Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to maximizing autoimmune health through the

paleo-autoimmune protocol and functional medicine. 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 164.

So in support of my own autoimmune health, I take a sabbatical for the month of December,

and I choose two favorite episodes from my archives you might have missed.

This is the second one of those,

and it is all about the paleo autoimmune protocol answering the most frequently asked

questions that I have received over the years. And so I chose it as we head into the new year,

a lot of people are newly starting the AIP for the first time and may have some questions,

this will be really helpful for you. And for those of you who are AIP veterans, I think you'll

find this podcast interesting also because these are commonly asked questions by people who

have been doing this for a while too, and they're just wondering about certain things. And I think

you'll be intrigued by the answers we

unveiled today. Before we dive into that conversation, though, I just want to remind everyone

about my website and the resources available to you there. I know a lot of my listeners also read

my blog. If any of you listen to this podcast and have never visited my website, you are missing out. So let me tell you a little bit

about what you'll find there. First of all, there's always very detailed show notes on every episode.
