Our favorite biochemist, Karen Hurd, joins us again to discuss the difference between adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline gives us strength to fight or run, while cortisol reduces inflammation. These hormones are released simultaneously. We are meant to experience short bursts of adrenaline and cortisol in emergency situations, not prolonged baths in them all day every day while we sit at a desk, immobile. Luis and Karen discuss estrogen production after menopause, exercise and chronic pain, high testosterone in female bodies, and estrogen in male bodies. Stress is an endocrine disorder. If your diet is nourishing and balanced, but you are still stressed, consider your lifestyle, purpose and perception. Something has to shift when the mentality isn't connecting to biology in a way that is balanced.You can read more about Karen's work, and register for her courses, here: https://karen-r.mylearnworlds.com/pages/home[Ep. 256] How Stress Affects Your Hormones, Digestion, & What To Eat About It w/ Karen Hurd[Ep. 218] The Biology Of Your Emotions & How Food Helps w/ Karen Hurd[Ep. 8] Healing Your Body With Beans | Karen Hurd[Bonus Episode] The Sugar-To-Adrenaline PipelineYou can read more about, and register for, the Sugar-To-Adrenaline Sequence webinar here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/events/the-sugar-to-adrenaline-pipeline-webinar To read more about, and register for, the 2025 Menla retreat, click here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/menla-retreat----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/ Learn more about the self-led course here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/self-led-new Join the waitlist to pre-order Luis' book here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

Chronic stress and PTSD are a hormonal imbalance issue, and if one hormone is out of balance, all hormones are out of balance. These hormones, in or out of balance, control every chemical reaction in the body. Join Luis and Karen Hurd (biochemist, nutritionist and frequent guest), as they explore the science behind what happens in the body with long-term adrenaline output. Elevated adrenaline has a cascade effect on the rest of the hormones, affecting digestion, thyroid health, and melatonin production, as well as issues with weight loss and weight gain. Karen leaves us with her top 3 simple steps to help tend to our adrenals. You can read more about Karen's work, and register for her courses, here: https://karen-r.mylearnworlds.com/pages/home[Ep. 8] Healing Your Body With Beans | Karen Hurd[Ep. 255] Can You Recover From Trauma While Drinking Coffee?[Ep. 239] Beans: Superfood or Super Toxic?

In episode 42, Karen Hurd and I chat about all things peri-menopause. I have been educating myself rabidly for the past 5 years in anticipation of this transition. I wanted to plan, prepare, and mentally grow into this space that I would soon inhabit and live in for the rest of my days. I also wanted to take responsibility for this transition and make changes to maintain health and wellness through a ( potentially) turbulent time. I loved every minute of this chat with my mentor of 11+ years. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Karen Has been practicing for 30 years.

One of the most demonized foods in the natural health world is legumes. We hear that the anti nutrients in them are going to prevent absorption of nutrients and they will cause gas and bloating so they are not worth eating. What isn't talked about is the benefits of soluble fiber as it relates to bile and hormone and toxin removal. Karen Hurd helped her daughter recover after she was incapacitated from organophosphates in an insecticide spray. She says that beans were the ticket to restoring her health. She has a Masters of Science in Biochemistry from the University of Saint Joseph and now educates on the many benefits of beans and soluble fiber. In this interview she talks about why anti-nutrients aren't a big deal, the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber, what percentage of fat soluble waste and hormones get recycled if we don't eat soluble fiber throughout the day, how beans can alleviate a panic attack, who should consume fat with their beans, her views on good fats vs bad fats, cortisol reduction using beans, why she doesn't like cold plunges, why she believes most people have too much stomach acid vs too little, how beans can help alleviate heartburn, beans for acne, and much more.

How do beans impact your stress response and stress resilience?  Enjoy this fascinating interview with Nutritionist Karen Hurd, who chronicles the extraordinary detoxification journey of her 18-month old daughter who was dying from accidental poisoning.  When the most esteemed doctors in the country had given up, Karen was relentless in hope and pursuit of answers. As a result of her experience, Karen has committed her life to helping people heal themselves through simple nutritional strategies.  This episode will inspire you!

On today's episode, Luis and Karen discuss how perfume and other chemical fragrances effect our bodies. Since they can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin, many of us are constantly bathed in them: either in our home, our workplace, or out in the world.In this episode, we cover the ways that the body reacts. Perfumes and other synthetic fragrances:Stimulate a physiological hormonal responseCan change the expression of DNA, and turn on and off genesAre more damaging and pervasive to the human body than microplastics (which often get more attention)Can worsen symptoms of illnesses caused by high estrogen levelsLuis and Karen also review some simple-to-implement suggestions on how to get started on the journey of detoxifying your body and home.For more information on Karen's work, visit: http://www.karenhurd.com/You can learn more about the six week course, and sign up for the waitlist, here:https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/courseFor more information on Luis' work, visit: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/Check out some of our previous episodes with Karen:Ep. 8 Healing Your Body With Beans (feat.

Wisconsin Republicans want to make sure churches in the state are kept open during the next emergency. State Sen Cory Tomczyk, R-Mosinee, along with Rep. Ty Bodden, R-Hilbert, and Rep. Karen Hurd, R-Fall Creek, took a proposed constitutional amendment to a Senate committee on Tuesday. If the amendment becomes law, it would stop public health managers from closing churches. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wisconsininfocus/support

ADHD, hey! Used to be a thing the odd rowdy kid at school got labeled with. Is it that we are seeing an increase in cases now, or have we simply improved our means for diagnosis? I don't know, but it appears that 5-10% of the population falls into this category either way. Third time's certainly a podcasting charm with Karen Hurd. On her third and equally brilliant appearance on the show, nutritional healer and biochemist, Karen is sharing some pretty valuable insights around harnessing the potential and brilliance of the ADHD brain and understanding just how big the levers are that we can pull via nutritional healing alone. In this chat you'll hear a blow-by-blow description (Hurd style) of how the neurotypical and ADHD brain's function and fire messages, and what's actually happening from a technical and biological perspective. You'll hear how quickly, simply and effectively (I say simply, but let's not mistake that for easily) the resolution can take place and those who have battled with the chaos can unlock a level of output that is beyond their wildest dreams.  She sure made me take notice.  KAREN HURD Website: https://karenhurd.com  TIFFANEE COOK Linktree:  https://linktr.ee/rollwiththepunches/ Website: www.rollwiththepunches.com.au LinkedIn:  www.linkedin.com/in/tiffaneecook/ Facebook:  www.facebook.com/rollwiththepunchespodcast/ Instagram:  www.instagram.com/rollwiththepunches_podcast/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/tiffaneeandcoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's one thing that can help support your liver in clearing toxicants and excess hormones  more than anything on this planet. It's not a cleanse, it's not an herb, but the time-tested longevity-boosting food as medicine: BEANS. As the richest natural source of soluble fiber, beans are truly the magical “fruit,” but what's really happening on a cellular level when we up our fiber? How do beans even bind to those toxins in the first place? How can they also lower the dreaded stress hormone, cortisol, with their binding power?! I'm excited to follow up our Season 2 convo with Unique Hammond with this week's episode. Get ready to meet Unique's mentor & the “Bean Queen” herself: biochemist & nutritionist Karen Hurd. We're talking about exactly *how* soluble fiber removes toxins from the body (including where, why and how your body releases the bile they're contained within), how many health concerns it can improve (including endometriosis and PCOS), and how easy it is to incorporate this healing tool into your daily life. Psst: This is the convo that inspired me and my producer to give up caffeine—find out why and the strong opinions Karen has to express about stress hormones and our daily cup of joe. Let's get juicy!

Out of all the things we explore on this podcast, who would've thought beans would be the most controversial? So we had to invite Karen Hurd, the Queen of Beans, back to the show to help sift through some of these bean myths. In this episode, we cover the common concerns and fears people have about beans including:Why do beans give me gas?Don't beans have a lot of antinutrients?Don't phytates and lectins stunt growth?Should we avoid grains, nuts, and seeds in addition to beans?Luis and Karen also discuss the lovely interconnection between science, ancestral wisdom and self inquiry.

Unique Hammond is an LA based holistic nutritionist, integrative health coach, bean protocol specialist and author of Your Tastebuds are A**holes. Vanessa asks Unique to share her story of healing Chrohn's disease and chronic gut and hormonal/reproductive health issues and how she found The Bean Protocol by Karen Hurd. In this episode they deeply discuss what it really takes to heal chronic illness and share about their respective healing paths. They share about The Bean Protocol, the magic of incorporating daily beans into your diet and how it has helped both of them bring their bodies back into balance and calm. You'll hear what they've continued to implement and take away when it comes to eating a high-fiber whole foods diet, and how to make lifestyle changes that sustain your body's natural ability to heal on a cellular level. They talk about the 80/20 or 90/10 rule and how once you heal the underlying cause and major physical discomforts that come with chronic illness, how to keep a balanced lifestyle and understand your personal thresholds when it comes to easing up on the healing protocol. They discuss discipline and how important it is to truly get to know your body and yourself when it comes to honouring your personal health and wellness.

She's back! Karen Hurd speaks nutrition like no one on this planet. We heard from Hurd (see what I did there) in episode 210 when she told us in no uncertain terms what happens when sugar collides with our biology... Well she is back to speak of the absolute magic of beans and just how necessary and healing soluble fibre is to our toxic waste producing bodies so buckle up, you're going to want to follow the Hurd after you hear this (see what I did there, too). High cholesterol? Let beans be thy medicine. Toxins in our body? Let beans be thy medicine. Feeling anxiety? Let beans be thy medicine. No sh*t. Go listen. Oh and perhaps turf the coffee and grab a herbal tea for this episode (you'll get what I mean in an hour...)

There is a constant cycle of life & death occurring inside of our bodies at all times. Our DNA & how that DNA expresses can shapeshift at any time depending on our environments, mindsets, and food rituals. This is a blessing because the expressions that are not useful (illness & trauma responses) can also shapeshift into something new.In this episode, I am joined by biochemist & holistic nutritionist Karen Hurd to teach us how food and chemicals interact with our genetic expressions.For more information on Karen's work, please visit www.karenhurd.com.To get on the waitlist for my future courses, please click here.

We all know sugar is a bit sh*t for us... But, when I heard Karen speak of sugar in a way that 1. resonated with a lot of answers I seek on this podcast and 2. was unlike aaaaaall the other experts I've heard speak on sugar (and don't get me wrong, they're great) I knew I had to get Karen Hurd behind the mic with me... For you. Her research and around sugar and our biology excited me as she depicts the relationship between what we ingest and our nervous system. Between our trauma history and our behaviours. Mark my words, Karen will be back. We have much to learn from her... and her energy is insane!! When I asked Karen to tell me about 'the story' of her daughter and what drew her into doing the work she now does around nutrition I sure didn't expect such an incredible story... Stick around, it will blow your mind.

On this episode, Luis brings back biochemist and holistic nutritionist, Karen Hurd - from [Ep. 8 - Healing Your Body With Beans], [Ep. 19 - Caffeine & Adrenaline: How They Affect the Body], and [Ep. 34 - How Dairy Affects the Body] to talk about what sugar is actually doing in our bodies. "Some things take a lot of time to break down and enter into the bloodstream. That is not so with sugar. Whenever we put in sugar, it's what we call saccharide. Its molecular construction is such that it takes very little digestive effort - basically none - for it to cross the barriers that allow it into the bloodstream.""You produce insulin in response to the spike. So if you're going up really rapidly with your blood glucose levels, you're going to release a boatload of insulin to bring down your sugars just as rapidly. Insulin is very effective. It actually grabs these sugar molecules in your bloodstream and will convert them into something known as a triglyceride.""Sugar is so addictive and satisfying on so many levels and I think because initially it's this concentration of life force because we're breaking down all these foods into the building block of the life, which is the glucose feeding our cells so they can function."To follow Karen's work or take one of her courses, visit www.karenhurd.com.

Today's episode of SOUNDFOOD will change the way you look at beans and illuminate their incredible potential to heal both the human body and planet.    We are joined by Bean Protocol Advocate and Health Coach Unique Hammond. The Bean Protocol is a liver detox process first developed by biochemist Karen Hurd to treat her young daughter for pesticide poisoning, but now has evolved to include followers from around the globe.

She is a firm believer and advocate for listening to your body, interpreting what it's saying, and acting on its requests. We also explore some of the connections Nitsa and Unique have growing up in Big Sur as well as other harmonious bonds.  This episode will surely make you reawaken to your senses and trust in the intelligence and strength of your body.    Where to find Unique Hammond: Unique Hammond on Instagram YoureGreat.Com Your Tastebuds Are A**holes by Unique Hammon   SPECIAL CODE FOR LISTENERS Use the code SOUNDFOODFAMILY for  25% off first purchase 30% off subscriptions from mikunafoods.com   (chocho based superfood products)    Soundfood Episodes Mentioned: "HOLY DAYS: Redefining Celebration, Cultivating Feminine Energy, Receiving and Healing this Season with Shiva Rose and Lacy Phillips"   Also Mentioned in This Episode:   Lacy Phillips “To Be Magnetic” Podcast   “What is the Karen Hurd Bean Protocol/Diet?”   Karen Hurd Nutritional Practice   “What is Human Design?”   Drum Medicine by David & Steve Gordon   Ray La Montagne Music    Mikuna Foods    Vedic Meditation    Books Mentioned In This Episode: Karma by Sadhguru   TUNE INTO SOUNDFOOD: WEBSITE  INSTAGRAM   TEXT US ON OUR TELEPORTAL   for high vibrational updates on all things SOUNDFOOD @ 1-805-398-6661    MERCURIAL MAIL  Subscribe to our newsletter HERE.

She has been practicing nutrition for 30 years and has helped over 30K people reclaim their health through her services, including her e-courses. The first time we talked with Karen was in the spring of 2020, where we introduced her and she shared her life and very personal story about what led her to do this work.  She talked about her nutrition philosophy and how to heal the body through the power of food. We highly recommend that you listen to episode #39 with Karen as it was our most popular episode so far.  She is full of so much wisdom and insight, and we love how Karen is so deep into the science, in particular with Covid-19, which she'll share with us today.

In today's episode Karen shares her immunity building tips including an in depth discussion about the Covid-19 virus.  We discuss her immunity building protocol, which includes food (and yes we'll discuss sugar) but also simple lifestyle tips to help ward off any viruses, or reduce the symptoms if you do contract one.   We even talk about her view on doing a polar plunge and what temperature she recommends that you keep your room at night. Karen's goal is to live to 120 years old and she does everything in her power each day to help her live as long as she possibly can, which she shares with us in our conversation. Karen also shares her perspective on the Covid-19 vaccine, which we know is top of mind right now, as we enter the second year of this pandemic.   Karen has an exciting update as she is in the process of creating a free app to provide people with the health studies relating to Covid-19, the pandemic, the vaccine and other news to help reduce the fear that many people are experiencing.

Today's episode is with nutritionist and biochemist, Karen Hurd. After her 18-month-old daughter's tragic poisoning, and her subsequent quest to heal her daughter, Karen came up with a method of detoxing that, simplistic as it is at its core, no one had yet thought of. Since then she has been asked to speak and teach all over the world, and she has a database of over 50,000 people who have had success from her protocols. Karen's philosophy in approaching health is that “food has the power to kill; food has the power to heal. It's your choice.” In this episode we talk about the essence of lasting health, preventative medicine and nutrition. Karen's knowledge of nutrition and the human body is astounding and she takes us through how the human body processes toxins, how disease occurs and how to remedy it. It gets a bit science-y because of Karen's deep understanding of these subjects, and the episode is fairly long but if you can make time, I promise you will benefit from the information! We touch on Karen's online courses that treat everything from autoimmune and inflammatory conditions to fertility issues, Crohn's, thyroid problems, ADD and even cancer. You can find Karen and her courses at www.karenhurd.com   If you enjoyed this episode, please consider sharing it with friends, and please also make sure to subscribe / follow and review!

We are thrilled to bring you today's guest, nutritionist and biochemist Karen Hurd. In today's conversation we dive into Karen's powerful personal story about how she saved her daughter's life from organophosphate (household pesticide) poisoning ​by researching, studying and implementing her own program to save her little girl's life. Choosing to employ the alternative method of nutrition, she began to administer a plan for healing using the knowledge she had gained through her research. Much to the amazement of the doctors, her daughter began to improve. Within six weeks, her daughter had made such improvement that there were no more measurable signs of distress. The only question remained if any permanent neural damage would be manifest as she grew older. Her daughter is now 31 years old, with no signs of permanent neural damage or any other damage. We also discuss beans (and how they help remove toxins from the body), fiber, the "s" word SUGAR, hormones, and so much more. You will not want to miss this very moving and powerful episode. Karen is a graduate of the American Academy of Nutrition (now called Huntington College of Health Sciences) and completed her coursework in Comprehensive Nutrition. This institution is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC), which is listed by the U.S. Department of Education as a nationally recognized accrediting agency.

Karen holds a Bachelors of Arts degree in Languages (Spanish as a major, German as a minor) from Truman State University, graduating in 1980 Summa Cum Laude. She graduated from Kirkwood High School in 1976 ranking in the top 1% of the graduating class of over 600 students. Upon graduation from college, Karen entered the U.S. Army and served four years as an officer in the Military Intelligence Corps. During this time she completed the Officer's Basic Course, the Electronic Warfare Course, and graduated from the Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense course as the Honor Student. She received the Army Commendation Medal for outstanding service upon completion of her tour of duty. In 1984, she resigned her Regular Army commission to raise her family. She completed her time in service holding the rank of Captain. Karen has been married to her husband, Steven, for 42 years. They have five children, ages 26 through 35 years. They reside in Fall Creek, Wisconsin. Karen also is the executive producer of Scene and Hurd Productions, a film production company.

Karen Hurd is back and we are diving into the topic of acidity. Karen breaks down the difference between acidity and acidosis, the difference between blood acidity and bodily fluid acidity and dismantles many of the common beliefs surrounding this topic. We also touch on the topic of the Keto diet, how it relates to acidity and how it can be very harmful to the liver, kidneys, adrenals, and overall health if maintained as a long-term diet. Karen walks us through the massive storm of internal imbalances that can occur when maintaining a keto diet for longer periods. She points out that Type 1 diabetics are at a particular risk of inducing acidosis when eating a ketogenic diet and explains why. According to Karen, “We have made a scapegoat out of acidity” in an attempt to place blame for a lot of prevalent diseases today. She points out that too much acidity in the gut can actually lead to a wide range of negative health outcomes including, nausea, acid reflux, heartburn, ulcers, chronic, and more. However, Karen explains how the gut can become too acidic and provides a very simple strategy to balance this acidity in the gut to prevent and even reverse many illnesses.
