Call for Support: Help Us Fund an Eczema/Psoriasis AIP Medical Study!

We have a very exciting announcement for the AIP community today! In January of 2018 we ran an enormous survey asking Autoimmune Wellness fans all sorts of questions, not only about your experiences with us, our site, and our social media channels, but also about your challenges, questions, and what you wanted to see more of in the future.

Is Your Health Story Building You Up, or Holding You Back?

Every day, from the moment we wake up until our heads hit the pillow, we are immersed in stories and storytelling. They serve as a means to help us understand our circumstances and navigate our world. What we may not realize is the power behind our words. Narratives around disease can be intense and difficult—and I have come to believe that the stories we tell ...

Salisbury Steak with Savory Broth

  I hope I’m not the only one who grew up on loving frozen TV dinners. My favorite above all was always the Hungry Man with salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, corn, gravy, and a brownie. As a child, I had no clue how yucky those meals were. Reading the ingredients and nutrients is not for the faint of heart. All I remember was pulling the ...

Strawberry Cheesecake

It’s berry season and I bet you’re so excited to find any reason to indulge in strawberries. There are so many ways to enjoy them but I cannot think of a better way than strawberry cheesecake. Because of the gelatin in this cheesecake, the stability makes it perfect for a summer day picnic. You can make these into individual cheesecake cupcakes or pour the mixture ...

How to Gauge Success on AIP When Progress Isn’t Obvious

Today I’m going to cover a topic that has confused many as they embark on of transitioning to the Autoimmune Protocol–how do those who suffer from seemingly subjective and nebulous symptoms gauge which dietary and lifestyle interventions are working for them, and if they are on the right track with their healing journey? Having Hashimoto’s thyroiditis myself, I am no stranger to feeling lost when ...
