About PATH Gourmet

PATH Gourmet is a meal delivery service. We produce freshly prepared AIP compliant meals to the Broward County Florida area. Our meals are made using the highest quality grass-fed beef, free range or organic chicken and pasture raised pork, wild caught fish, and the freshest organic vegetables whenever available. They are chef inspired, restaurant quality because we believe that that food can be delicious, AIP compliant anti-inflammatory and nutrient dense all at the same time.

Weather you are just getting started with the AIP lifestyle or struggling to stay on the diet because of all the cooking required we understand and are here to help take some of the stress away. Because our meals are AIP compliant, they are also Paleo and Whole 30 compliant as well. Many of our dishes adhere to Dr. Gundry’s Plant Paradox Diet as well.

What is AIP?

Content extracted from Phoenix | Helix

The paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) is the brainchild of Dr. Loren Cordain, a scientist who discovered that certain primal foods can sometimes trigger inflammation in people with autoimmune disease (dairy, eggs, nightshades, nuts and seeds).

Robb Wolf outlined the AIP in his book, The Paleo Solution, introducing it as an elimination diet (you eliminate certain foods for 30 days and then reintroduce them one at a time, to test your body for food intolerance.)

Then Dr. Sarah Ballantyne came on the scene, aka the Paleo Mom. As a scientist with autoimmunity, she was very interested in the autoimmune protocol. She delved into the research, wrote a series of articles explaining the science behind it, and eventually expanded the AIP to the version detailed in her book, The Paleo Approach, which I’ve outlined in the table below. Sarah is now the leading expert on the autoimmune protocol.

Phoenix Helix is known for making the AIP easy to understand and follow, which is why I asked her permission to share this summary. I also recommend her book, A Simple Guide to the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol.

Why AIP

I cannot speak for everyone but in my case, I feel that my health and wellness has been turned around with AIP. This elimination diet which is so restrictive at the beginning is worth it. I am a true believer that the food you eat is medicine that can heal your body. Even aches and pains that I had no idea were related to my auto-immune disorder disappeared on AIP. You also gain so much knowledge about your own body by eliminating and then adding foods one at a time to see what works for you.
