In Episode 47, I sit with my mentor Karen Hurd to answer some of the burning questions from my Beany community, IG, and private course members. I hope you enjoy our chat.

Practicing for 30 years, Karen, in addition to her nutritional training, holds her Master of Science in Biochemistry and Masters in public health. Her philosophy in approaching health is that "Food has the power to kill; food has the power to heal. It's your choice." Karen applies her knowledge at the biomolecular level to understand the cause of the health problems we face and what dietary and lifestyle changes are needed to correct that cause and unlock our best health.

Podcast 45- Solo Podcast.

Stream of consciousness, I share my journey from self-loathing to self-love and how uncoiling emotions from my food choices helped not only heal my condition but maintain my health. My emotional relationship with food was fueled by my disconnection from my body. Tending to my body through illness taught me how to love myself and stop comparing and judging my only amazing body. I hope you enjoy this quick podcast. It is hard to put out this information as it feels intensely vulnerable. But it is worth it if this can help you or someone you love. My highest calling isn't my comfort zone but to help my community. Enjoy.

My next 12 week group begins May 3rd. You can learn more here.

In Episode 43, I had the pleasure of sitting with Shayla Gifford and chatting about how she found me, the protocol, and how she has used it to reclaim her health.

Shayla found her way to the Bean Protocol and eventually working with me when she found herself in a state of burn out and adrenal fatigue. She experienced a lack of energy, physical pain in her body, frequent illness and overall run down. She shares her journey of living on constant cortisol and adrenaline with minimal attention to her body to shifting her focus to nourishment, self care, and ultimately balance.

Shayla is 43 years old and lives in Reno, NV with her husband, Galen, and 2 daughters.

Meet Shayla Gifford, a dedicated leader, loving mother of two girls, and a health and wellness enthusiast. With over 20 years in the mortgage industry, she's originated $1.5 billion in sales, helping 6,000+ families become homeowners.

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. In addition to her nutritional training, Karen holds her Master of Science in Biochemistry and is currently enrolled at The George Washington University in the Master of Public Health program.

Karen applies her knowledge at the biomolecular level to understand the cause of the health problems we face and what dietary and lifestyle changes are needed to correct that cause and unlock our best health.
