WHY GAPS™?

“IF A TREE GETS ILL, BEFORE ATTENDING TO ITS LEAVES AND BRANCHES, WE MUST ATTEND TO ITS ROOTS FIRST. THE ROOTS OF OUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, SO THAT IS WHERE WE MUST START TO ALLOW THE BODY TO HEAL ALL ITS ‘BRANCHES AND TREES.”

-Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride

Start Your Healing Journey

“Our child had been struggling with severe digestive issues and food sensitivities for years, and we felt like we had tried everything. Then we found Julie. She introduced us to the GAPS protocol, and within a few months, we saw incredible changes. Our child’s digestion improved, their energy levels increased, and even their mood became more stable. Julie was so patient, knowledgeable, and supportive, guiding us through every step. We are so grateful for the healing and transformation she helped bring to our family.”

- Sam Wilcox

“I struggled with autoimmune issues and had tried everything. Julie introduced me to the GAPS diet, and within a few weeks, I noticed a significant improvement. Her guidance and support were invaluable. I’ve gained control of my health, and it’s truly empowering. She’s a dedicated, compassionate coach, and I’m so grateful for her help!”

- Olivia Knight

“Julie changed my perspective on food and health. I had been suffering from chronic inflammation, and her GAPS-based approach helped me heal from the inside out. She made the process simple and supported me every step of the way. I’m now living pain-free and full of vitality. I highly recommend her to anyone ready for real change.”

- Leeanne Carey

Milk kefir ✨

These little babies are one of the most powerful things you can add into your daily routine… and it’s been used for generations.

What you’re seeing here are kefir grains.

They’re alive, a natural culture made up of beneficial bacteria and yeasts that work together to transform milk into something your gut can actually recognise and use.

Unlike many store-bought “probiotics”, kefir is rich, diverse, and constantly regenerating. It doesn’t just add bacteria… it helps support the environment in your gut so the good ones can actually thrive.

For many people, it’s also much easier to digest than regular milk. The fermentation process breaks down lactose, pre-digests proteins, and enhances nutrient absorption.

From a gut healing perspective, this is exactly what we’re trying to do: support digestion, reduce stress on the body, and gently rebuild the microbiome.

Start slow. Even a teaspoon can be enough in the beginning, especially if your gut is sensitive. Let the body guide you.

Simple, traditional foods like this are where real healing begins. Not in a pill… but in what we do daily.

If this resonates and you’re wanting to understand how to bring foods like this into your routine properly, reach out or book in via my website 🧡

Here we are, stepping into a new year, 2026

And before you go head-first into another New Year diet…you know the New Year, New you jazz,
before you cut foods, count calories, or decide your body needs fixing…
I really encourage you to read my next blog first.

This isn’t about a new eating plan or a quick reset.

It’s about understanding why weight loss can feel so hard for some bodies, even when you’re doing “all the right things”.

In this blog, I explore weight, hunger and cravings through: gut health and the GAPS framework
• functional nutrition
• genetics (SmartDNA)
• hormones like leptin and ghrelin
• sleep, stress and nervous system regulation
Because weight gain, constant hunger, snacking, cravings and slow progress are often biological responses, not a lack of discipline.

For many people, dieting makes things worse, not better, because the body doesn’t feel safe enough to let go.

Your body is always communicating.
When we learn to listen instead of punish, real change becomes possible.

If 2025 was filled with restriction, frustration or yo-yoing, let 2026 be different.

Let it be the year you stop fighting your body and start working with it.

Blog coming soon 🤍

✨️ Happy Healthy New Year ✨️

Healing happens cell by cell… and what you choose to feed your body shapes that healing process.

Your body is rebuilding itself every single day. New cells, new tissue, new signaling pathways. Those cells are built from what you eat, how you sleep, the minerals you absorb, the light you’re exposed to, and the stress you carry.

From a food-as-medicine perspective, nourishing your cells looks like prioritising wild-caught fish for omega-3s, colourful vegetables and berries for antioxidants, meat stock and collagen-rich foods to support repair, and healthy fats like olive oil and avocado to strengthen cell membranes. Healing herbs, such as turmeric and ginger, along with medicinal mushrooms, can further calm inflammation and support the body’s natural healing intelligence.

You don’t have to do everything at once. Start with better inputs. Remove what’s breaking the body down. Prioritise rest. Healing isn’t about perfection, it’s about creating the right environment for the body to do what it’s designed to do.

Make sure you’re following my account for more food-as-medicine and gut-health-focused wellness content.

“Where there is GAPS, there is HOPE! I don’t believe that there are any situations or any person on this planet that cannot be helped, whose life cannot be made better.

Many chronic diseases can be reversed! If doctors don’t know something, it does not mean that the knowledge doesn’t exist elsewhere.

Nobody is beyond hope. Nobody!”

My 72-Hour Fermented Sourdough (Ancestral Style)

Here’s a little look at my sourdough process from start to finish, slow, simple, and deeply nourishing.

I fermented this loaf for 72 hours, just like our ancestors did.

Long ferments allow the wild bacteria and yeasts to predigest the gluten, break down phytic acid, lower the carb load, and turn grains into something far more digestible and gut-friendly.

This is the way our bodies were designed to eat bread, not the rushed, commercial versions we see today.

For anyone who’s been on GAPS™ for years, or is transitioning off the protocol, a properly fermented sourdough can be a beautiful, gentle option when your gut is ready. It’s not something for the early stages, but with healing, time, and the return of strong digestion… real sourdough becomes food again, not a trigger.

There’s something so grounding about using traditional methods, slow fermentation, natural starters, and patience. The flavour, the smell, the crust… worth every minute.

If you want me to share the method I used, comment SOURDOUGH below.

Why I Make Fish Stock and Why You Should Too

Most people throw away fish heads… but in traditional cultures, this was the most prized part of the catch.

Today I made a simple fish stock from the heads and frames of the fish we caught nothing fancy, just real food the way our bodies understand.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m l lucky that my boy absolutely loves fishing, he’s only 9, and with a bit of help from Daddy, he brings home the most beautiful fresh fish for us. There is nothing better than cooking something your own child proudly caught.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fish heads are rich in:
✨ Collagen (gut lining support)
✨ Iodine + trace minerals (thyroid + metabolism)
✨ Omega-3s (brain + inflammation)
✨ Gelatin (soothing, repairing, grounding)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you simmer the head, bones, skin and fins gently with onion, carrot, bay leaf and a little sea salt, you get one of the most nourishing stocks you can make ,especially for anyone healing their digestion, nervous system, or immune system.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is true “nose-to-tail” nutrition, low cost, zero waste, incredibly nutrient-dense, and perfectly aligned with GAPS principles.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I use this stock for:
sipping warm with Celtic sea salt
soups and stews
poaching fish
adding minerals back into the body when you’re run-down
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’ve never tried making fish stock before, this is your sign.

Your gut will thank you. 💛

✨ COLDS & FLU AREN’T ALWAYS A SIGN YOU’RE “SICK”…

Sometimes they’re a sign your body is CLEANSING. ✨

Your body is always working FOR you - clearing waste, balancing electrolytes, moving toxins, shifting emotions.

Mucus?
A sign your liver is binding waste so it can be safely removed.

Aches? Sodium + toxins moving out of the cells.

Fatigue? Your body redirecting energy into healing.

Instead of suppressing the process, support it:

🌿 Warm meat stock + soups
🌿 Hydration with minerals
🌿 Sweating (sauna/Epsom baths)
🌿 Soaked linseeds
🌿 kick-a-germ drink
🌿 Tallow chest rub
🌿 Rest & stillness

A cold or flu once a year can simply mean your body is still able to cleanse.
But if you’re getting sick constantly, your immune system may be asking for deeper support.

✨ Your symptoms are messages - not mistakes.

✨ Honour the process. Support the process. Trust the process.

Your body whispers before it screams…
But most people miss the early signs.

Bloating, fatigue, skin flares, mood dips, cravings - these aren’t random symptoms.
They’re messages.
Signals.
Your body asking for support.

You are not broken - your body is speaking.

When you learn how to listen, everything changes. 💛

I’ve spoken to so many people lately who are trying so hard to be healthy…
and still feel awful.

Bloated. Exhausted. Moody. Inflamed.
And they start to think something’s wrong with THEM.

But here’s the truth:
Your body isn’t failing.
It’s communicating.

Your symptoms are signals - asking for support, not silence.

This week’s blog breaks down EXACTLY what your symptoms mean and how to start listening to the innate intelligence of your body.

If your body has been whispering (or screaming)…
This is your sign to listen.

You’ve probably walked past shelves like this a hundred times.
Hospitals use them, pharmacies promote them, and most parents reach for them when their child is sick.

But when you look closely at the ingredients… it’s very clear why I don’t recommend these drinks for kids, gut healing, or recovery.

Many of these products contain:
• synthetic sodium + potassium
• citric acid made from black mould
• artificial colours
• artificial sweeteners (known gut disruptors)
• preservatives
• flavour chemicals

Yes - they rehydrate.
But they do it at the cost of gut health.

There are far cleaner, more nourishing options you can use at home that hydrate and support the body instead of irritating it:

✨ Celtic sea salt or Baja salt in water
✨ Meat stock (true electrolyte replenishment + gut repair)
✨ Lemon + raw honey + mineral salt
✨ Coconut water (clean brands)
✨ Sauerkraut juice, whey or water kefir (enzymes + minerals)

Just because something is normal in hospitals doesn’t make it nourishing.

Our bodies heal through minerals, whole foods, and gentle support - not chemicals and colours.

If you want help choosing clean hydration options for your family, I’m here. 💛

Still guessing what’s wrong with your body?

You don’t need to.
With SmartDNA testing, we can see exactly what your body needs - not what Google or the latest trend says.

Your genes tell a story:
→ What nutrients you’re missing
→ How your body detoxes
→ What foods and supplements truly suit you
→ Which genes are switched off or inflamed

Because of my expertise in GAPS and Functional Nutrition, I’m able to interpret your results and create a comprehensive report that guides you through what your body is asking for, not just a quick fix.

This is a lifetime report, not a short-term trend. You’ll understand your body on a deeper level forever.

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, inflamed, or like “something’s off” - this is your sign to look deeper.

Start with your DNA.

You’re Not Lazy!!

You’re burnt out.

You’re doing everything “right” eating clean, trying to move your body, even taking the supplements, but your energy still crashes by 3pm.

You’re tired, snappy, and running on fumes.

Here’s what no one tells you:
When your body’s this depleted, it’s not motivation you need, it’s information.

That’s why I use SmartDNA testing with bloods.

Together, they show what your body’s been trying to tell you all along, what’s switched off, what’s deficient, and what needs support right now.

No more guessing. No more pushing through.
Just real answers, real data, and a plan that actually fits you.

✨ This is where healing begins, you've got this!

✨Your body is incredibly intelligent.✨

When you give it the right fuel, it knows exactly what to do with it.

Holistic Nutrition helps you see food as medicine - not just calories or macros, but nourishment that directly influences your energy, mood, hormones, and gut health.

When you start to understand this, you move from fighting your body to working with it.

This is what I teach through my GAPS-informed, functional approach:

→ How different foods affect your body & mind
→ Personalized nutrition (not one-size-fits-all)
→ Natural strategies for gut & hormone balance
→ How to truly support healing from the inside out

If you’re ready to reconnect with your body’s wisdom and experience lasting wellness, follow along for more guidance & recipes that support your gut and whole-body vitality.

🌿 When a friend’s feeling under the weather 🌿

You don’t show up with flowers - you show up with real nourishment 😁

A bottle of my Kick-a-Germ Drink and a few Oil of Wild Oregano capsules can do wonders.

This fiery little blend supports the immune system naturally - no synthetic stuff, just pure food medicine:

💛 Garlic – nature’s antibiotic
💛 Turmeric – powerful anti-inflammatory
💛 Ginger – boosts circulation and eases nausea
💛 Cayenne pepper – gets the blood moving and clears congestion
💛 Lemon – alkalising and rich in vitamin C
💛 Raw honey – soothing, mineral-rich, and full of enzymes

A spoonful (or a shot!) a few times a day can make a big difference when bugs are going around.

Because caring for your friends means bringing them back to balance, the Nourished with Love way. 🌿

✨ Save this post for the next time you or your family feels a bug coming on- it could be your natural first line of defence. 🌿

Most people ignore the little signs their body gives - until they become symptoms.

But every change in your skin, hair, energy, or mood is your body trying to tell you something.

✨ Acne, hair loss, fatigue, dizziness, muscle cramps…
They’re not random.
They’re nutrient clues - messages from your cells that minerals are out of balance.

When I read your blood results alongside your SmartDNA, we can see exactly what your body truly needs - no guessing, just precision nourishment.

💛 Save this post so you can come back to it whenever your body gives you little hints that something’s off.
Your body isn’t broken - it’s communicating. You just have to learn the language.

I’ll be honest - I don’t celebrate Halloween. But each year, I watch little ones struggle after the sugar rush.

Meltdowns, eczema flare-ups, tummy aches, restless sleep… and parents wondering, “What happened?”

It’s not just the sugar. It’s the artificial colours, seed oils, and preservatives that today’s treats are packed with. These little bodies simply weren’t designed to handle that kind of load.

The good news? You can keep the fun - and protect their health. Homemade marshmallows, coconut butter cups, and yogurt bark are beautiful swaps that calm the gut instead of inflaming it.

I’ve shared my favourite nourishing Halloween recipes on the blog - plus a few thoughts on why awareness (not perfection) matters most.

🌿 The Magic of Ferments 🌿

These humble jars might look simple, but they’re alive with transformation. Inside them, nature is doing what she does best turning raw ingredients into gut-healing powerhouses.

When we ferment, we’re inviting beneficial bacteria to work for us, breaking down anti-nutrients, enhancing vitamins, and creating enzymes that make food more digestible. It’s one of the oldest, most natural ways to preserve food and restore health.

✨ Sauerkraut to rebuild stomach acid
✨ Beet kvass to cleanse and energise
✨ Kefir to balance the microbiome
✨ Fermented veggies to support detox pathways

Ferments aren’t just “healthy” they’re a living link between us and the microbial world that sustains life.

If you’re on GAPS or any healing journey, a spoonful or sip of something fermented each day can make all the difference. Start small, go slow, and listen to your body healing begins with nourishment, not restriction.

💛 What’s your favourite ferment right now?

Tell me below, or which one you’d love to try first.

Tomorrow morning I’ll break my 90-hour fast - straight into the GAPS Intro Stages.

This pot of homemade chicken stock is my first meal, rich with minerals, gelatin, and deep nourishment. Fasting isn’t about deprivation, it’s about rest and repair, giving the body space to heal.

This fast felt deeper and slower than my last one, but exactly what I needed, a full reset for my gut, hormones, and nervous system.

Next stop: gentle GAPS intro foods, rebuilding from the inside out 💛

Your health starts with water

We talk so much about food, but what about the water you drink and cook with every single day? Tap water often carries chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals, and even microplastics. Bottled water isn’t the solution either - it’s expensive, wasteful, and not always better than the tap.

Clean, mineral-rich water supports your gut, your energy, your skin, and your whole family’s wellbeing. That’s why I’ve written a new blog all about why clean water matters for everyone (not just those on GAPS), and how to choose a filter that actually does the job.

If you’re curious about why my filters are the gold standard, and how they compare to cheaper options on the market, this is the blog for you. I now proudly stock these water filters in my shop for New Zealand & Australia.

Health begins with the basics - let’s start with water. Our bodies need hydration to thrive! Learn more about the importance of water in nutrition: https://wix.to/FcOhaqZ

✨ Building Our Recipe Library, One Pot at a Time ✨

Today my 6-year-old and I were in the kitchen making a nourishing chicken and mushroom soup. She was so focused, stirring the pot with a glass of golden stock ready to pour in, and it turned out beautifully.

This recipe has now been added to the recipe library I’m working on - a growing collection of simple, gut-loving meals to support health, healing, and connection at the table.

She was so proud of herself and ate every last bit 🫶

For me, food is never just fuel. It’s tradition, learning, and love poured into every bowl, and the best part is that even little hands can take part in creating it. 💛

✨ The future of medicine is not just about treating illness and symptoms, it’s about unlocking the body’s innate ability to heal from within ✨

The future of medicine is not just about treating illness, it’s about unlocking the body’s innate ability to heal.

Our physical body is an organic masterpiece, designed with an incredible inbuilt intelligence. Every cell, tissue, and organ works together with one goal, to keep you alive, thriving, and balanced. With the right support, your body can do extraordinary things… even things you may have been told were impossible.

Through SmartDNA testing, we gain a personalised map of your genetic strengths and vulnerabilities. This allows us to tailor nutrition and lifestyle strategies unique to you, no more guessing.

Using GAPS principles, we rebuild the very foundations of health - the gut and nervous system, with deeply nourishing foods like meat stock, fermented vegetables, and healthy fats.

And through functional nutrition, we fine-tune your nutrient intake, supporting your body’s systems so they can communicate and work in harmony.

The magic happens when we stop fighting against the body and start working with it - nourishing, supporting, and giving it the tools it needs to heal from the inside out.

💛 Your body is capable of so much more than you’ve been led to believe. The key is unlocking that potential, one step at a time.

🌿 Struggling with your health and feeling like no one’s connecting the dots?

You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

I offer personalised support using the GAPS Protocol, genetic and microbiome testing, and functional nutrition to help your body gently return to balance. This work is for adults and children navigating:

✨ Autoimmune issues like coeliac, Hashimoto’s, or type 1 diabetes
✨ Autism, sensory challenges, and neurodevelopmental concerns
✨ Gut troubles like bloating, constipation, or food sensitivities
✨ Fatigue, fogginess, skin flare-ups, or just feeling "off"

Together, we explore the root causes, looking at your nutrition, lifestyle, genes, and gut health, to create a simple, doable plan that fits you.

What you might start to notice:
✨More energy and clarity
✨Calmer digestion and fewer flare-ups
✨A deeper understanding of your body, and what it needs to thrive

If you’re ready for a supportive, down-to-earth approach that focuses on the whole you, book a free discovery call at www.nourishedwithlove.nz 🌱
