From the butterflies we feel when we’re nervous, to the way our stomach drops when we have to make a serious decision. The gut-brain connection is no joke! It’s no surprise that stress has a widespread influence on the body as a whole.
A dysregulated nervous system can wreak havoc on almost every body system, and the gut is one place we experience the effects of stress most acutely. Stress can impact every part of the digestive system, and research now shows us that in the same way our brain impacts our gut health - our gut health influences our brain. This connection is what’s now known as the gut-brain axis, and it describes the two-way communication line between the gut and the brain (and vice versa). The gut-brain axis is connected by the vagus nerve, one of the biggest nerves that connects the brain to the digestive system. The vagus nerve is the main component of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the state of our nervous system responsible for all things ‘rest and digest’. The vagus nerve supports many crucial functions within the body including our mood, immune system, heart rate and digestion.
Our gut and brain are also connected by neurotransmitters, those important chemicals that support our mood and other cyclical changes within the body. In fact, our gut is where the majority of our serotonin is produced, and our gut microbes play a role in producing GABA, our calming neurotransmitter. Studies now show that specific probiotic strains can actually support anxiety and other mental health conditions, which only highlights just how much of an influence our gut has on our mood and how we feel.
In a state of stress or what’s commonly known as ‘fight or flight’, the parasympathetic nervous system effectively shuts off. This means that all body functions related to ‘rest and digest’ are slowed, and our sympathetic nervous system takes over. The ‘fight or flight’ response increases our heart rate, sends blood to our muscles and prioritizes those acute body functions required for our survival. When we’re in a sympathetic state, any other functions that are not so immediate are slowed - like our digestion. Even though we may not be in acute danger, in a state of stress our body can’t discern between an immediate threat to our survival and a perceived stressor, like traffic or a work deadline.
The gut-brain axis is also connected via the immune system, which is responsible for our inflammatory response. Stress and our fight or flight response alarms the immune system, and if our immune system is switched on for too long (which happens when we’re chronically stressed), it can lead to inflammation. When we have a significant amount of gut inflammation, our digestive tract can become more permeable, causing what’s known as leaky gut.
Leaky gut occurs when the gap junctions in the intestinal walls become more permeable, allowing harmful bacteria and toxins to pass through to the bloodstream. This can cause widespread inflammation that not only impacts our digestive health, but you guessed it - our mood!
Inflammation is a huge stress on the body (and stress itself causes inflammation!). Reducing inflammatory/processed foods, avoiding alcohol, getting enough sleep and managing your stress will all aid in reducing inflammation.
The quickest way to trigger the parasympathetic nervous system is by taking long, slow breaths. When we’re stressed, we tend to take short, sharp breaths, and we use our chest instead of our belly. By consciously breathing through our stomach, we register to the nervous system that we’re not in any danger and that it’s safe to continue normal body functions - like digestion! Start by taking a few minutes each day to rest a hand on your belly and stay present with your breath.
Digestion begins in the mouth! Eating on the go or not chewing your food properly can lead to poor digestion from the get-go. We need to give our digestive system time to produce stomach acid and digestive enzymes, which breaks down our food and encourages a smooth transit.
We need zinc to produce enough stomach acid! Zinc also supports the integrity of the gut lining, maintains brain health and cognitive function and aids our immune system. Pumpkin seeds are one of the richest plant-based sources of zinc, other sources include oysters and red meat.
To repair the gut and nourish the gut lining, you’ll want to increase those gut healing foods like bone broth to help heal and seal the gut. Bone broth is rich in essential amino acids like glutamine, glycine and proline that aid in healing the digestive tract and reducing inflammation. It’s also rich in collagen, which improves the structural integrity of the gut.

]]>
Psoriasis, acne and eczema are all conditions that tend to share the same root cause - poor gut health. Gut dysfunction is a trigger for many skin conditions, and while it may seem like a surprising link, gut health is the foundation for healthy skin!
Our gut microbiome is made up of trillions of bacteria and microbes that live commensally within the digestive tract. These microbes carry out a variety of functions that have a widespread influence on our body as a whole, with studies uncovering direct links between our microbiome and our mental health, hormones and our skin. When it comes to the health and appearance of our skin, it may seem unrelated to prioritize gut health as a treatment - but it’s actually a common root cause of many skin conditions. Whatever is presenting on the skin is often a reflection of what’s going on internally within our gut.
Just like the gut, our skin has its own unique microbiome. While skin conditions are largely influenced by the skin microbiome, they’re also closely linked with the health of our gut microbiome. In the same way that our gut and brain is in constant communication, our gut is in communication with our skin by what’s known as the gut-skin axis. Our gut houses the majority of our immune system, it’s where the nutrients from our food are digested and absorbed, it aids in the detoxification of our hormones and it plays a role in regulating our neurotransmitters. When we look at the body holistically, it’s no surprise that our gut health would play a key role in the health and appearance of our skin. When our gut health is taking a hit, whether that’s from stress, an inflammatory diet or leaky gut, our skin is often the first place we notice it. There are a few key ways that poor gut health can impact our skin:
A healthy gut is crucial for the proper detoxification and elimination of our waste products. Our pathways of elimination (namely, our bowels) are not to be underestimated when it comes to our skin health. To get straight to the point, if we’re not moving our bowels regularly 💩 then we’re not effectively helping the body get rid of waste products! If the body isn’t getting rid of waste products on the regular, these substances can be recycled and reabsorbed - which is bad news for the skin. The skin is our largest organ, and it’s actually considered to be one of the clever ways our body eliminates waste products (think, sweat!). This means that if you're struggling to move your bowels regularly and your other pathways of elimination are compromised, the body may attempt to excrete these toxins through the skin.
How to support healthy detoxification: make sure you’re moving your bowels regularly - at least once a day! Drinking enough water, eating enough fiber and exercising are all great ways to prevent constipation that may be worsening your skin concerns.
Our gut is lined with cells that are tightly knit together to create a barrier between our digestive tract and the bloodstream. These cells are known as ‘tight junctions’, and they create tiny gaps that allow small amounts of nutrients to pass through. Leaky gut takes place when these tight junctions loosen and cause larger gaps in the intestinal wall, allowing harmful bacteria and other undigested food particles to pass into the bloodstream. This not only causes digestive symptoms like bloating and inflammation, but it also affects many other body systems, like our skin.
How to heal leaky gut: focus on gut healing foods like bone broth! As an incredible source of glutamine and other healing amino acids, bone broth aids in repairing the gut lining and supports the production of collagen.
In order to reap all the benefits of the nutrients from the food we eat, we need to be effectively absorbing our food. If we’re experiencing some gut dysfunction that disrupts the way our food is absorbed, it can lead to nutrient deficiencies which may impact the health of our skin. The body requires specific nutrients to maintain our skin integrity, nutrients like zinc, vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin C. If our gut health is compromised for whatever reason, we may not be effectively utilizing these nutrients from the food we’re eating, which can lead to all sorts of skin issues.
How to enhance absorption: digestion begins in the mouth! If we don’t take the time to mindfully eat our food, we won’t produce enough stomach acid to break it down. This makes it harder for our digestive system to absorb and assimilate the important nutrients from our food. Try not to drink water close to meals, focus on chewing your food and eating slowly, and make sure you’re eating enough zinc to encourage the production of stomach acid.
Also known as an imbalance of our gut bacteria, dysbiosis can cause a host of symptoms ranging from mood swings, brain fog to acne and psoriasis. Our microbiome is a key regulator for the immune system which is largely what controls our inflammatory response. When it comes to eliminating inflammatory skin conditions, from psoriasis to eczema, it all starts with addressing any imbalances within the gut.
How to address dysbiosis: invest in a good quality probiotic and focus on probiotic rich foods like kimchi and sauerkraut. Focus on those gut healing foods like bone broth, as well as foods rich in zinc and protein to support the gut lining and reduce inflammation.
Looking for more ways to support your gut health naturally? Check out our most recent blog post here.]]>The famous Hippocrates saying that ‘all disease begins in the gut’ has been affirmed by modern research, showing us just how important our gut health really is! When our gut is healthy and in tip-top shape, our body as a whole is usually ticking along pretty nicely. That’s because our gut doesn’t just influence the way we digest our food, but it impacts everything from the production of our neurotransmitters to the running of our immune system.
When it’s working in the way that it should, our gut is responsible for breaking down nutrients from the food we eat, giving us the energy to live our best lives. It helps rid the body of pathogens and eliminates waste products, preventing infections and hormonal imbalances.
It’s also the home of trillions of microorganisms that manage neurotransmitter function and impact inflammation and immune health.
Because our gut has such a widespread influence on the rest of our body, signs that your digestive health isn’t in the best shape may seem completely unrelated to the gut itself. Along with the common digestive complaints like bloating, irregular bowel movements and digestive discomfort, other signs that your gut may need a little TLC include skin conditions like eczema, hormonal imbalances and even poor sleep. If you’re lacking energy, having trouble focussing, or if you're experiencing symptoms of imbalance in any way, focusing on improving your gut health is the best place to start!
Reduce processed & inflammatory foods
It’s no surprise that the foods we eat have a direct influence on the gut. You really can’t go wrong with a whole-food diet, focusing on foods that have been minimally processed and are low in sugar. Fiber is also a key player and eating fiber rich fruits and vegetables will feed the gut bacteria and encourage the elimination of harmful waste products. When it comes to gut health, diversity is crucial! Getting a wide variety of nutrients in your diet encourages a more diverse gut microbiome, which creates a healthy environment for your gut bugs. It may help to focus on getting a range of colours in each meal, or ‘eat the rainbow’ as the saying goes!
Focus on gut healing foods
The term ‘leaky gut’ has gained a lot of attention recently, and it’s probably a lot more common (and easier to resolve) than you might think. Our digestive tract is lined with cells that are tightly knit together, creating a barrier between our digestive tract and the blood stream that allows small amounts of nutrients to pass through. Intestinal permeability, or leaky gut, is a condition that creates large gaps in the lining of the intestinal walls, allowing potentially harmful bacteria and other undigested substances to pass into the bloodstream. This alerts the immune system and causes those uncomfortable digestive symptoms like bloating, excess gas and irritable bowels.
The good news is that healing and sealing the intestinal walls to prevent leaky gut can be done with the right nutrition! This is where bone broth comes in. As an incredible source of glutamine and other important amino acids, bone broth maintains the function of the intestinal wall and actually helps prevent leaky gut. It nourishes the lining of the digestive tract and supports the production of collagen and connective tissue, making it the perfect gut healing food.
Identify food triggers
Foods that are irritating the gut will be contributing to intestinal permeability. By keeping a food diary and monitoring your symptoms as you eat different foods across the day, you may be able to identify which foods are setting you off. Common food triggers include dairy, gluten and eggs. But don’t worry, taking a break from these foods doesn’t mean you need to avoid them forever! It just means that your gut may need some time to heal before these foods are re-introduced.
Reduces stress
Stress can often be the biggest influence when it comes to our gut health. When the body is in a state of stress, our fight or flight response kicks in and we experience a surge in stress hormones like cortisol. This response gears the body for survival, and prioritises the organ systems required to combat any immediate threat. This means that our digestion effectively shuts off, because in a state of fight or flight - the body isn’t concerned about the efficient absorption of our food!
Along with the disruption caused by increased stress, it’s true that our gut and nervous system are in constant communication. IBS is a great example of this, and while stress isn’t the exclusive cause of IBS, we know that it’s a huge factor that contributes to those uncomfortable digestive symptoms. Research has identified that around 40-60% of individuals with IBS also have a mood disorder like depression or anxiety. There are even probiotics that have been shown to directly influence anxiety and other mood disorders, which highlights the way our gut bacteria can influence our mood. So if you’re experiencing digestive woes, don’t neglect those mood and stress managing techniques to support your gut health!
Probiotics
It’s estimated that we may have up to 300 trillion bacteria living inside of us, and most of these are actually found within the gut. Research is still uncovering the incredible potential of this colony of bacteria, also known as our gut microbiome, and the influence it has on our entire body. Having the right balance of gut bacteria has been linked to improved immune health, weight loss, clear skin and of course, improved digestion. Focusing on probiotic rich foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut and kimchi is a great way to increase your exposure to these gut-healing bugs. Modern research has identified many different strains of probiotics, and we know that some are more beneficial than others for various conditions. The influence that our gut bacteria have on our overall health is huge, so introducing a specific probiotic to manage this balance of bacteria can be a game-changer!

]]>1. Bone Broth – full of vitamins, minerals (especially magnesium and calcium) and amino acids like collagen and glycine. When you’re growing a baby you need to consume adequate minerals so you can grow the skeleton for that little human. If you’re not consuming enough through your diet your body can “borrow” your own minerals from your bones, not ideal! During pregnancy, researchers have found that glycine needs far exceed normal requirements. This means pregnant women absolutely need to consume enough glycine from their diet to help not only the baby develop, but to support the growth of the uterus. Bone broth is also a good source of glutamine, an amino acid that helps with support the get lining.
2. Seaweed – a rich source of iodine. Iodine is lacking in our soil so it’s a mineral many of us lack. Iodine requirements go up 50% during pregnancy. It’s very important for thyroid function, as our thyroid takes a bit of a hit when we are pregnant as it works overtimes. You also want to support your baby’s thyroid development and growth. Grab yourself some seaweed sheets to snack on daily or add a pinch of kelp salt to a meal daily to bump up your iodine intake. Also make sure you’re taking a good quality pre-natal that has sufficient levels of iodine.
3. Avocado – do we need another excuse to eat avocado? This healthy fat is rich in B6 and potassium (two important nutrients for keeping morning sickness at bay). Healthy fats in avocado also help support blood sugar balance, keep you full, satiated and calm. Add ½ an avocado to some eggs in the morning, or alongside a salad or make a guacamole to add on top of seed crackers for a delicious healthy snack.
4. Red meat – high in iron. Iron stores are depleted during pregnancy as our blood volume goes up by 50%! It’s extremely important to make sure you have sufficient iron levels to get you through pregnancy (and support good energy levels), the birth and postpartum recovery. Postpartum iron deficiency and anemia are extremely common and can have downstream effects on things like thyroid function and risk for postpartum depression. Make slow cooked stew and a lamb or beef steak, or a one-pan roasted lamb chop meal part of your regular weekly meal rotations.
5. Kale – every prenatal diet needs leafy greens!! Not only is kale a rich source of folate, it’s also jam-packed with vitamins, minerals, fibre, vitamin C and antioxidants. You can add kale into a smoothie, massage it with oil to toss through a salad, add a handful to a stir-fry, soup or casserole, sauté some alongside some eggs for breakfast.
6. Eggs – one of the best food sources of choline (a B vitamin), a nutrient every pregnant women needs to be aware of and consume daily. Did you know choline is equally important as folate for preventing neural tube defects?! Choline intakes at levels more than double our current recommended intake optimize placental function, may reduce the risk of preeclampsia, and improve infant cognitive development and reaction time. Choline also enhances the transport of nutrients across the placenta, including DHA. Eating 3 eggs daily is what I recommend, alongside taking a good quality pre-natal supplement that contains choline. Eggs are also a rich source of other B vitamins, minerals and vitamins such as vitamin A, D, E & K and the brain-building omega-3 fat known a DHA.

]]>Psyllium is an edible soluble fibre and prebiotic which comes from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant species. It is well known for its excellent colon cleansing abilities and its aid in the regularity of bowel movements, but even if your digestive health is 'on point' you may still benefit from taking psyllium husks regularly.
1. Psyllium is a prebiotic - a substance needed for healthy colonies of probiotics to grow in the gut. This is essential for healthy immune function and good gut health.
2. It helps promote regularity. Psyllium can hold up to 16x its dry volume in water! This absorbant effect helps to soften stool and ease the passing of bowel movements as well as improving regularity. We should all be aiming for the perfect poo!
3. Psyllium can help avoid blood glucose spikes. Some research has shown that fibres like psyllium can help people maintain a healthy glycemic balance and support healthy weight loss or maintenance. It also makes you feel a little fuller which means you're less likely to overeat.
4. It can support good heart health. Research has shown that taking soluble fibre (such as psyllium) can help people manage their cholesterol levels. One study shows that at least 6weeks of daily psyllium intake is an effective way for people who are overweight or obese to lower their cholesterol levels.
5. It contributes to you daily fibre intake. Ideally we need around 25grams to 30grams of fibre a day. A cup of oats contains about 10grams of fibre, add in 1 tbsp of psyllium husk and you've now got 15grams!
Because at Best Bones Broth we're all about maximising our health you'll find psyllium husk in our Daily Tonic and Asian Infusion bone broth blends. It's the ultimate gut health combo! When you're sipping away at your broth just make sure to keep a teaspoon handy to give the broth a stir every now and then so the psyllium doesn't settle at the bottom of your mug and instead does its good duty for your body.
Happy Sipping!
The Best Bones Broth Team

First off, after a good training session, it is a good idea to replace the water and electrolytes you have lost through sweat and to also introduce protein and carbohydrates for a quick and effective recovery. Bone broth is a great, natural source of water, electrolytes and protein - just look at our bone broth powder, it contains 86.7% bio-available protein!
If we dig a little deeper, glycine is an amino acid that makes up more than one-third of the collagen protein and which is abundant in our Organic Bone Broth. Glycine is important for the synthesis of haemoglobin and myoglobin which transport oxygen throughout the blood and muscle tissue. Glycine is also important for the synthesis of creatine. Increased creatine can lead to an increase in anaerobic (high-intensity) exercise capacity and stimulate the secretion of human growth hormone which may enhance muscle repair.
We have also received great testimonials from some of our customers saying that our Organic Bone Broth has helped them hugely with their training and recovery.
"I have been drinking Best Bones Broth for about 2-3mths daily and I LOVE it. I started out using the broth to make Miso Soup but now just have a cup of heated Chicken Best Bones Broth every morning. I work out most days doing some type of strength training and have absolutely seen the difference when it comes to aches and pains. I have a much quicker recovery turn around and no longer have constant aches or pain plus I feel much stronger. I also love the new powder Chicken BB. I take it with me when travelling out of town so I still get my daily hit."

We’d love to hear your stories about how bone broth has helped you or your family in some way, shape or form! Get in touch via our contact us form or email at hello@bestbonesbroth.co.nz
Bone Broth has been around for years and years and has been a part of many traditional diets around the world. For good reason too! Bone Broth is a natural and very nutrient-dense liquid which also offers these nutrients in a bio-available form for our bodies. Not only does it offer easily digestable nutrients but regular consumption can improve absorption of nutrients from other foods too. This occurs beacause Bone Broth assists in reducing inflammation, maintaining and healing your gut lining.
As our little ones are growing and developing they require a lot more nutrients per body mass than adults. This is why a nutrient-dense food like Bone Broth can be a great addition to your child's diet.
Two of the minerals found in Bone Broth are calcium and magnesium which are essential for our kids to build strong, healthy bones and teeth. Bone Broth also contains glucosamine and chondroitin, which are important nutrients for joint care and development. Another pair of nutrients found in Bone Broth are gelatin and collagen, which are key in building and supporting connective tissue as our kids grow. You’ll know if a Bone Broth contains good proportions of the latter two nutrients because when cold, the Broth should be a jelly like consistency. This gel dissipates when heated and creates a nice smooth liquid.
Bone Broth, along with other fermented and probiotic rich foods are great for overall gut health. Supporting and strengthening your child’s gut when they’re young, can greatly reduce the risk of food allergies and sensitivities. Other benefits may include a strengthened immune system and an improvement in skin issues such as eczema.
It is important to know when and how to incorporate Bone Broth into your kids' diet. Always consult with your doctor to get the approval for things regarding your own and your child’s health. We’re no experts in health, however, from personal experience and additional research we believe it is completely safe to begin including Bone Broth into your child's diet at 6 months of age or when they are beginning to eat solids. Start off with small amounts and see how things go, you can gradually increase the amount you give them.
You can either give your children Bone Broth in a drink form or by incorporating it into their solid foods. For the little ones, simply adding a tablespoon or so into their puréed food is such an easy way to do it! Other ideas are:
So there you go! A little more info for you surrounding Bone Broth for kids. If you have anymore questions don’t hesitate to ask - we'd love to hear from you!

As our organic bone broths are a natural product and free from any additives or preservatives it must be kept chilled at all times. When chilled in a refrigerator It will be good to use unopened until the Use By Date on the back of the package. Once opened consume within 3 days. If you don't think you will consume the whole packet before this time you can easily freeze our bone broth in ice cube trays to keep it fresh for up to 6months!
2) How is your bone broth made?
We use a traditional long and slow simmer process to extract as many nutrients as we can from the organic NZ bones. We use a 12 hour slow simmer for our Chicken Bone Broth. The Beef Broth take twice as long due to the larger bones, so a 24 hour slow simmer is needed. We simmer until the essential amino acids, collagen, vitamins and minerals have seeped out into the liquid (filtered water + apple cider vinegar) surrounding the bones and are ready to be enjoyed by the next person who comes along. Hopefully you ;)
3) What is in your bone broth?
We use only locally sourced certified organic bones for our bone broth. We don't add anything to our bone broth except filtered water and trace amounts of organic apple cider vinegar to extract all the good nutrients. This is to keep it versatile for use and perfect for a variety of diets.
4) Why is bone broth good for you?
Bone both has many great benefits. It is an amazing source of collagen and some specific amino acids which help our gut lining to heal and seal. This can lead to many other health benefits too; including skin rejuvenation, boosting the immunity, helping joints and much more. If you want to learn more about the healing qualities of bone broth head on over to our blog and benefits pages.
5) How do I enjoy my bone broth?
A great and simple way to consume our bone broth is to drink it with a little ginger, turmeric, lemon, salt and pepper. You can find this 'Daily Healing Tonic' recipe on our website. Other ways to incorporate it into your diet is by sautéing veggies or meat in it, cooking rice or other grains with it or by adding it to soups and curries. To get some inspiration head on over to our recipes page or follow us on Instagram and Facebook at @bestbonesbroth.

Our director here at Best Bones Broth is a surfer. He’ll pop out every now and again to catch a few waves and I guess I won’t complain because he come’s back relaxed, happier and focused.
Today I want to talk about a different kind of wave. The wave that is created when you start healing from the inside out. It is rather common nowadays to have gut health problems which may or may not lead to many other issues throughout the body and even the mind. As we see here in NZ, there is an incredible amount of processed foods that we are surrounded by which can be harder on our digestive systems. When the digestive system is having to work hard long hours and is not getting the maintenance it needs, problems start to arise. Allergies, intolerances, bloating, inflammation and a whole lot more can appear and quite often these signs are ignored and accepted as part of life. These health issues could be signs that your gut is not in the ‘shape’ it should be, but you’re in luck because it is something that can be quite often fixed with a few simple changes.
When the gut repeatedly works overtime, churning away at last nights dinner and dealing with inflammatory foods, the gut lining weakens and tiny unwanted holes appear. It is common for partially digested food, toxins and bugs to pass through these holes and travel to the tissues below. Our immune system then kicks into gear and similarly works in overdrive to investigate these new travellers. Inflammation, bloating, allergies and intolerances are often signs from an overworked gut.
A good quality bone broth containing high amounts of collagen and the amino acids proline, glutamine and arginine has found to be very effective in healing the weakened intestinal lining. This is because it contains many components found in the gut lining and therefore is perfect for repairing those tiny holes.
Once the gut lining is repaired and maintained many other issues throughout the body tend to be reduced or disappear completely. A wave is quite literally created and spreads from your gut right through to the outer skin on our body. In saying that, by consistently consuming bone broth and other gut healing foods you will often find your skin looks replenished, firm and younger.
So if you’re not a surfer, or even if you are, this is definitely a wave you want to catch.
