  Ever since our first cohort of coaches graduated from our AIP Certified Coach Practitioner Training Program, we’ve been watching with pride and excitement as they bring the AIP to the traditional healthcare landscape. Our AIP Certified Coach Spotlight features give you a look at what it means to be an AIP coach, and what you can expect when working with one as part of ...

Are You a Giver or a Taker? (And How Does it Impact Your Health?)

One particular topic has come up for me in my life recently — in an, “oh, sh*t!” hit-you-like-a-ton-of-bricks way — that has also been a theme in recent sessions with my clients. The aha moment in question? Living life as a giver or a taker. As I’ve come to understand it, the definitions of each role are as follows: givers come from a place of ...

Sheet Pan Lemon-Herb Lamb and Veggies

  This lamb recipe, like many of my recipes, was a happy accident one evening as I was trying to clean out the fridge and use up ingredients before they went bad. I abhor food waste (yes I meant to use that very strong word), so it’s a big deal to me to figure the “no waste” puzzle out every week. My goal is to ...

Four Ways to Eat Like a Nutrivore

Apple and Turmeric Jellies

  We’re very fond of jellies in our house. And when they’re made with healing ingredients such as these, there is every reason to make them a regular treat.

Could Exercise Intolerance Be Impacting Your Recovery?

  Ok, so you have done all the things right. You are following the AIP diet and it’s working. You are feeling better. You are drinking water. You are exercising. But you are still having setbacks. And you are still having flare-ups. Believe it or not, it could actually be your exercise that is hurting rather than helping you. You see, we have always been ...

Combining AIP with Conventional Healthcare: The Definitive Guide

A little clarity… I’m specifically exploring the whats, whys, and hows of combining AIP with conventional healthcare here. I realize that much of what is outlined could also be accomplished with natural or functional practitioners, but due to insurance restrictions, legal regulations in some states, or financial limitations, many people are not able to utilize natural or functional medicine. The purpose is not to overlook ...

Tom Kha Gai

  Winter IS here. It is settled in and not in a hurry to move on. I generally have quite the struggle staying positive and happy during the winter months. Rather than spend these cold, overcast months depressed and binge watching “The Great British Baking Show” on Netflix, I am doing my best to create the most Hygge winter yet. If you haven’t heard of ...
