12 Week Live Group Experience beginning Feb 2025

A Healing Reset for Women*

*This program is focused on biological women because of the hormonal work involved

Re-train your tastebuds to enjoy simple, healthy foods that nourish your body.

Create a presence process that connects you to your individual body and state.

Detox naturally and begin building better habits for the you of today, and tomorrow.

can you relate?

You know when you wake up and feel like you’re firing on all cylinders?

What if that were every day instead of just a handful of days each month?

Hear me when I say:

• If you feel fatigued with no energy for your dreams, friends, and family…

• If your mood swings are disrupting your relationship to yourself and others…

• If you’re on an emotional rollercoaster each month that feels unpredictable…

• If there is a quiet dread that comes with the highs and lows of your cycle and your gut…

• If your libido feels non existent…

• If you struggle to have a healthy bowel movement… (or are poopin’ your brains out)

• If you have hot flashes and night sweats.

It’s a time to steep in the healing experience, and develop life-long habits that can support you in:

• Balancing hormonal imbalances so you can live WITHOUT acne, painful periods, bouts of depression, PCOS, struggles with fertility, weight gain, hot flashes, night sweats and anxiety.

• Caring for your gut health, so that you can close the gap between what you eat and how you feel, plus cleave more nutrients from the healthy foods you’re already eating.

• Accessing natural energy and vitality instead of relying on external stimulants that work against your nervous system.

In one month, my period was hugely improved, and now, six months later, my period comes without any discomfort, goes through a regular cycle, and is gone rather quickly.

Other improvements have been lowered anxiety, feeling steady (which is not a word I would use to describe my inner world before beans), regulated disordered eating which I have battled for 25 years, and an inner knowing I can finally hear.

I have peace about my body and in my body that I have never known, and it is now something I protect ruthlessly. It changed my entire life.

— Laura Tricaricio

Together we will spend 3 months slowing down long enough to:

*3 months is the amount of time it takes for new cells to generate in the endocrine system

• Get present to the food you eat and how it feels in your body (not just in the moment, but afterwards)

• Realize that nourishing your amazing body is an act of self love.

• Truly understand your body and what happens every month in it’s hormonal shifts.

• Learn how to support your gut for your best hormonal health. (Yes, they are heavily linked!)

This experience will show you:

• It doesn’t have to be expensive to feel good.

• Now is the perfect time to invest in your health.

• You don’t have to suffer from the same illnesses that your family does. You can break the chain.

• Your hormonal and gut health isn’t as complicated as it feels. With support and dedication it’s possible to change.

There are ups and downs that come with leaning into your body’s natural cycles, and connecting the dots between your gut health and overall well being.

The solutions might be simple, but the path to adopting the habits and lifestyle changes you need to heal can feel overwhelming AF.

So my question for you is:

Do you want your best health more than your current comfort zone, habits or excuses?

The Calendar of Events

We will have a LIVE session together once per week for the first 4 weeks of the program, to help everyone settle in, answer questions and make tweaks to your plan as needed and then after that we’ll move to bi-weekly Live sessions.

All sessions will be available to the cohort in case you can’t make it live.

WEEK 0

Pre-protocol

A week before the first live sessions begin, we will open you up to your own experience with food and healing. The Non-Linear Nature of the Healing Process will be introduced, and you will have time and space to get accustomed to the online space. You will receive access to a fully customizable meal plan and symptom tracker to begin to prepare for your experience.

WEEK 1 | LIVE SESSION |

The Bean Protocol + The Presence Process

In this session, I’ll be introducing the Presence Process; a way of reflecting on your relationship with food and how it affects your energy levels and overall health, as well as the connection between your emotions and food choices.

We’ll dig into the Bean Protocol in depth, and allow you to ask any questions that bubble up! We will also make space for what we’re taking a break from (the big 3(caffeine, sugar, and alcohol) and what we’re going to gain as a result of this exchange.

This is a foundational week for our 3 months together!.

WEEK 2 | LIVE SESSION |

What Your Body Needs For Great Health
(All about beans, protein, fats, & fiber)

What your body needs is simple really, but like most things, we humans have made it feel complex. Pretty much everything in the human body uses protein, fats, & fiber for cellular support, repair and detox.

I’ve broken this protocol down to these three elements because what I learned from my own healing journey is that, if we eat these three things in the correct amounts, we are essentially giving our body the tools it needs to maintain our best health.

WEEK 3 | LIVE SESSION |

Learning to Identify & Digest Your Stress: Presencing Rest

We will dive into a foundational understanding of how our groovy parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems positively or negatively effect our health and how your relationship to stress and rest can majorly impact the outcome. You'll be equipped with the tools and knowledge you need to set your hormonal health up for health and achieve a better sense of balance in your resting routines.

WEEK 4 | LIVE SESSION |

Goddess Mode: Moving & Grooving Toward a Healthy Menstrual Flow (and Libido)

This week, we’ll be exploring the role that movement plays in balancing hormones and supporting your libido and fertility. We'll identify how different types of movement can have varying effects on your hormones.

By the end of the week, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of the link between movement, hormones, libido and fertility and how you can adjust your lifestyle to support your own version of Goddess Mode!

WEEK 5

The Body Talks! All about the Somatic Impact with Special Guest, Luis Mojica

Pre-recorded video from Luis (linked with the presence process of being with your body, how to ground yourself in stressful situations?)

Being in a constant state of fight or flight can really muck up the works.

WEEK 6 | LIVE SESSION |

Live Office Hours: Q&A and Live Discussion Week

At this point you’ll be half way through the program, and experiencing SO much in your body, heart, and mind. We’re going to gather and open up threads, close gaps, and weave back into our intention, together.

WEEK 7 LIVE | LIVE Session | Q&A with Karen Hurd

Circling Back to Your Presence process and REST + Karen Hurd Q&A.

A wonderful opportunity to connect with the OG BEAN Queen, Karen Hurd. She no longer does consultations but in week 7 we get the rare opportunity to connect with her LIVE and ask all our burning health questions. The transformation is in the returning. This is the perfect opportunity to celebrate your successes and recognize the hard work and dedication you've put in over the past several weeks. We'll provide guidance on how to identify any areas where you may have struggled and develop strategies for addressing them.

WEEK 8 | LIVE SESSION |

Healing Takes Maturity

People come to me with a lot of wisdom about their own health that they don’t necessarily know or trust yet. As the person living in your vessel, you have this information in you. Often the inspiration that gets us started on our healing journey can wain and the next leg of the journey will need dedication. Showing up even when you don’t want to. This takes maturity.

In most cases we must shift our identity from a person who is up for anything, and willing to sacrifice our health for it, to a person who contemplates invitations through the lens of your best health and what you will need to help maintain it. This is what you’ll be invited to sit with.

WEEK 9

What’s bubbling up?

Reflect on how you’re integrating the Bean Protocol 2 months into the program. Check in with your symptoms and spend time reflecting on the progress that’s been made.This is a wonderful moment to connect with how you feel about nourishing your body, showing up for your body and prioritizing your health as an act of self love and care.

WEEK 10 | LIVE SESSION |

The Difference Between a Healing Protocol and Longevity plan

I am often asked how to know when is it time to move from a healing plan to a maintenance plan and once feeling great, how to stay motivated to stay with the new healthy habits.

It’s easy to reach a “health” goal and have an emotional garage sale, adding back in all the old favorites and quietly forgetting about maintaining the great health you worked so hard to create. A healing plan is often based on what our body needs, and confronts what we want, or old habits. But, if nothing changes, nothing changes, and not only that, but if one goes back to the “old ways” the old health issues often return. So what to do? In this live we will discuss what it means to build your house of health- from the foundation up.

WEEK 11

Reflection: The Non-Linear Nature of the Healing Process

Some of us heal quickly, while some of us slog along with little victories lighting the uneven path ahead.Regardless of speed, our health at large is a reflection of our habits, beliefs and the structures we create to maintain health. You will be invited to contemplate what you’ve learned and how are you feeling. Are your changes sustainable - and if not - what tweaks can we make?

WEEK 12 | LIVE SESSION |

Our Final Office Hours: What does Balance look like for you?

The concept of Hormesis - How to know when things are out of balance + what’s next. Over the last 12 weeks we have created a foundation for your best health, but often more time will be needed to fully realize the health goals you have for yourself.

Health is not a destination, it is a continuum so maintaining the foundation for your health will be key for long term wellness.We will also touch on how to navigate bringing back in some items you have been missing in a constructive way.

In week 10 we discussed the difference between a healing plan and maintenance this will be your guide to knowing when you depart the more “strict” healing plan and transition into more of a longevity of wellness plan

Your guide

I am a Holistic Nutrition Practitioner, an Integrative Health Coach, Bean Protocol Specialist, Host of the You’re Great Podcast, and Author of Your Tastebuds are A**holes

I’m all about the legume love, fiber philosophy, and holistic healing.

My approach to whole-body-health came after years of feeling unwell — I had hit rock bottom after a crohns diagnosis. Dismal medications and scary surgeries were not for me, so I finally slowed down and tried everything I hadn’t: trusting my gut. I healed myself through food and respecting my body. And I’m ready to help you, too.

In private practice for the last 6 years, I’ve worked with thousands of women and men from around the world. I’m currently working on publishing my second book (with recipes and protocols) to support others further on their wellness journey.

It’s a privilege to help support those who seek to heal. I work with hormone imbalances, menopause and peri-menopause, gut issues of all kinds, autoimmune disorders, skin imbalances, insulin resistance, fertility, weight loss or weight gain, mood swings, and anxiety. My goal is to help my clients form healthy habits and tools for great health and a sense of calm.

“

I live in The Netherlands, and I’m doing this all on my own. Nobody I know eats like me. I have loving people around me who are being considerate, but even then I sometimes feel like an alien.

Having these group coaching sessions gave me a sense of being together in this!

‘‘

Coaching with Unique has completely changed my relationship with my health.

Unique’s knowledge and support helped me transform my eating habits, and following the bean protocol has been transformative for my energy, skin, period + hormones and overall wellbeing. ‘‘

You are the only person who can hold your feet to the flame.

What causes transformation is inspiration and dedication - to me the power of this course is about the collective - inspiring each other with our challenges and breakthroughs.
