INTRODUCTION TO AIP

Welcome to the world of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP)! If you're here, you're probably tired of feeling like your body is a mystery novel where the plot twist involves constant inflammation and discomfort. Well, buckle up, because AIP is like the detective who comes in to solve the case.

Imagine your immune system is a bit like an overzealous bouncer at a club. It’s supposed to keep out the bad guys (like viruses and bacteria), but sometimes it gets a little too enthusiastic and starts kicking out the good guys, too. This is where autoimmune diseases come in, making your life feel like a perpetual game of dodgeball where you’re the target. AIP steps in to calm things down.
