What is a Certified GAPS Coach (CGC)?

A Certified GAPS Coach supports you to implement the GAPS Diet and provide day-to-day practical support to individuals and families navigating the protocol including kitchen organization, food sourcing, cooking techniques, and understanding the different stages and detox activities.

As your GAPS Coach, I provide step-by-step guidance to implement the GAPS diet and support you in maintaining your progress. I specialize in the practical, day-to-day application of GAPS to help you achieve optimal gut health

GAPS Coach vs. GAPS Practitioner

While a GAPS practitioner prescribes the protocol, a GAPS Coach helps you put it into action. They offer practical, day-to-day support to ensure you stay on track and successfully improve your gut health.
