Presentation Description:
With autoimmune disease affecting over 50 million Americans, practitioners are likely to regularly see patients struggling with low quality of life due to autoimmunity and find the management of their cases is often complex. The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), a science-based elimination and reintroduction protocol, has anecdotally been a game-changer for thousands of autoimmune patients through the elimination of food-driven sources of inflammation and restoration of nutrient sufficiency. In this presentation, we go beyond the anecdotal and review the medical research conducted using autoimmune protocol interventions to date, introducing practitioners to the mounting evidence that it can significantly change their patient’s trajectory alone or in combination with conventional, naturopathic, or functional medicine treatments.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand each dietary phase (transition, maintenance, and reintroduction) and lifestyle intervention (sleep, stress management, movement, and connection) that are key components of implementing the Autoimmune Protocol as used in recent pilot studies.
- Understand key takeaways from recent human trials into the efficacy of the Autoimmune Protocol for IBD (Crohn's and ulcerative colitis) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, some of the most common autoimmune conditions encountered in clinical practice.
- Identify why food reintroduction is essential and understand takeaways from recent research into which foods are most likely to be tolerable or produce symptoms for patients with autoimmune disease.
