pulling a tumor out of my boob with black salve.
{a.k.a. 1 of the most traumatic, life-changing processes of my life}
Ever since Dr. Becky & I did this interview (almost a month ago!), I’ve been DYING to share it with you. Like it felt like I literally could not wait. But the day is finally here! Here it is!
Whew! I finally did it! I can’t tell you how long I’ve been putting this off. Analyzing the cost of a functional doctor vs. a naturopath vs. doing GAPS perfectly + a GAPS practitioner is just NOT my idea of a good time!
Hey Hey! So Today I am posting a video blog instead of my usual written version. Hope you enjoy!

The scene is set: You’ve figured out how to do GAPS perfectly, and you are probably on GAPS Intro. You consume at least 5 cups of meat stock per day, drink your probiotic brines to tolerance, get a lot of rest, do detox support on a daily basis, and you’ve gotten really comfortable with enemas.
That’s when foreign crazy stuff starts coming out your butt. I know. Graphic. And that’s what started happening to me over a year ago. At first I thought I was dying. Then I learned that they were parasites.

Learning what Candida was and the problems it caused was the first thing ever that made me go on a special diet. The reality is that candida, or yeast, can be blamed for just about anything. Brain fog, chronic exhaustion, adrenal fatigue, hormone problems, leaky gut, digestive issues, food sensitivities, depression or anxiety, frequent UTIs, rashes, joint pain, you name it. Everyone is SO WILLING to point the finger at yeast. As in ‘it’s so evil, now we need to kill/ wage war on it or you wont get better.’ But honestly, that way of thinking is for noobs.

So I have to preface this article by saying it contains the best kept secret known to humans. And this is because when you understand how your Blood Sugar literally controls your life, you’ll understand that there is nothing wrong with you as a person. All your ‘bad’ decisions, all the crappy food you’ve eaten [when trying not to], all the awful sh** you’ve said in the heat of the moment that you didn’t mean, it can all be explained by your blood sugar levels.
Well, just to address the elephant in the room, between the stress of covid, systems of white supremacy + oppression, and an impending revolution, everything is different now. And the uncertainty of it all may make you feel like the walls are closing in. Trapped. Or feeling powerless *slash* hopeless, which is essentially what stress is.
The purpose of this interview is to show what is possible on my 3 month GAPS immersion program when you give it an honest effort! Even if you ‘fall off the wagon’ from time-to-time. 😉

That moment of doubt when your symptoms don’t go away or start to get worse even though you may have been on GAPS for months at this point. When you really start to wonder, “Is this even working?”
