Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to reversing autoimmune disease 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 symptoms 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 57. Our topic today is living an empowered autoimmune life. My guests are Angie Alt and Mickey Trescott from AutoimmunePaleo.com. They are both authors independently. Mickey wrote the very first AIP cookbook called the autoimmune paleo cookbook.

It's still one of the best out there.

Angie wrote the alternative autoimmune cookbook, which is unique because in addition to recipes,

it also includes essays about the emotional side of life with autoimmune disease.

Now they've written a book together.

It's called the Autoimmune Wellness Handbook, and it's the ultimate empowerment tool offering step-by-step guidance into the many ways we can impact our health.

Mickey and Angie are also friends of mine. We are three of the original AIP bloggers writing about our health journeys when very few people were doing that.

Since then, the paleo-autoimmune community has grown exponentially, and it's been really exciting to watch.

And I know one of their goals with this book is to spread this message to an even wider audience.

So welcome to the show, Mickey and Angie.

Thank you, Eileen, for having us.

We're so excited to be here.

Happy to be here with the original gangsters,

Eileen. There you go.
