AIP is shorthand for the Autoimmune Protocol. It is a science-based elimination and reintroduction diet and lifestyle protocol. It focuses on repairing gut health, balancing hormones, and regulating the immune system.

The dietary component includes removing food-driven sources of inflammation and restoring nutrient density, while the lifestyle component includes approaches to sleep, stress management, movement, and connection (both with humans and nature), in order to help best manage autoimmune disease. It has been used successfully alone or in combination with conventional treatments, depending on a person’s needs, and has even been the focus of medical research.

All of the speakers are health and wellness professions who are also AIP Certified Coaches. Learn more about the AIP Certified Coach practitioner training program here.

The organizer and host of this summit is Jaime Hartman, an experienced educator and board certified health coach, who has lived with autoimmune disease since she was a teenager. In 2013, Jaime was one of the earliest people creating recipes for the AIP and sharing her experiences as she used the protocol to improve her quality of life on her blog Gutsy By Nature.

Not at all! If you are an AIP veteran or have long since moved beyond the elimination phase through the reintroduction and maintenance phases of the protocol, there will still be lots of valuable content for you. 

Our mission is to create high quality and reliable information on the Autoimmune Protocol and we aim to make that information available for all to access, regardless of ability to pay. Therefore, the main sessions of the AIP Summit are open to the public for free.

For the first five years of the AIP Summit we recouped our expenses through business partnerships and sales of the recordings, but since 2024 we have proudly been member supported! 

Members receive unlimited access to the archives of our content and several other exclusive perks, plus the knowledge that they are helping us create reliable content that will provide inspiration and support that helps other people living with autoimmune disease find wellness and a greater quality of life. Monthly and annual options are available, click here to learn more.

Members of the AIP Summit Community have full access to our archives, which includes the recordings from all events we've held since 2020. Click the button below this FAQ section to learn more about membership.
