The New Autoimmune Protocol: The Complete Guide to Managing Autoimmune Disease, with 75 Delicious Recipes
The first official update to the popular science-backed, anti-inflammatory approach to managing autoimmune disease, complete with meal plans and 70+ recipes—from a founding leader of the Autoimmune Protocol movement
Rates of autoimmune diagnosis have been rising dramatically and so too has interest in the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), a science-backed dietary and lifestyle protocol. Feedback from thousands of practitioners and millions of patients, as well as new research, has indicated that AIP needs an update: many patients see results before extensive dietary eliminations. In The New Autoimmune Protocol, leading AIP authority Mickey Trescott explains not only the basics of autoimmune disease and new medical research, but also a new addition to the protocol: Modified AIP Elimination, which will make relief achievable by many more autoimmune sufferers.
The New Autoimmune Protocol includes detailed meal plans and more than 70 AIP-friendly recipes, divided into two essential sections:
Core AIP Recipes & Meal Plans: following the standard AIP elimination protocol (eliminating all grains, gluten, dairy, legumes, nightshades, processed vegetable oils, nuts and nut oils, seeds and seed oils, alcohol, and processed food chemicals)
Modified AIP Recipes & Meal Plans: the new AIP elimination protocol which is less-restricted and now includes ghee, rice, pseudo-grains, legumes (except soy), and seeds.
This hybrid program guide and cookbook walks readers through the essential phases of AIP—transition, elimination, and reintroduction. Modified AIP recipes include Buckwheat Protein Porridge, Cozy White Bean Stew, Fall Veggies and Beef with Quinoa and Tahini Sauce, and Green Chicken Soba and Shiitake Mushroom Salad.
This book arms readers with flexible meal plans, delicious recipes, and the knowledge they need to regain their vitality whether they decide on Core or Modified AIP.

Finally, a comprehensive guide to all things AIP. This book is honestly my new go to. It clearly defines the 3 phases of AIP, dives into the science while keeping it clear and approachable and is filled with Mickey Trescott's fantastic recipes. I also love that the recipes are simple, yet super tasty but won't take me hours to make. This is a tool that is truly overdue for our community and I'm so glad it's here!

For years, I've watched people in the AIP community struggle to separate fact from fiction as conversations around the protocol evolved and new information emerged. While we saw important updates to the AIP in 2024, what was missing was a comprehensive, up-to-date resource that brought everything together in one place.
This book finally does that.
The New Autoimmune Protocol doesn't replace the original AIP framework—it builds on it. Mickey has done an incredible job integrating updated research, practitioner experience, and years of community feedback into a clear, practical guide that answers many of the questions people have been asking.
What I appreciate most is the clarity. The book explains the differences between Core and Modified AIP, clearly defines the transition stage, and addresses one of the biggest areas of confusion I've seen in the AIP community: when to begin reintroductions. Too many people have been left believing they need to wait until they're completely symptom-free before moving forward, which often leaves them stuck in elimination for months—or even years—longer than necessary. This book brings much-needed perspective to that conversation and reinforces that reintroductions are not optional; they're an essential part of the AIP journey.
Beyond the education, the book is incredibly practical. The recipes are approachable, the meal plans make implementation easier, and the links to downloadable resources and printables provide extra support for those who like to stay organized and track their progress.
Whether you're brand new to AIP or you've been following the protocol for years, this book belongs in your collection. In my opinion, it is now the definitive guide to the Autoimmune Protocol and the resource I'll be recommending to my own community going forward.
Beautifully written, thoughtfully organized, and grounded in both science and real-world experience, this is exactly the update the AIP community has been waiting for.

June 26, 2026Detailed information about how you can manage autoimmune disease as well as why this approach works. The elimination phase includes more food groups than you find in other books about diet and AIP.
I haven't included a rating because I haven't had time to put this in practice.
