The Hashi’s/AIP Medical Study is a Go! Thank You to Our Donors

The Autoimmune Wellness community has come together in a BIG way recently. We want to take a minute to acknowledge the amazing folks who are initiating some big advancements in AIP, and to fill you in on what’s on the horizon! As you may remember, a few weeks ago, we announced that we’d be partnering with our collaborator, Rob Abbott, MD, to organize the first-ever ...

How to Make Your Healing Routine Easier During Back-to-School Season

  Finding Structure in Transition No one understands the frazzle of the fall season quite like moms do. Alarm clocks, piles of shoes by the front door, backpack checks, and multiple new schedules to juggle. Maintaining the time and space for your healing routine during these times of transition can be tough. It’s easy to let things fall by the wayside as new priorities arise. ...

Beet and Blueberry Chop Salad

  Chop salads aren’t really a new thing. They’ve been a trend for at least five years now, but I love them (and I don’t give two shakes about food fads anyway, I do what I like by golly… you know like become an AIP early adopter!), ’cause you get a little of everything in one bite! Even when I make a traditionally “pretty” salad, ...

Berries, Mint and Apple Cider Crush

  I have this vision of you swinging gently in a hammock, sun hat perched jauntily to one side and a tall glass of berry crush in your hand. Don’t worry if you have no hammock (I don’t either) but do try my latest recipe before summer’s a mere memory. What I love about this recipe is that it’s multi-functional. When you first make it, ...

Autoimmune Disease & Relationship Stress: Break the Cycle

I’ve written extensively here at Autoimmune Wellness about the impacts of stress on our autonomic nervous system and the challenges this can pose for healing. In my practice, I’ve developed a laser-like focus on this topic because it comes up with my clients so consistently. And having an autoimmune disease is in itself a stressor. The progress I see in my clients when they can ...

Jennifer’s AIP Kitchen: How She Manages Hashimoto’s in Brooklyn

  AIP Kitchen Tour is a monthly feature in which we profile a member of the AIP community and their kitchen setup in hopes that it will further inspire us to get our kitchens organized and set up for success! We’ve interviewed folks who are making the AIP lifestyle a reality in everything from college dorms and small city apartments, to large households with non-AIP family members, and everything in between. Through these ...

AIP Kinda Ketchup

  I’ve been trying to make an AIP-compliant ketchup for years, but my attempts have always fallen short without trusty tomatoes to use as a base. I made a breakthrough when I gave up on using whole beets for the substance and flavor, and instead moved to using just beet juice. The juice adds lots of nutrients, flavor, and that gorgeous color, but without lending ...

Setting Up Your AIP Kitchen

After spending the last five years helping people transition their diets to The Autoimmune Protocol, one thing has become abundantly clear – for some people, the biggest barrier to their success is not having the right kitchen tools or organization to embark on a healing diet. I thought I’d write a back-to-basics article to help those of you who are just starting figure out how ...
