When most people think about autoimmune care, they focus on what’s happening in their own body—symptoms, medications, lab work, and daily choices. But the forces that shape autoimmune health are often much bigger than any one individual. Research decisions determine which questions get asked (and which don’t). Advocacy influences who gets seen, who gets heard, and whose experiences are taken seriously. And community education shapes ...
What’s Shaping Autoimmune Care Right Now: Advocacy, Research & Community (Ep 57)
Healing Isn’t Linear: A Personal Update, a New Diagnosis, and What Comes Next
If you’ve lived with autoimmune disease for any length of time, you already know this on some level: healing isn’t linear. There are seasons when your health feels steady and predictable, when the routines you’ve built genuinely support your life. And then there are moments that ask you to slow down, reassess, and adapt—sometimes after years of feeling well. Those moments can feel especially confusing, ...
Nutrient Density & Lifestyle Changes: Essential to All Phases of AIP
When most people think about the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), they think about food—specifically, what they can’t eat. Elimination lists often take center stage, while the deeper foundations of healing get far less attention. But food alone is not enough. In Episode 55 of the Autoimmune Wellness Podcast, I explore the two pillars that support every phase of the Autoimmune Protocol: nutrient density and lifestyle practices. ...
Reintroduction: Phase 3 of the Autoimmune Protocol
If you’ve spent time in the AIP world, you’ve probably noticed something: people love to talk about elimination, but far fewer people talk about what comes next. And that’s a problem—because reintroduction is where the Autoimmune Protocol becomes truly sustainable. In Episode 54 of the Autoimmune Wellness Podcast, I break down Phase 3 of the updated Autoimmune Protocol: the Reintroduction Phase. This post expands on ...
Elimination, Core & Modified: Phase 2 of the Autoimmune Protocol
If you’ve ever searched for “AIP Elimination Phase” online, you’ve probably come away more confused than when you started. Conflicting food lists, outdated guidance, and rigid interpretations have made elimination feel overwhelming, restrictive, or even unsafe for some people. In Episode 53 of the Autoimmune Wellness Podcast, I break down what the Elimination Phase of the Autoimmune Protocol actually looks like today, following the major ...
The AIP Transition Phase Explained: How to Prepare for Success Before Elimination
In the early days of the Autoimmune Protocol, there was no Transition Phase. People were encouraged to jump straight into eliminating foods, often overnight, while managing autoimmune symptoms, work, family life, and fatigue. For many, that approach felt overwhelming and unsustainable. In Episode 52 of the Autoimmune Wellness Podcast, I explain why the Transition Phase is now considered an essential part of the updated Autoimmune ...
What Is the Autoimmune Protocol? How AIP Works, the Science Behind It, and What’s Changed
If you’ve spent any time researching the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), you’ve probably encountered a lot of conflicting information. Some descriptions are outdated, some are overly rigid, and others miss the science entirely. That confusion can make AIP feel overwhelming—especially if you’re already navigating life with autoimmune disease. In Episode 51 of the Autoimmune Wellness Podcast, I break down what the Autoimmune Protocol actually is, where ...
The State of the Autoimmune Protocol in 2026 and the Relaunch of the Autoimmune Wellness Podcast
The Autoimmune Protocol has changed significantly over the last decade.

In Episode 50 of the Autoimmune Wellness Podcast, I share a 2026 “State of AIP” update and explain why now felt like the right moment to relaunch ...
