Courtney's Healing Story

Hi Unique! 

I want to share how much better I feel after just a few months on the personalized bean protocol you gave me. When we started working together, I was treating SIBO and simultaneously found out I had fatty liver, insulin resistance and high cholesterol. This came as a shock to me, as I have always taken my health very seriously- I coached CrossFit and taught yoga for years! It turns out my cortisol was through the roof, caffeine definitely didn’t help that, and I was doing nothing in my daily wellness routine to “take out the trash”. When I came to you, I could barely eat bread without severe stomach pain, my acne was so acute and painful and my periods were unbearable. After a few months on the bean protocol, I notice my periods starting to become more tolerable and I was able to eat more food. I also noticed my PMDD starting to ease off. After 4 short months I went for a recheck of labs. My cholesterol was down 70 points, my thyroid was no longer hypoactive, and my fasting insulin came down. I feel what’s most important to stress here is that I was already eating “healthy” by most people’s standards. I would eat salads, smoothies, lean protein etc- but never soluble fiber uninterrupted. Looking back on it now I realize SO many of my issues were from toxic bile and an over production of cortisol. Coffee and CrossFit really did NOT help me with that. Thank you for being a reasonable voice in a sea of dietary extremes. Your presence is much needed and so appreciated. Oh, and here is what my skin looks like now! It makes me so happy I *have* actually cried a little bit :)
