Big news for the autoimmune community! 🎉

Tomorrow, May 26th, marks the official launch of The New Autoimmune Protocol by Mickey Trescott, MSc. — one of the original pioneers and leading voices behind the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP).

This book is especially meaningful to me because Mickey was one of my teachers as I became a certified AIP coach, and her work has helped shape the way so many practitioners and individuals approach autoimmune healing through nutrition and lifestyle support.

What makes this updated guide so exciting is that it reflects the latest research and a more flexible, personalized approach to AIP. It includes:
✨ An updated transition phase
✨ A new Modified AIP option for the elimination phase
✨ Practical tools and guidance
✨ Delicious recipes for both Core and Modified AIP

Whether you are newly navigating an autoimmune diagnosis, struggling with chronic inflammation, or simply wanting to better understand how food and lifestyle impact your health, this book is an incredible resource.

I’m so excited to see this updated version finally out in the world and available to support even more people on their healing journey. 💚

If autoimmune wellness is something you’ve been curious about, I highly encourage you to check it out! https://theautoimmuneprotocol.com/books/

Step into summer feeling your best 🌸

Spring is the perfect time to reset, and I’m inviting you to join me for something simple, supportive, and effective.

Join me for a guided 5-day reset designed to help you support your body’s natural detox and reclaim your energy.

This is not an extreme cleanse.

There are no juice fasts, starvation diets, or complicated protocols.

Instead, you’ll learn simple science-based nutrition and lifestyle practices that gently support your body — even if you’re dealing with chronic health challenges.

🌿 What we’ll focus on together:

Over the course of 5 days, I’ll guide you through simple, effective habits that support your:

Liver → processing toxins and excess hormones
​Gut → proper digestion and elimination
​Lymphatic system → moving waste and reducing stagnation

Each day builds on the next, focusing on:

• Hydration practices that support energy & clarity
• Nutrition that helps support liver & gut detox pathways
• Simple lymphatic movement to reduce sluggishness
• Sleep habits that support overnight detox & hormone balance
• Reducing your daily toxic load

💛 This is for you if:

You’re feeling:
– low energy or constantly fatigued
– bloated or inflamed
– out of rhythm with your body
– overwhelmed by where to start

And you want something that actually feels doable.

🌿 What makes this different:

No extremes.
No restriction.
No “starting over on Monday.”

Just simple, supportive habits that help your body do what it’s designed to do.

🗓️ We begin April 26th, and registration will be open for a limited time.

💚 If your body has been asking for a reset… this is your opportunity to give it one.

Take a breath with me for a second… 🤍

We say “take a cleansing breath” for a reason.

It’s not just about calming your mind (although that matters too). Every deep breath is actually helping your body do what it’s designed to do—clear things out and restore balance.

When you breathe deeply, you’re bringing fresh oxygen into your cells so they can function better, process waste, and keep things moving.

Your lungs are a big part of your detox system—working right alongside your liver, gut, kidneys, lymph, and skin.

But most of us are stuck in shallow, rushed breathing all day… and that means we’re missing out on this simple, built-in support.

So here’s your gentle reminder today:

Pause.
Unclench your jaw.
Drop your shoulders.
And take one slow, full breath in… and out.

It counts more than you think 💛

If you couldn’t check every box on that list… take a breath—you’re not alone and I can help 💛

Your body wants to detox. Sometimes it just needs a little support.

Simple shifts with food and lifestyle can make a big difference in how your body clears, restores, and feels.

Autoimmune healing isn’t just about what you eat.

It’s about whether your body feels safe.

When you’re dealing with:
• Overwhelming fatigue
• Digestive issues
• Hormone imbalances
• Fear of flare-ups

Your nervous system is often on high alert.

And here’s what happens next 👇

The body shifts into “fight or flight” (your sympathetic nervous system).

Then cortisol rises.

Cortisol isn’t the enemy. In fact, one of its jobs is to keep inflammation under control.

But when stress is constant — rushing, worrying, skipping meals, pushing through exhaustion — cortisol can become dysregulated.

And instead of calming inflammation...it can allow it to rise unchecked.

For someone with autoimmune disease, that matters deeply.

Because immune system dysregulation + chronic inflammation = more symptoms, more flares, and more frustration.

This is why immune healing is not just about food.

It’s about safety.

When your body feels safe, it can:
✨ Regulate immune responses
✨ Calm inflammation
✨ Improve digestion
✨ Support hormone balance
✨ Restore energy

Slow down.
Nourish consistently.
Rest intentionally.
Breathe deeply.

These aren’t “soft” strategies. They are science-based signals that tell your immune system it doesn’t need to stay in attack mode.

Inside my Autoimmune Transformation Program, we don’t just remove inflammatory foods.

We work on regulating the immune system through targeted nutrition AND lifestyle strategies that support your nervous system.

You deserve more than symptom management.

You deserve clarity, confidence, and a plan that helps your body feel safe enough to heal. 💛

If this resonates, book a discovery call with me — or download my Autoimmune Protocol Beginner’s Guide to take your first step.
Links for both are in my bio.

If you’re living with autoimmune disease and feel wired, inflamed, exhausted, or on edge…

🔥 Your nervous system may be stuck in overdrive.

When your body is stuck in “fight or flight,” it has a harder time shifting into “rest and repair.”

And for someone with autoimmune disease, that repair mode is everything.

Your immune system and nervous system are deeply connected. When your nervous system feels unsafe, overwhelmed, or constantly pushed, your immune system can stay activated too.

That ongoing activation can contribute to flares, fatigue, and inflammation.

A dysregulated nervous system is not a diagnosis.
There’s no quick prescription for it.

💥 But recognizing this pattern is powerful.

🎁 Because when we begin supporting your nervous system intentionally — through targeted nutrition, gut support, intentional rest, and gentle daily habits — we create the foundation your immune system needs to calm down.

This is a core part of the work we do inside my Autoimmune Transformation Program. We teach your body how to feel safe again.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing simple, science-backed ways to support nervous system regulation.

What questions do you have?

The new 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines are out—and so is a brand-new food pyramid.

❓Are you asking:
“How does this actually apply to me?”—this is for you.

When national nutrition guidance changes, it often sparks confusion, debate, and strong opinions.

✅ I want to be transparent about something:
My role isn’t to endorse or dismiss dietary guidelines—it’s to help you understand them, question them thoughtfully, and apply what actually supports your individual health needs.

My latest newsletter focuses on breaking down Guidelines—what I appreciate, where I have concerns, and why individualized nutrition matters more than ever.

If you’ve been feeling uncertain, curious, or simply want a more nuanced approach, let's talk.

Hormone-Supportive Meals Made Simple 💚

If you’re living with an autoimmune condition, supporting your hormones is key.

When blood sugar and stress hormones are on a rollercoaster, inflammation rises and your immune system feels the impact.

That’s why I created the 3-Day Hormone Health Meal Map:

✔ Simple, hormone-supportive meals
✔ Blood sugar–steadying snacks
✔ Easy swaps (because life happens!)

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about finding a rhythm that makes your hormones feel supported.

Easily create flexible meals that support metabolism, energy and mood. Includes guiding principles you can lean into when life gets messy.

No shade to water… but without these essential minerals, it can dilute what your body needs for cellular function.

Without replenishing minerals, your electrolyte levels can dip, causing symptoms like:

🌀 Dizziness
💥 Fatigue
💭 Brain fog
⚡ Muscle cramps
☁️ Headaches
🧂 Craving salty foods
❤️ Irregular heartbeat

These can all be signs your body is low on electrolytes—not just dehydrated.

That’s why I created ‘Refresh and Restore’ - a free AIP friendly recipe pack with 20 hydrating summer drinks.

Each recipe is crafted to support hydration and electrolyte balance—with ingredients that help calm inflammation, and replenish essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium.

Ready to sip your way to better summer energy?

Detox isn’t something you do once. 👇
Your liver, kidneys, gut, lymph, and skin work 24/7 to clear out toxins.

But when those systems are overloaded, inflammation can build up.
So instead of another detox kit, what your body really needs is daily support:
🥦 Nutrient-dense foods that help your liver do its job
💧 Consistent hydration to flush things out
🏃‍♀️ Gentle movement to keep your lymphatic system flowing
💩 Regular elimination to remove waste
🥵 Sweating (even mild) to support skin detox

If your body feels inflamed, sluggish, or sensitive—your detox pathways are likely needing support.
