This week's guest is Sandra Dorst, the founder of Shop AIP. In her late 30s, Sandra was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that was potentially terminal. This experience changed her from someone who had very little interest in food and health to ultimately becoming the owner of an online health food store. Shop AIP is focused on stocking and providing a selection of carefully curated autoimmune-compliant products for those in need.
