1.2 Bone Broth and Fermented Foods


1.2 Bone Broth and Fermented Foods

I was watching PBS one morning and a Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Kelly Anne, was talking about immune disease and she basically disguised a eating plan as a weight loss strategy that can treat immune disorders.

She talked about a 21 day protocol to reboot your gut and develop the conditions where healthy gut bacteria could thrive.  I modified her program to fit my lifestyle, what I took away from her program was that you should:

  1. Eat an animal protein at every meal
  2. Consume bone broth once a day
  3. Consume a fermented food once a day

She also said to remove grains from your diet as there is no daily allowance of grains that your body actually needs.  I did not quite catch this point the first time through.

I started making my own bone broth, it is really simple.

  • Take a handful of bones, beef, fish, turkey, chicken, whatever, put in a slow cooker
  • Add two teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Add vegetables, perhaps fruit, spices
  • Boil for 12 to 24 hours
  • Strain and freeze


Benefits of Bone Broth
  • Rich in Minerals
  • Intestinal Anti-inflammatory
  • Rich in Collagen
  • Feeds the immune system

Benefits of Fermented Foods
  • A source of healthy bacteria for the gut
  • More effective than a probiotic supplement because it is a source of food for the healthy bacteria.

1.1 Why exercise is the wrong approach for weight management

1.1 Why exercise is the wrong approach for weight management There were two times in my life where I focused on exercise consistently.  What I found was that the motivation for working out was different each time, but the fundamental beliefs about what exercise was and what it did was not understood. The Gym The first time that I got into exercising, I was 21 and I was going to the gym to tone and build muscle.  It was interesting in the way that I went to the gym with a friend and the support of going to the gym together was enough to keep us going.  This lasted for about a year and a half and we definitely built muscle and shaped our bodies.  During that time, I gained predominantly muscle weight and shaped my body in a very stereotypical way.  The problem was that when I stopped going to the gym, the body shaping was undone.  This was a lifestyle change that was unsustainable! Over the next 5 years, I would describe my lifestyl...

1.1 Disposal: Landfill what happens to our trash

1.1 Disposal:  Landfill, what happens to our trash Disposal is the lowest form of waste management, it is what you do with items that cannot be recovered, recycled, reused or avoided entirely.  When you throw anything into the garbage your municipality collects the waste and takes it to the landfill.  It does not get sorted, only piled into the dump and buried. It is important not to throw away any toxic material as it has the potential to get into the water supply.
