Bone Broth

A staple of our Gut Healing Protocol, bone broth is rich in amino acids and minerals that help to heal the gut lining. You can use any type of bones - beef, chicken, seafood - preparation is so simple and making it yourself saves a lot of money.

You can experiment with ingredients, our favourites are:

Beef bones from grass fed & finished cows
Kombu - a type of seaweed with high mineral content (including iodine for thyroid function)
Ginger - anti-inflammatory
Parsley - good for kidney health and reduces water retention
Rosemary - delicious and repeatedly features in the diets of populations with a long life-span

Add all of the ingredients into a slow cooker (or pressure cooker), fill to the appropriate level with water and leave on slow cook for around 12 hours (a pressure cooker only requires around 1.5 hours).

That is it! You get gelatinous rich bone broth that can be stored in jars, frozen if needed, added to pretty much any dish to replace water or drunk solo with a bit of salt and lime.

Turn it into a meal. This is one of my favourites, add chicken breast on the bone plus veggies - carrots chopped into small pieces, leek, onion, zucchini and sweet potato to the bone broth ingredients prior to cooking (and any of the ingredients from the list above). Take the chicken off the bone, separate the broth liquid and veggies you want to eat from the other ingredients and there you have it. I add four chicken breasts then freeze the extra broth and chicken to have fast meals when needed.

Other carb options are rice, white potatoes and rice noodles - it’s better to add those pre-cooked after the broth is ready.
