Why Bone Broth Is My Daily Ritual for Health and Healing
Every morning, before the sun rises and the world begins to stir, you’ll find me cradling a warm mug of my bone broth brew. It’s more than just a comforting start to my day—it’s a simple ritual that fuels my body, restores my energy, and grounds my soul.
But this isn’t just about a warm drink. For me, bone broth has become a powerful tool for healing, nourishing, and thriving in every season of life.
The first time I made bone broth was during a season of recovery. After years of being vegan, my body was struggling—I was dealing with major gut and hormone issues that left me feeling depleted and unwell. Desperate for a way to heal, I turned to real, nourishing foods that aligned with the rhythms of nature.
Making that first pot of bone broth felt like an act of surrender and hope. As it simmered on the stove, filling my kitchen with its rich, comforting aroma, I couldn’t help but feel I was making something sacred. When I finally took my first sip, I knew I was on the right path.
The first mug felt like coming home. It was warm, soothing, and full of nutrients my body was craving. Over time, I noticed substantial changes: my digestion improved, my energy stabilized, and I felt more resilient—both physically and emotionally.
Bone broth became a cornerstone of my wellness routine, not just for me but for my entire family.
So, why is bone broth so powerful? Here are just a few of the reasons it’s my go-to for daily nourishment:
1. Supports Gut Health:
• Rich in gelatin and amino acids like glycine, bone broth helps repair the gut lining and improve digestion.
2. Boosts Immunity:
• The minerals and nutrients in bone broth provide natural immune support, helping my family stay strong during cold seasons.
3. Promotes Skin, Hair, and Joint Health:
• Collagen from the bones helps keep my skin glowing, my joints happy, and my hair healthy.
4. Essential for Postpartum Recovery:
• As a mom of four, I've come to rely on bone broth as a key part of my postpartum recovery. Its nutrient density, collagen, and hydrating properties help rebuild strength, support tissue repair, and restore energy during those crucial early months. Bone broth gave me a moment of nourishment in the chaos of newborn life and family shifts - a small act of care that made a big difference.
For me, bone broth isn’t just food—it’s a ritual. Here’s how I incorporate it into my day:
• Morning Comfort: I sip it first thing in the morning, warmed in a mug with a raw milk, a splash of coffee and our Omni Powder. It’s a grounding way to start my day.
• Midday Pick-Me-Up: If I need a quick snack, I’ll heat up a mug of broth instead of staying stuck in the "hungry but too busy to eat" cycle. We've all been there - pushing through hunger only to crash later or end up eating everything in sight before dinner. Bone broth gives me a nourishing, satisfying boost that keeps me grounded and energized until the next meal.
• In Recipes: I use it as a base for soups, stews, and sauces, adding depth and nourishment to every meal. It's also my secret to making even the simplest repeat meals taste amazing. Whether it's a quick stir-fry, a humble pot of rice, or a basic soup, adding bone broth elevates the flavors so you don't feel the need to order takeout or search for something "better". It's an easy way to turn everyday dishes into something special while keeping them nourishing and satisfying.
This small, intentional act reminds me to pause, breathe, and care for myself so that I can stay aligned with my values and pour into others with a heart centered on purpose—even on the busiest days.
If you’re looking for a simple, nourishing way to support your health, I can’t recommend bone broth enough. It’s a small step with big benefits, whether you’re sipping it for gut health, immunity, postpartum recovery or just a little comfort.
