For many people living with autoimmune disease, stillness can feel anything but soothing. When your body has ...
Mind-Body Minute: Beginner Meditation with Michele Spring (Episode 73)
The Root Cause of IBS with Izabella Wentz, PharmD (Episode 71)
What if IBS isn’t a true diagnosis—but a placeholder? What if bloating, cramping, constipation, diarrhea, and food reactions aren’t signs that your body is “too sensitive,” but clues that something specific and treatable is being missed? Less than 25% of people diagnosed with IBS get lasting relief from conventional treatment. And many people who go on to develop autoimmune disease report years—sometimes even a decade—of ...

When you’re navigating autoimmune disease and gut symptoms at the same time, it can feel confusing fast. You clean up your diet. You remove obvious trigger foods. You follow AIP carefully.

Core vs. Modified AIP Elimination Phase — How to Choose (Ep 69)
If you’re learning about the Autoimmune Protocol for the first time—or revisiting it after trying it years ago—one question almost always comes up during the Elimination Phase: Should I start with Core AIP or Modified AIP?

Starting an Autoimmune-Friendly Movement Routine with Beth Trimark-Connor (Ep 67)
When you’re living with autoimmune disease, movement can feel loaded. You may know it’s “supposed” to help—but figuring out how to start in a way that feels safe, supportive, and sustainable is another story. Questions like How much is too much? What if I flare? What if my body can’t handle what it used to? leave many people stuck between avoiding movement altogether and pushing ...
Kitchen Confidence: Your AIP Kitchen Starter Kit (Small Bite) | Episode 66
Over the years, I’ve taught AIP cooking classes and workshops in community kitchens, conference centers, and online classrooms. One of the clearest patterns I’ve seen is this: The way someone sets up their kitchen has a direct impact on how sustainable their time on AIP is. When a pantry is organized, when foundational ingredients are easy to find, when there’s a reliable pot for soup ...
AIP for Hashimoto’s: The Polish Study on Nutrient Density, Symptoms & Thyroid Health
When we think about the Autoimmune Protocol, we often focus on what people feel: less fatigue, clearer thinking, fewer digestive issues, better mood, and improved quality of life.

In Episode 65 of the Autoimmune Wellness ...
