🌿✨ Big News for Autoimmune Warriors! ✨🌿
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was just awarded to Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi for their groundbreaking discoveries about immune tolerance — how the body learns not to attack itself.

Their work revealed the key role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and the FOXP3 gene, which act like the body’s peacekeepers — calming the immune system when it starts turning against our own tissues.

For anyone living with Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, Type 1 Diabetes, Hashimoto’s, or other autoimmune diseases, this research opens powerful doors:
💠 A deeper understanding of why autoimmunity happens.
💠 New possibilities for immune-balancing therapies instead of broad immune suppression.
💠 Hope that science is catching up to what many of us have felt in our bodies all along — healing begins when the immune system learns to trust itself again.

🧬💖 Here’s to the scientists who studied peace at the cellular level — and to all of us learning to do the same in our own lives.

Carrot–Ginger Soup (Shallot Option) 🥕🫚
🕒 ~45 min • 🍲 Serves 4 • 🧩 Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients

2 tbsp solid cooking fat (coconut oil or similar)
1 large banana shallot or 2 regular shallots, finely chopped (≈⅔–¾ cup / 80–100 g)
2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled & minced
2–3 cloves garlic, minced (use 2 if sensitive)
2 lb carrots (≈6 medium), chopped
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, plus a splash to finish if needed
4 cups bone broth (or chicken/veg stock)
1 bay leaf
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1½ tsp sea salt, more to taste
1 tbsp minced chives, for garnish
Steps

Sweat the aromatics. Warm fat in a heavy pot over medium / medium‑low. Add shallots and cook until translucent and tender, 3–4 min, stirring. Add ginger and garlic; cook another 1–2 min until fragrant (don’t brown).
Soften the carrots. Stir in carrots and cook, stirring often, about 8–10 min so they start to sweeten.
Simmer. Add vinegar, broth, bay leaf, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer gently until carrots are very soft, about 20 min.
Blend. Discard bay leaf. Carefully blend the soup until silky (add a splash more broth/water to loosen as needed).
Taste & finish. Balance sweetness with a ½–1 tsp splash of ACV or lemon if desired. Adjust salt. Serve with chives.
Notes

Shallots lend a softer, sweeter, lightly garlicky profile vs. onion.
AIP‑friendly as written. For extra creaminess, blend in 2–3 tbsp coconut milk.
Storage: Refrigerates 3–4 days; freezes well.
