GAPS Coaching with Lyndsy Moffatt

What does it actually look like to watch your non-verbal, severely autistic child come back to you through food? In this episode, Joe and Kayleigh sit down with Lyndsy Moffatt, GAPS coach and founder of the Autism Biomedical Research Foundation, who did exactly that.Lyndsy's son was diagnosed at three with severe autism. Meltdowns lasting over an hour, elopement, extreme picky eating, 28 food allergies, and an ATEC score of 163. Today, he's 16, eats almost anything, and scores a two.The journey wasn't linear. A single plate of cheese and crackers at a birthday party wiped out six months of progress overnight. But Lyndsy came back, restarted GAPS from scratch, and this time built the protocol around the one element she believes most people overlook: meat stock.In this conversation, Lyndsy shares what she's learned coaching parents of non-verbal children through the GAPS Introduction Diet, why she removes all dairy regardless of what the standard protocol suggests, how the gut governs everything from folate absorption to the effectiveness of every other therapy, and why a parent's belief in their child's capacity to heal matters as much as anything on the plate.She also opens up about the Autism Biomedical Research Foundation, which she founded to fund functional lab testing for families who can't afford it, and why she sees GAPS as the missing link that makes everything else work better.If you've been told recovery isn't possible, this episode is for you.
