Welcome to the No Plant GAPS hub

The Heart Behind No Plant GAPS

No Plant GAPS exists to support individuals with the most severe, complex, and long-standing health challenges, especially when conventional medicine and even standard nutritional approaches have failed.

No Plant GAPS is a therapeutic, phase-based dietary protocol created for the most compromised digestive and systemic states. This work is grounded in the decades of clinical experience of Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride, whose research and medical practice led to the development of the GAPS framework and, ultimately, No Plant GAPS. Her work has helped reshape the understanding of the gut–brain–immune connection and has brought hope to families facing conditions once thought to be irreversible.

Alongside this foundation, Monika Holland MBNP, CGC, CNT, a GAPS coach, Mineral Balancing Practicioner and educator, is deeply committed to sharing this work with care and integrity. Through both client experience and lived practice, Monika supports individuals and families in understanding and implementing No Plant GAPS safely, thoughtfully, and at a pace that honours the body’s unique capacity to heal.

This work is for those who have tried "everything" yet continue to struggle with severe digestive damage, neurological symptoms, autoimmune conditions, extreme sensitivities, and complex detox responses. At its core, No Plant GAPS is about precision, patience, and deep respect for the body’s innate intelligence, creating the right internal environment so true repair and restoration can begin.

Our Vision

Our vision is a world where chronic and complex illness is no longer viewed as permanent or untreatable, but as a state the body can move out of when given the right conditions to heal.

Inspired by the work of Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride, we envision No Plant GAPS becoming a trusted therapeutic path for the most vulnerable and sensitive individuals, restoring gut integrity, calming the nervous system, supporting detoxification, and rebuilding metabolic and immune resilience.

Our Mission

Our mission is to change the narrative around severe and chronic illness by providing clear education, structure, and support through the No Plant GAPS protocol.

We do this by:

  • Teaching the protocol exactly as it was designed by Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride, phase by phase, with clinical reasoning behind each step

  • Supporting individuals through complex responses such as detox, die-off, oxalate dumping, histamine reactions, and nervous system dysregulation

  • Honouring the body’s pace and capacity, especially in highly sensitive and depleted states

  • Empowering individuals and families with knowledge, confidence, and practical tools for true healing

At its core, No Plant GAPS is about creating the right internal environment so the body can do what it is naturally designed to do: repair, regenerate, and restore balance.
