Today, healthy fatty acid deficiency is epidemic. This deficiency leads to cardiovascular and immune issues and other disorders. What do you do if you’re HFA deficient?
As a Nutritional Therapy practitioner, I’ve chosen to focus primarily on the GAPS™ Protocol, in my work with mothers and children. From my own experiences and those of my clients, I believe it to be one of the most powerful and nourishing protocols available, especially as it combines diet, supplementation and detoxification. Even though it is my primary focus, there is also room for adaptation and it fits with my conviction that we are all bio-individuals. There are no two beings exactly alike in their nutritional needs and bio-chemical make-up. Holding that thought, however, there are some basic supplements that I (and Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, creator of the GAPS™ Protocol) have found to be of help to almost everyone:
- Therapeutic strength probiotics
- High quality cod liver oil
- Essential fatty acids in the form of fish oil & nut/seed blends
- Digestive supplements (as needed)
