Community Update – April 2017

FB_Post#4

The monthly Community Update is where we give you a heads up on some great offerings in the way of podcasts, video series, and local in-person meet-up groups. If you have started a local support group on Facebook (no pages please), send the link to team@autoimmunepaleo,com, and we will promote it monthly.

Become an AIP Certified Coach!

BIG news! We have teamed up with The Paleo Mom (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) to create the AIP Certified Coach Practitioner Training Program! If you are a health coach, nutritional therapist, or other certified practitioner who would like to learn exactly how to teach your clients about the AIP diet and lifestyle, this is for you!

Enrollment will open mid-June 2017 for a mid-July 2017 start date for the 8-week online program.

We will be taking a limited enrollment for the first group and expect it to sell out quickly! Sign up on the interest list here to receive all the details about upcoming enrollment. 

Phoenix Helix Podcast

A bi-monthly podcast about autoimmune healing by Eileen Laird of Phoenix Helix, featuring interviews from experts in the field of health and nutrition as well as individuals living with autoimmunity. If you would like to visit the podcast archives, click here.

Episode 67: Building Effective Doctor-Patient Relationships with Dr. Cynthia Li

The quality of our practitioners makes a huge difference in the course of our illness and our quality of life. Dr. Cynthia Li is a conventionally trained MD who became chronically ill and housebound for two years. Her journey changed not only her life, but how she practiced medicine.

Episode 68: Personalized Nutrition with Robb Wolf

It would be wonderful if one diet worked for everyone, but human beings are complex. In the paleo community, we all start with the same template but personalize our diets through self-experimentation. This is one of the messages of Robb Wolf’s new book, Wired to Eat.

Emotional Autoimmunity Vlog

Kerry Jeffery of Emotional Autoimmunity publishes this monthly video series in which she interviews members of the autoimmune community about, as the name suggests, the emotional side of living with autoimmune disease. To see her past interviews, click here.

Choosing Surrender Over Fear: Interview with Maggie Wilde

This guest has a powerful healing story. After decades of undiagnosed antiphospholipid syndrome and Lupus, Maggie created a new life for herself after a stroke left her unable to care for herself. She has gone on to build a successful business, travel the world and help so many others along the way.

AIP Meetup Groups

Find a local networking group centered around the Autoimmune Protocol! Be advised that these are not disease-specific support groups, but are to facilitate in-person networking and support for those on or considering the Autoimmune Protocol. Each group has their own moderation and rules for membership, but generally they are private and supportive of those on their healing journeys. Know that this listing does not imply endorsement by Autoimmune Paleo, groups are not run by us, and your request to join and any information you may encounter in these groups is at your own risk.

If possible, please request membership in a group local to where you live — after all, the whole idea is to get together with others in your community who are facing similar challenges! Health coaches, practitioners, online marketers, and others trying to sell their products, know that many of these groups are well moderated and solicitation will not be tolerated. If there isn’t a group near you, consider starting your own and letting us know about it on our contact page!
