autoimmune protocol (AIP)
The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is a specialized diet designed to reduce inflammation and support the immune system in individuals with autoimmune diseases. It involves eliminating foods that may trigger immune responses, such as grains, dairy, processed foods, legumes, and certain additives. Instead, it emphasizes nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory foods like vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, and quality meats. The goal is to minimize immune system triggers, promote gut health, and gradually reintroduce foods to identify personal sensitivities. AIP is often used alongside medical treatment to help manage symptoms and improve overall well-being.
