What is the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP)?
The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is a structured nutrition and lifestyle framework designed to help individuals identify foods and habits that may contribute to inflammation and autoimmune symptoms.
While AIP is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure disease, many people find it valuable for understanding how nutrition and lifestyle choices may affect their overall well-being.
Stephanie helps clients navigate the AIP process in a practical and supportive way, removing much of the confusion and overwhelm that often comes with trying to do it alone.
