Diversity in AIP – September 2017

Diversity in AIP is a story series showcasing the wide variety of people from different backgrounds adapting AIP to not only support autoimmune healing, but also to honor important cultural, religious, ethnic, or national food traditions. We are sharing these stories regularly to encourage folks of similar backgrounds to join our Autoimmune Wellness movement and to inspire the community as a whole about the growing ...

Poached Salmon Salad with Dill Vinaigrette

  The idea for this wine-poached salmon salad came from a half-empty bottle of white wine left in my fridge. I love to have a bottle of red or white wine around for cooking. I add red wine to simmering meat sauces which adds the most amazing complexity and richness. White wine is popular in recipes like braised chicken, but I’ve never come across white ...

AIP Stories of Recovery – September 2017

  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.

Stone Fruit Smoothie

  Did you know that AIP is a “no-coffee,” but NOT a “no-caffeine” protocol? You are forgiven if you’ve missed this nuance. I did too! For the first two years of my journey with the Autoimmune Protocol I thought caffeine was off-limits. Here’s the thing though, coffee is out during the elimination phase because it is a seed, not due to its caffeine content. Per ...

Sweet Potato and Wild Salmon Hash

  Ever resourceful with trying to get the children to enjoy salmon rather than just tolerate it, this quick and simple recipe seems to have passed the test. Not only is this the kind of food where you can add anything you fancy that happens to need using up, but it is also an excuse to add some things you might not ordinarily use. Bitter ...

Sourcing Food 101 – A Guide For The Autoimmune Protocol

A big mistake a lot of us make when transitioning to the elimination diet, or even just a healthier, real-food ancestral type of diet, is that we think the only place to buy organic, pastured, and other high-quality ingredients is at an expensive specialty grocer (like Whole Foods). The truth is that unless you happen to be lucky enough to have an enormous food budget, ...

Citrus-Bacon Brussels Sprouts Salad

  Brussels sprouts: Love ’em or hate ’em, there is no in-between. At least, that’s how it seems. Every time I mention them, I’m met with cries of disgust. And yet they’re one of the most nutritious vegetables out there. Isn’t that always how it goes? The better something is for you, the less appetizing it is. Well, after many years of force-feeding myself Brussels ...
