Cassy Joy: Welcome back to another episode of the Fed and Fit podcast. I am your host, Cassy Joy Garcia. I’m really excited about today’s guest. We are introducing you to Jessica Flanigan. She has been a clinical nutritionist for over 20 years. She’s also the author of the book, The Loving Diet: Going Beyond Paleo into the Heart of What Ails You. Her busy private practice incorporates advanced functional medicine skills while also working on a spiritual level as a certified Noetic Field practitioner, who helps her clients discover how they can transform illness from enemy to ally.Oh my goodness. You know, I did practice that, Jessica! {laughs} Transform illness from enemy to ally. She is regularly sought out as a mind-body expert and coach, and has helped thousands of people move away from “fixing through restriction” to healing with love.

I so admire your work. I think it’s so important, and I’m honored and thrilled to welcome you to the show. Thank you for coming on, Jessica!Jessica Flanigan: Thanks, Cassy. I’m really excited to be here. I’ve been looking forward to it.

Cassy Joy: Oh man, likewise! This is going to be the highlight of my day, for sure. I would love it; could you tell us a little bit more about yourself. Maybe a little bit about your story and how you started doing this important work for the AIP community.Jessica Flanigan: Well, I have been a nutritionist for a number of years. And I have an identical twin sister. And she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and celiac. And when she was diagnosed, she contacted me and said; wow, this big thing just happened. What do I do?

And when she first got diagnosed, autoimmune paleo didn’t even really exist. It was pre-AIP. AIP was just sort of getting started. So we had followed Datis Kharrazian’s work. Datis Kharrazian, for your listeners who don’t know; he’s a functional neurologist. He just got a PhD. He’s a chiropractor. He’s really a pioneer in the autoimmune movement. So we started following his work. And then AIP came to fruition.So my sister and I worked together; me, helping and supporting her. To go on the autoimmune paleo diet. Which she got great results with. I went on the autoimmune paleo diet because I had the genetics for it. So I really entered into that world, because there were a lot of people who are interested in trying it out and seeing how they felt.
