The Big Bean Secret - With Karen Hurd

You know how everyone is searching for that magical food? Listen to this episode, we’re giving you one of them: beans! Today I’m talking to Karen Hurd in Wisconsin and me in Kampala — two different worlds, one shared passion: empowering people through food! Karen Hurd is an American nutritionist and biochemist with over 30 years of experience helping over 30,000 people heal through whole foods, focusing on beans and science-based nutrition. Her journey into nutrition began in a deeply personal way, which you’ll hear in the podcast, and inspired her lifelong work. She developed “The Bean Protocol”, a science-based approach showing how beans and soluble fiber can actually heal diseases while supporting detox, hormone balance, digestion, and overall wellbeing. Here at BODY&SOIL, we’re exploring these principles every day, creating recipes with beans and bean flour that nourish both BODY&SOIL. Some of my favorite recipes are included in the links below. In this episode, you’ll learn the why and how to add more beans to your plate! If you want to go even deeper, check out Karen’s courses in the links below — from reversing type 2 diabetes to supporting gut health and eating for menopause. I love this approach so much and have also integrated much of it into my personal life. I hope you’ll enjoy this interview and get as much out of it as I did. A big THANK YOU to Karen Hurd for taking the time to talk to me, and share her wisdom with all of us here! Lastly, share it with someone who needs to hear this, and let’s get this bean party started! 🎉 Links: Karen Hurd's Courses (https://karen-r.mylearnworlds.com/) Bean Scone Recipe (https://www.bodyandsoil.africa/blog/b...)
