In this episode…
Are you stuck in a cycle of inflammation with no clear answers? Autoimmune conditions can be confusing, frustrating, slow to diagnose, and sometimes take years to understand.
In this episode, I am chatting with Mickey Trescott, a leading expert on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), about her decade of research and personal experience managing autoimmune disease. We talk about the modified AIP, exploring why it isn’t just a diet but a structured healing process.
Mickey also shares insights from clinical studies on IBD, Hashimoto’s, and psoriasis, and explains how elimination and reintroduction phases help people discover their personal triggers. You’ll learn how to approach food as medicine, adapt the protocol to your lifestyle, and reintroduce foods safely.
Plus, Mickey offers simple tips to help you calm inflammation, restore gut balance, and finally feel empowered in your autoimmune journey.
Key discussion points…
- How AIP differs from traditional elimination diets
- The real goal of the AIP diet
- Clinical results from AIP studies
- Modified vs core autoimmune protocol
- Food sensitivity testing explained
- Delayed reactions and cross-reactivity
- Mickey’s autoimmune flare story
- The New Autoimmune Protocol book overview
There is no cure for autoimmune disease, but I really believe that we can manage and live well with it.
