Great Story: Cystic Acne, PMS, Weight Loss
Monika shares her hormone story
I startet TBP in July 2020. After getting off the pill I didn’t have a period for 2 years and then only occasionally. I could really feel the increasing imbalance in my body and mind. Over a few years I gained 10 pounds, my body felt so puffy and bloated, I was moody and I could eat all the time, never feeling satisfied (although I ate mostly healthy whole foods). Thanks to Lacy Philips I came across TBP. I read Uniques book and started to incorporate more beans into my meals. Although, I felt I needed to dive deeper, so I scheduled a coaching session with Unique and properly started on TBP (veggie way). For me the adjustment was rather easy.
After 3 months I already felt my body changing internally and my period began to come in shorter, more normal cycles. Now, after 9 months into the protocol, my cycle is great and I know how to adjust my lifestyle if need be. Now I have a normal cycle length, almost no PMS, I lost a few pounds without effort or exercising (just a lot of walking every day) and I have normal food cravings. Overall my body and mind feels way more stable and healthy.
I still eat beans 2 times per day and add husk 2x per day, but I got a bit more flexible with everything. At the moment I do have a small cup of matcha or black tea and fruit every day and, occasionally, I eat sugar. Although I love nuts, I don’t eat them often and I feel like I don’t need them for energy. I still cannot believe that just one coaching call with Unique and "a few beans“ can make such a difference in my overall health and how good I now feel. I really cannot recommend enough to give TBP a try!
Thank you so much for your work and how easy you make it for people to start TBP!
