Virgin Cherry Moscow Mules

  Whether you’re new to the AIP or have been navigating your special diet for a while, it can be disheartening to have to face the holiday season without being able to drink. Everyone else is loosening up, having fun, and you feel stuck on the sidelines. But, in my experience, indulging in an adult beverage has never been worth the pain it causes my ...

From-Scratch Salmon Chowder

  This recipe is a favorite from The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook – a tender, from-scratch version of salmon chowder. If you are wondering about sourcing the salmon carcass, be sure to ask at your local fish counter to see if they have any available for purchase. Many times you can purchase a whole fish, have them fillet and debone it for you, and take the carcass ...

Think About It: Better Digestion Through Mindfulness

Bloating, cramping, gas, and diarrhea — as a health coach, I spend a lot of my day talking about these things! My clients often experience such intense digestive issues that it’s frequently what pushes them to finally seek support. I get it! No one wants to feel like they might crap their pants on the highway (or while camping, guilty!), or like they’re totally distracted ...

Cauliflower Gnocchi

If you are as obsessed with Trader Joe’s as I am then you probably know that they can’t keep their cauliflower gnocchi in stock. (Heads up for elimination phase folks: Trader Joe’s version contains potato starch, so they’re a #reintro.) Mostly because I am the one buying them all. Sorrrryyy… but also not sorry. You’ll see why when you try these golden doughy nuggets — ...

Understanding Digestion to Own Your Healing

A massive part of the training for nutritional therapists is centered on learning about the digestive system and digestive process in the human body. While I was doing my training and the instructors were drilling this into us and my classmates and I were sweating it out over flashcards, I didn’t realize just how important this knowledge would become for me or my practice. I ...

AIP Stories of Recovery: Anna’s Recovery from Limited Scleroderma and Raynaud’s

AIP Stories of Recovery is a success story series about regular people from the Autoimmune Protocol community who are changing their lives using the protocol. Each month a new person is featured and readers have the opportunity to discover all the different health challenges that are being overcome by folks just like themselves on the same path.

Mexican “Chocolate” Mousse

  This Mexican Chocolate Mousse is one of my favorite AIP-friendly answers to chocolate cravings, especially during the warmer months. But when it’s cold, it can also be served as hot chocolate! Simply blend it while hot and serve immediately instead of refrigerating it. When I first started the Autoimmune Protocol, I had been vegan for years, so I was used to giving up foods that ...
