About Cora Ashby
Hi, I’m Cora Ashby, founder of AIP Healing Kitchen and author of The Complete Hashimoto’s AIP Cookbook.
Like many people navigating Hashimoto’s, I discovered that knowing what to eat is often one of the most overwhelming parts of the journey. Between conflicting nutrition advice, endless elimination lists, and complicated recipes, it can feel nearly impossible to create a way of eating that is both supportive and sustainable.
That’s why I created AIP Healing Kitchen.
My mission is simple:
To help people with Hashimoto’s make the Autoimmune Protocol feel less overwhelming and more achievable through simple recipes, practical meal plans, and realistic guidance designed for everyday life.
Why I Created AIP Healing Kitchen
When I began researching Hashimoto’s and the Autoimmune Protocol, I noticed a common problem.
Many AIP resources were either:
- Too complicated
- Too restrictive
- Too time-consuming
- Or disconnected from the realities of living with fatigue and low energy
The truth is that many people with Hashimoto’s are trying to improve their nutrition while also dealing with exhaustion, busy schedules, family responsibilities, and the daily challenges that often come with autoimmune conditions.
I believed there had to be a better way.
A way that focused on progress instead of perfection.
A way that made healthy eating feel practical rather than stressful.
A way that helped people stay consistent even on low-energy days.
That belief became the foundation of AIP Healing Kitchen.

The Complete Hashimoto’s AIP Cookbook
To make the process even easier, I wrote The Complete Hashimoto’s AIP Cookbook.
This cookbook was created to provide the kind of practical resource I wished more people had access to:
- 115+ easy AIP-compliant recipes
- Complete 6-week anti-inflammatory meal plan with weekly shopping lists, batch-cook prep guides, and built-in flexibility for flare days
- Budget-friendly swaps for every recipe — because healing shouldn’t require a second income
- Symptom-based recipe index in the appendix — find the right recipe based on what you’re feeling, not just what you feel like eating
- The Five Nutrient Deficiencies chapter — deep dives into selenium, iron (ferritin), magnesium, vitamin D, and B12: what each deficiency does to your thyroid, why Hashimoto’s specifically depletes them, and which recipes deliver the most of each
- Simple recipes designed for real life
- Family-friendly adaptations so you cook one meal, not three
- Printable tools included: symptom journal, daily food tracker, lab tracker, reintroduction log, weekly meal plan grid, batch cooking chart, and a dining-out wallet guide you can keep on your phone
- 4-tier food reintroduction roadmap — a structured, brain-fog-friendly system that tells you exactly which foods to test, in what order, and how to read your body’s response (Tier 1: seed spices and cocoa butter → Tier 4: dairy, gluten-free grains, and legumes)
Every recipe was developed with the goal of making AIP feel approachable, flavorful, and realistic for busy people.
Whether you’re looking for nourishing breakfasts, satisfying dinners, comforting soups, or low-prep meals for difficult days, the cookbook was designed to support you every step of the way.
You can find The Complete Hashimoto’s AIP Cookbook on Amazon.
Looking Ahead
AIP Healing Kitchen continues to grow beyond recipes and cookbooks.
I’m currently developing the AIP Healing Kitchen App, a personalized platform designed to help users navigate every stage of the AIP journey with customized meal plans, grocery lists, meal prep guidance, and food reintroduction support.
My vision is to create one trusted place where people with Hashimoto’s can find practical tools, reliable guidance, and simple solutions that make healthy eating easier.
My Philosophy
I believe healing-focused nutrition should be:
- Simple, not overwhelming
- Sustainable, not perfectionistic
- Nourishing, not restrictive
- Practical, not complicated
Most importantly, I believe that small, consistent changes often create the greatest long-term impact.
You don’t need perfect meals.
You don’t need perfect days.
You simply need a plan you can stick with.
Thank you for being here.
I’m honored to be part of your journey and hope the recipes, meal plans, and resources at AIP Healing Kitchen help make your path a little easier.
