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.

| 0:00.0 | My name is Ben Greenfield, and on this episode of the Boundless Life podcast. |
| 0:05.0 | I was bedridden, I couldn't work, I couldn't function, and again, at 26 years old, |
| 0:10.0 | starting to not tolerate my workouts, so I was super active, so we don't know why you're so tired, |
| 0:15.0 | we don't know why you're so cold. Basically, maybe it's depression. |
| 0:20.0 | I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's and celiac when I was 26, |
| 0:23.6 | and I knew they were wrong. Welcome to The Boundless Life with me, your host, Ben Greenfield. |
| 0:30.4 | I'm a personal trainer, exercise physiologist, and nutritionist, and I'm passionate about helping |
| 0:35.3 | you discover unparalleled levels of health, fitness, longevity, and beyond. |
| 0:46.0 | You hear a lot about minerals lately, how foundational they are, and one that pops up a lot that I think some people are still unfamiliar with, however, is copper. |
| 0:55.5 | A lot of people don't realize that they might be low in copper, especially if they've been |
| 0:59.9 | under chronic stress or even taking a supplement like zinc over the years. So there's a company |
| 1:07.3 | I've found recently called Formula IQ, and they make a product called Recuperate IQ. |
| 1:12.9 | It is copper paired with the cofactors the body actually uses to handle copper properly. |
| 1:18.9 | So it's designed to support things like mitochondrial energy, iron balance, and overall metabolic health. |
| 1:26.0 | And so because copper is a foundational mineral that quietly supports a lot of systems that people |
| 1:32.9 | sometimes overlook, if you're running low on energy, it is worth exploring all the minerals |
| 1:39.4 | with this copper supplement being one that I think would benefit a lot of people. And if you want to |
| 1:45.2 | check it out and learn more about the science, go to formula IQ.com. You can use code Ben at checkout for 10% |
| 1:52.0 | off. That's code Ben at formula IQ.com. All right, I've been asked about this, this little can I take out |
| 2:00.6 | my pocket sometimes and I'm at dinner. |
| 2:03.0 | I take it out and people like, oh, is that a Zen? Can I grab one, bro? Is that nicotine? |
| 2:06.9 | It's not. It's a healthy alternative to nicotine that does not result in the vasoconstriction. |
