🥬 Healing Through Food: Tips for Lyme Disease & AIP
Living with Lyme disease or navigating an autoimmune condition can feel overwhelming—especially when it comes to food. The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is designed to calm inflammation, restore gut health, and provide your body with nutrient-dense foods it needs for healing.
💡 Tips for AIP-Friendly Eating with Lyme Disease
Prioritize anti-inflammatory foods – Grass-fed meats, wild-caught fish, bone broth, leafy greens, and colorful veggies.
Skip the triggers – AIP eliminates gluten, grains, dairy, legumes, nightshades (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, potatoes), nuts, seeds, and processed sugars.
Focus on gut-healing staples – Fermented foods (like sauerkraut), coconut yogurt, and collagen-rich broth.
Plan simple meals – Roasted veggies + protein + healthy fat (avocado, olive oil) make a quick AIP plate.
Hydrate + Rest – Lyme recovery needs more than food—hydration, gentle movement, and rest matter too.
