Christine B.- Healing story. Long cycles, cystic acne, weight loss, PMS.

Here is my heartfelt testimonial. I am so grateful to you!! 

It would not be an overstatement to say working with Unique has changed my life trajectory. Beyond meeting my health goals, Unique's coaching changed the way I view food and gave me sustainable ways to incorporate whole foods everyday, with an emphasis on fiber. 

I’ve always had a complicated relationship with food, and I've always felt less than optimal in my body. Feeling tired, having brain fog, and painful cystic acne well into my thirties was normal for me (on top of incredibly painful periods). Rather than eating for fuel, I realize now that I was a food robot automatically eating if I was sad or anxious or bored or wanted to celebrate.

I first stumbled upon the Bean Protocol just under three years ago, and I decided to do a little experiment after reading Unique's book, Your Tastebuds are Assholes. After 5 weeks of cutting out sugar and adding beans in, I couldn't believe how amazing I felt. I had energy, lost weight, my skin glowed, and my period pain was significantly reduced. Since I felt so great, I thought what's the harm if I deviate off protocol? Lo and behold, my symptoms returned but I couldn't motivate myself to get back on track. 

From there, I reached out to Unique for one-on-one coaching and a custom protocol. This is where the real healing began. From our calls, I felt so seen and understood. I could share when I had a binge episode or what I was struggling with, and Unique met me in such a compassionate way. For the first time in my life, I felt no shame about disclosing my relationship with food and I learned that I have the ability to truly change. Last year, I joined one of Unique's Group Coaching programs, and it was so powerful to experience healing through beans in community. 

With incremental changes over the years, I can't believe how much my relationship with food has changed. I am no longer a food or sugar addict. If I’m sad, I let myself feel sad. I am conscious of my choices and hunger cues. And I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I eat for fuel and longevity now. All my initial health concerns are healed as well (my skin is clear, I have consistent energy levels and sleep better, my severe period pain is significantly reduced when I "bean-up"). 

Best of all, there is a secure feeling inside knowing that I have the tools to feel better, and that I know what’s best for me without falling for food marketing gimmicks. Working with Unique has been such a gift and I’m forever grateful.

Sincerely,

Christine B.
