Kitchen Confidence: Your AIP Kitchen Starter Kit | Small Bite (Ep 066)
Kitchen Confidence: Your AIP Kitchen Starter Kit (Small Bite) | Episode 66
Episode Timeline
If you’re starting AIP — or refining your approach — it’s easy to assume you need to buy new ingredients, new tools, or completely overhaul your kitchen before you begin.
But sustainable success on AIP doesn’t start with buying more. It starts with clarity.
In this Small Bite episode of the Autoimmune Wellness Podcast, Mickey Trescott walks you through how to set up your kitchen in a way that supports you through Transition, Elimination, Reintroduction, and long-term maintenance.
From clearing out visual clutter to stocking foundational pantry items and choosing tools that truly matter, this episode focuses on building an environment that reduces friction, protects your energy, and makes cooking feel more manageable.
You’ll hear about:- Why kitchen setup directly impacts AIP sustainability
- Why clearing and organizing comes before buying anything new
- How to handle “not-right-now” foods during elimination
- The core pantry staples that make simple meals possible
- Cooking fats that are foundational for both Core and Modified AIP
- Flavor builders that prevent boredom and increase adherence
- Why shelf-stable proteins are essential for low-capacity days
- What tools actually matter (and what you don’t need)
- How to create a prep zone that reduces decision fatigue
- Why maintenance and organization protect your energy
Kitchen confidence isn’t about culinary skill — it’s about preparation.
