3rd ANNUAL GAPS OnCon 2023
“GAPS in the Real World: Tips for a Transformational Life Experience”
February 16-18, 2023 (Thurs. – Sat.)
Dr. Natasha and the GAPS Team are delighted to announce and invite you to our 3rd annual GAPS online conference! Our past virtual conferences were a huge success where hundreds of people joined us from around the world to learn about GAPS and related topics from our featured keynote and bonus speakers who will share practical lifestyle and protocol tips to help people at all levels of GAPS – from the beginner to the experienced – and in between!
As an OnCon attendee, you will have opportunities to interact with our expert speakers, our worldwide GAPS community, other attendees, engage with our exhibitors and sponsors, and be a part of this exciting event through our web and mobile apps. Even if you can’t attend the live event due to a schedule conflict or time zone difference, all speaker sessions will be recorded, and you’ll have access to them after the OnCon closes.
Volunteer opportunities are available (all volunteer candidates must have a mid-level computer tech skill set) and you can even create a passive stream of income by joining our GAPS OnCon Affiliate Referral Bonus Program as a trusted marketing partner.

WHAT MAKES THE GAPS NUTRITIONAL PROTOCOL DIFFERENT?
When the GAPS Nutritional Protocol was created by Dr. Natasha, it was designed within a full-spectrum framework of healing using nourishing food from the earth. This natural approach allows the body’s innate wisdom to balance itself from the inside out, at its own pace, to achieve balance (nourishment) and harmony (homeostasis).
Even though the protocol has a specific structure, it can be personalized to address the needs of any individual. These nuances aren’t always so obvious and that is where an educated GAPS person or certified Coach or Practitioner enters the picture to help themselves or their clients/patients become healthier overall.
GAPS is not a permanent elimination diet, and in fact, our goal is to help people to eat a wider variety of whole foods that are as untouched by processing as possible. It’s not always easy to find food resources of the highest quality, therefore, we encourage people on the GAPS Nutritional Protocol to adopt the concept of “good, better, best” to keep rigid tendencies to a minimum.
Other therapeutic protocols focus solely on the permanent elimination of foods with no reintroduction steps or stages, and they rely heavily on supplementation. The GAPS Nutritional Protocol takes a “food first” approach that is designed to fully nourish all body systems. We don’t discount the need for supplementation, but the goal is to keep it to a minimum due to budget concerns and potentially undesirable fillers and excipients often present in commercial supplements that can lead to unexplained reactions.
A little bit of GAPS is better than no GAPS at all, so rather than trying to create the “perfect personalized protocol” we encourage our GAPStars* to practice stress reduction through a balanced mindset. We must all be mindful to do the best we can, when we can, but to also extend ourselves and those we consult with some grace and flexibility. The GAPS Nutritional Protocol also stretches beyond food, always looking at our surroundings, including the air we breathe, the water we drink, the pots and pans we cook in, chemicals, EMFs, stress, movement and so much more. GAPS is truly a comprehensive protocol (one-stop shop), providing knowledge to our global community and teaching GAPS students to do the same on a deeper level within their own practices and non-clinical settings.
* A GAPStar is a grounded, awakened soul who intentionally travels the GAPS path to wellness by preparing real food using time-honored cooking techniques and cultivating a daily connection to community and nature.

GUT and PHYSIOLOGY SYNDROME
Dr. Natasha’s new and best-selling book!
The first GAPS book focused on learning disabilities and mental illness, but people all over the world have been using the GAPS Nutritional Protocol for healing from physical illnesses too. This inspired Dr. Natasha to write her new GAPS book, “Gut and Physiology Syndrome”, which focuses on the rest of the human body and completes the GAPS Concept. Allergies, autoimmune issues, digestive dysfunction, neurological and endocrine problems, asthma, eczema, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, chronic cystitis, arthritis, and many other chronic degenerative illnesses are covered.
Dr. Natasha believes that the link between the gut and physical/mental health, the food and drink we take, and the health of the digestive system are undeniably connected. Her deep understanding of these concepts put her advice in a class of its own.
