What am I doing wrong? (08:15) Is there science behind the AIP diet? (16:45) Do I need to avoid products that have non AIP ingredients in them if I'm just putting them on my skin, if I'm not actually going to eat them? (19:46) What are the most common mistakes people make during the reintroduction phase? (25:17) A number of my symptoms don't happen when I've had a food once, but after the second or third time eating it, and then in this person wrote, having eggs two mornings in a row, watch for these foods, should they be relegated to the avoid category? (32:28) The longer I've had autoimmune disease, the more medical appointments, even labs or dental visits, the more my body reacts to these stressors to that, all the calming techniques I have in my toolbox don't seem to work anymore. How can I tell my body it's safe?
