing health into my life. Trust and freedom are powerful! I read some of Matt Stone’s work but he’s a little out-there for me, I am hoping to buy this Nourished Metabolism book.
Hey Lauren! I am wondering if you could help me with a quick question. Matt recommends taking a spoonful of sugar and salt under the tongue if you’re having a rough metabolism dip. I haven’t had white sugar in the house in a long time. Did you find something that worked for you?
I use half a date sprinkled with salt or 1/2 teaspoon of raw honey sprinkled with salt. I’m a big fan of that trick 🙂
Thank you! I will try both of those!
