Recovering Health Through Diet with Unique Hammond

Unique Hammond is a Holistic Nutrition Practitioner, an Integrative Health Coach, Bean Protocol Specialist, and the Author of Your Tastebuds are A**holes. Her approach to health coaching came after years of feeling unwell. She eventually healed herself using food and respecting her body.    After years and years of struggle with Crohn’s and other health issues, Unique came across the Bean Protocol. With nothing else to lose, she gave it a try - with astounding results. The soluble fibre in beans, it turns out, can do things that some people might call magical.    In this episode, Erin and Laura talk beans with the bean queen herself. They also dive into topics such as how it took a drastic medical diagnosis to encourage Unique to “go home,” and how living out of touch with her body actually helped her develop her coaching business. They also cover how a food (beans) which are considered inflammatory can help to heal your body, how to properly prepare beans, and how fibre has been unfairly demonized in the past.    Unique also explains how she went from coaching clients (for free) on evenings and weekends - because she loved it and wanted to help - to running a thriving coaching business. One of her biggest barriers was leaving the successful career that she had already built, which is a story both Erin and Laura (and maybe you too) identify with.
