I was asked my opinion on bone broth. Should you consume it? Let’s talk about this.

People usually eat a lot of muscle from animals, but not the rest of the animals. They eat a lot of meat from chicken, beef, lamb, and pork. The problem with this is that muscle is very high in methionine, an amino acid, whereas bone broth provides glycine with a different amino acid profile.

I also recommend consuming some organ meats too. The liver is the easiest to consume. You can get it in pate. My favorite is from US Wellness Meats, which sells liverwurst that also contains the heart.

When you consume bone broth, you can help your sleep and lower your blood sugars, along with building up your neurotransmitters. It will also provide gut support and joint support.

Bone broth is simple to make. Here’s an easy bone broth recipe:

● Three pounds of bones, preferably from a farmer’s market
● Put two gallons of water in a pot then add the bones
● Add two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and let everything sit for 30 minutes so the acid can help break down the minerals from the bones
● You can add herbs, spices, vegetables, and sea salt.
● Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 12 to 24 hours

The longer the broth simmers, the more nutrients are extracted. Your goal is to extract minerals, nutrients, collagen, and amino acids from the bones.

Let it cool, then strain the solids from the liquid broth. Store it in glass jars. I use it in soups and stews.

You can also buy pre-made bone broth. I like the broth from a company called Kettle and Fire. They use animals that are grass-fed, pasture-raised, and organic. They offer several flavors with excellent ingredients and no sugar or fillers. Their products are very keto-friendly.

So my opinion is yes, definitely consume bone broth!

I drink bone broth everyday (after breakfast and dinner) and it healed my gut. I used to get inflammation all over my body all the time.

In Spain we eat a lot of bone broth in its own and add it to meals. My favorite its a dish from Madrid call " Cocido " its made with bones of cow, chicken and pork plus lots of veggies, boil for at least 5 hours . Every time I am not feeling well with cold I have this and I instantly feel much better and taste delicious .

Make it in an instant pot in the morning and by the afternoon it's ready, without any additional effort. We do this twice a week and it really isn't a big effort and not expensive in the least.
Chicken feet are best with pig ears, feet or tails. Beef, Turkey, lamb or chicken bones for a variety works, it's all good.
Add a generous helping of sea kelp for trace minerals and some fish heads when available, anything with collagen works.
I add cayenne pepper, a little more ACV and a generous helping of coconut oil before putting it hot into a bullet blender and serving.
Don't have it every day but most days, my skin, nails and hair have never been happier along with my stomach and internal organs.
It's a great way to break a fast, personally I do 18 hours most every day and have never felt better. Lots of compliments every day, I seem to have gotten 10 years younger.
Good luck

Thank you Doc. I've been struggling from being overweight for a very long time. But in the span of 2 months, I lost 13 kilos off my weight just by watching your show and following your advice.

I started to make fish broth with the fish I catch out of the lake and river. It's amazing what it did for me. No more aches and pains. Used to take me forever to get out of bed due to stiffness.

Hi Dr. Berg, Thank you so much for this video. I make Bone Broth every week. Even a Keto Bone Broth! Over the years I have perfected a wonderful recipe that includes shanks, marrow bones, and oxtails. This makes a wonderful rich and gelatinous bone broth! I make it in a slow cooker or on the stove top, and when I am in a rush, I use the Instant Pot. I have many videos on making bone broth. I grew up making bone broth with my mom and went on to make it for myself and my family. I have been drinking bone broth for many years now! I soak the marrow bones in acidulated water for an hour while I roast the meaty bones. And then I add the meaty bones and all the drippings to the pot where I am soaking the marrow bones. I make all sorts of variations of bone broth...Beef Bone Broth, Chicken Bone Broth (literally for pennies a jar!), and even Fish Bone Broth. Plus I make variations of Bone Broth including a Keto Bone Broth and and Anti-Inflamatory Bone Broth. Plus, I have found so many clever ways to incorporate bone broth into our diets - other than just drinking it warm. You can even add bone broth to smoothies!! Beef Bone Broth is great in dark chocolate smoothies, Chicken Bone Broth is great in a berry smoothies, and Fish Bone Broth is great in green smoothies...with seaweed!!

And I love the bones and liver from US Wellness Meats. Such a wonderful company!!

Thank you so much for all you share! I have learned so much from you!! And you are helping me tremendously with my weight loss journey!! All the best, Mary🤗🤗🤗

As a Chinese, we have different bone broth recipe with different vegetables and Chinese herbs for different seasons in Hong Kong. We drink soup as our supplement.

[staceyhildenbrand]

My grandmother used to make this all the time, Bone soup, she did add noodles to it. Really good and she lived to be 97 and on no meds! Fats are good for you, she is my proof of it.

[nancypfromm]

Excellent advise! My Functional Medicine doctor (MD) also recommends bone broth. We made Pho (forgot to add the apple cider vinegar tho), simmered for 12 hours, added all the veggies and have been eating on it for 2 days. Sleeping great, feeling better and my blood sugar levels are down! 👍😍 Thank you, Dr. Berg!

[ceilconstante]

This is one more reason why Mediterranean people are healthier. We've been making Bone broth all along as soup stocks.

[Ururowndoc]

Oh my gosh! He is a mind reader! I was searching up bone broth videos and couldn’t see one from Dr Berg and was thinking to comment to ask him and 3 hours later, he uploads it!!
Dr Berg, I love all your videos. It’s not easy to apply scientific knowledge to practical every day life but you do it so well and teach is beautifully!

[dutan]

I used the bones from a rotisserie chicken, then threw that in an instant pot along with everything he said. Adds so much flavor to dishes!

[shirk]

Yes, I make bone broth as well and when I drink it, it's like my body is thanking me and saying "Yes, this is what I needed, Thank you!" I feel so good when I drink it. I also make soups with it as well.

[Axiomatic]

I love bone broth. Not only is it delicious but also very healthy. Goes perfectly with a keto diet.

[nicolesdiy]

[amaliagrassi]

My God. Trust Dr Berg to come up trumps. I've been looking for almost a year for a simple bone broth recipe. They are all so ruddy complicated, take hours and hours unless you have a special cooker or something, but no, Dr Berg comes up with a simple and doable recipe! Thank you and what a relief!
