It’s a therapeutic framework designed to reduce inflammation, support gut and immune health, and create space for healing in people navigating autoimmune disease. Recently, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Chef, and respected author Mickey Trescott shared important news: the release of updated research and an evolved approach to AIP, which now includes what is referred to as Modified AIP.

The opportunity in 2026 is to use the best of these trends without getting pulled into hype, overwhelm, or expensive protocols that don’t move the needle.
