Summary

Earlier in the week I got an email asking, "Why aren't beans paleo?"

It's a great question & one we're diving into in today's episode.

We'll talk about macronutrients - are beans really a good source of protein? Do they have a lot of carbs?

We'll talk about micronutrients - can your body actually absorb & utilize the iron & zinc you see listed on the nutrition label?

We'll also talk about other components in beans and how they interact with our bodies at the cellular level.

If you're a bean eater, this is a must-hear episode!

hormones, how they interact with ourselves, what's happening inside our cellular machinery

0:51.3

and our metabolism.

0:53.0

I think that is powerful information and when we know better, we can do better.

0:58.2

Of course information without implementation is useless but hopefully as you listen to

1:02.7

this you will be asking the question, what does it mean for me?

1:07.0

What can I do with what I've learned here in this episode?

1:11.3

Somebody emailed me the other day and asked why beans aren't paleo.

1:17.1

And there are all sorts of different dietary classifications, whether it's paleo, whether

it's primal, and I don't get hung up on those distinctions but I do think it is important

1:28.2

to understand how food acts in our body.

1:32.3

Just because it's sold in a grocery store doesn't mean it is good for us, doesn't mean
