In this episode with Mickey Trescott, you'll hear how she went from bedridden at 26 with Hashimoto's and celiac to overseeing four pilot trials, helping grow a community of 1,000 trained AIP practitioners, and writing the first official update to the Autoimmune Protocol, including a new modified version for people who found the original too restrictive.

We cover what a full day of eating on AIP actually looks like, why food sensitivity panels cannot replace elimination and reintroduction, how to use WHOOP to track food reactions, the genetics of autoimmunity, the iodine problem in Hashimoto's, and why three out of four people who follow AIP properly get meaningful clinical improvement.

Mickey is a nutrition professional and one of the founding leaders of the Autoimmune Protocol movement. She wrote the original AIP cookbook, which became the definitive guide to the protocol. Her new book, The New Autoimmune Protocol, releasing May 26, 2026, includes detailed meal plans and 70+ recipes across both the core and modified protocols. Pre-order your copy here.
