When you know or suspect you have an autoimmune disease, so many things change — your shopping list, your approach to cooking, and the attention you pay to nutrition labels, to name a few. Even with this attention to detail, though, you may still be denying your body a critical aid in the fight against inflammation: the elusive practice of getting enough sleep. As Mickey ...
The True Cost of Sleep Debt: Can You Recover?
Sweet Potato and Lime Soup with Coconut and Chives
It’s funny how food can stir up emotions. Whenever I eat clams and octopus I am immediately transported back to Positano on Italy’s Amalfi coast, where my husband and I ate a memorable plateful under the shade of a large parasol overlooking the shimmering azure blue Mediterranean Sea. When I pick over a crab I think of all the lazy Sunday afternoons I have spent with friends ...
Pork Roast with Balsamic Reduction
Balsamic vinegar is probably my all-time favorite condiment (certainly my all-time favorite AIP-friendly condiment). I put it in everything. Salads, marinades, even ice cream. There’s just nothing like it and the flavor’s so versatile! Pork, on the other hand, rarely shows up in my diet because it can be so darn expensive. But every now and then I’ll find a good price on a ...
Vitamin A: More Than Good For Your Eyes
This article is the third in an ongoing series on the fat-soluble vitamins,covering those that are integral to health and healing from chronic illness but often lacking in the modern diet. Check out Mickey’s previous articles on the importance of vitamin K and vitamin D, and my article on vitamin E. We’ve all been told by our grandmas that we have to eat our carrots so we’ll have good eyes, but why? It’s due to ...

Bistro Chicken Salad with Garlic-Thyme Vinaigrette
My favorite types of restaurants to eat in are small, local cafes and bistros that offer simple dishes with organic ingredients. These types of restaurants used to be quite hard to come by, but with the ongoing food revolution they have become easier to find! Even prior to starting Paleo and AIP, I almost always ordered salads when I was dining out. You get ...
Pain Management While on the Autoimmune Protocol
Because NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) medications are a suggested elimination while on the Autoimmune Protocol, I often get questions asking for alternatives. While you may need to remain on these medications (especially if your doctor advises you to) during the elimination diet, others like myself have been successful at finding alternatives to managing pain. Why avoid NSAIDs while on the Autoimmune Protocol? NSAID medications cause ...
