Hello Reader it's Frank,
Week 5 - Beans!
I am really enjoying getting this series out. This week we talk about beans, beans the musical fruit...
Always a fun topic to discuss. Or disgust, depending on the day.
I raised four boys. Four boys and beans in the house meant one thing. Beans, beans, the musical fruit. You know the rest. It became a running joke at my dinner table for years.
Somewhere along the way I taught the boys holding it in would hurt their gut. So burps and farts just became normal in our home. Nobody flinched. That was life with four boys.
Every doctor told me to eat them. Every food guide in North America recommended them. High in fibre. High in protein. Good for your heart. Good for your gut and good for the budget!
I fed my family beans and rice at many meals thinking I was doing right by feeding them a well balanced meal.
I fed my family beans, lentils, and chickpeas for decades.
And I had psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, chronic inflammation, and a gut that never fully settled no matter how clean I thought I was eating.
It took me years to ask these questions
Not “are beans a health food?”
But “are beans healthy for me?”
Those are not the same question.
In this video I break down what plants like beans and legumes actually contain, why they build chemical defenses, and how those defenses can quietly keep a sick, inflamed body stuck even when everything else looks right on paper.
We cover:
*Why plants build chemical weapons and what that means for your gut!
*What lectins actually do to a damaged gut lining (explained the way a real guy understands it, not a textbook)!
*How phytic acid blocks the minerals your body is desperately trying to absorb!
*What soy phytoestrogens do to hormone balance, especially in men over 50.
*The gut connection that finally explained years of symptoms I could not crack
*What I replaced beans with and why my body responded better!
*The 5-step elimination protocol that will tell you whether beans are an issue for you
There's also a free guide linked below with the full list of foods I cut and what I replaced them with. Grab it before your next grocery run.
Cheers
Frank
