Healing Gastroparesis, Naturally

01/22/2026

Thank you Kristine for sharing your 10 year journey. You are a warrior 💚

*10 Year Update*

Yes …..it's been that long. Hard to believe! 10 years ago today we made the decision to order the oils for myself and start the protocol mentioned in this group. That's where our holistic journey began. It was the best decision we ever made. I said it before and I still feel the same way….You Get Out Of This What You Put Into It! First off, if you are not familiar with the start of my journey and how sick I was, please read my past status updates in the group or read my story in Chalyce's first book.

I firmly believe to this day I would not be here if it was not for Chalyce and her protocol and all of her help over the years. Not only has she helped me but she has helped my family, friends and even our beloved pets.

As you can tell by the posts I'm rarely in the group. This tends to happen when you feel better and life is busy. We have 2 teenagers as well. Lol. So on with the update….I do well….still to this day 10 years later. I know I could even be better if I could find the time to slow down and take better care of myself. Again, you get out of it what you put into it. When I'm majorly slacking on the protocol my health is too.

I still remain for the most part medication free. Despite the laundry list of illnesses I have, some being autoimmune I keep everything pretty well in check holistically. I started this protocol because my Gastroparesis was more or less killing me, and what this has also done for all my other issues has been amazing.

I did have a setback a couple years ago after I pushed myself to go on a trip I'd never been able to do before. A long trip, flying, traveling, excursions (oh yeah I was feeling good) until I'd gotten home and the next day it took its toll and I had an awful fall. This has since caused some additional issues to deal with. However, with the help of Chalyce yet again she did more for me then the doctors had done in over a year of trying to just get a diagnosis. This protocol works if you do it and I'm not talking doing it half assed!

Chalyce will work with you if you are willing to do the work for yourself too. I was deathly ill when I came into this group. I had no other options as I had used all of them….and the doctors were letting me die. What was heart wrenching is my 6 year old son at the time was starting to have major stomach issues….this saved him from ever needing to see a doctor for it. He still does good to this day at 16 years old….unless he eats too much crap food. And as for myself, I do great as long as I don't put myself on the back burner too long.

Please, if you are wondering if you should try this?! YES YOU SHOULD! I would choose this route every time. And hey shout out to Chalyce….cuz this woman is amazing and just put out her 2nd book which is newly updated. Get it, read it, do it ... .it's life changing! 🥰 I'm excited I got my copy and I know me and others are grateful for the beautiful dedication.

Thank you Chalyce Macoskey for all you do for my family and everyone else! ❤️

January can feel strange for digestion.
Not bad enough to panic… but off enough that you know something needs support.

I see a lot of people get pulled toward extremes this time of year — cutting everything out, forcing resets, pushing the body harder. And for sensitive digestion, that often backfires.

That’s why January’s Wellness class is focused on support without extremes — calming the gut, simplifying nourishment, and working with the nervous system instead of against it.

If you’ve read the recent blog and found yourself thinking, “Okay… but what do I actually do?” — this is where that conversation continues. 🌿

I’ll put the details in the comments 👇

Many people have asked for a paperback option — especially for note-taking, highlighting, and slower reading.

The print edition of Wisdom by Nature is now live.

This book focuses on foundational support for digestion and the nervous system, without overwhelm or extremes.

Sharing for those who prefer a physical copy. 📘

If January digestion feels harder instead of better, you’re not imagining it. 💚

Cold weather, stress, and nervous system overload can make the gut more sensitive — not more resilient.

I wrote a new post this week about supporting digestion gently, without cleanses or extremes. Just real, foundational support that lasts. 🌱

Sharing in case it helps someone today.

We hear this often: “I don’t have the energy to read right now.”

That’s why I’m glad to share that Wisdom by Nature is now live on Audible 🎧

This audiobook walks through a foundational approach to digestive and nervous system support — in a way that can be listened to gently, at your own pace.

If audio feels more accessible right now, this option is here for you.

I wanted to share a moment of gratitude today with our GP community.

When I wrote Wisdom by Nature, it wasn’t about rankings or recognition. It was about offering something steady and supportive — the same approach I’ve used with clients and families for years.

This morning, I learned the book is currently ranking:
– #4 in Naturopathic Best Sellers
– #6 in Holistic Health Best Sellers
– #11 in Diet & Fitness Best Sellers

I share this only to say thank you.
Thank you to those of you who believed in this work, who shared it with others, and who trusted me — and this approach — with your health or the health of someone you love. That trust is not something I take lightly.

I’m deeply grateful to be able to do this work, and to walk alongside so many of you on your healing journeys. 💚

For anyone navigating chronic digestive challenges, you already know how exhausting it can feel to keep chasing fixes.

Over time, I’ve seen again and again that a calmer, more foundational approach often creates more space for the body to respond — especially when the nervous system is involved.

I’ve been quietly revisiting and refining this work, and I’ll be sharing more very soon.

If you live with digestive challenges, this time of year can feel heavy.

Not because you’re doing something wrong —
but because your body is already working hard to stay regulated.

Healing doesn’t begin with pressure or restriction.
It begins with safety, steadiness, and support.

Foundations matter more than plans.

We have never suggested melatonin and now we know why

Long-term use of melatonin supplements, often used to promote sleep and address insomnia, was associated with a higher risk of heart failure diagnosis, heart failure hospitalization and death from any cause in chronic insomnia, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart A...
