Episode 85: Developing Your Personal Health Vision with Jaime Hartman

When starting the Autoimmune Protocol, it’s easy to focus on the details—what to eat, what to remove, and how to do everything “right.” But there’s a deeper question that often gets overlooked: what are you actually working toward?

In this episode of the Autoimmune Wellness Podcast, Mickey Trescott is joined by Jaime Hartman, National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, educator, and co-teacher of the AIP Certified Coach Program, to explore the concept of a personal health vision.

This conversation introduces a foundational mindset shift—moving beyond short-term goals and into a clear, personalized vision of what health means to you. Jaime explains how this approach helps guide decisions, build resilience, and create a more sustainable path through AIP and beyond.

Together, they explore how defining your vision can help you stay grounded, communicate your needs, and navigate the complexities of chronic illness with more clarity and purpose.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The difference between a health goal and a personal health vision
• Why having a clear vision makes AIP more sustainable and meaningful
• How different models of health (medical, holistic, and wellness) shape your perspective
• Why a personal health vision acts as a compass during challenging moments
• How to use your vision to make decisions about priorities, support, and care
• Real-life examples of how health vision influences daily choices and long-term strategy
• How your vision can help guide reintroductions and lifestyle flexibility
• Why personal values, relationships, and purpose are essential parts of healing
• Journaling prompts and visualization techniques to help define your vision
• How to approach this process if you feel discouraged, disconnected, or unsure what’s possible
