The State of AIP 2018

The AIP community has changed… a lot! Since our humble beginnings in approximately 2011, our movement has grown exponentially. This growth has been overwhelmingly positive, but there have been some downsides to it as well. Considering all the growth and change, we’ve decided to start 2018 with a “State of AIP Address” here at Autoimmune Wellness. We’d like to have a discussion about the roots ...

Holiday Breakfast Cookies

You know what one of my greatest pleasures in life is? It’s waking up on a holiday morning and eating something dessert-y, something sort of “naughty” for breakfast with a warm mug of tea while snuggling with my family. There is almost nothing else in this world that brings me as much happiness and simple joy. Having dessert for breakfast isn’t all that easy on ...

Creamy AIP Coconut Milk Chai

  If you love chai, you may be familiar with the Coconut Chai recipe on p. 102 of The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook.

It is perfect to sip on cold evenings now that ...

Maintain Your Social Energy This Holiday Season

The holiday season can be taxing for anyone, but I know from my clients that it’s even tougher on folks with autoimmune disease. Whether it’s grappling with the fatigue symptomatic in any autoimmunity issue or figuring out the details of what to eat while out and about, this season of social gatherings can leave one feeling depleted, frustrated, and isolated. As we head into the ...
