AIP Lecture Series

Wow! I am overwhelmed at all the amazing, dedicated work, you have done Sarah in order to corral the evidence and logic behind the AIP approach for us to sit back and digest! You are a truly dedicated scientist driven by insatiable curiosity and a caring heart to get this important information out into the world. Thank you.

I can’t thank you enough for sharing all your knowledge and insights. I’ve heard things from you that I’ve never heard from even a doctor. Also, your gentle and supportive way of encouraging us and giving us a template to work with has tremendously helped me.

In an industry full of guru-wanna-be’s and personalities pushing baseless miracle cures, I appreciate that you are recommending evidence based diet and lifestyle steps that do not require the purchase of special products or services. No gimmicks. Just real food and lifestyle habit recommendations based on science. Thank you!!

This is a super, information packed course with tons of practical information.

I am loving this AIP course and all the information I am receiving. The amount of work you have put into this is amazing and greatly, GREATLY, appreciated. Thank you so much. Taking this course gives me the knowledge I need to understand why my body is doing what it is doing and reinforces my determination to continue along this dietary path to heal it. Invaluable!

I am loving this course! Having the details is more motivating and helping me stick to AIP. I am actually thinking about what is happening in my body, not just how it feels.

This online learning resource and your teaching style are beyond amazing! I am so excited about what I am learning! This is way beyond what I was expecting.

You are so awesome. I’ve learned more useful information with a direct and immediate application to health in one 15+ minute video from you, than a 20-year stint of clinic and doctor office visits were able to provide.

You have impacted my life in such a great way! You are truly an inspiration! Your amazing research and phenomenal presentations of all your wisdom and knowledge has enlightened my world and has given me new found hope! I am eternally grateful to you! 

Thanks, Sarah Ballantyne for your time, commitment, and effort you have put in this course. You have been nothing but inspiring, professional, and generous sharing your ingenuity in such a short period of time. I love the energy and the enthusiasm you spark here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you for giving us all the support, tools, and feedback necessary to move forward in our individual journeys to health and healing. Most of all, thanks for giving me the best gift of all – Hope.

I’ve finished week 6 and I am really excited about the future and feel like I have a road map for investing my time, energy and money to increase my health and wellbeing. This is so very empowering. Thank you. I don’t think I can really express how much this class & your involvement in it has meant to me and its impact on my life.

You have been a life saver throughout my illness to wellness journey. Literally, had it not been for you and your expertise in the autoimmune disease arena, I may not have been here to testify how incredible the work you do is. When I learned you were producing the lecture series, I jumped at the chance to learn more so that I can better share the lifesaving knowledge and experience with my family and friends. It’s been amazing! It has been a true enlightening pleasure watching your series and being a part of the Facebook community and learning so much, I can’t thank you enough!!

Does anyone else just want to keep this lecture series going forever as much as I do? It’s been so incredibly eye-opening and helpful. Quite honestly, I am feeling more energetic and alert at the end of this 6 weeks. Thank you so much Dr Sarah Ballantyne. You have been a gift in my life! I do believe I’m off to a great start because of your course, your caring, your time and your positive uplifting support.

Thank you so much for helping me (and likely many others here) realize that we are not alone in these reactions! It creates a sense of not feeling alone in this journey and feeling a little less crazy. Because of you, I finally am beginning to feel like myself again (it’s been 22 years!), and I am hopeful that I have a long term blueprint to sustained health. THANK YOU!

Dr. Sarah, I cannot thank you enough for this amazing AIP course! It has been life changing for me and my entire family. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication, you are such an inspiration and I am so grateful for all the knowledge that you have shared with me so that I can help and motivate my loved ones to be better, healthier and happier every day. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who suffers from an autoimmune disease and to family members who want to help their loved ones.

The Autoimmune Lecture Series more than met my expectations. While not new to AIP, I learned how I can further improve my health by focusing on nutritional density, sleep quality and other lifestyle changes. I also have a better understanding of how different foods affect my body. The best part is I can go through the course again at a slower pace to reinforce the material and obtain what I missed the first time. Dr. Sarah Ballantyne has delivered an exceptional course and I highly recommend this to anyone looking to improve their health. There is something for everyone. Thank you Dr. Sarah for you sharing your incredible knowledge, dedication and drive. It was extremely helpful and worth the investment.

I loved the course; the books, are very informative, the format of the course with the videos and homework was conducive to studying hard, the quiz at the end was fun and rewarding. I like that the course has a varying degree of difficulty. Dr. Ballantyne has a talent for making complicated concepts easier to digest. I look forward to going back to the books for more in-depth understanding. I like the format of the course especially that some of the concepts were repeated at a different angle, forward and backward to assist learning.

From basic concepts, to the more esoteric or illusive, it all comes together in this forum. You will leave this course with a new array of tools and the necessary blueprint for building a sustainable and lifelong approach to personal health – beyond AIP. THANK YOU Dr. Sarah Ballantyne!

This has been an incredible class. Having been on AIP for a year and a half with the guidance of a dietician who is well versed in the diet, I wasn’t sure how much I would get out of it. But I have learned SOOOO much and have refined my diet in multiple ways. Your answers in the chat are so thoughtful. The money was SO worth it! Thank you!! You are doing incredible work and I would recommend this class to others in a second.

This class was exactly what I hoped it would be: informative, engaging, challenging (in a good way). But it went even further than my expectations with the depth of the information, engagement with other classmates, and most importantly the interaction with Dr Sarah Ballantyne herself and the wealth of knowledge she possesses. I can’t believe 6 weeks is over and I can’t believe how much more understanding I now have. An incredible investment in taking back health. I would recommend this class to those new to AIP as well as those who have been AIP for some time already.

You’ve done an amazing job on this course and so grateful I got in the first time around! The platform is easy to use and follow and so colorful. I used my family’s Christmas money to get this course because I knew it would be awesome and felt the best gift I can give them is my health, to be present to care for them. What I didn’t expect is that I’m using this knowledge to help them be healthier too! It’s the gift that keeps on giving!

I am thrilled that I took the plunge and signed up for this course. It will be my rock as I go forward on this autoimmune journey. I am hoping that its emphasis on science will help me convince others who struggle, especially my family, that there really is a way to combat autoimmune disease!

I can’t believe that I even hesitated to enroll in the “AIP Lecture Series”! Even though I’ve been following the AIP guidelines really well and have read your book, I’m still gleaning so many nuggets of gold in this online course. I’m learning much more than I ever imagined I would. I’m enjoying all the science behind AIP that you explain so well in the videos. I can’t believe the boost it has given me to be even more vigilant as to what I place in my mouth because I now understand better the important role that food has in my body.

Thank you so much, Sarah Ballantyne. This is such a life changing gift and inexpensive course for everything you are so graciously sharing with us!

Thanks to Dr. Sarah Ballantyne and this amazing course, I went ALL IN AIP last Sunday morning. That’s one full week, and I haven’t looked back! All of this incredible information and support has been so motivating.

Dr. Sarah, I can’t even believe your immense knowledge, compassion, and generosity to help all of us in this very personalized way. You are so encouraging and patient as you answer our questions and cheer us on. You are a mentor and inspiration to me, and I want you to know that you have impacted my life through this course in such a big way. I want to use your example to help those that I serve in my own life and profession with a more open heart than I ever have before. What you have taught me is more than about food, disease, and my body… you have taught me how to hope and dream big things for myself. You are living your purpose, and I want to be a better person because of you. Thank you, thank you for this course.

The Autoimmune Protocol Lecture Series has been a great experience which has provided the in depth science that I was looking for to take me back to Paleo and on my way to AIP. I am getting closer to full AIP and look forward to the benefits of doing so. Sarah’s passion for this subject is contagious and makes you excited to learn and start implementing the protocol. The format of the lecture series encourages study, reflection, and action. Wonderful course! I highly recommend it!!

Gaining more information is empowering and is resulting in creating dissonance within me. This dissonance is a good thing as it is a motivating factor for me to actually try the full AIP. And, the more I learn, the harder it is for me to continue eating some foods that I know are not good for me (potentially harmful). The information is presented in such a relatable way and one feels Dr. Ballantyne’s genuineness in wanting to share her knowledge and story with others. Dr. Ballantyne is so involved too and generous with her time (have found other online programs not so much). Much appreciated

This has been an incredible class. Having been on AIP for a year and a half with the guidance of a dietician who is well versed in the diet, I wasn’t sure how much I would get out of it. But I have learned SOOOO much and have refined my diet in multiple ways. Your answers in the chat are so thoughtful. The money was SO worth it! Thank you!! You are doing incredible work and I would recommend this class to others in a second.

This course is much more than I had hoped. As a 3 plus year veteran of AIP, I wasn’t sure if the course would be a lot of what I already know. But the depth of information, practical tips, and the accessible way you show me how to apply complex science to improve my health is truly remarkable.

If you are anything like me, working your way on your own through Dr. Sarah Ballantyne’s books, The Paleo Approach and Paleo Principles, can seem a bit overwhelming. The AIP Lecture Series has been the perfect solution for me. The weekly lectures and reading are manageable and Dr. Sarah has been there to answer specific questions that came up each week. The weekly FAQ videos were a genius addition. When I started the course, I was not new to AIP and yet the confidence I have gained in making food choices to maximize nutrition (loved the micronutrients tracking activity) has already changed how I am eating. The list of nutrient superstars is taped up inside my pantry and I ask myself every meal if I am eating the rainbow. Before the AIP Lecture series I knew wanted to know more about how all of the pieces of the AIP worked together in order to not only do my own work in healing but to actually partner with my doctor. As we near the end of week six, I am confident in my ability to advocate for my health and look forward to my next physical. Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, thank you for the wealth of knowledge and incredible support!

I just completed watching the last video. I am sad it is over as this lecture series has been very instrumental in my day to day motivation and understanding of the Autoimmune Protocol. I have been AIP for almost 2 years, discovering the ins and outs via your wonderful books, as well as AIP support groups that I am involved with. Your lecture series reassured me that the challenges I have faced along the way are normal and that my thoughts and decisions pertaining to this journey are on course. You cleared up many questions I have had along the way, and gave me the reassurance that I am on the right track. Your knowledge amazes me and your presentation of these lectures astounded me. Thank you for all you have done for so many people by using your own experiences to help others with your research and devotion to this incredible way of life.  Thank you!

As always so informative! Thank you for being so engaged and responsive to this class. Even though I have been AIP for a few years, I am surprised at how much I am learning. This is great.
