Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride
“A Pioneer in Gut Healing and Whole-Body Wellness!” – Body Wellness
For thousands of years, healers have known that the state of the gut determines the state of the body. Few modern voices have brought this truth to life more powerfully than Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, the creator of the GAPS Nutritional Protocol.
Her Vision and Work
Dr. Natasha is a medical doctor with postgraduate degrees in both neurology and human nutrition. Through her clinical practice, she made a groundbreaking observation: many patients with mental and physical health challenges also had underlying digestive issues. When the gut was healed, their symptoms often improved — sometimes dramatically.
Out of these insights, she developed the GAPS concept — Gut and Psychology/Physiology Syndrome. This holistic framework explains how gut health is connected not just to digestion, but to immunity, behavior, learning, and chronic disease.
The GAPS Nutritional Protocol
“All disease begins in the gut.” — Hippocrates, 460–370 BC
Dr. Natasha’s pioneering approach is more than a diet. It is a therapeutic system built around healing, nutrient-dense foods that repair the gut lining, restore the microbiome, and bring the body back into balance.
The protocol has been used by families worldwide to address:
- Digestive disorders (IBS, constipation, diarrhea)
- Immune challenges (allergies, asthma, eczema)
- Neurological and behavioral conditions (ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression)
- Chronic illness and autoimmune disorders
The beauty of the GAPS Protocol lies in its simplicity: it uses food as medicine, helping the body do what it was designed to do — heal itself.
