How to Keep Your Home Hormone-Safe

The EPA opened the doors on its US Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program in 1996. This branch of the agency was responsible for determining the impact on humans of industrial and agricultural chemicals either directly or indirectly.

A Guide to Consuming Bone Broth

Recently, we brought you an article on how bone broth can help heal an aching and damaged leaky gut.

In case you missed the article, here are the broad strokes:

Broth is easier to digest than solid food, so your gut can take some time off of work, replenish, and heal itself.

The amino acids in bone broth help to fight and reduce inflammation, ideal for people with gut pain.

So we know it’s good for you and we know that it can help repair intestinal cracks and strengthen the integrity of the gut lining.

A lot of contention remains about how to consume it – is store-bought okay? How long should cooking it take? Where do you get the bones? Can you use vegetable scraps? Which recipe do you use? How much should you consume daily?
