Your Optimal Food Guide | BEAT AUTOIMMUNE 2

“Eat whole, unprocessed, organic foods.

Emphasize plants and healthy fats.**My spin on Michael Pollan’s powerful directive – “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”

I’m Palmer Kippola and I reversed my Multiple Sclerosis (MS) by educating myself, finding and removing my triggers, and adding in nourishing elements. The future didn’t always look so bright for me. I was diagnosed with MS, an “incurable disease,” at 18, and for 25 years I was on a roller coaster ride of terrible and confounding symptoms.

But then I discovered that I was sensitive to gluten, the tough-to-digest protein found primarily in wheat, rye, barley and spelt; and casein, a protein found in dairy. This discovery became my holy grail for complete recovery. I eliminated processed foods, gluten and dairy, and loaded up on nourishing foods. Within a month I was completely symptom-free and my blood tests showed no sign of MS. Today I no longer identify as

someone with MS, even though I will always have the genes for it.

Several years ago I delved into the science of healing – specifically, I immersed myself in the research and found ample evidence that illustrates how it is possible to reverse and prevent the vast majority of the 140+ identified autoimmune disorders, including MS, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, lupus, Sjogren’s, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Eager to share my new understanding, I created Beat Autoimmune to be a source of information, inspiration and motivation for anyone who seeks to reverse or prevent autoimmune conditions.

This guide is focused on foods only. Please visit www.beatautoimmune.com to explore the other root causes and solutions to support the path to better health. The recommendations on the website and in this guide are based on decades of research by scientists and medical professionals, and are backed by the personal healing experiences of the many practitioners and individuals who have followed the recommendations.

My aim is to assist people who want to achieve optimal health, so they can live their most authentic and vibrant lives. Use this guide to discover your optimal foods and find your fastest path to healing.

Take good care!

4 Steps to Identify Your Optimal Foods

To create a list of optimal foods that’s customized to you, follow 4 simple steps:

Step One: Eliminate S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) FoodsTo achieve optimal health you must stop eating pro-inflammatory foods including sugar, processed foods,

gluten, grains, corn, most vegetable oils (olive is a notable exception) and conventionally raised animal products-

-including pasteurized cow dairy.1 If you are diabetic, pre-diabetic, overweight, have high blood pressure, Small

Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), candida, and/or are insulin or leptin resistant, you’ll also need to minimize

or ideally eliminate fruits and fructose until your condition is resolved.2

Step Two: Identify & Eliminate Your Personal Food Triggers Healthy eating is not one-size-fits-all. It’s essential to identify which foods--even foods that are “healthy” for most

people---might be causing your immune system to overreact, leading to inflammation, leaky gut and eventually,

autoimmune processes in your body.3 Here are your options:

1. DO AN ELIMINATION DIET. This option is free, and is the gold standard for identifying food sensitivities.

Remove grains, corn, dairy, eggs, processed foods, sugar, coffee, alcohol, legumes, nuts & seeds, and

nightshades (e.g., tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants & peppers) for 30-60 days, or until your symptoms disappear.

Reintroduce each food one at a time to see how you respond. Tummy issues, brain fog and headaches are

signs that you need to remove the offending food for 6 months to give your gut a chance to heal and your

immune system a chance to calm down.

2. GET TESTED. Cyrex Laboratories offers a comprehensive gluten panel, and tests for gluten cross-reactive

foods and sensitivities to 180 common foods, cooked and raw. This is a more expensive but arguably more

efficient option. You may choose to try the elimination diet first and if your symptoms do not improve, consider

Cyrex testing. Once you have identified your trigger foods, remove them from your diet for 6 months to give

your immune system a chance to calm down. You may find that foods, like gluten and pasteurized cow dairy,

may need to go for good.

Step Three: Add Nourishing FoodsFor optimal health, eat whole, unprocessed, organic foods. Emphasize plants and healthy fats found on pages

6-8. This is a nutrient-dense, phytonutrient-rich, fiber-filled, anti-inflammatory, immune-supportive, metabolism-

boosting, and disease-preventing way of eating for life.

Step Four: Supplement StrategicallyEven if you only eat organic, optimal foods all the time, it is very often difficult to get all the nutrients you need

from food alone. Most people are deficient in key vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants including

vitamins A, B complex, C, D, E, K2, selenium, magnesium, iodine, iron, glutathione and omega 3 fats. A functional

medicine or integrative doctor can assist you in ordering the right micronutrient tests, including NutrEval® Plasma,

SpectraCell, or Individual Optimal Nutrition (ION)® profile test.


10 Habits of Healthy Eating

1. For optimal blood sugar balance, compose your plate with 2/3 vegetables, 1/3 healthy protein & liberal amounts of good fats.

2. Become a label-reader, and stick with short, recognizable ingredient lists with low to no added sugar.

3. Budget more for organic food, which is a long-term investment in your health.

4. Select a rainbow of colorful produce - in season and locally grown.

5. Shop at local farmers’ markets and consider joining a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) for weekly deliveries of vegetables, meats & raw dairy.

6. Cook at home, and get your kids and/or partner to help.

7. Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly to assist your digestive process.

8. Replace white table salt with high-mineral content pink Himalayan or grey Celtic sea salt.

9. Use glass and stainless steel for food and water storage – at home and on the road.

10. Rotate foods and try new foods, like organ meats and homemade bone broth.

Why Balanced Blood Sugar is Vital

All carbohydrates – from cookies to kale -- get converted into sugar in

your bloodstream. The question is how fast. Your pancreas secretes

insulin to bring glucose (sugar) out of the blood and into your cells for

energy. When you eat too many starchy and/or sweet carbohydrates

(e.g. high glycemic load carbs), you store those carbs as excess belly

fat, your cells become resistant to the constant surge of insulin, and

that insulin resistance over time may lead to pre-diabetes, diabetes,

metabolic syndrome, heart disease, autoimmune conditions,

dementia, cancer and higher mortality risk.4

GLUCOSE INSULIN


Optimal Food Choices - Your best options are organic, wild and local.

Optimal Protein Choices - Grass-fed and wild animal sources have a better fatty acid profile and

higher levels of vitamins and other micronutrients.

• Eggs: whole, pastured duck & chicken eggs

• Fish & Seafood: cold-water, wild, sustainable and/or small: anchovies, bass, catfish, clams, cod,

sablefish (black cod), halibut, herring, mussels, oysters, pollock, wild Alaskan, coho, or sockeye

salmon, pacific sardines, and shrimp

• Game: bison (buffalo), venison (deer), elk, and ostrich

• Meats: pastured, 100% grass-fed, humanely raised: turkey, chicken, lamb & beef

• Organ Meat: heart, liver, and sweetbreads

Optimal Fat Choices - Saturated fat is nourishing. Processed fats are not.

Organic Foods are Superior

Organic produce has up to 100 times lower pesticide residue than conventionally

farmed produce5; and, organic regulations ban or restrict the use of additives,

preservatives, artificial sweeteners, colors and flavorings, and genetically

modified organisms (GMOs). Pasture-raised (grass-fed) animals roam and eat

freely in their natural habitat and offer health benefits that conventionally-raised,

grain-fed animals do not, including less total fat, more good fats -- including

omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) -- and more antioxidant

vitamins like vitamin E and beta carotene.6

• Avocados

• Butter & Ghee: pastured

• Coconut Oil & Coconut Butter

• Cheese: organic & raw is best

• Duck Fat: pastured

• Egg Yolks: pastured

• Leaf Lard: pastured pork

• Olive Oil: extra virgin (EVOO) & Olives

• Seeds: chia, flax, sesame, sunflower, and

pumpkin

• Tallow: pastured beef or lamb

• Tree Nuts: pecans, almonds, walnuts,

macadamia & pine nuts, ideally raw and

sprouted



Optimal Vegetable Choices - Above-ground leafy greens are most nutrient-dense and have least

negative impact on blood sugar.

Optimal Fruit Choices - Opt for fruits with lowest impact on blood sugar.

Optimal Beverage Choices - Drink antioxidant-rich beverages with no added sugar.

The Benefits of Structured Water

For optimal health and energy, proper hydration is essential. “Structured” or “living” or

“EZ (exclusion zone)” water flows abundantly in nature and is ample in healthy cells.

It has a negative charge that holds and delivers energy, like a battery. Benefits include

better absorption & hydration, greater oxygen delivery, recharged mitochondria and better

cellular waste removal. Make your own by chilling spring or filtered water to 39 degrees; or

“vortex” it in a blender for 20-60 seconds to simulate a mountain spring.



Optimal Herbs & Spices - Ounce per ounce, herbs & spices are mighty potent inflammation and

oxidization quenchers. Use liberally.

Optimal Fermented & Gut Healing Foods - Fermented foods are loaded with healthy probiotic

bacteria which balance your microbiome.

Optimal Superfoods - Superfoods are superior sources of anti-oxidants and essential nutrients.

Optimal Sweeteners - Use only those that do not raise blood sugar.

The Sweet Science of Stevia

Stevia offers benefits in controlling diet related diseases like

Type-2 diabetes and cancer, and aids in weight control and

overall human health.7 Make sure to choose organic stevia

in powder or liquid form.


Occasional Food Choices - Higher carbohydrate foods cause blood sugar to spike, leading to

belly fat, risk of diabetes, dementia, autoimmune disorders and cancer. Minimize or ideally eliminate to optimize

health.8

Occasional Protein Choices - Make sure you choose “Animal Welfare Approved” or “Humanely

Raised” or “USDA certified organic” labeling for all pork products.

Higher-Carbohydrate Veggie Choices - Restrict to small portions to accompany leafy greens and

good fats.

Moderate Glycemic Index Fruit Choices - Sugar-rich fruits may cause insulin surges which can

lead to fat storage and diabetes in sensitive people.

Higher Glycemic Load - Eat only if you have no weight or blood sugar issues.

Ancestral & Gluten-Free Grains - All rice contains arsenic; brown rice contains the most, so when

you buy rice choose Lundberg basmati or white, for lowest levels.

Natural Sweeteners - Use sparingly and only if you have no weight or blood sugar issues.

Top 12 Food Toxins to Avoid

1. GLUTEN

Difficult-to-digest protein found in wheat, rye, barley and spelt is the #1 autoimmune trigger and is implicated in

55 “diseases” by the New England Journal of Medicine.9 100% compliance is required for optimal health.

2. SUGARS & SWEETENERS

Excess sugar in all forms promotes obesity, cancer & autoimmunity. Avoid anything with High Fructose Corn

Syrup (HFCS), agave and artificial sweeteners.10

3. SWEETENED & GRAIN-BASED BEVERAGES

Don’t drink sugar, gluten or neurotoxins. As above, excess sugar promotes obesity, cancer & autoimmunity.

Avoid fruit juice, beer (contains gluten), and regular and diet sodas. Diet soda contains aspartame, a known

neurotoxin.11

4. PROCESSED FOODS

Most packaged and fast foods spike your blood sugar, promote insulin resistance, and promote obesity,

cancer & autoimmunity. Avoid “gluten-free” packaged goods and processed flours.12

5. PROCESSED FATS

Polyunsaturated and oxidized (almost always rancid) fats in vegetable oils promote inflammation, which

promotes disease. Eliminate all processed vegetable oils except olive. Avoid margarine, shortening, and

canola, corn, sunflower, safflower, and soybean oils, & hydrogenated fats (a.k.a., trans-fats).13

6. GMOs (GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS)

Your DNA does not recognize genetically modified “foods” and your immune system may revolt, leading to

autoimmunity. Avoid GMO foods and CAFO (Conventional Animal Feed Operation) animals that are fed GMO

grains & corn.14

7. CONVENTIONALLY-RAISED ANIMAL PRODUCTS

You are what you eat, and what your food ate. That includes GMO grains, hormones, antibiotics and the stress

of confinement. Avoid CAFO meats & eggs, and low-fat or non-fat pasteurized dairy.15

8. LEGUMES

Legumes contain lectins, a naturally occurring toxin found in plants to ward off predators but which may have

a hazardous effect in humans. Lectins can trigger inflammation and stimulate a hyper-immune response, which

can lead to autoimmunity. Avoid lentils, peas, chickpeas, beans, soybeans and peanuts (which often contain

aflaxtoxins, a liver-damaging mold.)16


Top 12 Food Toxins to Avoid - Continued

9. UNFERMENTED SOY (ALSO A LEGUME)

The health risks of unfermented soy outweigh the benefits. Studies link soy to food allergies, thyroid problems

and cancer. Avoid unfermented soy products and occasionally opt instead for organic (to ensure non-GMO)

fermented soy options like natto, tempeh and miso.17

10. DRIED & CANNED FRUITS

Two words: excess sugar. Eliminate all dried and canned fruits.

11. TOXIC CHEMICALS

Added chemicals -- used to alter flavor, color and texture, and extend shelf life -- are linked to cancer and

autoimmune disease. Read labels and avoid anything with preservatives, artificial flavors & colorings.18

12. BBQ BY-PRODUCTS & HIGH-HEAT COOKING

Food cooked at very high temperatures creates carcinogenic compounds and has been shown to promote

colon cancer. Marinate meats before grilling to minimize charring. Steam, sauté or bake your food at lower

temperatures instead.19

MINIMIZE YOUR TOXIC LOAD

KICK THE CAN SKIP THE STYROFOAM

BAN THE BOTTLE

TURN OFF THE TAP

PASS ON PAPER

REPLACE THE PLASTIC

USE BPA-FREE ONLY NEVER DRINK HOT LIQUIDS IN STYROFOAM

BPA IS A HORMONE DISRUPTOR

FILTER YOUR FAUCETS IN THE KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS TO AVOID HEAVY METALS, CHEMICALS AND ADDED FLUORIDE.

PAPER CUPS ARE LINED WITH PLASTIC OR WAX

STORE AND REHEAT FOODS IN GLASS TO AVOID CHEMICALS IN PLASTIC.


Give it a try today!

Chronic disease does not happen overnight, and good health happens over time. If you’re looking to reverse or

prevent an autoimmune condition, a good place to start is to examine what you are eating.

Step One: Eliminate S.A.D. FoodsChange can be challenging. Replacements are easier. Wherever you are, you can elevate your choices.

Step Two: Identify Your Personal Triggers If you cannot tell which foods are causing you digestive distress, brain fog, fatigue, depression or pain, try an

elimination diet for 30 - 60 days. Consider testing as needed.

Step Three: Add Nourishing FoodsRemember the rule of thumb: Eat whole, unprocessed, organic foods. Emphasize plants and healthy fats.

Step Four: Supplement StrategicallyGet tested for nutrient deficiencies. Common deficiencies include vitamins A, B complex, C, D3, E, K2, selenium,

magnesium, iodine, iron, glutathione and omega 3 fats.

Honor your efforts and congratulate yourself as you create new, healthy habits!
