The first official update to the popular science-backed, anti-inflammatory approach to managing autoimmune disease, complete with meal plans and 70+ recipes—from founding leader of the Autoimmune Protocol movement, Mickey Trescott.
Rates of autoimmune diagnosis have been rising dramatically and so too has interest in the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), a science-backed dietary and lifestyle protocol. Feedback from thousands of practitioners and millions of patients, as well as new research, has indicated that AIP needs an update: many patients see results before extensive dietary eliminations. In The New Autoimmune Protocol, leading AIP authority Mickey Trescott explains not only the basics of autoimmune disease and new medical research, but also a new addition to the protocol: Modified AIP Elimination, which will make relief achievable by many more autoimmune sufferers.
The New Autoimmune Protocol includes detailed meal plans and more than 70 AIP-friendly recipes, divided into two essential sections:
This hybrid program guide and cookbook walks readers through the essential phases of AIP—transition, elimination, and reintroduction. Modified AIP recipes include Buckwheat Protein Porridge, Cozy White Bean Stew, Fall Veggies and Beef with Quinoa and Tahini Sauce, and Green Chicken Soba and Shiitake Mushroom Salad.
This book arms readers with flexible meal plans, delicious recipes, and the knowledge they need to regain their vitality whether they decide on Core or Modified AIP.

Nutrivore: The Radical New Science for Getting the Nutrients You Need from the Food You Eat
If you’re familiar with Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, author of Paleo Principles and the original Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), you’ll know her work has always emphasized the importance of nutrient density for optimal health. Over the past few years, she has raised concerns about long-term restriction and the potential for food fear when protocols are applied too rigidly.
Her latest work, Nutrivore, builds on this foundation by offering a flexible, science-backed approach to nutrition that focuses on getting essential vitamins and minerals from a wide variety of foods—without dieting, restriction, or guilt. By highlighting twelve foundational food families and providing practical tools to personalize your diet, Nutrivore makes it possible to nourish your body, support long-term wellness, and enjoy food without fear.
While Dr. Sarah has shifted her focus to Nutrivore, it’s important to note that this doesn’t diminish the scientific evidence supporting the AIP when used appropriately—as a short-term elimination diet combined with careful reintroductions and attention to lifestyle foundations. Both approaches share the same goal: empowering you to achieve lasting health through nutrient-rich, thoughtful eating.
