Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most common autoimmune disease in the world—and yet for many people, treatment still feels incomplete. Even when thyroid labs fall within “normal” ranges, symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, pain, digestive issues, anxiety, and low mood often persist. For years, patients have been told that if their numbers look good, they should feel fine. But lived experience tells a different story. In ...
AIP for Hashimoto’s: The Pioneering Abbott Pilot Study & Case Reports (Episode 61)
Beyond the Recipe: Veggie-Packed Meatloaf Muffins with Ginny Mahar (Episode 60)
If you’ve ever stood in your kitchen thinking, I know what I should eat, but I just don’t know what to make, you’re not alone. For many people navigating autoimmune disease, healing doesn’t hinge on finding the perfect ingredient or following a protocol flawlessly. It hinges on whether nourishing food can actually work in real life—when energy is low, time is short, and decision fatigue ...
AIP for IBD: The Groundbreaking Scripps Pilot & Quality of Life Studies (Episode 59)
When people talk about the Autoimmune Protocol, it’s often through personal stories or anecdotal success. But for many patients—and clinicians—the question has always been the same: Where is the research? In Episode 59 of the Autoimmune Wellness Podcast, I’m starting a brand-new series called AIP Medical Research Reviews, where I walk through the published clinical studies on the Autoimmune Protocol, what they examined, what they ...
Kitchen Confidence on AIP: The 3-Meal Safety Net for Real Life (Ep 58)
When most people think about doing AIP “successfully,” they imagine cooking consistently, making all their meals from scratch, and having the energy to follow their plan every day. But that version of AIP only works on good days. In reality, most people don’t struggle with AIP because they don’t care or don’t know what to eat. They struggle because their plan falls apart when energy ...
What’s Shaping Autoimmune Care Right Now: Advocacy, Research & Community (Ep 57)
When most people think about autoimmune care, they focus on what’s happening in their own body—symptoms, medications, lab work, and daily choices. But the forces that shape autoimmune health are often much bigger than any one individual. Research decisions determine which questions get asked (and which don’t). Advocacy influences who gets seen, who gets heard, and whose experiences are taken seriously. And community education shapes ...
Healing Isn’t Linear: A Personal Update, a New Diagnosis, and What Comes Next
If you’ve lived with autoimmune disease for any length of time, you already know this on some level: healing isn’t linear. There are seasons when your health feels steady and predictable, when the routines you’ve built genuinely support your life. And then there are moments that ask you to slow down, reassess, and adapt—sometimes after years of feeling well. Those moments can feel especially confusing, ...
Nutrient Density & Lifestyle Changes: Essential to All Phases of AIP
When most people think about the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), they think about food—specifically, what they can’t eat. Elimination lists often take center stage, while the deeper foundations of healing get far less attention. But food alone is not enough. In Episode 55 of the Autoimmune Wellness Podcast, I explore the two pillars that support every phase of the Autoimmune Protocol: nutrient density and lifestyle practices. ...
Reintroduction: Phase 3 of the Autoimmune Protocol
If you’ve spent time in the AIP world, you’ve probably noticed something: people love to talk about elimination, but far fewer people talk about what comes next. And that’s a problem—because reintroduction is where the Autoimmune Protocol becomes truly sustainable. In Episode 54 of the Autoimmune Wellness Podcast, I break down Phase 3 of the updated Autoimmune Protocol: the Reintroduction Phase. This post expands on ...
