Chronic inflammation Support

The AIP Diet : What is it and what foods should you eat and avoid? - Unbound Wellness

I see a lot of clients who are finding medications, nutritional supplements and the normal advice to make minimal or no changes to their quality of life. I personally don’t follow the AIP diet fully, as I have found the foods that irritate me and eliminated them where possible. For me sugar and red wine is instantly inflammatory and too much dairy, grains, nightshades and spices can irritate but I can have them in moderation (I also feel it appropriate to mention it may be advantageous to research histamine intolerance, as although the AIP promotes fermented foods, I find I cannot tolerate these). I do have to admit I prefer meals not covered in sauce or over spiced, so I am lucky that I love a lot of the AIP recipes. I recommend finding lots of recipes you know you would enjoy first, follow the advice of batch cooking, follow nutritionists who promote the diet for emotional and motivational support and dedicate a few months to journaling and self-reflection, committing to a period of time working on self acceptance and self compassion.
