hey, guys, dr. axe here. doctor of naturalmedicine and founder of draxe.com. in this video i want to teach you how to do a bonebroth fast. and this is something i've taught my patients how to do for years. the benefitsare tremendous. if you're looking to improve your metabolism, support your digestion, improvethe health of your skin, hair and nails, support detoxification, take your digestion to thenext level, detox your body and have healthier
easy to follow ibs diet, joints and flexibility and comfort, all ofthose issues bone broth can help. and for a lot of us, we are so deficient in bone broththat doing a bone broth fast can help us load up on these things as well resting our organs. and listen, i've done a lot of fasts and cleansesover the years. i've done the daniel fast,
i've done juice cleanses and fasts, i've doneliver cleanses, colon cleanses, the masters cleanse, the makers cleanse. i've done allof these different cleanses in the past, and the bone broth fast that i've done is by farthe most effective way i've seen to really support health in the body as well as restthe body at the same time. and so again i'm going to teach you how to do that and themany benefits of doing a bone broth fast. so one of two things you'll need with doingthis bone broth fast. it's typically going to last three days, so i recommend doing athree-day bone broth fast. and that's where the only thing you're drinking is bone brothfor essentially five meals a day. so you're going to drink a glass of bone broth fivetimes a day, and that's really it. so that's
what you'll do with the bone broth fast. and the benefits are this. when we look atbone broth, bone broth is high in so many nutrients that our bodies are missing. andhere is the other thing i love about this cleanse. i've done cleanses and fasts in thepast where afterwards i'll lose a lot of weight, but i'll lose muscle mass not just body fat.the great thing about a bone broth cleanse is bone broth is high in amino acids and protein,so when you do that fast, you'll only lose fat and not lose the muscle. and that's reallyimportant for someone like me who can lose muscle easily. we want to lose the fat, keepthe muscle. and that's why this is so much better than any other cleanse especially atrevving the metabolism up and supporting detoxification.
and so bone broth, here are some things toremember about it. number one, it's packed with amino acids. it's high in the amino acidsproline, glutamine, glycine and arginine. and proline is the main amino acid that helpstighten and tone our skin, but it also supports gut health. if you have leaky gut or digestiveissues, this helps with the colon. it helps cleansing the colon and the skin. so if youwant to cleanse the colon and the skin which are connected, proline is great. it also contains amino acid glycine. glycinesupports liver detoxification. and so many of us we're exposed to so many toxins on aregular basis, from environmental pollutants, to home cleaning products, to personal careproducts or even shampoo and our own deodorant
we use are loaded with chemicals for manyof us on a regular basis. well, glycine can help your liver in detoxifying. number three amino acid, l-glutamine. l-glutamineis the number one amino acid that supports leaky gut and gut repair which is great forcleansing as well. and then number four, arginine which supports circulation of hormone cleansing.so again if you want to naturally support circulation, your heart health, your lungsdetoxification, that's where that amino acid arginine is so important. so again bone brothis full of all of those. also bone broth has potassium, the ultimatecleansing mineral. most of us get way too much sodium in our diet. and remember sodiumbrings nutrients and water into your body,
potassium helps flush waste and toxins outof your body. so most of us are deficient in potassium and have too much sodium. weneed to balance that out. when that happens, it's called your body'ssodium-potassium pump. imagine your body starts pumping out toxins. well, bone broth is packedwith potassium. also bone broth contains hyaluronic acid glucosamine chondroitin, glycosaminoglycansand other nutrients that support health of the body as well. so again a bone broth cleanseis so beneficial. and you can either make your own bone brothat home. you can do chicken or beef broth. with chicken you're going to buy chicken feet,backs or necks at your local farmers market or whole foods. you'll put those in a crock-potor a slow cooker. i've got actually one here.
and you'll put those in a crock-pot with waterand apple cider or vinegar. you'll cook it for 24 to 48 hours and that liquid is bonebroth. the other thing you can do is actually justbuy bone broth powder. what i do is bone broth protein powder. this is from a company, thisis my favorite company. it's called ancient nutrition bone broth protein. and you canfind this online. you can go to your local health food store and ask them for bone brothprotein here. but this is the most convenient thing in the world. i mean i bring this everywherei go. i just went on a trip to florida and new york, i brought this bone broth proteinpowder with me. you just do one scoop in water. and they havea plain flavor, they also have a chocolate
and a vanilla and a turmeric. the turmericis great because it's so good for healthy inflammation levels in the body. the plainis just great to add to different things. i'll add this to a number of things. and thechocolate and vanilla taste amazing. and so you know when i do a bone broth cleanse,again i'll do one glass a day and i'll mix it up. sometimes i'll do plain, sometimesi'll do chocolate, vanilla and turmeric. but that's the thing i love about this is i willmake my own bone broth at home and use it, but for convenience. it takes so much timeto make my own bone broth that sometimes i like just adding in and doing the bone brothpowder. so again, 12 ounces of water, one scoop ofbone broth protein, drink that five times
a day for these tremendous benefits and havingreally more beauty in terms of toning up your skin, supporting healthy hair, supportingdetoxification we've talked about, better digestion, boosted metabolism, healthier jointsand flexibility, all of those things. it supports the body in all of those ways, and supportingimmunity too because of all the nutrients here. so again you can do a bone broth protein oryou can make bone broth yourself at home or do both. sometimes i'll do that. i'll do bonebroth liquid, drink a glass of that during the day and then sometimes i'll do bone brothpowder. but this essentially is just in bone broth in powder form, add to water and it'sstraight bone broth. again ancient nutrition
bone broth protein. but so again with a bone broth fast, you couldstart off with one day, you could do three days, you could do as much as you know as10 days with doing a bone broth fast. but i reckon for most people three days in orderto do a bone broth fast. and one of my good friends jordan rubin called me the other dayand he said, "josh, you know what i do?" he said, "i do bone broth intermittent fasting." here's a great thing, and this is one of thethings that you may want to do. what you're going to do is you're going to drink bonebroth or bone broth protein with water. so you're going to drink that for breakfast,lunch or snack, so three times, and then you're
going to eat whatever you want for dinner.you're going to eat a solid meal for dinner. so you're going to just drink bone broth smoothiesor bone broth throughout the day, and then you're going to eat a solid meal for dinner. that's called a bone broth intermittent fastwhere you just drink bone broth all day and then 6:00 or so in the evening when you gethome, you're going to actually do a solid meal. eat healthy of course. you know do somegrass-fed beef and some sprouted rice, cooked vegetables or raw vegetables and fruit. eata good healthy meal, an anti-inflammatory meal for dinner, but then drink bone broththroughout the day. so you can either do a three-day bone broth fast with just bone brothor do a bone broth intermittent fast where
you're doing bone broth throughout the dayand a solid meal for night. and again i guarantee if you do a bone brothfast, you're going to notice improvements in your digestion, a boost in metabolism.you're going to notice stronger immunity, healthier skin, hair and nails, better jointhealth, flexibility and comfort. also you're going to notice it's going to really supportdetoxification. and the other thing i love about a bone broth fast is it's the easiest,faster detox that i've ever done because i'm not losing muscle mass. i can still stay fullyet my body is cleansing and reaching an optimal level of health during that time. so if you want to learn more about doing abone broth fast, check out my website, draxe.com.
