The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) can be a game-changing tool for those of us with Hashimoto's and autoimmune disease—but let's be honest, it's also really hard. In this episode, I'm getting real about what it takes to survive (and benefit from) the AIP diet. I've done it three times, and I'm about to start my fourth round. From the wins and pitfalls to the meltdowns and hard-earned wisdom, I'm sharing everything I wish I'd known before I started. You'll learn: Why I did AIP more than once—and what triggered each round The biggest challenges of AIP (spoiler: it's not just about food) My Top 10 AIP Survival Tips to make the process smoother Who should (and shouldn't) try AIP, and when it might not be the right time If you're curious about AIP, planning to start, or simply want to better understand this powerful (but intense) healing protocol, this episode is for you.

Christopher is the founder of Recovery Health Coaching. He helps clients recover from chronic illness, improve chronic pain, and deal with the limitations of their conditions. He does so with principles from neuroscience, behavior management, and personalized lifestyle and supplement approaches from a Functional Health perspective. He developed this system while reversing his 35 years of autoimmunity and severe neuropathic pain and successfully working in intensive one-on-one sessions with over 100 clients. Christopher's personal journey includes conquering numerous conditions that plagued him for over 30 years, including interstitial cystitis, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic headaches, and severe neuropathy in 85% of his body. At his worst, the pain was so severe that he would stay awake for over 30 hours per wakeful cycle and relied on numerous medications including max-dose morphine and multiple muscle relaxers for nearly 10 years. His recovery approach has been primarily meat-based for over 7 years, beginning with the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) in 2017 and then transitioning to a Keto diet. His comprehensive recovery also incorporated about 30 other interventions including lifestyle changes, mindset work, neuroscience techniques learned from former Mayo Clinic doctor Jim Lemons, and Functional Medicine principles. Today, Christopher is medication-free and physically active, lifting weights 4-6 days per week, running sprints, and going bouldering regularly. He has restored his testosterone to optimal functional ranges after measuring below 200, lost significant weight (from 242 pounds to 160 pounds), and regained his former height after postural issues had left him three inches shorter during his 15 years of disability. Christopher is currently developing two online courses focused on nervous system health and universal health principles, co-hosting the upcoming weekly podcast "Recover Your Health," and writing a book with Dr. Jim Lemons about using integrated principles to achieve optimal results with chronic health problems.

It can be challenging to navigate your thyroid healing journey outside of conventional medical recommendations. While there is definitely a time and place for medication, for many people it isn't the only option and a natural approach may be more desirable. In today's Save My Thyroid Audit, I'm talking to Paula, who was diagnosed with Graves' disease and later fired by her endocrinologist when she chose to follow a natural treatment approach. Unfortunately, this is common for patients seeking alternative treatment options. In this episode, Paula and I discuss why she decided to try natural treatments, her experience with the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet and herbal supplements, the significant health improvements she's seen so far, my recommendations for continued reduction of her symptoms, why individualized care is essential, addressing both physical and emotional aspects of thyroid health, and more.While this isn't the same as my comprehensive consultations with patients, I'm confident you'll find this conversation valuable.

The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) Diet was created in the mid 2010's as a way to relieve symptoms for any autoimmune disease. This diet is VERY restrictive and hard to execute, so is it worth it?  Today we discuss the research behind the AIP diet, and some other dietary interventions for symptom management of some autoimmune diseases.

We explore delicious and nutritious AIP-friendly breakfast options that cater to individuals with Hashimoto's. Join us as we uncover a variety of creative and mouthwatering recipes, shedding light on how to kickstart your day with foods that promote thyroid health and minimize inflammation. Whether you're newly diagnosed with Hashimoto's or a seasoned AIP veteran, this episode offers practical insights and culinary inspiration to help you nourish your body and embrace breakfast the AIP way for improved well-being.

Why resolutions fail, but living an intentional life will succeed.As part of our "Top 6 Episodes of 2022", this is a Rewind of Episode 12 - Achieve Your Intentional Life Goals, Not Futile Resolutions.This episode went viral and had over 200 downloads, mostly in one week in January 2022.Intentional Life vs. ResolutionsIt is the New Year and statistics, and personal experience, show that most of you will give up on your resolutions. That's because you are approaching it as a task and not adopting it as a mindset and core identity.A resolution is "something I'm going to do." An intention is "what I am doing."Identity"The problem with a resolution is that you are not changing your identity, you are just changing an outcome."PerpendExample: A new diet is a new identity -When you start a diet, you say, for example, "I am on the Paleo diet". This implies that you can get off the Paleo diet or you can have a cheat day. You start compartmentalizing and bargaining.Taking an example from the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet: you have to adopt it as your identity to maintain it. Most of the people on AIP have a food allergy or get sick from certain foods.Instead of saying "I am on the Paleo diet", adopt it as your identity. "I am Paleo". Those who succeed at this see it trickle down to their friends, who know that they will have to have or make alternatives for this person at their dinner, party, or get-together.Change your identity - "I am this now".Example: Don't say "I am going to start a garden this year". Say: "I am a gardener. I am a homesteader."Do it, not just say it.Take real steps toward it.Plan your life with intention so you are moving toward that goal.HabitsTo deprogram a habit, you stop rewarding it.Make a list:What do I feel rewards me?Include Identity: Someone who is X does this every day.This is living your life with intention.Today is the first day of the rest of your life.You can literally start over (maybe with some pain and consequences, but it is still true).This mindset is real Freedom.Episode website: https://thrivingthefuture.com/intentional-life-goalsComing Jan-12: Join the Thriving the Future Ask Me Anything call with Scott, Perpend, and Grant Payne of HomesteadofPayne on Instagram.

On this episode of the pod, we are joined by Dr. Adrian Chavez, a PhD in nutrition, to discuss the autoimmune protocol diet. We start with an overview of the diet itself, how it came to be popular, and the claims it makes. We then turn to focus on what autoimmune disorders are, the incredible diversity of them, as well as what inflammation really means. We dig into the details of the diet, including which foods it ‘allows' and which it ‘prohibits' before turning toward the data. We spend some time discussing the very limited number of studies out there, and ultimately, the substantial flaws in the data that claim to support the autoimmune diet. Finally, we discuss some of the risks associated with implementing a rigid and restrictive elimination diet such as this and emphasize that healthful diet habits are more important than eliminating entire food groups. We hope to arm you with better information to help you navigate the world of ‘pop culture diets' so make sure to tune in!

A Functional Medicine Approach To Curing Crohn's And Colitis | This episode is sponsored by Thrive Market and Primal KitchenInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term for a variety of symptoms and diagnoses, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Approximately 3 million Americans are impacted by this inflammatory condition that affects the digestive tract and can greatly impact quality of life, disrupt daily routines, and carry very real emotional burdens. Symptoms of IBD include bloating, constipation, diarrhea, urgency, painful cramping, rectal bleeding, and more.In this episode, Dr. Hyman talks to his UltraWellness Center colleague Dr. George Papanicolaou about the Functional Medicine approach to treating inflammatory bowel disease. They identify root causes and discuss why the health of your microbiome is vital when it comes to treating IBD. IBD is autoimmune in nature and may be helped by following autoimmune protocols also covered in this episode.George Papanicolaou is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Abington Memorial Hospital. He is also an Institute for Functional Medicine Practitioner. Upon graduation from his residency he joined the Indian Health Service. He worked on the Navajo reservation for 4 years at the Chinle Comprehensive Medical Facility where he served as the Outpatient Department Coordinator. In 2000, he founded Cornerstone Family Practice in Rowley, MA. He practiced with a philosophy centered on personal relationships and treating the whole person, not just not the disease. He called that philosophy “Whole Life Wellness”. Over time as the healthcare system made it harder for patients to receive this kind of personal care Dr. Papanicolaou decided a change was needed. He began training in Functional Medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine. In 2015, he established Cornerstone Personal Health, a practice dedicated entirely to Functional Medicine. Dr. Papanicolaou joined The UltraWellness Center in 2017.

More than 2,000 years ago, Hippocrates suggested all disease begins in the gut. He was mostly right, and we’ve talked about the gut many times on this podcast – in relation to athletic performance, optimising the gut microbiome, and even how to use probiotics. But a couple of weeks ago I realized that we’ve never talked specifically and in depth about exactly what to do when you have a gut problem. GI issues are where I started my health journey, and probably bring more clients through our doors than any other condition, and they can affect absolutely anyone - athlete or not. On this podcast, NBT Scientific Director Megan Hall and I are talking about the steps to take when your gut isn’t working right. We talk about how things tend to go awry in the first place, signs and symptoms that you have a gut problem, and the first things to try to get quick relief. Megan also discusses the most scientifically-validated lifestyle modifications, supplements, and lab tests to try, as well as the pros and cons of using antimicrobials. Be sure to follow along with Megan’s outline for this podcast.  Here’s the outline of this interview with Megan Hall: [00:00:58] How Megan fixed her gut.

Years ago, my own gut problems motivated me to seek answers outside the existing medical establishment, and with the help of my wife Julie I was able to get my diet and health back on track. Having now worked with thousands of athletes on their own health challenges and performance goals, it’s clear there are specific pitfalls that can accompany a high-level training regimen. On this podcast, NBT Scientific Director and coach Megan Hall is with me to discuss the latest science and clinical practice on the athlete’s gut. She talks about the importance of having a healthy GI system, why athletes struggle in this area, and specifically what to do when problems arise. We also discuss what I did to regain my own gut health. Be sure to see the end of the show notes for the outline Megan wrote to prepare for this podcast. It’s an excellent resource for anyone seeking solutions for their own gut problems.

Health and nutrition are always top priority in my book, and I many of us are especially considerate of it during the current COVID-19 crisis, as everyone is worried about their immune system. The great thing is that if you attend to your health and wellness consistently, not just in high need times your body will take care of you.  This is why it is so important to identify the specific diet that your body responds to and allows for you to maintain optimal health. In today's episode I chat with Sophie Van Tiggelen from the blog, A Squirrel in the Kitchen.  She is an authority on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) who has authored several books on the subject and develops recipes specific for the protocol. She shares with us exactly who can benefit from an AIP diet, why you should consider eating this way, even if you have no know autoimmune issues and gives us a wealth of resources for you to dig into to learn more!

Welcome to Episode 21 of Alopecia Life with Sophie Van Tiggelen. Sophie is a passionate foodie, recipe developer, author, and photographer. Diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2009, she used the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) to reverse her condition and today, Sophie lives a full and vibrant life free from the anxiety and flare-ups.Over and over I've been asked about the autoimmune protocol diet and its effectiveness, and I had very little personal experience with it. But I have friends with alopecia and other autoimmune diseases that have had great success with it. I knew I wanted someone who could speak about it openly and with a personal connection, and Sophie fit the bill. With her food and lifestyle blog, A Squirrel in the Kitchen, Sophie shares her AIP experience and empowers others to develop new habits to promote good health and wellness. She has developed simple strategies to be successful on AIP. Her mission is to make the Autoimmune Protocol - and all it encompasses - more accessible and sustainable for anyone looking for a more nutritious, delicious, and more health-conscious life.Blog: A Squirrel in the Kitchen https://asquirrelinthekitchen.comMembership: AIP Made Simple https://www.aipmadesimple.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/asquirrelinthekitchen/Instagram: @squirrel_kitchenPinterest: SquirrelKitchenhttps://www.subscribepage.com/aip_yes_no_food_lists

In this episode, Dr. Hartman continues the discussion of the first pillar of functional medicine, Diet and Nutrition. This episode continues where episode 2 left off and looks more deeply into specific diets trending today. If you’ve wondered what is the difference between Paleo, Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), Nutritional Ketosis (or Keto), Grain-free vs. Gluten-free, Vegetarian or Vegan as well as which diet may be the right one to choose to support your own health goals, this episode will be both accessible and informative.

Starting the Autoimmune Protocol Can the AIP (autoimmune protocol) help you? If you have been diagnosed with an Autoimmune disease, you may feel overwhelmed. Feeling helpless and wondering "what next" is normal. Maybe your doctor has told you that this is something you'll be dealing with for the rest of your life. That's why it's so important to know that with the right protocol, you can make serious strides towards improvement. Using dietary and lifestyle changes, you can slow or even stop the progression of an autoimmune disease. There are cases of people going into complete remission using the AIP. AIP Foodie Sophie Van Tiggelen is an autoimmune warrior, foodie, recipe developer, and photographer, who was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease in 2009. She was experiencing panic attacks and anxiety, brain fog, and heart palpitations, among other symptoms. After years of persistent and painful symptoms, Sophie began a strict anti-inflammatory diet called the Autoimmune Protocol or AIP. Within a short time, she began to regain her health and vitality. Sophie began by removing all inflammatory foods, especially sugary ones. She then began taking natural supplements prescribed by her functional medicine practitioner. To cope with anxiety, she started seeing a therapist to learn techniques to help her relax and slow down her anxious thoughts. After years of living the lifestyle, creating recipes, menus, and strategies, Sophie has helped many other people. Through her website, she helps others learn to change habits and adopt the AIP lifestyle so they can feel better. Her advice is, "Don't give up, be persistent! All your efforts will pay off, and you will feel so much better!" In addition to multiple cookbooks, one which we are discussing in this episode of A Healthy Bite, Sophie has an AIP Made Simple Membership. You can hear more about it in the podcast episode or read about it on the membership site. A Squirrel in the Kitchen Sophie has lots of free resources on her site, A Squirrel in the Kitchen, including recipes, books, tips, and strategies. The latest book is The Autoimmune Protocol Meal Prep Cookbook. This is more than a cookbook; everything is planned out for you! The menus each have a theme for the week. Each menu has recipes, grocery lists, steps and instructions in detail. My favorite recipe that I have tried so far is the Pomegranate gummies. I am still working my way through all of the recipes. Even if you don't meal prep, you'll still want this book for the recipes. You will not feel deprived when you use this cookbook! Questions in this episode: Tell us a little bit about yourself. (where you're from, family, hobbies, or work, etc.) What is the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol? What got you started following the AutoImmune Protocol? Give us some examples of yes and no foods on AIP? Do you still follow the AIP and/or how long did you follow it? Does everyone in your family follow the AIP? How does it work when you have kids? What improvements did you notice once you began following AIP? You wrote The Autoimmune Protocol Meal Prep Cookbook to help others achieve success - what's the hardest part about following the AIP diet? I saw that you have an AIP community with memberships, is this similar to what you've put together with the book? Recipes, Meal Plans, Shopping Lists, etc.? Who can benefit from following AIP? You have a lot going on, how do you do it all, especially with an autoimmune disease? Meet the author Sophie Van Tiggelen is a passionate foodie, recipe developer, author, and photographer.

Mickey Trescott, NTP is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, blogger, author, and advocate for those taking recovery from autoimmune disease into their own hands. Mickey has a special place in my heart because her first book was the resource that my wife, Julie, used to help me recover my own health. She’s now written a second book, The Nutrient-Dense Kitchen, emphasizing the healing aspects of the highly nutritious foods available within the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) template. In this interview, Mickey and I discuss her journey to finally being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and celiac diseases, and the lifestyle factors that may have contributed to her illness. She discusses some of the pitfalls encountered by people following AIP, and the clinical trials being done to empirically validate AIP as a treatment for autoimmune disease.

Tonya Butts is the founder of Sweet Apricity, a sweets company that makes elimination-diet-compliant caramels (and caramel sauce!), marshmallows, and more. The company started on a whim: Tonya began crafting her dairy-free caramels as a graduation gift for her best friend Wendy, who manages debilitating symptoms with the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP). While offering powerful relief for those with autoimmune disease, AIP also eliminates a number of ingredients that limit indulgence (read: sweet!) options. Tonya knew what most of us who have tried a strict diet understand: sometimes the greatest gift is a sweet treat that won’t wreck our progress. Sweet Apricity’s Caramels, Marshmallows, and Caramel Sauce offer a sweet reward for all the work it takes to heal. They are grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free, made only with simple ingredients allowed on the AIP and Paleo diets. Still locally crafted by hand in Portland, Oregon, Sweet Apricity remains true to its roots with real ingredients, small batch production, and a growing line of artisan offerings. From the beginning, the mission of Sweet Apricity has been to offer a treat made with ingredients our bodies will love. In the course of start-up and as the company has grown, Tonya has discovered a shocking truth: that she’s been living with toxic mold symptoms for years. In her “coming out”, she tells Lauren about transitioning from “well” to “sick”, how this has affected her identity and her work-life balance, and how grateful she is to be connected to the caring community of Spoonies (and their loved ones) that Sweet Apricity has brought into her life.  Join us as Tonya shares…  - that when she first brought the caramels to her friend Wendy, Wendy’s response was one of total shock and joy – she screamed with delight and immediately began to sob with relief  - the meaning behind Sweet Apricity’s name  - why Tonya does what she does: that she wants to serve “a feeling that is elusive to people following a restrictive diet”  - that while her friend’s restrictive diet was never a roadblock in their friendship, Tonya became very protective of Wendy’s health and of others’ judgment  - that she lives with PCOS and has had her gallbladder removed  - that she experienced a lack of follow-up care with regard to both her gallbladder removal and the use of birth control for her PCOS  - that she unknowingly moved into a moldy house in the PNW, where she lived for 5 years  - that it’s not necessarily realistic to remove oneself immediately from a moldy home – because of the cost of living and the remediation process  - that she went on AIP for 14 months to experience what life was like for Wendy – but also because of its healing properties  - that she gained a lot of weight because of her mold experience  - that she couldn’t even begin to treat her mold toxicity until she left her old home  - that she is treating her toxic mold infections with a functional medicine doctor – whom she travels to Seattle to visit  - that the doctors she sees in Seattle are two of the first to have been trained by Dr. Klinghardt (known for work in Lyme), and utilize ART (autonomic response therapy) to treat her mold toxicity  - that she also struggles with heavy metal toxicity  - that she’s been very good at hiding her symptoms  - that in order to balance work and life, she’s surrounded by colleagues who know her well and want to see her succeed – so she’s able to create accommodations for her chronic illness  - the irony that someone can spend exorbitant amounts of money for a meal that isn’t safe for them – and the realization that often, eating out/eating while traveling will make her feel unsafe in her body  - that she has experimented with veganism, paleo, keto, and intermittent fasting over the years  - that diet change is rarely easy – and the key to success is mindset  - that she’s an emotional eater – and that’s OK  - that chronic illness can lend itself to a disordered relationship to food and eating  - that her biggest struggle right now is with cognitive function – between mold, heavy metal toxicity, and hormone dysfunction  - that she recently stumbled upon the book Radical Metabolism, which she has found to be very useful  - that she gets ghost migraines – which affect her vision – when she experiences inflammation  - that she makes a conscious effort to hide her impairments – and she realizes she is often not having the kindest internal dialogue with herself  - that she questions – and sometimes doubts the existence – of her chronic illnesses, because they’re invisible, and she is sometimes able to hide them  - how often Wendy was dismissed by doctors, who tried to tell her the symptoms were all in her head  - that dairy wreaks havoc on her mental health – so she has to be very careful when she consumes it  - that she’s been able to reintroduce corn, but she’s unable to consume tapioca  - one of her favorite indulgences: ‘smores made with her marshmallows and caramels 

Functional medicine physician Rob Abbott, MD is back on the podcast this week.  Since he was with us last year his career and practice has evolved in exciting ways. While seeing patients at Resilient Roots Functional and Evolutionary Medicine in Charlottesville, Virginia, he is also the medical advisor at Autoimmune Wellness and is conducting collaborative research with founders Angie Alt and Mickey Trescott. Today Rob talks about the results of his recently published pilot study of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet for women with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. He describes the crowdfunding that made the research possible, the tools and supports they used with the participants, and the dramatic results found at the end of 10 weeks.

In this episode, Stacy and Sarah come to the rescue for a listener in need, discussing alopecia (an autoimmune disease), as well as strategies and resources to smoothly transition your child into the Autoimmune Protocol in order to maximize healing and minimize stress - for both you and your child. Click here to listen in iTunes If you enjoy the show, please review it in iTunes! The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 325: Alopecia & AIP for Kids (0:00) Intro (0:40) News and views Stacy just returned from New York City and thinks she's coming down with a cold. Sarah is full blown sick. Send them good thoughts! Stacy gives a rundown of her NYC trip with the boys. One of the highlights was visiting The New York Historical Society's 'The History of Magic' exhibit. (12:20) Today's topic As a parent, it can be very scary to navigate helping your child implement the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) when you have no experience with it yourself. When you're taking care of a sick child, don't forget to take care of yourself because you need to be operating at your best to give the best care. Laura asks: "This week we got a pretty shocking diagnoses that my 5 year old daughter, has a rare form of alopecia and is losing all of her hair. She’s lost about 30% in the last 10 days OUT OF NOWHERE. Yesterday we got results from extensive bloodwork testing just about everything and so far it all looks normal. We haven’t gotten celiac results back yet... So clearly with Alopecia she is having autoimmune issues causing her body to turn and attack her hair follicles. We have switched over immediately to a paleo diet and limiting eggs. As little as possible sugar and processed foods, no dairy, no gluten, no beans (? This one confuses me), limited organic chicken."Eating: Healthy fats, cooked veggies, berries, quality grass fed organic beef, Alaskan wild caught salmon, some tuna fish...She cries every meal, she misses her snacks and yummy food. I’m lost and just trying to keep up and do my best. Any healthy, ‘good for her cells’ snacks you think a 5 year old would enjoy indulging on? I’m so horrible at cooking but will get better! I know there are fun things to make, which cookbooks do I need? Any favorite snack bars? Tasty breakfast options?The doctors all say nothing can be done and there’s no cure but no one talks about diet, waking up early for the sunrise, healing the gut and mitochondria... I know these are all things that can help heal her. But I’m overwhelmed, stressed, a bit broken, emotional and mourning this diagnosis (yes, I know she’s not dying but I wish hair for my 5 year old, bow loving daughter who doesn’t understand what’s happening)." Stacy says it sounds like alopecia is a secondary autoimmune disease and it's likely that Laura's daughter has a primary driver like Celiac's that could be causing an alopecia flare. Sarah says it is possible for alopecia to be a primary driver, but confirms it's very common for alopecia to be a secondary autoimmune disease to Celiac, Type I Diabetes, or Rheumatoid arthritis. Alopecia is most commonly linked to Celiac's. Alopecia is a fairly common autoimmune disease, affecting 2% of the population at some point in their lives. On set is most typically in childhood. Alopecia is among group of autoimmune diseases that is considered "self limiting." It can flare up and then, out of nowhere, go away. Alopecia is strongly linked to stress. (25:30) Is AIP effective for alopecia? It's hard to answer how effective the Autoimmune Protocol is for alopecia. There's mostly anecdotal evidence at this point. There was a recent study testing AIP on people with Chronn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis and most were in full clinical remission after just 6 weeks. There's currently a study in progress that tests AIPs effectiveness on Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and Sarah will shout those results from the rooftops as soon as they're released! At least 6 people with alopecia have shared their stories with Sarah. They've reported full hair regrowth after about a year. Here's a link to a Youtuber Sarah met who used AIP to regrow hair: youtube.com/deepaberar There are a lot of AIP facebook groups to join as well as AIP bloggers. (31:07) AIP Snacks for kids There needs to be a balance between living a lifestyle that heals us with the foods we eat. If cutting out foods your child loves is adding a huge amount of stress, that's not healing. ShopAIP.com is a great resource for AIP foods and snacks (use code PALEOVIEW for 10% off). Stacy recommends finding AIP or paleo snacks that are similar to snacks your child is already familiar with. For example if your child loves crackers, find a cassava-based cracker to replace it with. For cookbooks, Stacy recommends Sarah's cookbooks The Healing Kitchen and The Paleo Approach Cookbook because they'll teach you about the autoimmune protocol and why it's important. About 50% of the recipes in Paleo Principles are AIP, but the great thing about Paleo Principles is that is goes into more detail of the grey areas of AIP. Check out Sarah's free resource on her website, Paleo Community, which is an "all things AIP in one place" resource center. (39:40) How to approach the Autoimmune Protocol with a child Step 1 is learning about AIP. It's about nutrient density first, elimination second. Check out Sarah's resources: The Paleo Approach book "What is AIP?" A free resource on Sarah's website Her best resource for a deep dive into AIP is The AIP Lecture Series Next session starts January 7, 2019. There will only be two sessions in 2019. This weekend (11/10-11/11) is the last week to pre-order the course! However, if you miss the pre-order, use the code PALEOVIEW before January 7th for a sweet discount! This course, taught by Sarah, is intended for patients and caregivers. Step 2 is understanding the nuances of AIP. All fruits are allowed (except nightshades which are technically fruit). AIP is not a low carb diet. This is good for kids because they need carbohydrates. With a child, there is a "quality of life argument" to be made. If a child is crying at every meal, it might be best to manage stress by taking a slower approach and continuing to include some foods that aren't AIP (but are still nutrient dense). Mindset shouldn't be underestimated in the success of AIP. Get your questions in! We want to hear from you! And there's no end to questions we can answer and topics we can address!

Ep. 320: Can a Paleo or AIP Lifestyle Manage Diabetes? In this episode, Stacy and Sarah go beyond diet as a way to prevent or manage diabetes, exploring why Paleo and AIP lifestyle factors like activity, stress management, and sleep are critical components. Sarah also shares a list of her top nutrients picks for improving insulin sensitivity.   Click here to listen in iTunes If you enjoy the show, please review it in iTunes! The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 320: Can a Paleo or AIP Lifestyle Manage Diabetes? (0:00) Intro (0:40) News and Views Welcome back! According to Sarah, the best way to do a podcast is in PJs! Over 6 years of TPV podcasts! Shout out to the listener Stacy met at the Queen City Mischief and Magic festival in VA! If you're a Harry Potter fan, mark your calendar for next year's festival! Sarah realizes she doesn't need to be coy about transitioning into the podcast topic because listeners always read the episode title before listening to the podcast. (10:58) Question from Kayla: "Hi Stacy and Sarah! I loved your recap podcast! I'm writing because I haven't seen a podcast yet about diabetes and AIP. I did listen to the insulin one, but I'm specifically wondering how AIP could be helpful to a diabetic. I had gestational diabetes with all four of my pregnancies, progressively worsening with each one until my last which was very hard to control. Unsurprisingly, I am now struggling with high blood sugar even though my baby was born 9 months ago. I've seen that diabetes is an autoimmune condition, but I really don't understand the mechanics so it's hard for me to be motivated to stick to the AIP diet. Would you be able to discuss that more on your podcast? Can Sarah please geek out on my behalf? Thanks so much for your amazing work!" Sarah geeks out with general diabetes statistics Estimated 9.3% of the American population has diabetes. Type II Diabetes accounts for 95% of diabetes in America and Type I accounts for the remaining 5%. (13:17) The difference between Type I and Type II Diabetes Type I Diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system is attacking the beta cells, which are the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. Type II Diabetes is a diet and lifestyle disease where the pancreas can still make insulin, but the body becomes less and less responsive to it until it's unable to manage blood sugar levels. Also known as insulin resistance. Because Type I diabetes is an autoimmune condition, Sarah recommends following the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) in addition to the other suggestions in this podcast. Traditional recommendations from American Diabetes Association for regulating insulin is "almost good," according to Sarah. Sarah likes their guidelines for measured carbohydrates, eating carbohydrates with protein, fat, and fiber, and focusing on whole food carbohydrates, but disagrees with their recommendations to eat whole grains and vegetable oils. One study shows that the Paleo Diet does a better job at regulating blood sugar than the Mediterranean Diet. Another study shows the Paleo Diet was more effective at improving glucose control and lipid profiles than the American Diabetes Association diet. Currently, no studies looking at the long term effects of the Paleo Diet on diabetes. (30:03) Lifestyle factors like activity, stress management, and sleep may have even more of an impact on insulin sensitivity than diet. Activity improves the body's insulin sensitivity receptors, both the number of receptors and their sensitivity. One study in healthy adults showed a 67% increase in amount of insulin needed to shuttle glucose out of the blood after 5 days of bedrest. People who are overweight and obese have an even greater increase in the amount of insulin needed. Sedentary periods also increase blood pressure, cholesterol, and other symptoms of metabolic syndrome. Taking a 2 minute activity break every 20 minutes can negate these effects. This can be as simple as getting up and moving around! More muscle mass equals more insulin sensitivity, which means there's benefit to doing muscle building exercises. Neither weight training nor cardio will negate the negative effects of sitting at a desk all day. (39:43) Chronic stress and acute stress are big factors in determining insulin sensitivity. Our fight or flight response regulates which bodily systems are prioritized. If we're constantly stressed our body isn't focusing on the immune system, digestion, reproductive functions, protein synthesis, bone formation, and regulating blood sugar. Chronic stress directly causes insulin resistance via cortisol. Researchers say chronic stress may be the number one contributor to metabolic system. Even acute stress causes insulin resistance and hyperglycemia because it's creating readily available energy for running away or other survival mechanisms. Sarah recommends working on resilience activities and managing stress. Practice saying "no," delegating, spending time in nature, cuddling, laughter, yoga, meditation, and down time. Stacy asks how these studies are measuring stress. Sarah says researchers are measuring cortisol levels and analyzing participant questionnaires. (49:02) Not getting enough sleep is a huge risk factor for diabetes. If you get less than 6 hours per night on a regular basis, you increase your risk of Type II diabetes by 50%! And you increase your risk of either diabetes and/or pre-diabetes by 2.4 times. Studies have shown that even a single night of lost sleep will make you insulin resistant. One study showed for every 30 minutes of weekday sleep debt the risk of obesity is 17% higher and the risk of insulin resistance is 39% higher - even if you're getting 15 hours of sleep on the weekends. (52:56) Stacy and Sarah discuss nutrients that are particularly important for insulin sensitivity. First off, always check with a health care provider before taking even a supplement. Some supplements do not mix with certain drugs. Vitamin D. Get your levels tested and supplement within the functional range of Vitamin D. Then retest your levels every 3 months. Vitamin D levels can change seasonally. Zinc. Important for glycemic control and the immune system. Ideally get it from foods like shellfish and nuts and seeds. Vitamin K2. Important for blood sugar management and can even reduce your risk of getting diabetes. Best sources are grass-fed meat, organ meat, grass-fed dairy. Chromium. More relevant for those who haven't been getting a lot of nutrients and may be just starting a Paleo Diet. Magnesium. Some studies show supplementation can improve glycemic control, but it's hit or miss. Data is stronger showing adequate intake of magnesium can prevent diabetes. Alpha Lipoic Acid. Has been shown in clinical trials to improve insulin sensitivity in those with Type II Diabetes. Berberine. Food sources can be hard to find. One source is Oregon Grapes, but they're only found in the Pacific Northwest. A couple studies have shown Berberine can be as effective as certain diabetes drugs. Curcumin (from turmeric). Anti-inflammatory. Some evidence showing it can prevent diabetes in people who are at a higher risk. Cinnamon. Also anti-inflammatory. Can reduce cholesterol by 18% and reduce blood sugar levels by 24%. Both Cassia and Ceylon cinnamon has this effect. Be warned, do not just eat a tablespoon of cinnamon - it will hurt! Conjugated Linoleic Acid (food, not supplement). Can be found in grass-fed meat and dairy from ruminant animals. Can significantly lower risk of diabetes. There is also preliminary evidence (some mixed, not conclusive) for blood sugar lowering properties of: CoQ10 Aloe Ashwagandha Ginkgo Green coffee bean extract Glucosamine Black cohosh Rhodiola Reishi mushroom Tart cherry juice White mulberry Fenugreek Milk thistle Ginseng Inositol Stacy suggests one way to get some of these amazing nutrients: FourSigmatic Mushroom Hot Cocoa with Reishi and Cinnamon.

Last month the NBT team had a rare live meet-up at the Ancestral Health Symposium in Bozeman, Montana. While there, we had a chance to see many of our previous podcasts guests in person presenting their latest work. For this podcast, we passed the microphone around and shared our impressions of some of the talks we’d seen. Along the way, we covered all kind of topics, ranging from the performance benefits of caffeine to setting up an ice bath at home. Dr. Tommy Wood shared highlights from his AHS presentation, “The Athlete’s Gut,” explaining why 70% of endurance athletes have a gut problem. We also caught up with friends from Virta Health, who are on a mission to reverse Type 2 Diabetes in 100 Million People.   Here’s the outline of this conversation with Tommy, Megan, Clay, Zach, Josh, and Doug: [00:00:08] Ancestral Health Symposium 2018.

In today’s podcast, Chris and Jill talk with Karen Parrott, a popular blogger who writes about her weight loss journey and maintaining her weight loss. You can find her blog at Garden Girl, Weight Maintenance and Food Sobriety. In this episode, we talk with Karen about: How she lost 70 pounds How she has kept the 70 pounds off for more than 6 years The food template she uses to select her daily meals How she exercises Karen uses about 20 different weight maintenance tools with abstaining from her binge triggers as the top tool. One of her weight maintenance tools is following a low carb eating plan. She identified foods that cause her problems by following an Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) and doesn't eat dairy, gluten, or sugar. Karen says that we all need to figure out what works best for each of us. Some of us can eat a lot of carbs while others cannot.  Perhaps the best advice that Karen gives is not to be apologetic about what you eat or don’t eat.

In cases of food allergies, intolerances, or sensitivities, they may provide unpleasant symptoms such as bloating, gas, or constipation. And they may also cause non-GI issues such as headaches, acne, joint pains, mood changes, low energy levels, and itchy eyes. Everybody's body responds to foods differently. Sometimes, our body doesn't necessarily love every food we eat, or our immune system might recognize something as a foreign invader. One common strategy to find out what's causing your symptoms is to perform an elimination diet. Elimination diets help to identify the foods your body does and does not like (and the reaction can be temporary until you heal).Pros + Cons of the Whole30...Pro: The foods you eat on Whole30 are all great for you: loads of veggies, high-quality meats, and spices. Con: The biggest downside of this diet is that the protocol does not allow for even the smallest of slip-ups. “One bite of pizza within the 30-day period and you've broken the “reset” button, requiring you to start over again on Day 1.” The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a major diet overhaul Whole30 is worth trying.The Autoimmune Protocol. AIP is perfect for those looking to resolve autoimmune diseases  like Crohn's, rheumatoid arthritis and food sensitivities. What's great is that AIP is not just for people battling an autoimmune disease. It's ideal for anyone who wants to enhance their cognitive performance and say bye to gas, bloating, a weakened immune system, joint pain, and low energy levels. AIP Resources: Paleo On The Go Meal Delivery Service and ShopAIP.comQuestions about Whole30, AIP, and working with a registered dietitian and nutritionist?

Ep. 292: Sophie Van Tiggelen In this episode, Stacy and Sarah interview Sophie Van Tiggelen about converting to AIP and how she deals with a family that isn't on AIP. Click here to listen in iTunes   If you enjoy the show, please review it in iTunes! The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 292: Sophie Van Tiggelen Intro (0:00) News and Views (0:40) Stacy is going to visit Sarah soon! Sarah is already planning food and her girls are talking about what games they are going to play together. Stacy's family is having Easter dinner at Sarah's house. Welcome our guest, Sophie Van Tiggelen from A Squirrel in the Kitchen (3:30) Stacy loves having someone on the podcast with an accent, because Sarah is losing hers. Sophie is originally from Belgium and moved to Colorado in 2000. In 2009 she got very sick and was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. Gluten-free diet didn't work for her. She found the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) in 2012, which was life-changing. She started blogging to share her recipes and results with the world. Her first book, Simple French Paleo came out two years ago. Her brand new book, The Autoimmune Protocol Made Simple Cookbook is available for pre-order. Sarah has had a sneak peak of the book and it is amazing! Sophie is a master as developing amazing flavor with simple ingredients and cooking techniques. Sarah highly recommends both of her books! Sophie wanted to show people that it is possible to eat a nutrient-dense diet with healthful foods in a simple way but that is also creative, accessible, and creative. Sophie's story is not uncommon- following a specific protocol in a family where not everyone is on board with it. The answer is not one-size fits all and depends on a lot of variables. When she started her journey her children were young and she could direct their food choices. She was in complete control of the kitchen and cooked all the meals. She cooked one core meal with some additions when necessary. Sometimes her husband would like rice or quinoa on the side, which was easy to do. They had the same common meal, which made things easier for her. They talked as a family and she explained the AIP protocol and why she needed to follow. They decided as a family that they would not allow gluten in the house. This was a red line that no one would cross. The family had their own snacks in the pantry that weren't necessarily AIP. They were all kept in one place and it was Sophie's responsibility to not get into them. It was easy at the beginning to avoid non-AIP foods because she was in pain and wanted to get better. It got harder as she felt better. As Sophie's children grew up, they didn't follow the same way of eating. They got jobs, and their own money, and started eating outside the home. Each of their three children went their own way regarding their food choices. Sophie had to choose her battles. Outside the home they could make their own choices. Inside the home there would be no gluten allowed. Stacy has had a similar experience with her oldest son. They encourage him to make the best choices he can, but it's ultimately his decision. He knows he doesn't feel well when he eats gluten, and usually choses not to outside the home. You can't force kids, but just educated and enable them to make the right decision. Sophie hopes that if her children ever need to reign-in their eating, they will know how to do that because they saw her doing it at one time. Sarah struggles with having foods around the house that she shouldn't eat. Sarah has a history of binge-eating. Sophie was motivated at the beginning and very strict, which gave her results very quickly. When she started to feel better, it got harder to be as strict. She has learned what she can and can't get away with. Sophie is an abstainer- it's all or nothing and she has a hard time "just having one." Stacy choses to use the words "she doesn't" eat something, not that she "can't." If something has gluten in it, she isn't even tempted by it. Everyone has their own limitations and should learn to listen to their bodies. Sarah agrees- the foods that make her violently ill are not tempting to her. It's the things that don't cause her a lot of distress that she tends to want to overeat. It is especially hard when her kids and family are eating these things. If and when you indulge, it is important that you don't beat yourself up. It isn't the end of the world. You may even have a little reaction. It doesn't mean that you failed, or that everything is lost. It is important to not let an indulgent become a snowball. Or for one bad choice to be permission to make a lot more bad choices. The best thing you can do to recover after an indulgence is to turn to nutrient-dense and healing foods. Sophie has had success with having prepared healthy snacks. When a craving hit she wasn't telling herself "no," but "yes, eat these healthy things." Sophie's new book, The Autoimmune Protocol Made Simple Cookbook is releasing in June. Stacy wants to know what recipe she struggled with the most. Sophie has had a hard time coming up with dressings and sauces because she doesn't often use them. Sophie loves how well-rounded and fresh the recipes in this book are! One of Sophie's favorite recipes are the Tummy-Soothing Popsicles! You can find Sophie at A Squirrel in the Kitchen.

This episode of the Phoenix Helix podcast is dedicated to my book: A Simple Guide to the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol. I'm joined by three of my friends with autoimmune disease who have used the AIP to manage their own health. We share our healing stories, what worked and what didn't, and what parts of the book resonate the most with our own journeys. Chelsey has Crohn's disease. Erin has psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and Raynaud's disease. Tara has lupus, psoriasis and vitiligo.

Mickey Trescott is a cook and one of the bloggers behind Autoimmune Paleo. After recovering from her own struggle with both Celiac and Hashimoto’s disease, adrenal fatigue, and multiple vitamin deficiencies, Mickey started to write about her experience to share with others and help them realize they are not alone in their struggles. She is a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner by the Nutritional Therapy Association, and is the author of The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook, a guide and recipe book for the autoimmune protocol. You also can find her on Instagram, or on her book tour. Mickey and I have a lot in common. We both suffered a health crisis; we both are sensitive to gluten, and both had thyroid issues. The good news is that using a combination of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) and functional medicine we've both made a full recovery. You can too! You can read the full version of Mickey's story, from asthma to Hashimoto's thyroiditis over on her blog. I first discovered her book using the Google search "AIP cookbook". At that time, the Paleo Mom had tons of great information on the science on her site, but there wasn't much in the way of help trying to figure out what you should eat. Mickey's cookbook proved to me that AIP wasn't just survivable; it was good! It's important to note that whilst AIP is a crucial first step to recovering from autoimmunity; it's not the only part. Rest, exercise, stress management and supplements are all important. An unhealthy host makes a great home for infection and hormone imbalance. The liver often struggles to keep up with the additional demand and the burden of nutrient deficiencies. Figuring all this out is only hard if you're guessing. Don't guess, do a test! Find out how in a free 15-minute consultation. Sign up and I will send you a PDF preview of the cookbook and a 2-week AIP meal planner!
