About the Body Ecology Diet


The Body Ecology Diet (BED) shows you how to restore and maintain the important “inner ecology” your body needs to function properly and to eliminate or control the symptoms that rob you of the joy of living.

With the confusing array of supplements, health foods and fads out in the marketplace today, Body Ecology offers a back-to-basics approach to restoring health and vitality. The straightforward necessities we provide are all geared to one fundamental law of nature: the fact that our digestive systems are intimately linked to our immune, endocrine, circulatory and central nervous systems. Profoundly affecting all these interlocking systems is an amazing world of benevolent bacteria: the microscopic “good guys” that must be present in your intestines for you to be healthy. Our products are all specifically designed to help you cultivate, nourish, cleanse and repair this abundant inner ecosystem (hence the name Body Ecology).

Heath and Wellness Articles

  • Adrenal Fatigue – Adrenal fatigue may be the real reason for exhaustion, weight gain and lack of willpower. Learn about chronic stress, the symptoms of adrenal fatigue and how to recover.
  • Autoimmune Condition – If you’re suffering from chronic symptoms that you can’t get to the bottom of, consider functional medicine. A functional medicine practitioner will look at the body as a whole to get to the root of symptoms caused by chronic conditions, including autoimmune disorders.
  • Casein Sensitivity – After eating dairy, do you experience symptoms like itchy skin, watery eyes, runny nose or stomach distress? Find out it you are sensitive to casein.

  • Food Allergies – One out of twelve children in the US has a food allergy, which has been closely linked with a permeable gut barrier. Find out how to get to the bottom of chronic food allergies and restore a weakened immune system back to health!
  • Gluten Sensitivity – Gluten sensitive? The truth is that even the smallest amount of gluten in your diet can trigger inflammation and autoimmune responses for up to six months!
  • Hormone Imbalances – Traditional Chinese medicine tells us that fluctuating hormones can be the result of an imbalance of Yin and Yang in the body. In order to support healthy reproduction and balanced hormone levels, it’s critical to strengthen digestion to bring the body back into harmony.
  • Leaky Gut – Did you know that bacteria in your body can detect when you feel stress? It’s true! Chronic stress could lead to more serious issues by throwing the inner ecology of your digestive system out of balance.
  • Probiotics – Aging gracefully with probiotics? While these healthy microflora are at work boosting immunity INSIDE, you reap the rewards by looking your best on the OUTSIDE.
  • Sugar Addiction – Sugar can feed candida, cause you to binge, contribute to aging skin, rob your energy and many other ills. You CAN have sweets without the dangers of sugar. Here’s how!
  • Weight Loss – Do you believe natural weight loss is hard? Donna Gates reveals what’s behind the weight loss lie and how to free yourself from cravings and processed foods for good!

The Body Ecology system of health and healing is one whose many facets can take years to master, yet these basic principles can be easily understood and followed. They comprise three simple dietary transitions that can have a profound impact on how you feel:

  • The addition of cultured foods to your diet
  • Changing the quality of fats and oils you consume
  • Drastically reducing your intake of carbohydrates and sugars

The products and instructions we provide to Body Ecology Dieters (or BEDers, for short) are all designed to make these three goals easy to accomplish.

Thousands today don’t know why they feel so tired all the time, or are overweight. And while we do not promote BED merely as a “weight-loss” diet, it plays an important role in fighting the obesity which is a major contributor to poor health. Six out of ten Americans are overweight (including nine million children), and we have epidemics of autism (over one million children), depression (over three million teens), and hormone imbalances (in men and woman of all ages) are escalating at an alarming rate.

Over 200,000 copies of The Body Ecology Diet have been sold…mostly as a result of friends telling friends about it, not advertising. Why? It works!!

The Body Ecology Diet is the most comprehensive and effective nutritional therapy available today!

The Body Ecology Diet makes it easy for you to:

  • Plan meals with dozens of delectable recipes, menus, and detailed shopping lists!
  • Learn simple principles of proper eating and food combining to rebalance your internal ecology.
  • Use effective cleaning methods to restore your system’s harmony.
  • Develop strategies for controlling your urge to snack and for dining away from home.

Praise for Donna Gates and the Body Ecology Diet

A few years ago I attended a week long workshop with Donna Gates. It was an eye opening experience as she shared simple but powerful principles for attaining and maintaining a super healthy body. One of the most important things in the workshop was that Donna fed us breakfast and lunch. We were able to taste and experience how delicious the fermented foods were. Everyone enjoyed her way of cooking and delighted to take her recipes and probiotic nutrition home with them. I have been a follower ever since and at 84 am enjoying vibrant health.

– Louise L. Hay, the New York Times best-selling author of You Can Heal Your Life.

Body Ecology emphasizes the importance of what we put into our bodies and teaches a way of eating that makes me feel like I am in control of my health and in tune with my body’s intuitive needs. Cultured vegetables and coconut kefir have become essentials, not only in my home, but whenever I travel.
