Anti inflammatory Bone Broth (and why bone broth rocks)


This is the wonderful goodness that I create almost daily. When I don’t have it now, I get sad. It is amazingly comforting, and it has wonderful anti inflammatory benefits to boot! So why bone broth? Well, I’ll tell you!

Bone broth is a nutrient bomb. It is made up of many things that our bodies need, but especially two of those things are proline and glycine. Glycine and proline are two main components of our connective tissue that holds our bodies together. Even though there are many types of connective tissue, these two amino acids are present in most of them. If we didn’t have these two amino acids holding us together, we would literally crumble! So you can imagine how critical these two power house are for our health! Glycine in particular helps our immune system tremendously and reduces active inflammation. From healing cuts and scrapes to healing our immune systems, getting this into our system is critical.

Glycine does many more things for us as well. It aids in digestion, helps with proper nervous system function, helps the detoxification process, regulates blood sugar and helps muscle growth and repair, among others. Crazy list right?? But don’t forget about proline! Proline helps reduce cholesterol in your blood and helps to break down proteins needed for muscle growth and repair.

Was that enough reason for you to be drinking bone broth daily? I hope so. Let’s get on to the broth, shall we?

First, some tips.

  • Getting your bones from a reputable source will make a HUGE difference. Not only to your finished product, but also to the nutrient make up of your broth. The better the bones, the better the broth.
  • Also, the best bones I’ve found for broth are the bones you don’t want to touch. Think chicken feet, chicken necks, marrow, etc. They will make your broth come out like jello (that’s a GREAT thing, by the way). The gelatinous consistency is the collagen from the bones. It will become totally liquid when it is heated.
  • I usually find my bones at Whole Foods, or at my Local Farm Market. They are usually pretty cheap too. If you can’t find them in stores, just ask a local butcher to save some for you, they usually will!

To make the broth:

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • Bones upon bones upon bones.
  • But for reals, as many bones as you can get. (Some people mix bones, like chicken and beef bones, but I’ve never tried that)
  • Lots of water
  • 1-2 TBS of Apple Cider Vinegar (this helps to extract the nutrients from the bones as they cook)
    • This is all I add usually, since I like to add my own herbs to each mug, but,
  • If you wish to add cut up veggies and herbs to flavor your broth, please do! You can’t really go wrong. Many people add carrots, celery, onion, salt, garlic, bay leaf etc.

HOW TO:

  • Put the bones in your slow cooker (you can use your Instant Pot as well, but I haven’t tried that yet)
  • Add water, enough to almost cover the bones.
  • Add Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Add veggies and herbs if using
  • Put slow cooker on low, cook for 12-48 (yes, 48. no, it won’t go bad)

That’s all! Pretty simple really, it just takes forever to cook. The longest I have cooked mine is about 14 hours. It came out wonderful. I’m sure if you cook it 48 hours, it will come out awesome as well.

TO MAKE MY MUG OF ANTI INFLAMMATORY GOODNESS:

To each mug of bone broth I make, I add herbs and sea salt. Sometimes the herbs are more on the tasty side, sometimes they are on the spicy side. Lately, I’ve been on a turmeric/ginger combo kick. The turmeric helps reduce my inflammation and the ginger helps calm my stomach. To create this wonderful concoction all you have to do is mix all these things together!

  • 1/4 tbs turmeric
  • 1/8 tbs ginger
  • almost 1/8 tbs of black pepper (omit for strict AIP)
  • 1/4 tbs of salt

Drink up!

I’M ALISSA!

I help women who have also been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis make specific and personalized diet, lifestyle & subconscious changes so that they can begin to heal their body, reduce disease symptoms, and return to a life they love.hey there,

follow along on Instagram:

My reality has changed a whole bunch over the years.

I started out with only a few symptoms. But I could get through the day.

Until all of a sudden I couldn’t.

All within a few years I went from “fine” to:
Having horrible symptoms, had 3 relapses and found myself with “aggressive MS”

This was not ok with me.

Eventually, I took my life into my own hands and rethought how I did most things.
I realized I had to make some changes, or else idk what else was gonna happen to me.

So I did.

I changed my diet.
I changed how I worked out.
I changed my job in the name of stress management.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

If you want this transformation for you too (I know it’s possible) I’m launching my signature course: Holistically Healing MS in a few weeks. 

This is the course you need to get started on this path for yourself.

Only the waitlist is gonna get the pre sale price…

This is the reality I lived, I want you to experience it too.

No, this is not a quick fix.
No, these results wont happen overnight.
No, this won’t cure you.

BUT-

Yes, you can have your life back.
Yes, you can feel better than you do right now.
Yes, your current reality doesn’t have to be a forever reality.

My success years ago was all thanks to the diet changes and the work I put in to know exactly how to eat to support MY body and MS at the same time. 

Yes it took a few months, but what it gave me back was my life- and that’s priceless. 

I’m spilling all the beans on what this process looks like and how to do it in my upcoming Masterclass:
5 Secrets To Creating Your Own MS Diet.

This is my vision for the masterclass I’m hosting next Monday.

I want this to be an interactive experience where you learn how to best take care of yourself and MS symptoms through the food you’re eating.

Instead of:
- feeling hesitation and confusion around what foods are best for MS
- not making changes because you’re afraid you’ll do it wrong 
- saying no again to going out to eat with friends 

Find the freedom and confidence you’ve been looking for.

My mom will confirm, this was me HARD as a kid.

I used to hate all forms of vegetables, just cause they were vegetables. Whether or not I had tried them was irrelevant, I hated them all the same.

Now, I’m not saying this to blame myself for anything, I’m more saying this as a message of solidarity and that it’s never too late to change.

But I also understand that process is hard!! 
Sometimes getting support can help you move forward.

If you:
- are wanting to change your diet to help MS symptoms but aren’t sure where and how to start
- feel frustrated when you do make changes because you can’t stick to them
- have already been eating super strict and can’t seem to add more foods back to your diet

It’s been a week for me… maybe you too?

Use this short video for a moment of peace and regulation.

What do you notice in your body and about your emotions when you exhale and drop your shoulders?

Or when you hear bird songs?

Notice what makes you feel more calm, relaxed and at peace. 
Do more of that..

FYI- This process took several YEARS for me . So please stop beating yourself up if you’re not here yet.

I get it- it’s really easy to shame yourself into changing something, especially your diet/the foods you eat. And especially when we feel there are other things we “should be doing” because we know “it’s better for us”.

But that is NOT my wish for you.

Hi 👋🏼 my name is Alissa and we do things differently around here.

My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools necessary to make informed decisions about your dietary choices, tailored to your unique MS needs and preferences.

This is why I wrote my Eating for MS Guide the way I did.
I did not give you foods to fear or messages of ONLY EAT THIS FOOD FOREVER OR ELSE.

I’m giving you the tools to be confident in the choices you’re making, because you know it works for YOU. Not because you “should” do it this or that way.

If you’ve been wanting: 
- to eat in a way that supports your body with MS, but are confused about all the different messages online
- to feel empowered about your choices, not shamed
- to do it all in a gentle, slow way, not a crash diet..

My guide is for you!!

Or for when you’re trying to talk yourself out of being sick.. 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️😂😂

Even if you feel fine, try saying a few of these out loud. Feel what happens to your body when you do.

Do you feel an expansion or lightness in your chest?
Does breathing get a little easier?
Just notice the shifts in your body.

I’m not saying we can talk ourselves out of it (illness, flares etc) … but… our body and cells respond to our thoughts.

So how we think about ourselves is definitely in the conversation of how we can take care of ourselves overall.
