AIP Stories of Recovery – April 2015
Cherry-Ginger Gummies
Gelatin is one of the most healing foods you can include in your diet, due to its amino acid content. It doesn’t have to be “all bone broth, all the time” though. Gummies are a yummy, fun way to get in gut-healing nutrients, with almost endless variations you can dream up. I dreamed up this variety after being inspired by my partner, Mickey’s, gummy ...
Is A Healing Crisis Really Healing?
The Theory In theory, a “healing crisis” is when your symptoms get worse before they get better, and this is a sign that you are healing. It’s also called a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction or “die-off” (indicating the die-off of pathogenic organisms in the body.) The History Where did this theory come from? In the late 1800’s/early 1900’s two doctors noticed that when they treated patients with ...

It’s name stems from the French ‘fouler,’ meaning to crush, however I prefer to cut my strawberries into smallish ...
The Benefits of A Regular Walking Routine

If you asked me why I never walked, I’d say it seemed like such a waste of time. Two adjectives that described me back then would be hyper and impatient. Why would ...
Zuppa Toscana
I’ve mentioned before how much I love recreating foods from around the world to suit the autoimmune protocol. Believe it or not, my favorite cuisine to play with is Italian. You might think all the grains, dairy, and nightshades make for a tough time of it, but I have thoroughly enjoyed a wide variety of pastas, soups, and even pizza on the autoimmune protocol these ...
AIP Is Not A Religion
“We are indeed much more than what we eat, but what we eat can nevertheless help us to be much more than what we are.” –Adelle Davis, Let’s Get Well The Autoimmune Protocol changed my life. Pretty much everyone that even remotely knows me knows that. Not only does my plate look different, but also my family life, my career, and even my leisure time ...
