All the NEW AIP Books!

I launched my website 7 1/2  years ago. At the time, there was almost no information on The Autoimmune Protocol out there: a half page of additional foods to avoid if you have autoimmune disease in Robb Wolf’s first book, a list of foods to avoid for autoimmune sufferers on Prof. Loren Cordain’s original website—and no, those two lists were NOT the same—and two blog posts that I could find that combined those food lists but offered little if any explanation as to why people with autoimmune disease needed to eliminate additional foods above and beyond the standard Paleo Diet.

That’s when I started writing about the Autoimmune Protocol, incorporating a focus on nutrient density and lifestyle,  experimenting on myself, diving deep into the scientific literature, eventually refining the AIP into what it is today (my best resources for learning the detailes and nuances of the AIP are my online course The AIP Lecture Series my first book, The Paleo Approach, and my Autoimmune Protocol E-book).   You can learn more about the history of the Autoimmune Protocol, and my role in it, here.

And this is when the magic happened.  Even as I was writing the definitive AIP guidebook (The Paleo Approach), an entire community of AIP bloggers, each dedicated to creating resources to help their followers succeed with the Autoimmune Protocol, grew and blossomed. This dynamic group of inspirational people are the reason why more and more autoimmune disease sufferers are learning about the AIP, why there are now clinical trials proving the efficacy of the Autoimmune Protocol (see Paleo Diet Clinical Trials and Studies and Updates to the Autoimmune Protocol), and why there is such an amazing diversity of books, courses, programs, coaching services, podcasts, YouTube channels, meet-ups, snack foods, pantry ingredients, pre-made meals, and online stores all to serve the diverse needs of the autoimmune community (summarized here). I can’t even being to express how gratifying and humbling it has been to watch this community flourish, as a tangible analogue to how the Autoimmune Protocol itself has given so many of us our lives back.

I encourage you to check out my AIP Community page, which I try to keep up-to-date with all of amazing resources specific for our community (the community is growing so quickly, it’s a bit of a losing battle, lol!).  And below, I want to celebrate all of the new awesome books created by leaders in the AIP Community in 2018 and 2019!  Every single one of these is an excellent, top-quality resource!  Plus, your purchase supports these bloggers, the AIP community as a whole, and my continued work in this field, so THANK YOU!
