012 - How to EAT When You Have Autoimmunity
Listen now
Description
This is a REALLY popular topic - because most people with autoimmunity notice a change in their symptoms with foods - but they don't know exactly what they should or should NOT be eating! I did forget to mention in this episode - this episode does skip the basics. You should avoid processed foods, hydrogenated oils, sugars, colorings, candy, fried foods, soda, gas station food, etc. - DUH. Sorry.  I think that PALEO is a good place for most autoimmune people to wind up remaining (grain-free, dairy-free, processed-free). I also discuss the concept of being "Paleo-ish", which is a very realistic expectation for most autoimmune people.  In this episode I go through several different Elimination/Provocation Diets, including: - IFM's Elimination Diet - Whole30 - Autoimmune Paleo Protocol I also discuss my "10 Steps of Autoimmune Eating" concept, which is basically a framework for how you can move "up or down" the steps - you might try to live at step #6 all the time, which is gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free, but sometimes you might need to go up to step #9 and get stricter and eliminate all grains, eggs, and nightshades for a time being, and then you might come back down to step #6 again.
