Here at Autoimmune Paleo, we don’t usually write about specific autoimmune diseases. Our mission tends to be broadly focused on the shared roots of autoimmune disease and the practical implementation of dietary and lifestyle approaches that are beneficial in managing those various diseases and other forms of chronic illness. In this case, we are focusing on the “seeking wellness” part of our mission. The other ...
Four Reasons Endometriosis Is A Social Justice Issue
Zesty Detox Salad
While I hate to be a part of the hype that the word “detox” inspires, it doesn’t hurt to provide our bodies with an abundant source of nutrients to continue to perform this essential function. Detoxification is a nutrient-dependent process — if we don’t provide our bodies what it needs to get the job done, this process suffers. Lucky for us, the Autoimmune Protocol supplies in ...
Retrain Your Breath For Better Health
Do you ever catch yourself holding your breath? If I am deep in thought, stressed, trying to figure something out, or juggling a bazillion things — I often realize I am holding my breath. Even when I am not completely holding my breath, I notice that my breathing can be shallow and short. Many of us don’t think twice about our breathing because it’s automatic ...
Zucchini Pasta with Bacon Pesto
You’ll find a tempting assortment of AIP pestos on the internet I’m sure, but I want to relish in a bulkier texture that is missing from the traditional pine nuts. And I crave the salinity that a good parmesan would provide: bacon! That’s what has the rustic saltiness I’m after and when it’s cooked until bronzed and crispy then cooled till brittle, a short burst in the food processor results ...

Mediterranean Cauliflower Couscous Salad
Growing up, my twin sister and I had quite different preferences at mealtime. I was the “steak and potatoes” girl who loved anything fresh off the grill and next to a giant salad. Yes, 5-year-old me and 27-year-old me still eat the same! My favorite weekly dishes growing up were pepper steak, grilled chicken drumsticks with apricot glaze, ribs, and of course this Mediterranean-inspired ...
Orange-Tarragon Beet Soup
Confession time! I don’t really like beets all that much. Gasp! I have learned though to enjoy them over the years, with a few new preparation techniques. Beets are yummy roasted with ginger and citrus and recently, I discovered that beet soup is quite delicious. It’s the velvety texture that won me over. I like to up the flavor ante on most dishes I ...
