Summary

From healing autism and autoimmune diseases with bone broth to the sneaky, sad truth about what it actually takes to get on grocery store shelves (spoiler: brands have to pay for shelf space—and they’re often required to go on sale multiple times a year, which eats into their margins), this episode is packed with eye-opening insights. We get into the GAPS diet—what it is and how it works—the realities of USDA regulations, and the little-known details about Prop 65: including how some brands voluntarily put that scary warning on their packaging even when their test results are well below Prop 65 lead levels. My dear friend and sister in Christ, Sharon Brown, founder of Bonafide Provisions, shares her powerful story of helping to heal her son with bone broth, and how that journey led her to create the first company to bring real, traditionally-made bone broth to the market. Plus, we talk about sneaky ingredients in many bone broth products and what to watch out for. Topics Discussed: Healing autism and autoimmune disease with bone broth USDA regulations and challenges The GAPS diet Additives and hidden ingredients in bone broth Prop 65 labels and what they really mean Lead levels in produce Why many brands can’t afford to be in stores FODMAP-friendly bone broth options As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].

And this is something I have been personally taking for about three years now. It is a pre-an probiotic capsule all in one. And it's something I talk about on my
2:20.3	Instagram too. And I always recommend it to everyone that asks me what probiotic would I recommend.
