let’s talk about bone broth does it work well there’s not a tremendous amount of research out there a lot of people claim that it works but i think you just need to test it out for yourself to see if it does work when you have knowledge of something and you know it’s true it’s something that you personally experienced yourself knowledge doesn’t come from second-hand information where well i know it’s true because i read something in a paper or someone told me it’s true it’s true because i tried it out myself and so if you have gut problems or arthritis or maybe an autoimmune disease you might want to try it because most people do bone broth for those two reasons but today i want to discuss why it may work for those two conditions and these are just theories we don’t know for sure but what is bone broth bone broth is basically this cooked down bone joints connective tissue marrow and ligaments and tendons and basically you’re cooking all this down to make kind of a brew or a soup out of it and then you’re going to consume this liquid and when you cook it you break it down to these smaller elements and so you’re taking this protein this long chain of amino acids and you’re breaking it up into smaller amino acids so it is easier to digest and assimilate and absorb into your tissue so it’s not just amino acids it’s a lot of different things when you’re making bone broth you know breaking down bone into calcium phosphorus a lot of other minerals and there’s a lot of other things in joints and connective tissue and even fat soluble vitamins that can be in this product now we know um one of the amino acids called glutamine does improve gut the gut barrier and bone broth is a good source of glutamine now autoimmune diseases usually stem from some gut problem where you have this protein that invades the lining of your immune barrier your gut and then your immune system starts to inappropriately tag this is a pathogen or a foreign body and now you have antibodies against this particular protein and so you can have an autoimmune disease against almost any body tissue now you can also have something called molecular mimicry where you have some substance that can mimic a body tissue where you have some substance like gluten for example the protein in wheat can mimic the thyroid tissue so this could be one reason why you develop hashimoto’s which is an autoimmune condition to your own thyroid so you have that factor as well but when we deal with arthritis for example especially rheumatoid arthritis it’s an autoimmune disease and it usually stems from the gut and so anything you can do to heal the gut can be good for arthritis there’s other types of arthritis conditions with other causes you could have high iron which can cause arthritis or a liver problem or consuming too many omega-6 fatty acids which then create inflammation also a low vitamin d situation can create arthritis or joint pain or muscle pain especially of the lower back or you can have a hidden infection in a tooth that can then go into the systemic circulation and go the different parts of your body and create arthritis or heart problems or it can invade your brain so if you’re taking bone broth for arthritis you really want to also find out what is the actual cause of my arthritis because if it’s coming from something like a liver problem or high iron bone broth is not going to work now i want to mention one theory that i have that could potentially be the reason why bone broth does help for joint pain especially an autoimmune type joint pain situation now if you think about what an autoimmune disease is it’s a situation where your own body has antibodies against its own tissue okay they’re called auto antibodies so it’s like your body has an allergy to its own tissue and it reacts against its own tissue so we have this constant inflammatory situation of the joint if you have this this autoimmune condition now dr royally back in the 40s came up with this very interesting this idea this concept and it kind of goes like this let’s say you had an autoimmune disease of your joints okay where you had some type of antibodies that are attacking the synovial fluid or the synovial joint or the cartilage or whatever and you consumed tissue from another species as in bone broth that has similar dna in it okay and you consume this it went into your stomach your own antibodies that are attacking the joint they’re called auto antibodies would then be distracted and go after this decoy it’s a really brilliant strategy that he came up with and so what you’re doing is you’re creating a distraction you’re causing this auto immune attack to occur in another place in the body and away from the joint that’s being inflamed giving the joint a chance to heal and so he found that if you did this over a period of time you can deplete these this store of autoantibodies in your system and improve autoimmune conditions and so he came up with a lot of different remedies for different types of autoimmune conditions whether it was for the thyroid or the lung tissue or whatever and so his company called standard process has these products that end with pmg okay that that stands for protomorphogen which is basically the dna of something okay but another species like in a cow for example so its products would be like thyroid pmg or overtrophin pmg but this is just one theory that potentially could be true i don’t know if it’s true or not but i do know when people consume bone broth they generally do feel better in their joints so i just wanted to bring that up as maybe a another understanding of the mechanism but if you have gut issues there’s several things you need to do number one probiotics or even better yet doing fermented cabbage as in sauerkraut or kimchi you can get a lot of probiotics from that also the diet that you should be on for gut issues should be more fat okay in animal protein i’m talking about animal fat and animal protein okay that’s really good for the gut but the ratio should be more fat to protein you don’t want to do lean protein with a gut issue you want to do more fattier protein okay so it would be like two or three to one as far as the ratio of how much fat versus protein so fatty meat fatty sausage things like that if you’re gonna do plants or vegetables i would recommend cooking or steaming them because those plant chemicals can irritate people with gut inflammation definitely don’t have any grains or grain oils okay and i would not recommend dairy eggs are fine organ meats are fine bone marrow is really good one last point about bone marrow people want to know can i take it when i’m fasting i don’t recommend bone broth when you’re doing intermittent fasting however if you’re doing a prolonged fast let’s say you’re doing three days four days seven days whatever it might be helpful to take some bone broth simply because you’re going to be in a situation where you might need some of these raw materials especially some of these amino acids here and there and because you’re not consuming a lot of food you’re just consuming a liquid version of these amino acid and other products i think it could be a very temporary situation where you’re maybe you’re going out of ketosis and you get right back into it and a true fast is a fasting and you’re not consuming anything else so if you’re getting like muscle loss of course you would need more amino acids from that so just a side note now there’s a very interesting uh interview that i did with a doctor on leaky gut that would be a really good next video for you to watch okay check it out i put it right here
