Do you love to exercise, or want to love it? Maybe you wish you could exercise, but your autoimmune symptoms won’t let you… Most people know that exercise is a fundamental part of a healthy lifestyle. The benefits of regular exercise are well-documented, including: increased muscle mass and metabolic rate (helps regulate weight); decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer; improved bone ...
Cardio, High Intensity and Resistance Workouts: Which is for Me?
Berry-Infused Thai Drinking Vinegar
I discovered Thai Drinking Vinegar during Paleo F(x) this year when I visited a highly-rated Thai restaurant near the convention center. Not only is it served alongside the meal to aid with digestion, it’s also delicious! It’s similar to kombucha in flavor, but not nearly as pungent, and it makes a wonderful summer “mocktail” with sweet, tart flavors and fizz from the sparkling water. ...
Orange & Rose Honey Cake
I have yet to post a sweet recipe during my six months of contributing recipes to Autoimmune Paleo, but I felt like I owed you one from my past! Growing up, my treat consumption was mostly limited to Middle Eastern desserts like Ma’amoul (date-filled cookies), Baklawa (flaky, nutty, syrupy pastry), and dried Medjool dates stuffed with pistachios. Most Arabic treats are flavored with honey ...

Cream of Avocado Soup with Crab Meat
Avocados have become an important part of my diet since I started the autoimmune protocol. I used to think that they would make me fat! Of course, I didn’t know much about nutrient density, healthy fats, and eating right. Did you know that avocado is a fruit, not a vegetable? Avocados are incredibly nutritious and contain a wide variety of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. ...
5 Digestion Mistakes You May Be Making
You’ve heard the phrase: “You are what you eat.” It would be more accurate to say: “You are what you eat, digest and absorb.” Nutrition is essential to healing, and if our digestion is impaired, not only do we become malnourished, but improperly digested food can trigger autoimmune symptoms as proteins enter our bloodstream through “leaky gut” walls. If we are going to put a ...
Zesty Apricot-Thyme BBQ Sauce
Oh BBQ sauce… something that is usually sorely missed while on the elimination diet, due to the copious amounts of seed and nightshade spices it contains! You don’t have to suffer though, as the flavor notes in traditional BBQ sauce can be recreated in an elimination-diet friendly version (except for maybe the extreme heat that hot peppers bring to the table!). This recipe is ...
