Bone broth= a nervous system hug in a jar. 🫙
Seriously, soup is self-care.
Cold weather can leave you tight and guarded without you noticing: shoulders creeping up, breath getting shallow, tension stacking.
A warm mug of bone broth is a simple, research-backed way to support calm from the inside out.
Why it can feel regulating:
Bone broth is rich in glycine, an amino acid that acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Using 3g glycine before bed has shown improvements in sleep quality and next-day functioning, which can support steadier mood and resilience.
It also contains glutamine, a key fuel for the gut lining and immune system. Clinical research suggests glutamine can support the intestinal barrier, and the gut–brain axis plays a major role in stress response.
TCM winter tip: protect your core. Choose warm, easy-to-digest nourishment that supports circulation and steadier energy when the weather is doing the most.🧣❄️🧊
How to use it (endless + easy):
Sip it straight, use it as a soup base, cook pasta/rice with it, or add it to sauces, stews, or marinades. It freezes beautifully 🤌- I like freezing bone broth in an ice cube tray and tossing a cube into pretty much whatever I’m cooking.
