This article is the second of an ongoing series on fat-soluble vitamins, covering those that are integral to health and healing from chronic illness but often lacking in the modern diet. Check out my article on the importance of vitamin D, and Angie’s articles on vitamin A and vitamin E. You have most likely heard more about the other fat-soluble vitamins, D, A, and E, but what ...
Vitamins K1 and K2: Beyond Blood Clotting!
Lavender Roasted Turnips and Apples
I’ve developed recipes around turnips before for the blog. You can find one of them here. I return to turnips for a few reasons, they are in season all year (although they are yummiest in spring and fall), they are inexpensive, and they are sulfur-rich, which aids the body’s ability to detoxify. In this recipe I did something a little unusual, I decided to combine ...
Pineapple Salsa-Stuffed Burgers
Pineapple salsa is one of my all-time favorite condiments. Maybe because pineapple is one of my all-time favorite fruits. It’s sweet and tangy and pairs perfectly with red onion and cilantro. You can make these burgers with beef or bison or even chicken, and you might be surprised by how many AIP-friendly bun options are out there. You can serve them wrapped in crisp lettuce ...
AIP Kitchen Tour – March 2016
AIP Kitchen tour is a monthly feature where we profile someone who eats AIP and has agreed to share their kitchen setup with the community, in hopes that they can further inspire us to get our kitchens organized and set up for success! We’ve heard reports of people who are able to make AIP work in college dorms and small city apartments to large ...
Four Reasons Endometriosis Is A Social Justice Issue
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 ...
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 ...
