Have you ever wondered if what you eat is making your Hashimoto's worse — or if changing your diet could actually make a real difference?

If you've heard of the AIP diet but felt overwhelmed, confused about where to start, or worried it meant giving up food you love forever, this episode is for you. The modified AIP diet Hashimoto's patients are using today looks very different from what it was 15 years ago — and the research behind it is finally catching up.

In this episode, Esther sits down with Mickey Trescott, functional nutrition expert, Hashimoto's patient, and author of the brand new book The New Autoimmune Protocol. Mickey shares how AIP has evolved from a single sentence in functional medicine circles into a research-backed, two-phase protocol with human studies to support it — including two studies specific to Hashimoto's.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why AIP is a tool and a process, not a permanent diet — and what it's actually designed to do
• What modified AIP is, how it differs from core AIP, and why it may be more realistic for your real life
• Why preparation matters more than the diet itself, and the two exercises Mickey uses to set people up for success before they change a single thing they eat

Hit play and find out if the modified AIP diet might be the missing piece in your Hashimoto's strategy.
