Quarterly Community Update – September 2017

FB_Post#4

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!

Results Are In: First-Ever AIP Medical Study

After a year of waiting, the results of the first-ever medical study of the Autoimmune Protocol are out! And they are even better than we hoped. Read our summary here. Sneak peek: “…this proportion of participants with active IBD achieving clinical remission by week 6 [of the study] rivals that of most drug therapies for IBD.”

All-New AIP Resources Page

We’ve been working hard on revamping our Resources page so we can better direct you to the books, resources and tools that have made our AIP journeys easier. We’re so excited to unveil it!

Check out our list of the best kitchen tools, AIP cookbooks, podcasts, food purveyors, Hashi’s resources, and so much more! Click here.

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!

  • We have a powerful group. I have watched others in my group reverse MS, RA, Hashi, Linchen Planus,
    Fibro, etc. Most follow AIP. We just had an outing. We went kayaking! Spent the night in a really neat cabin, cooked some really good AIP food. It was so good and so much fun! The crazy thing is … most of them couldn’t get off the coach in 2015. It was a miracale watching them on the lake for an hour. We review Mickey and Angie, Terry Walhs, Amy Myers, Mark Hyman, Sarah Ballantyne. We are reading the Good Gut now.
