How do you do Bone Broth Protocol for Gut Healing?

  1. 1.Source quality bones: grass-fed beef marrow and knuckle bones, pasture-raised chicken carcasses, or wild-caught fish bones. Add 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar to help extract minerals.
  2. 2.Simmer low and slow: chicken bones for 12-24 hours, beef bones for 24-48 hours, fish bones for 4-8 hours. The broth should gel when cooled (indicating gelatin extraction). Use a slow cooker or instant pot for convenience.
  3. 3.For a gut-healing protocol, consume 2-3 cups (16-24 oz) of bone broth daily. Drink it warm between meals or use as the base for soups. Start with 1 cup/day and increase over a week.
  4. 4.For an intensive 3-day gut reset: consume 4-6 cups of bone broth daily alongside easily digestible foods (steamed vegetables, well-cooked rice, cooked fruit). This gives the digestive system a rest while delivering healing nutrients.
  5. 5.Maintain ongoing with 1 cup daily for gut maintenance. Pair with complementary gut-healing supplements: L-glutamine powder (5g in the broth), collagen peptides (10-15g/day), and zinc carnosine (75mg 2x/day).
