Exploring the Autoimmune-Friendly Diet: Heal and Thrive

Exploring the Autoimmune-Friendly Diet: Heal and Thrive

Have you considered trying the autoimmune-friendly approach to eating? This dietary method focuses on reducing inflammation, supporting recovery, and boosting energy levels. While it’s specifically designed to help manage autoimmune conditions and repair leaky gut, it offers incredible benefits for anyone seeking improved overall health!

What to Focus On:

  • Organic, grass-fed meats
  • Wild-caught fish
  • Healthy fats like avocado and olive oil
  • Fermented foods for gut health (hello, kimchi!)
  • A variety of colorful veggies

Including plenty of vegetables can promote healthy gut bacteria, detoxify the liver, and enhance immune system function.

Foods to Avoid:

  • Sugary treats and sweeteners (including honey and agave)
  • High-sugar fruits like watermelon and mango
  • Nightshades such as tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers
  • Mushrooms
  • Grains (e.g., wheat, oats, rice, quinoa)
  • Dairy (milk, cheese, butter, cream)
  • Eggs (usually fine unless you’re on the strict autoimmune protocol)
  • Soy-based products
  • Alcohol
  • Processed and canned foods

The Goal: Lower inflammation and heal from within!
