Mickey’s Story – Part III
Mickey’s Story – Part II
So when we left off, I was happily living as an asthma-free vegan in Colorado. I thought I was super healthy with my new diet and had discovered outdoor sports.

The second and third really got my attention. So I ...
Mickey’s Story – Part I

Three-Herb Beef Breakfast Patties
The first question people often ask when they hear about the Autoimmune Protocol is, “What do I eat for breakfast?”. Since most of the traditional breakfast foods have been removed from the diet, there are not too many options left for quick, nutritious morning meals. These patties are easy to make in bulk to be frozen for a quick reheat in the morning. I usually ...
The Paleo Autoimmune Protocol – An Elimination Diet for Autoimmune Disease
Disclaimer: Before we delve into the specifics of the autoimmune protocol (or AIP), I would like to make a couple of things clear: First, I am not the creator of this protocol. I originally came across the idea of it as Dr. Kharrazian’s autoimmune hypothyroidism diet as well as through the work of Robb Wolf and Chris Kresser. Second, Sarah Ballantyne, PhD and author of The Paleo ...
