Pork Pesto Skillet

But “getting healthy” opened my eyes to a whole new world of vegetable dishes. And I do mean world. What’s kept me going on the autoimmune protocol for the past few years has been my passion for adapting ethnic dishes ...

  One question nearly everyone asks when transitioning their diet is “Should I be taking any supplements while on the Autoimmune Protocol?”. Supplements are some of the most commonly-recommended additions to dietary and lifestyle modifications, with everyone from functional medicine physicians to internet-forum users recommending their patients and friends take them.
