Autoimmune Protocol Myth Bust

On this episode of Ancestral Health Today we have Mickey Trescott and Jaime Hartman. We discuss the recent changes in the AutoImmune Protocol and clarify what the intent and scope of AIP is, while busting some long standing myths. 

Mickey Trescott is a Chef and Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, certified through the Nutritional Therapy Association, and coaches a small number of one-on-one clients. She is the author of three best-selling books, The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook, The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook and The Nutrient-Dense Kitchen. I also co-host The Autoimmune Wellness Podcast and co-teach The AIP Certified Coach Practitioner Training Program with Jaime. Her journey to the Autoimmune Protocol started as a vegan, having been diagnosed with both celiac and Hashimoto’s disease. Instead of feeling better after her diagnosis, she continued to suffer many months of deteriorating health until she made the transition to the Autoimmune Protocol, slowly reversing vitamin and mineral deficiencies and greatly improving her health. You can read more about her journey with illness by reading her story here on the blog or listening to her deep-dive podcast episode! Today, she lives with her husband, Noah outside Portland, Oregon. When she's not getting crazy in the kitchen or researching how to live better with autoimmune disease, she can be found riding horses on her family’s farm, obsessively knitting a pair of socks, or figuring out how to build a non-toxic, sustainable home. You can also purchase Mickey's books on sale at Autoimmunewellness.com

Jaime Hartman is Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. Jaime is the host of AIP Summit and has a private practice called Gutsy by Nature. In partnership with Mickey, Jaime also co-teaches The AIP Coach Practitioner Training Program. 

Jaime started Gutsy by Nature as a hobby in 2013 to keep herself motivated and focused on the changes she was making. Those dietary changes were so successful that she decided to go back to school and change careers. Jaime also has a master's degree in educational psychology with over 25 years of experience in teaching, coaching and motivating 

both adults and young people. More importantly, Jaime understands what is like to live with a chronic illness and the overwhelm that comes with overhauling your diet. Gutsy by nature's Books offer guidance on meal planning and recipes that make this process much easier.
