Why Beans Heal: Gut Health, Weight Loss + Hormones with Unique Hammond

What if the most powerful healing food on the planet has been in your pantry this whole time? In this episode, I sit down with Unique Hammond — holistic nutrition practitioner, founder of https://www.youregreat.com, and author of Your Tastebuds Are A* *holes — for one of the most eye-opening conversations I've had on this show. Unique spent years battling Crohn's disease and endometriosis, trying every healing protocol imaginable, before discovering the one food that finally changed everything. Now 13 years into natural remission, she's helped thousands of people heal their gut, balance their hormones, clear their skin, and feel like themselves again — all through the power of foundational nutrition and beans. We go deep on what soluble fiber actually does in the body, why your bile health is the missing link no one is talking about, how to start the bean protocol without the dreaded side effects, and why "you are not broken" might be the most healing thing anyone can hear. Tune in! Key insights: Unique's journey from Crohn's + endo diagnosis to 13 years in natural remission What the Bean Protocol actually is — and the difference between healing vs. longevity plans Soluble fiber + bile binding: the gut-hormone-detox connection no one explains How beans support weight, hormones, skin, fertility + gallbladder health The biggest mistakes people make starting the Bean Protocol (and how to avoid them) Foundational nutrition vs. supplements — and when each actually makes sense Training your tastebuds back to factory settings Purified water + chewing: the two most underrated health habits The gut-vaginal microbiome connection + why it matters for women "You are not broken" — you just haven't applied the right tools yet Ways to be Supported: Follow   / uniquehammond   on Instagram Get her book https://www.amazon.com and stay tuned for her NEW book https://www.amazon.com/stores/Unique-... _on Amazon Explore group programs at http://youregreat.com Listen to the You're Great podcast for healing stories from real clients Ways to Support the Show: Join our https://substack.com/@weshinewell for prompts + community Connect at   / weshinewell   Follow, rate + review, and share with a friend on her own healing journey You are loved, supported, and exactly where you're meant to be.
