The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is a nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory, whole food-based, elimination diet created to help individuals with autoimmune conditions manage their symptoms naturally, reduce inflammation and pain, and improve overall quality of life.

The AIP is a stricter version of the Paleo diet, which emphasizes nutrient-dense, whole foods and excludes certain foods and ingredients known to contribute to inflammation and immune system activation (immunogenicity).

AIP is based on ancestral principles and aligns with human evolutionary nutrition.
