Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS)
Summer is proud to be the longest-practicing Certified GAPS Practitioner (CGP) in the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon. She began encorporating this powerful healing modality into her nutritional therapy practice even before the CGP credential existed, and she was part of the first class of CGPs to train and certify with GAPS founder, Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride. Summer herself has experienced deep healing through using the diet, supplementation and detoxification recomended by the Gut and Psychology Syndrome protocol. Read on for more information about what GAPS is and who the protocol can benefit. If you think that you might be a good candidate for the GAPS healing protocol, contact Summer to schedule an in-person, telephone or Skype consultation to learn more about incorporating GAPS into your life.

This is one of the reasons why what we eat and drink plays such a vital role in the condition of not only our digestive systems, but of our overall health.
