IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

Living La Vida AIP – Wendi from Wendi’s AIP Kitchen recently called on some of her AIP blogging pals (I’m sure you’ll recognize a few!) and put together our video clips. Some are over the top, yes – but all are so very relatable in a “been there done that” way.

#aipselfforgiveness – The first week of April many AIP bloggers got together and shared what self-forgiveness looks like for them. Missteps and mistakes happen for all of us, it’s important we allow room for compassion along the way to encourage healing.

NEWEST COOKBOOKS:

The Paleo Autoimmune Protocol Comfort Food Cookbook – Michelle from Unbound Wellness has a way with putting an AIP twist on familiar favorites. That’s what we can expect with these 100 comfort food recipes! The book releases in September, but you can pre-order it now and lock in the lowest price.

AIP By Season – This AIP community cookbook features 101 recipes designed to not only help you with a variety of delicious recipes that are AIP-friendly, but also as a guide to eating with the seasons. Despite still having snow outside, I’m told spring is coming.

NEW PODCASTS:

Emotional Autoimmunity Podcast: Andrea Nakayama – Andrea makes another podcast guest appearance in the community! This time she's opening up about her emotional journey living with Hashimoto's as a mother and a widow.
