GAPS Training

Snacking on GAPS does not have to be complicated. In fact, many of the foods already built into the GAPS Diet can easily double as simple, nourishing snacks. Think meat stock, slow-cooked proteins, and healthy animal fats that support digestion and help keep you satisfied between meals. When you shift your mindset away from typical “snack foods” and instead focus on nutrient-dense, easy-to-digest options, snacking becomes less about convenience and more about supporting your gut and overall health.

A few things to keep in mind while snacking on GAPS:

✅Prioritizing healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar and support steady energy throughout the day.

✅Animal proteins and fats provide the building blocks your body needs for repair and healing.

✅Be mindful of proper GAPS cooking and preparation techniques, like soaking and fermenting foods, especially nuts, seeds, legumes, and dairy, so they are easier to digest and better absorbed.

Keeping these at the center of your snacks can make a meaningful difference in how you feel.

Have you heard people say that touching receipts is bad? What’s the big deal, you might wonder.

Most thermal paper receipts are coated with chemicals like BPA or BPS, which are used to help the ink appear when heat is applied. The problem is that these chemicals are endocrine disruptors, meaning they can interfere with your hormones. Unlike chemicals sealed inside plastic, the coating on receipts can easily transfer to your skin when you handle them—especially if your hands are warm, sweaty, or have lotion on them.

Research has shown that these chemicals can absorb through the skin and enter the bloodstream. Over time, repeated exposure may contribute to hormone imbalance, fertility issues, and other health concerns.

It’s a small everyday exposure most people never think about. Simple habits like declining receipts, washing your hands after handling them, or choosing digital receipts can help reduce that exposure.

Sometimes the little things we interact with every day matter more than we realize.
