The New Autoimmune Protocol

The first official update to the popular science-backed, anti-inflammatory approach to managing autoimmune disease, complete with meal plans and 70+ recipes—from a founding leader of the Autoimmune Protocol movement

Rates of autoimmune diagnosis have been rising dramatically and so too has interest in the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), a science-backed dietary and lifestyle protocol. Feedback from thousands of practitioners and millions of patients, as well as new research, has indicated that AIP needs an update: many patients see results before extensive dietary eliminations. In The New Autoimmune Protocol, leading AIP authority Mickey Trescott explains not only the basics of autoimmune disease and new medical research, but also a new addition to the protocol: Modified AIP Elimination, which will make relief achievable by many more autoimmune sufferers.

The New Autoimmune Protocol includes detailed meal plans and more than 70 AIP-friendly recipes, divided into two essential sections:

• Core AIP Recipes & Meal Plans: following the standard AIP elimination protocol (eliminating all grains, gluten, dairy, legumes, nightshades, processed vegetable oils, nuts and nut oils, seeds and seed oils, alcohol, and processed food chemicals)
• Modified AIP Recipes & Meal Plans: the new AIP elimination protocol which is less-restricted and now includes ghee, rice, pseudo-grains, legumes (except soy), and seeds.

This hybrid program guide and cookbook walks readers through the essential phases of AIP—transition, elimination, and reintroduction. Modified AIP recipes include Buckwheat Protein Porridge, Cozy White Bean Stew, Fall Veggies and Beef with Quinoa and Tahini Sauce, and Green Chicken Soba and Shiitake Mushroom Salad.

This book arms readers with flexible meal plans, delicious recipes, and the knowledge they need to regain their vitality whether they decide on Core or Modified AIP.
