GAPS Diet 4 You

03/09/2025

Just had a close encounter with nettles and feeling sore? Here in the UK they are still growing so there's time to use these little 'wonder weeds' to your advantage. Nicknamed 'poor man's spinach' they can be steamed and are rich in iron and other nutrients. But mainly, they have an amazing antihistamine effect! Finding it difficult to cope with histamine reactions like itchy eyes, hives, running nose and hard to sleep at night? Grab a handful of nettle leaves (use gloves!) and steep in boiling water for a few minutes for a calming tea. Or pick even more and simmer with chicken stock for a refreshing soup - why not swirl some cream or creme fraiche in for that professional look? Keep some in the freezer for all-year-round use and ... bless the stingers!

Great news folks!

📢 HUGE NEWS FOR WILDLIFE 📢

After decades of campaigning, the government have just announced a ban on toxic lead ammunition in outdoor shooting across Great Britain.

This will save the lives of thousands of waterbirds in the UK and ensure a healthier future for wetlands, wildlife and people.

Thank you to every one of the 15,000 people who sent letters calling for a ban on lead ammunition – this wouldn’t have been possible without you.

Thank you to our amazing coalition partners RSPB, Wild Justice, CHEM Trust and Wildlife and Countryside Link for working with us to make this possible.

The scientifically-based GAPS protocol uses carefully prepared, natural foods to enable the gut to heal and release the body’s ability to repair itself.

A pesticide known to kill bees has been authorised for farmers to use on sugar beet crops in England. The deadly neonicotinoid (or neonic), thiamethoxam, was banned EU-wide in 2018 because of the wide-spread harm it causes.

When you're trying to decide if a food is worth buying, ask yourself "Would my great-great grandma recognize this?" if its a processed food, probably not! Shouldn't diet be one of the first things we change to improve health?
