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!
The Vaccine Experience in the Autoimmune Community
A lot of folks have been asking us to share our thoughts on the COVID vaccine and what to consider when making the decision about getting vaccinated. We take our platform very seriously and wanted to contribute to the vaccine conversation in the way that would be most useful to you. To that end, in this article Angie shares seven interviews she collected with members of the autoimmune community detailing their experiences with the COVID vaccine — from their decision making process around whether to get vaccinated, to what (if any) after effects there were. Read the article here.
Does Food Sensitivity Testing Work?
The use of IgG “food sensitivity” testing is widespread within functional and integrative medicine, and the production of testing kits has become a multi-million dollar industry. But does research actually support the use of food sensitivity testing? Our Medical Advisor Dr. Rob Abbott takes a look at the research to find out whether IgG blood tests can actually detect a “food sensitivity”. Read his article 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!
