Community Update – February 2017

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.

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.

There is no “one size fits all” approach to exercise with chronic illness, so in this episode, Eileen interviews three AIPers about their exercise experiences. One guest has multiple sclerosis, one has Crohn’s disease, and the third has Hashimoto’s.

Our genes determine many of our health outcomes, but did you know that the choices we make influence which of our genes get turned on and which get turned off? That’s the science of “epigenetics” and in this podcast, Eileen interviews Bailey Kirkpatrick about the intersection of epigenetics and autoimmunity.

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.

Yael Goodman is the author of “Taking Control: My Journey to Reversing Autoimmune Disease”, and in this interview, she shares about her journey living with undiagnosed autoimmune disease since she was 5 years old.

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!
