Community Update – June 2016

FB_Post#4

The monthly Community Update is where we give you a heads up on some great offerings in the way of podcasts, video series, and local in-person meet-up groups. If you have started a local support group on Facebook (no pages please), send us the link through our contact page and we will promote it monthly.

Access the Healing Hashimoto’s Summit

In early June, the world’s foremost Hashimoto’s practitioners and researchers came together for the Healing Hashimoto’s Summit, a 7-day online event in which they shared exclusive video presentations on all aspects of the disease – diagnosis, management, medications and more.

Presenters included Dr. Datis Kharrazian, Izabella Wentz, PharmD., Dr. Amy Myers, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, and our very own Mickey Trescott!

If you missed any of the action, don’t worry! You can still order all 21 video presentations, follow-up audio discussions, and full interview transcripts (plus bonus content), which you’ll have access to forever!

Few practitioners are experienced in Hashimoto’s treatment, which means it crucial to be an informed patient. The info in these presentations is priceless.

AIP Meetup Groups

Find a local networking group centered around the Autoimmune Protocol! Be advised that these are not disease-specific support groups, but are to facilitate in-person networking and support for those on or considering the Autoimmune Protocol. Each group has their own moderation and rules for membership, but generally they are private and supportive of those on their healing journeys. Know that this listing does not imply endorsement by Autoimmune Paleo, groups are not run by us, and your request to join and any information you may encounter in these groups is at your own risk.

If possible, please request membership in a group local to where you live — after all, the whole idea is to get together with others in your community who are facing similar challenges! Health coaches, practitioners, online marketers, and others trying to sell their products, know that many of these groups are well moderated and solicitation will not be tolerated. If there isn’t a group near you, consider starting your own and letting us know about it on our contact page!
