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.
