I’m getting an early start on my Holiday Gift Guide! Does that mean I’m getting my presents early this year? Probs not.. but if you’re an early gift getter, here you go!
30 Minute Meals for the Paleo AIP I have to include this one again.. obvs.. because I helped and contributed 3 recipes to this awesome cookbook! All recipes are start to table in under 30 minutes or less and have easy to find ingredients.
AIP Sheet Pan Recipes When you’re short on time and energy a sheet pan meal is the way to go!
The Autoimmune Protocol Comfort Food Cookbook Any book that contains AIP mac and cheese… I’m in.
AIP Made Simple Sophie out did herself here. This cookbook is beautiful and makes AIP look easy peasy.
85 AIP Breakfasts $12.95 One of the first things people starting AIP often ask is, “but what do I have for breakfast??” Since eggs are out for now, getting creative is a must. This ebook does all that work for you!
AIP Instant Pot Cookbook $17.95 Grabbed an Instant Pot recently? or know someone who did? Grab an amazing cookbook to go with it to give or gift to yourself!
Wahls Protocol Cookbook
Stasher bags $7.99+ Disposable plastic bags are not going to get us out of the climate crisis. One of the small things we can do is start to be more conscious around our plastic use. Stasher bags are a great way to start!
Pyrex Sets $18+ Glass food storage is proving to be way safer than plastic. Glass doesn’t contain chemicals and won’t stain or change shape. What’s not to love?
Veggie Spiralizer $25+ This has been a game changer in my kitchen. The ability to make noodles from any veggie is uh-mazing! My fav? Sweet potato.
Cuisinart Stick Blender $29+ This blender is awesomely adaptable. Slowly cook some veggies in broth on the stove (or Instant Pot) then blend away for wonderful soups with this handy time saver!
Instant Pot $79+ It’s bound to go on sale again this year, so keep your eyes peeled! This one stop shop of a kitchen gadget does it all. It’s a Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt Maker and Warmer all in one!
Ninja Blender Duo System $183 +. This Ninja system can do it all. It comes with three Nutri Ninja Cups (18 oz., 24 oz. and 32 oz.), 8-Cup Food Processor Bowl and a 72 oz. Total Crushing Pitcher. When a Vitamix is out of your range, a Ninja will do just fine. I absolutely LOVE my Ninja!
Muscle Roller Stick $9+ This has become a wonderful tool for me. I love my foam roller, but this has been great! When the foam roller is too big to maneuver well, this does the trick. Also, when I don’t feel like rolling around on the ground, this is a great alternative!
Blue Light Blockers $10+ These glasses are a must for getting your sleep in order! Blocking out blue light several hours before bed time helps to encourage our melatonin production, therefore helping us sleep better! What could be better!
Sound Machine $19+ Sometimes you need peace and quiet. Sometimes there are crazy things going on around you that make that impossible. Enter the need for a sound machine. With various different sounds like ocean waves, thunderstorm and white noise, you’re bound to find one that suits your preference!
Koldtec Cooling Towels $39These have been so helpful on hot summer days! They stay cool for a long time and I don’t want to go to the beach without one!
Essential Oils Oils are so amazing. They smell great and can help with numerous conditions. However not all are created equal unfortunately. One company I trust is Mountain Rose Herbs.
Magnesium Flakes $12+ Adding magnesium flakes to your bath makes it an ultimate healing experience. Magnesium helps to decrease aches and pains and can create a relaxing feeling as well.
Beautycounter Beautycounter is a safer skincare company, because what you put ON your skin matters just as much as what you put IN your skin.
Autoimmune Strong Autoimmune Strong is an exercise program designed for those of us with Autoimmunity! It’s a wonderful program and many have been able to get back to exercise and activities using this method! Use code: LissMS for your first month free!
Shop AIP Shop AIP is where you get all your AIP foodie needs, in one place! AIP flours, baking needs, snacks, crackers, chips, Sweet Apricity caramels and marshmallows and Power Balls!

My reality has changed a whole bunch over the years.
I started out with only a few symptoms. But I could get through the day.
Until all of a sudden I couldn’t.
All within a few years I went from “fine” to:
Having horrible symptoms, had 3 relapses and found myself with “aggressive MS”
This was not ok with me.
Eventually, I took my life into my own hands and rethought how I did most things.
I realized I had to make some changes, or else idk what else was gonna happen to me.
So I did.
I changed my diet.
I changed how I worked out.
I changed my job in the name of stress management.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
If you want this transformation for you too (I know it’s possible) I’m launching my signature course: Holistically Healing MS in a few weeks.
This is the course you need to get started on this path for yourself.
Only the waitlist is gonna get the pre sale price…

This is the reality I lived, I want you to experience it too.
No, this is not a quick fix.
No, these results wont happen overnight.
No, this won’t cure you.
BUT-
Yes, you can have your life back.
Yes, you can feel better than you do right now.
Yes, your current reality doesn’t have to be a forever reality.
My success years ago was all thanks to the diet changes and the work I put in to know exactly how to eat to support MY body and MS at the same time.
Yes it took a few months, but what it gave me back was my life- and that’s priceless.
I’m spilling all the beans on what this process looks like and how to do it in my upcoming Masterclass:
5 Secrets To Creating Your Own MS Diet.

This is my vision for the masterclass I’m hosting next Monday.
I want this to be an interactive experience where you learn how to best take care of yourself and MS symptoms through the food you’re eating.
Instead of:
- feeling hesitation and confusion around what foods are best for MS
- not making changes because you’re afraid you’ll do it wrong
- saying no again to going out to eat with friends
Find the freedom and confidence you’ve been looking for.

My mom will confirm, this was me HARD as a kid.
I used to hate all forms of vegetables, just cause they were vegetables. Whether or not I had tried them was irrelevant, I hated them all the same.
Now, I’m not saying this to blame myself for anything, I’m more saying this as a message of solidarity and that it’s never too late to change.
But I also understand that process is hard!!
Sometimes getting support can help you move forward.
If you:
- are wanting to change your diet to help MS symptoms but aren’t sure where and how to start
- feel frustrated when you do make changes because you can’t stick to them
- have already been eating super strict and can’t seem to add more foods back to your diet
My Masterclass the 5 Secrets to Creating your Own MS Diet is for you!!

It’s been a week for me… maybe you too?
Use this short video for a moment of peace and regulation.
What do you notice in your body and about your emotions when you exhale and drop your shoulders?
Or when you hear bird songs?
Notice what makes you feel more calm, relaxed and at peace.
Do more of that..

FYI- This process took several YEARS for me . So please stop beating yourself up if you’re not here yet.
Tbh- I needed to go through the scared, intimidated, rebellious no way before I got to the heck yes.
It took me being at rock bottom, symptoms out of control and knowing I needed something else.
So I didn’t really “do anything” to be ready.
I just was when I was.

Your guide includes:
- The best foods to be eating when you have MS

I get it- it’s really easy to shame yourself into changing something, especially your diet/the foods you eat. And especially when we feel there are other things we “should be doing” because we know “it’s better for us”.
But that is NOT my wish for you.
Hi 👋🏼 my name is Alissa and we do things differently around here.
My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools necessary to make informed decisions about your dietary choices, tailored to your unique MS needs and preferences.
This is why I wrote my Eating for MS Guide the way I did.
I did not give you foods to fear or messages of ONLY EAT THIS FOOD FOREVER OR ELSE.
I’m giving you the tools to be confident in the choices you’re making, because you know it works for YOU. Not because you “should” do it this or that way.
If you’ve been wanting:
- to eat in a way that supports your body with MS, but are confused about all the different messages online
- to feel empowered about your choices, not shamed
- to do it all in a gentle, slow way, not a crash diet..
My guide is for you!!

Or for when you’re trying to talk yourself out of being sick.. 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️😂😂
Even if you feel fine, try saying a few of these out loud. Feel what happens to your body when you do.
Do you feel an expansion or lightness in your chest?
Does breathing get a little easier?
Just notice the shifts in your body.
I’m not saying we can talk ourselves out of it (illness, flares etc) … but… our body and cells respond to our thoughts.
So how we think about ourselves is definitely in the conversation of how we can take care of ourselves overall.
