Three Phases to Sustainable Wellness
The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) began as a grassroots movement over a decade ago, when patients came together to share their stories of healing. Since then, it has grown into a global community supported by medical research, healthcare providers, and thousands of success stories.
The heart of AIP is a simple three-phase process—transition, elimination, and reintroduction—that helps you uncover your unique triggers and create a lifelong plan for wellness. Whether you’re just starting out or refining what you’ve already learned, you’ll find encouragement, clarity, and connection every step of the way.
Transition
Get ready for change
This phase helps you prepare for success. You’ll track your symptoms, set realistic goals, and gradually shift toward AIP eating and lifestyle habits at a pace that works for you.
START TRANSITIONElimination
Reset and Rebuild
In this phase, you’ll remove foods that commonly trigger symptoms while focusing on nutrient-dense healing foods. Choose between Core AIP (the original, full elimination) and Modified AIP (a more accessible version updated in 2024). Both are proven to help reduce inflammation and support healing.
EXPLORE ELIMINATIONReintroduction
Find what works for you
After 30–90 days of elimination, you’ll systematically reintroduce foods to see what your body tolerates best. This phase empowers you to build a long-term, personalized way of eating that balances nourishment, flexibility, and joy.

About the Founder:
Mickey Trescott, MSc.
Hi, I’m Mickey, and I know what it’s like to live with autoimmune disease. In my mid-20s, I was diagnosed with both Hashimoto’s and celiac disease after years of crushing fatigue, anxiety, and a long list of mysterious symptoms.
It was overwhelming and honestly pretty scary—I wanted to feel better, but I wasn’t sure where to start. That’s when I discovered AIP, which gave me back my energy, improved my symptoms, and showed me that I could play an active role in my own healing. It wasn’t an overnight transformation, but step by step I began to feel like myself again.
I’ve been part of the AIP community since the very beginning, helping it grow from a small grassroots experiment into a global movement now supported by millions. Over the past 12+ years, I’ve had the privilege of watching AIP transform lives, while also evolving alongside new medical research, practitioner insights, and patient experiences. Along the way, I wrote four international best-selling books, including The Nutrient-Dense Kitchen and The New Autoimmune Protocol. My work has always centered on making AIP practical, accessible, and sustainable—so that anyone, anywhere, can put it into action.
Today, AIP is both science-backed and community-proven, and my mission is to guide the next wave of people seeking healing using this powerful framework.
