Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to maximizing autoimmune health through the paleo diet and lifestyle.

While there is no cure for autoimmune disease, the choices we make every day can have a powerful impact on how we feel.

I'm Eileen Laird, your host from PhoenixHelix.com, and I reduced my rheumatoid arthritis pain by 95% which took me from a life of excruciating

pain and disability back to a full and beautiful life a short disclaimer I'm neither a doctor

nor a nutritionist and the opinions expressed here are personal always consult with

your health care team before making medical decisions. Now let's get

on to the show. Welcome to episode 112. This is the second of the best of podcasts I'm running in December. In case you

didn't catch the episode on December 14th, I am taking a sabbatical this month. This episode airs on December 28th, so I'll actually be coming

back to work in just a few days. But one of the ways I take care of my own autoimmune health

is to try to take it easy towards the end of the year so that I can start the new year, fresh and

rejuvenated. And it's also really fun for me to dive into the archives and pick which

episodes I want to feature. So the first best of episode, I focused on food. It was a bunch of

really great tips on paleo cooking and baking, including tips for the autoimmune protocol.

But if you're a regular listener to this podcast, you know that maximizing autoimmune health isn't

just about the food we eat.

It's also about lifestyle choices that embrace so much more than food.

So that's the episode I'm pulling from the archives today.

It originally aired three years ago, but it's a timeless topic.

It's called Beyond Food Healing Lifestyle.

Dr. Sarah Valentine is the author of the Paleo Approach,

which is considered the AIP Bible.

She's been on this podcast a number of times.
