Reintroduction is often the most misunderstood—and most powerful—phase of the Autoimmune Protocol. While elimination helps calm inflammation, reintroductions are what allow you to build a personalized, sustainable way of eating that supports your long-term health. In this episode, Mickey explains why reintroduction is not optional, how it’s changed with recent AIP updates, and why staying in elimination too long can actually work against healing.

Mickey walks through how to know when you’re ready to begin, how to reintroduce foods safely, and how to interpret your body’s feedback so you can expand your diet with confidence.
This episode provides a clear, step-by-step framework for navigating reintroductions without fear or confusion—helping you move from a structured healing phase into a flexible, personalized approach to eating that works for your body and your life.
