Comprehensive Nutrition and Lifestyle Support for Chronic Diseases
PandaNutrition
This nutritional therapy service provides dietary consultations based on the principles of the GAPS diet to aid in the recovery from chronic illnesses. GAPS stands for Gut and Psychology/Physiology Syndrome, a nutritional protocol developed by Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride.
GAPS is a root-cause dietary approach based on the concept that all disease begins in the gut—a conclusion famously espoused by Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician and so-called Father of Medicine.
The GAPS protocol is specially designed to help address and alleviate the symptoms of chronic diseases, including autoimmunity, neurological conditions, hormone dysregulation, psychiatric problems, and digestive disorders.
GAPS disorders, although distinct from one another, share an underlying cause and disordered physiological processes. Increased intestinal permeability, abnormal gut flora, and immune dysfunction form a trifecta of factors that predispose to illness and must be specifically targeted to halt disease progression and resolve its origin.
Through my service, I aim to educate on the pertinence of nutrition in disease states and demonstrate how adopting certain lifestyle changes can meet the body's needs for healing, enabling you to achieve freedom from debility.

The initial consultation lasts 2 hours. During this meeting the client’s health history, blood test results, and current condition are assessed using the pre-clinic questionnaire, which is emailed beforehand. This time is used to answer any questions and ensure the client is fully equipped with the knowledge to implement the nutritional protocol successfully. The recommended programme will be based on the GAPS diet and include lifestyle information and meal ideas.
The first follow-up appointment lasts 1.5 hours and involves evaluating the client's adherence to the protocol, identifying any issues that may have arisen, and adjusting the current plan if necessary. Every effort is made to support the client’s transition and help them understand how the body heals and what to expect during recovery. Supplementation options are also discussed, as are the advantages/disadvantages of further testing.
The second follow-up consultation lasts 1.5 hours. This appointment is usually offered to clients who have followed the GAPS diet for a few months. During this meeting, we will discuss the effectiveness of the current protocol stage and consider the reintroduction of certain foods and how to implement them correctly. Additional supplement advice is also provided.

Disease mechanisms may be complex; however, rehabilitation from longstanding illness doesn’t have to be. Through simplified dietary methods, we can most effectively optimise nutrient intake, thereby enhancing immune function and whole-body health.
We have the power to reverse so much of what has been done to us. For we don’t just have a right to life but a right to live it.
