Thoughts on Thriving Podcast

in today's episode, I'm chatting with the lovely Unique Hammond. Unique is a Holistic Nutrition Practitioner, Crohn’s survivor, Bean Protocol Specialist, Author of Your Tastebuds are A**holes, Certified International Health Coach, and Life Coach who has helped so many individuals balance their hormones and heal gut imbalances through the incredible power of beans. In this episode, Unique shares her personal journey with Crohn's and how she healed using food as medicine, and she dives deep into The Bean Protocol, the protocol that saved her life and that she now uses to help her own clients with a variety of health imbalances. We also chat about what the healing journey is actually like, Unique's take on intuitive eating and balance with food, the connection between your relationship with yourself and your relationship with food, a key pathway in the body that is crucial for healing, the importance of soluble fiber and the different benefits of soluble and insoluble fiber, why cleanses don’t actually work, how to actually detoxify your body, the importance of healthy fats in your diet, the question you should ask yourself before incorporating any new food in your diet, and how to improve your tolerance to beans and other forms of fiber to avoid gas and bloating. This episode is jam packed with both inspiration and information, and is a must-listen regardless of whether you are on a healing journey or not. Thank you for listening!
