How Can Broth Help Me Lose Weight? How Can Fat Help Me Lose Fat? And Other Questions?

Posted by Doctor Lucas on Jan 24, 2018

(Photo: Best of the Bone broth salad dressing) One of the questions we're often asked is how is it that bone broth helps you lose weight and how is it that we're often referring to the 'healthy fats' in bone broth that actually help your body burn your fat, including that hard to lose belly fat? As with many questions the answers are a composite of the food and not simply one magic ingredient. But one of those several magic ingredients is conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Foods from grass-fed cattle including meat, dairy products and bone broth measure consistently much higher...

Is Your Broth or Collagen Product Toxic?

But the process of adding muscle works differently in older people than...

Bone Broth - The Traditional meets the Adventurous

Posted by Corey Chandler on Oct 09, 2017

Maybe you're not a traditionalist and are always looking for something new. Or even if you are a traditionalist, maybe you like to be a little adventurous with your food and drink. Well, the "broth" world has plenty of ideas for you. From a traditional perspective for hundreds of years bone broth has been considered a restorative. In 18th century France, inns sold bowls of broths or “restoratives” for travellers (the French restorative morphed into the term restaurant). The "elite" travelled with their own broth gelatins. Today nutritionists and naturopaths espouse broth for immunity boosting and joint health benefits. The GAPS (gut and...
