In pursuit of a skinny culture, I undernourished myself for most of my 20s and early 30s, all while working hard, partying, and working out like I had nutrients to spare. I had no idea this was a perfect recipe for fostering illness. At that time in my life, even if someone whispered the secret to great health in my ear, I probably would have ignored it. It's hard to imagine feeling shit when you still feel great.

In Episode 27, I had the pleasure of picking @dr.tylerpanzner's beautiful brain about all things genetics, creating personalized stacks, ADHD, and so much more! In this clip, Dr. Panzner explains what many doctors and extreme diets miss when fear-mongering plant compounds- only certain genetic mutations should worry about "anti-nutrients."

In Episode 24, I sit with Laura and chat about her health journey and what brought her to The Bean Protocol ®. Before we sat down to record our conversation, I asked her how TBP helped her. Here is what she said-Unique,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. I had one month where my healing maturity wavered, and my period that month was rough. Heaviness and clots were back. It fully cemented my long-term commitment to the beans! I didn't want to go back. 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.LauraHow can food heal us?

In Episode 23- I sit with my client Jana and chat about how she changed her pregnancy outcome with the bean protocol. Jana had two pregnancies before that had ended in Cholestasis, and she wanted to avoid it this time and hopefully have a natural home birth!I loved out chat and I am super excited to share it with you. I hope Jana's story inspires you along your healing journey!Here is a note from Jana that lead us doing this podcast episode together.Hello,I just wanted to send a note of gratitude for the session and support you provided me in my pregnancy and health journey this year. On 10/4, I delivered a healthy 9 lb baby girl, Lyla, home at 40 weeks and two days.Having had Cholestasis with my other two children, I had experienced having to be induced at 37 weeks. Although everything was ultimately ok, I experienced a loss of the births I had wanted, developing preeclampsia and my son having to be in the NICU for high bilirubin levels.My experience was a catalyst to digging deeper into what was impacting my liver. It was a proud moment to avoid Cholestasis when both OB and midwives told me it was almost guaranteed I would likely get it again. More so, to have kept my baby safe and to see how strong and healthy she is has been such a comfort. I learned so much more about my body and supporting my liver through this process, and I am so thankful to the bean protocol for what it taught me and the empowerment it has provided.Thank you so much!JanaBean Curious?You can use my CODE: BEAN20 for a discount on my e-course.Connect with Unique on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/uniquehammond/Find out how to work with Unique - https://www.youregreat.com/Learn more about The Bean Protocol -https://www.youregreat.com/the-bean-protocol

The body reabsorbs most of the bile salts at the terminal ileum and regularly sends them directly back to the liver for reuse.The Inuit will not eat polar bear liver or feed it to their dogs due to its toxic amount of Vitamin A.Note-Liver contains a lot of Vit A in general- thus can cause Vitamin A toxicity if over consumed. Something to consider.https://badgut.org/information-centre/a-z-digestive-topics/the-liver-an-amazing-organ/How the gallbladder workshttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK279386/

In Episode 20- I had the pleasure of sitting with Jill Willard to discuss intuition and how to cultivate it. I was super excited about this conversation because, on the path to healing my body, I often had to lean on my intuition and get still enough to feel my truth to make hard choices. My intuition was weak because I didn't make time for it, and I prized myself on being headstrong and intelligent. The journey of healing my body took releasing the fear that plagued my mind for the wisdom I held within my body, an unbiased truth.I hope you enjoy my conversation with Jill Willard.Jill Willard has a keen sense of what's going on.

In this episode, I sit with Stevie Smith, a registered Dietitian from InsideTracker, to talk about all things bloodwork. I partnered with InsideTracker because I realized not all bloodwork is created equal, and InsideTracker met my high standards as they test optimal ranges for our biomarkers. I like the idea of optimal for myself and my clients. Hey, I've got my long-term health goals of no flares for life, and I want to ensure my biomarkers are on point.I tried out InsideTracker on myself and was so taken by the experience that I signed on immediately to offer it to my wonderful clients! Also, tracking bloodwork for my clients was a great way to show how diet alone can make such a significant impact. I also love that InsideTracker has a great app and gives you food options for bringing up your biomarkers. As you know, I am food forward or food first. I have been off supplements for 10 years, and yep, food has been enough despite the rhetoric that our food is depleted of nutrients. Kinda wild, right?

Today's Podcast is a healing story from an Instagram LIVE I did with Ryan in 2020. Ryan began having symptoms in 2018 and was diagnosed with Crohn's soon after. Ryan started steroids and transitioned onto Remicade. It helped correct his downward spiral, but he was still struggling with gut and other health issues he wanted to clear up.At the urging of his wonderful girlfriend, he listened to my Podcast with Lacy Phillips on ToBeMagnetic and Soon after, he started my e-course. At first, Ryan started loosely, and as he saw results, he decided to set up his first call and go all in. Ryan wanted to feel great, build healthy habits and go into remission. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Ryan, and I hope it inspires you along your healing path.Connect with Unique on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/uniquehammond/Find out how to work with Uniquehttps://www.youregreat.com/oneonone-consultsThe Bean Protocol -E-course - https://www.youregreat.com/the-bean-protocolTBM Podcast w/ me - https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast/2020/83

Episode 11.In this episode, we discuss the review paper Dr. Minich co-authored with Weston Petroski about anti-nutrients. In this review, they took a deep dive into the scientific literature and debated what they gleaned. They also suggest how to prep the foods in question if you are concerned or feel you don't respond well to certain foods. Nutrition is very individual at the end of the day.We also discuss the emerging literature on the benefits of "anti-nutrients" for the gut lining, colon cancer, and inflammatory markers. And the more recent discovery that oxalates chelate heavy metals? Nature is so cool. I hope you enjoy this conversation!Dr. Deanna Minich is an internationally-recognized teacher, author, scientist, speaker, and artist.She has more than 20 years of diverse, well-rounded experience in the fields of nutrition and functional medicine, including clinical practice, research, product formulation, writing, and education.

Today's Podcast is a solo podcast. In this episode, I share my thoughts and experience around healing my body.Healing a body is much different than keeping a body well. Many in the social health space are putting out information helpful to healthy people. Balance? A fantastic idea, but seldom beneficial for those who are unwell. The unwell often need a complete course correction in diet, lifestyle, mind, and spirit to change the tides of disease. I hope my healing story helps illuminate the path ahead and provides some actionable insights. I was safely unwell for a long time before I got sick. Not knowing that my idea of balance was feeding my disease silently. These days I live well, eat well, and help others do the same.Connect with Unique on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/uniquehammond/Find out how to work with Uniquehttps://www.youregreat.com/oneonone-consultsThe Bean Protocol -E-course - https://www.youregreat.com/the-bean-protocol

Kalie shares her Ulcerative Colitis healing story. I enjoyed supporting Kalie through the healing process and excited to share her story with you. The power of food can't be denied, even for IBD. While battling Crohn's, I was often told that diet didn't matter. Or that diet alone wouldn't be the answer—diet matters. Our food supports our cellular health, so diet is a big deal.For more from Unique:https://www.youregreat.com/book-nowConnect with Unique on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/uniquehammond/Find out how to work with Unique - https://www.youregreat.com/Learn more about The Bean Protocol - https://www.youregreat.com/the-bean-protocol
