Stone Fruit Smoothie

  Did you know that AIP is a “no-coffee,” but NOT a “no-caffeine” protocol? You are forgiven if you’ve missed this nuance. I did too! For the first two years of my journey with the Autoimmune Protocol I thought caffeine was off-limits. Here’s the thing though, coffee is out during the elimination phase because it is a seed, not due to its caffeine content. Per ...

Sweet Potato and Wild Salmon Hash

  Ever resourceful with trying to get the children to enjoy salmon rather than just tolerate it, this quick and simple recipe seems to have passed the test.

Sourcing Food 101 – A Guide For The Autoimmune Protocol

A big mistake a lot of us make when transitioning to the elimination diet, or even just a healthier, real-food ancestral type of diet, is that we think the only place to buy organic, pastured, and other high-quality ingredients is at an expensive specialty grocer (like Whole Foods).

Well, after many years of force-feeding myself Brussels ...

8 Unexpected Benefits of the Autoimmune Protocol

As anyone who has grappled with autoimmune disease knows, it’s not something you can heal with a pill or procedure. My health coaching clients who are new to dealing with autoimmune disease often feel like they’re living in an alternate reality— like any disorienting experience, it can come with its fair share of uncertainty, anxiety, and fear. But when we move past the suffering and ...

AIP Kitchen Tour – September 2017

  AIP Kitchen Tour is a monthly feature in which we profile a member of the AIP community and their kitchen setup in hopes that it will further inspire us to get our kitchens organized and set up for success! We’ve interviewed folks who are making the AIP lifestyle a reality in everything from college dorms and small city apartments, to large households with non-AIP family members, and everything in between. Through these ...
