The Loving Diet

I’m sharing this book by Jessica Flanigan almost a little reluctantly (keep reading to find out why) but I think it’s worth the read if you’re stalled on AIP and are NOT finding healing.

She used to be a big advocate of the AIP diet but saw that a lot of her patients ended up “Stuck” … and with that she’s turned a bit “Anti-AIP.”

I’ve watched her in live FB talks and she believes that AIP helps people, but that people also fail to do it correctly – i.e. they don’t seek professional help, they don’t progress through all stages of the AIP, and they also don’t address many of the big lifestyle factors that we need to manage while facing autoimmune disease.

Jessica strongly believes that emotional and spiritual healing are necessary for optimal health, and I do believe some of her approaches warrant consideration…. so here you go!
