## Resource

In this episode of Thyroid Pharmacist Healing Conversations, Dr. Izabella Wentz interviews Mickey Trescott, a nutrition expert and pioneer in the autoimmune protocol (AIP) movement.

How food can drive real, measurable remission in autoimmune disease.

AIP works by clearing the slate so you can actually hear what your body is telling you. Why the “modified AIP” approach may be a better starting point. After years of clinical experience and research, Mickey shares why a more flexible version of AIP (including foods like rice and certai…
