Autoimmune-Animal-Based Elimination Diet?

1 month is doable. A #biohacker can push through anything to get to the root of symptoms that pop up in the body…

Including an elimination diet. Currently I’m doing a combo of #AIP + #AnimalBased. We could call it the Autoimmune-Animal-Based #EliminatonDiet! (AABED? LOL)

I had a thyroid scan done 2 wks ago due to intermittent tightness around my thyroid area that started recently. At first I brushed it off because it’s allergy season in Texas, but the symptom would come in waves, even when pollen counts were reported as high for continuous days.

My scan results were reported “as expected for autoimmune #thyroiditis:”

-Textural irregularities (damage) due to #antibody activity
-A nodule that has a 5-20% chance of malignancy but is too small to biopsy at this point 😳
-Repeat scan in 1-2 years

You know I don’t accept the “your disease is progressing as expected” conventional approach.

So I decided to go AABED & nip this in the bud to see if it was related to what I was putting in my mouth.

The 1st time I had a scan was about 8 yrs ago. It was ordered because I had a tiny nodule that was sending what felt like hot, electric pulses through my #thyroid. When I biohacked *back then* I found out it was the egg white powder in the protein bars I had recently added to my diet. I tolerated whole egg in moderation but not BUKU EGG WHITES.

Fast fwd to 2025: I’ve been eating a LOT more eggs. And nuts. And seeds. And decaf coffee. And stevia / monk fruit. Plus occasional gluten-free grains & dairy (hello, Udi’s pizza crust from Domino’s + cross contamination) even though they bother my gut & trigger inflammation. Naughty!

I cut ALL that sh*t out last Monday, honey.

I’d been letting too much slide on my casual 80/20 approach that I began last year because I just wanted to LIVE, dammitt.

The results after 1 wk of AABED (which also includes swapping synthetic thyroid meds back to rx NDT, & I’ll talk about that later this week):

-Tightness almost GONE within 3 days
-Down 3 lb unexpectedly

Hallelujah. 🙏😘
