Quarterly Community Update: June 2019

The quarterly Community Update is our chance to give you a heads up about AIP community news, 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 [email protected] and we will promote it!

Help Us Fund an Eczema/Psoriasis Study!

We’ve once again teamed up with a researcher, MD/PhD student Lucy Mailing, to conduct a small pilot medical study entitled, “Effects of an anti-inflammatory diet on the gut microbiome and gut barrier function in eczema and psoriasis patients.” Our hope is that the results of this study will allow us to move even further beyond the anecdotal evidence of AIP’s impact on skin-related autoimmune diseases. We’re so excited about this, and we need your help to get it off the ground!

We are crowdfunding the remaining money needed to conduct this research. We have a goal of $8,000 and our hope is that this supportive community is ready to pitch in and help us pull this off. Donate to the study here >>

Reflections on the AIP + Hashimoto’s Study

When we shared the results of the recent AIP + Hashimoto’s medical study, we read a fair amount of criticism regarding things like the statistical significance of our findings, our study parameters, and more. We wanted to take this as an opportunity to broaden the discussion about the limits of medical studies in general, and ours in particular. Our Medical Advisor, Dr. Rob Abbott, who carried out the study with us, wrote an important addendum to our study results and we’re excited for you to read it. In it, he discusses how our study was designed, what it means to do a pilot study like this one, and the implications of our results. Read his interpretation of the results >>

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!
