An estimated 50 million Americans suffer from some form of autoimmune disease. If you're among them, you may know all too well how little modern medicine can do to alleviate your condition. But that's no reason to give up hope. In this groundbreaking book, Sarah D. Ballantyne, Ph.D., draws upon current medical research and her own battle with an autoimmune disorder to show you how you can become completely symptom-free—the natural way.

The Paleo Approach is the first book ever to explain how to adapt the Paleo diet and lifestyle to bring about a full recovery. Read it to learn why foods marketed as "healthy"—such as whole grains, soy, and low-fat dairy—can contribute to the development of autoimmune conditions. Discover what you can eat to calm your immune system, reduce inflammation, and help your body heal itself. Find out which simple lifestyle changes—along with changes in diet—will make the biggest difference for your health.

There's no need to worry that "going Paleo" will break the bank or require too much time in the kitchen preparing special foods. In The Paleo Approach, Dr. Ballantyne provides expert tips on how to make the switch easily and economically. Complete food lists with strategies for the day-to-day—how stay within your food budget, where to shop for what you need, how to make the most out of your time in the kitchen, and how to eat out—take all the guesswork out of going Paleo. Simple strategies for lifestyle adjustments, including small steps that can make a huge difference, guide you through the most important changes to support healing.

Do you have a complicated condition that requires medical intervention, medication, or supplements? Dr. Ballantyne also walks you through the most useful medical tests, treatments, and supplements (as well as the most counterproductive ones) to help you open a dialogue with your physician.

Features such as these make The Paleo Approach the ultimate resource for anyone suffering from an autoimmune disease. Why suffer a moment longer? Reclaim your health with The Paleo Approach!

About the Author

Sarah Ballantyne, Ph.D., earned her doctorate degree in medical biophysics at the age of 26. She spent the next four years doing research on innate immunity and inflammation before becoming a stay-at-home mom. After her second daughter was born, she began to experiment with the Paleo lifestyle. It had an amazing effect on her health. Over time, she healed herself of a long laundry list of physical complaints including irritable bowel syndrome, allergies, and the autoimmune disorder, Lichen Planus, an inflammatory skin condition. Inspired by her success, Dr. Ballantyne created the popular health blog www.ThePaleoMom.com and became co-host of a top-rated podcast, The Paleo View. Her passion for providing straightforward explanations of the science behind her diet and lifestyle recommendations for managing autoimmune disease, plus her love of food and cooking, form the foundations of The Paleo Approach.

bloodwork doesnt lie

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

I'm writing this review, but I do so as the purchaser and fiance of the person who's read through it cover to cover multiple times, and changed our diet as a result.

Background: we're both healthy, athletic, low sugar, nearly zero synthetic anythings in our diet. Paleo based diet for ~10 yrs for me, history of celiac in my family. History of severe celiac in her family, and she's had her thyroid removed with radiation. It was when she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis that we started to seek out anything we could to delay it's onset... and I know this sounds like some tinfoil hat hug a tree BS, but after about 8 weeks on the diet we've shaped as a result of this book, her last *2* bloodworks came back as inconclusive on one, and negative on another for RA. Her normally wish/wash complexion is arguably better than mine (and mine is fine) and her energy levels have leaped.

It'd be one thing to say we "feel" this or that. But I'm telling you I dont feel anything. I'm observing it, and her bloodwork is proving it.

As far as night time reading, lord no. You have to be an MD or very very interested in health to read this thing. It strikes me as something you'd see a pre-med student reading. But, get through it, and the results are working for my future wife. We couldnt be happier.

Regarding the resulting diet in the end: its not bad. It's restrictive, and a huge PITA if you travel, but not bad. I tell people if you didnt have expendable income, it'd be pretty tough, as your resulting diet would be kind of what I ate in college: chicken and frozen veggies. If you do, though, the dinners you can come up with are still great. We have guests and serve meals that are compliant with this book, and nobody's ever commented on it. No "oh well its not bad for _____ free food" or disclaimers. Coconut based deserts, good meats, good veggies. Life is good!

Empowering Book for People with Autoimmune Diseases

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book changed my life. Multiple doctors and tests couldn't figure out what was wrong with me, but inferred that it could be a second autoimmune disease. (Did you know that once you have an autoimmune disease you're more likely to get another? My doctors never told me that. But this book explains why that happens.) Before the test results for Lupus even came back, I bought this book in preparation. That test came back negative (along with the myriad other tests for causes), but I felt in my gut that my symptoms were autoimmune-related and was determined to heal myself so I could go back to work full-time. By reading this book I was able to identify which ai disease was affecting me (which I know is not the intention of the book--you should see a Functional Doctor for proper diagnosis), I changed my diet immediately, and was able to heal myself without returning to the doctor's office (and I went back to work!). It's incredibly empowering to know that I can make myself better through food. It's also empowering to know what to avoid to feel my best. I found that excessive sugar causes flares in my first ai disease and gluten causes flares for my second one.

I love that this isn't just a diet book, but has very in-depth explanations for how the body works and what happens with ai disease. At times it was overly "science-y" for me, but I knew it was important for me to understand what was happening inside my body and WHY I was having these symptoms. That understanding made it much easier to stick to the protocol, eating more of the nutrient-dense foods and none of the "fillers" or harmful foods.

I was in need of answers and this book provided them. I'm so grateful to Sarah Ballantyne for writing this.

[Caution: A potential side-effect of this book may be extreme anger toward your family physician or specialist. While reading, I found myself so many times saying, "Why did no one tell me this?!!!"]

Textbook- recipes in a separate book

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is thick and has the organic chemistry makeup of several things which is filler but not at all helpful. A lot of science for why to do paleo but not much for actually doing it. Wish it had A simple grocery list of foods to chose, a menu with recipes but it is not in this book. You have to buy another book or two to get the authors recipes. I am a dietitian with a minor in chemistry and don’t want to wade through all the filler info. Give me the cliff notes version with AIP recipes instead of a textbook. I wanted to like it but will most likely return it for something that gets to the point.

A list of nutrient values are listed for foods in raw form...Problem 1: Foods should be compare by serving size not 100g. For example raw spinach of 100g is about 3 serving sizes. As a Dietitian I would never give values of 100g as that would not be a meaningful value to my patients. Problem 2: that only raw food values are provided. Meat should be compared in cooked form because the weight is less when cooked since water and part of the fat cook off. Some meats have solutions added which will affect raw weight also.
Also, cooking may change the nutrient values of vegetables depending on how cooked and that 1/2 cup cooked may be closer to the nutrient values of 1cup raw.

Day 4 - I feel like I am on holiday!!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

After a miserable decade that has slowly meandered along, I finally have an outcome!!! Being gluten free over the last two years had helped but I couldn't understand why I had such terrible effects from eating non gluten grain? For the first time someone has explained it to me - so the term molecular mimicry is now in my vocab. The dietary limits imposed by the protocol seemed almost ridiculous and impossible - but having taken the plunge, I am now waking up functioning and my sense of anticipation about life is back. I remember saying to my doctor years ago that I would eat cardboard if it made me feel better; this diet is better than cardboard and I definitely do feel better!!! Immense gratitude.

Comprehensive book about Auto Immune disorders and why they may be affecting your body...is Paleo the answer?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

Comprehensive book backed by research, not an easy read but very educational with wonderful illustrations, clear guidelines and shopping lists suggests that Paleo is the.answer to heal the gut and improve your health. After a month my blood sugars had dropped to normal limits, and I had lost 11lbs. So far so good!.

Excellent Publication

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is chock-full of useful and understandable technical information about the why and wherefore of autoimmune problems and, most importantly, how to help ourselves. Having recently had the bum's rush from my GP ("Oh, the NHS isn't geared to give advice on things like that) and made to feel like a neurotic, this book is a great help.

In Depth Book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

A very in depth book. So many different reference to go between. I have many immune disorders, allergies and intolerances. More recently been advised to go on a low histamine diet but not sure where to start as I also have issues with other foods i.e. Potatoes, cucumber, peas, some nuts, thickening agents, just to name a few. And apple skin! Any advice where to start would be great.
