The Science Behind the AIP Diet
The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet is not just another fad diet – it’s rooted in scientific principles aimed at healing from within. Research shows that many autoimmune conditions are linked to gut health. A damaged gut lining, often called “leaky gut,” allows undigested food particles and toxins to enter the bloodstream, triggering an immune response. The AIP diet is designed to heal the gut by removing foods that cause irritation and focusing on foods that are rich in nutrients that promote gut health. Over time, this diet has been shown to reduce inflammation, balance hormones, and improve overall immune system function. While scientific studies on AIP are still in their early stages, personal stories and case studies provide promising evidence of its effectiveness.
