In the autoimmune community, we see a lot of focus on gut inflammation and systemic inflammation. This stands to reason, since inflammation drives the autoimmune “fire”, leading to destruction of bodily tissue and a myriad of miserable symptoms. Minimizing inflammation is critical for reducing symptoms and minimizing damage to the body’s systems. Yet while gut health and systemic inflammation are important, it’s important to also ...
What Inflammation Does to Your Brain
Purslane with Crispy Bacon and Blueberries
Purslane. My new addiction. I am mad for the citrussy-peppery tang and endless versatility of this delicious succulent. I love it best eaten raw (but it is equally tasty when lightly steamed, pickled, sautéed, stewed …), and when you’re done tossing those faintly waxy leaves into your salads, save the thicker stems as they will reward you with a wonderfully healthy soup. But praise must also be given to purslane’s ...
Strawberry Ginger Ice Cream Sundae
As rule of thumb when I make ice cream to eat the same day, I use less (say, a couple of tablespoons) or even no honey. I really do prefer to keep my consumption down and this can easily be done, especially in the summer, by choosing ripe and naturally sweet fruits. That said, when I’m making it more than a day ahead (tricky ...
AIP Kitchen Tour – August 2015

Stuffed Pineapple
This recipe is based on an old favorite I used to make in my pre-Paleo days, which involved baking a mixture of pineapple, walnuts, coconut shreds and rum into hollowed-out pineapple halves. I despaired of ever coming up with an autoimmune protocol-friendly version of that recipe…until I decided to also stuff it with everyone’s other favorite tropical fruit, banana! Bananas have a wonderful flavor ...
Bring on the Oxytocin! How Healthy Relationships Literally Make Us Healthy
Have you ever been in conflict with your partner or friend and you find yourself thinking about it obsessively? You may even notice that you have a headache, are sleeping poorly, and indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream (or wine). Some of us feel the impact of our relationships viscerally and clearly. When I am not in good relationship with my husband or ...
Watermelon-Basil Shrub (A Drink!)
Can I interest you in drinking a shrub? Uh, what? As strange as it sounds, shrubs are a “drinking vinegar” that dates far, far back as a way to preserve fruits. It was most popular in the U.S. during colonial times, but if you are from the Deep South you might know that it never really went out of style. I came across this ...
Oven Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Orange Glaze
I have three teenage daughters at home and getting them on board of the Paleo train was a small challenge at the beginning. This was a little bit over three years ago. Why eat wholesome, nutrient-dense whole foods when you can have pizza, right? After all, kids are taught at school that French fries count as a serving of vegetables. *Insert cringe here.* Don’t ...
