3 Big Factors That Affect Your AIP Diet You Probably Haven’t Heard Of

Finding Your Inner Healer Is The Medicine

What are you looking for when you heal? If you might, consider thinking about that for a moment. Because I think humans are on a deeper journey than just curing what ails us by diet and supplements. I think we are growing our hearts. It is something to ponder. Imagine this: you healed. What…

“Good Health Depends on Good Choices?” I say no.

I saw this quote today: “Good Health Depends on Good Choices” I tried that. For like 25 years. I think it is a total load of crap. I tried to be good. And then I tried to make everything around me good. And I became controlling and almost OCD. In my efforts to have…

Love Is Medicine Level 1 Practitioner Training

Love Is Medicine Level 1 6/10-6/12 Berkeley, CA I get a number of emails from healers, nutritionists, coaches and practitioners asking how I do the work I do and where to train for it. The simple answer is that the work I do is incredibly specialized, so there is no specific place to study…

The Disease of Becoming

10 Reasons Why Food Reintroductions Fail On AIP

I am seeing a lot about how to reintroduce foods on AIP on different FB pages. I gathered a few points to keep in mind when considering how to reintroduce foods. Who wrote the article? Are they clinicians? Have they actually had experience walking AIP’ers through reintroductions? Why is that important? Because experience…

Why The Heart Of The Healer Matters

When I Tell People Not to Start AIP

When I Tell People Not To Start AIP Why would I possibly tell someone not to start the AIP diet? Because now, three years into AIP clinically I have seen some big issues emerge no one is talking about. So it is time to start a conversation. I get a lot of these…

Illness As A Path Of Transformation

It isn’t practical to set up our lives around experiencing only comfort. Yet we do because it is our natural instinct. It is only because I have had so much practice with discomfort that I don’t push it away so quickly now and can see its gifts and value. But I still grumble about…

Disease: The Helper

What if… What if disease was waking you up to something in your life? What if instead of being a victim to your disease, you could actually decide that disease is here to help you come to a deeper understanding of yourself. When we do that, it changes the context of disease in our life…

The Future of AIP is here

What does the future of healing Autoimmune Disease look like? One thing I know for sure, is that is does not look like what it did two years ago. So much has changed and the science has continued to evolve. That is good news for you. More options at your fingertips. More resources at…

When AIP Becomes A Crutch, Not A Cure

What is AIP these days? In this post, I am going to offer a new way to look at AIP. Since AIP has been introduced it seems that there is an attempt to define it. That has value because when you go to the grocery store you need to know what food to buy,…

Transforming Trauma: It Is Good For Your Health

Why Trauma Matters in Your Disease Timeline and How We Can Turn It Into Opportunity We cannot change our past or the childhood we had. We can however, create a different relationship to our past. And that has the ability to change our biology right now. Then what is our burden becomes a blessing. I…

Creating An Autoimmune Paleo Health Plan

As science progresses, so should AIP. What I did clinically two years ago with my AIP clients is vastly different that what I do now. As I see it, AIP will slowly fade away as a generalized diet and instead your individualized AIP diet will be the starting place based on your physiology. And the…

How to Love Illness in 4 Steps!

Life will not leave one stone unturned. It won’t. Life loves us too much not to. So whatever our issue is, life asks us to examine it from every angle and resolve it. Love asks us to do this for ourselves. That is why love is ruthless. It is ruthless for you. It won’t ever…

Suffering & Autoimmune Disease

In my humanness, I experience suffering. I am not yet enlightened enough to say it does not exist for me. I can almost measure suffering as the distance between where I am and where I want to be. But I do clearly see my suffering almost always occurs from being attached to things like…

Love is Going To Catch You

I had an experience recently that was incredibly sad. I said goodbye to someone I did not want to say goodbye to. One of the upsides/downsides to working in the intuitive realm is that usually I know when these things are coming. The last 3 or 4 days I felt things brewing, but did…

Falling In Love With Yourself and My Favorite Things List

Valentine’s Day is one of those days that can be tough for some. It has the power to reflect back to you what you think you don’t have in relationships just like a disease does. Disease can seem like it is reflecting back to you the lack of health. And those two scenarios are powerful…

How To Trust Illness

As I am sitting on a plane flying home from a meditation retreat centered around loving, I am weeping. Surely the young guy next to me is wondering what the heck is going on. It is kind of that ugly cry too…when the only tissue I have is sort of disintegrating and snot is everywhere….
