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 ...

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.

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 ...

Don’t Fear The Sun! Vitamin D and Healing

This article is the first 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 K, and Angie’s articles on vitamin A and vitamin E.  Vitamin D has been in the news a lot lately, partially due to the discovery of its ...
