(Choose this path if you have any nervous system disorder.)

This is one of four Starting Paths for beginning the Ancestral Regeneration Protocol, offered for anyone whose current health will not allow them to begin with the standard Week One foods. Whichever path fits you, keep following the protocol week by week — or slower, if that is what your body needs — for the morning routine, mindset work, detox, and lifestyle pieces. Skip any food you cannot yet tolerate, and bring it back in once you have seen some healing.

We do not recommend a vegetarian diet long term. Our hopes are that you will follow this meal plan, see some healing and move on to the intensive gut healing portion of ARP found in Week 19. Please use this meal plan but follow along week by week in the protocol.

Please add 1 tsp of A2 butter, ghee, cold pressed coconut oil or California, cold pressed olive oil to stock just prior to consumption the first week. Increase to two teaspoons the next week and continue in this manner until you are at two cups of fat per day. Do not cook with olive or coconut oils or expose to high heat.

High Histamine Meal Plan

Keep lovingly in mind that histamines heal so welcome your histamines and adjust how you may be feeling about them now. They are simply trying very hard to heal what is going on inside their body. Approach them with neutrality if not positivity and love. You are now going to learn how to support your body to begin your journey! Follow the ARP Protocol but with this starter, low histamine diet instead of the foods suggested from week to week. To help with blood sugar swings, you may make coconut fat bombs if tolerated, but without the honey. Once you can tolerate stock you can move on to the intense gut healing phase of ARP (Week 19) for your next foods but stay in the week to week protocol for your learning as well as nervous system regulation.
