What to Know About Bone Broth Gut Health & Cancer Recovery

from THRIVE ON with Dr Lori, ND | Thriving Beyond Cancer · host Dr. Lori Bouchard

Bone broth is rich in glutamine and gelatin, two nutrients that are very healing for the gut and help repair damage after cancer treatments. But does it help your immune system fight abnormal cells, or can it fuel cancer’s growth?Most people with cancer have some level of gut inflammation from medications, antibiotics, or environmental toxins. Bone broth can help strengthen the GI tract and repair those tight junctions to prevent leaky gut. It supports the gut-brain connection, improves nutrient absorption, and calms inflammation that can impact the immune system.I always recommend choosing antibiotic-free, hormone-free, and organic bone broth from animals raised without exposure to glyphosates or chemicals. Poor-quality broth can create more inflammation and stress on the body. Moderation also matters. Too much protein can trigger the mTOR pathway, which signals cells to divide faster.Bone broth can be a great addition for early-stage recovery or gut repair, but it should never replace a balanced diet. It also provides potassium to help balance sodium and support heart and cellular health. Used mindfully, it can strengthen digestion, boost energy, and support long-term healing.Download the ⁠⁠⁠⁠Ultimate Cancer Screening Guide ⁠⁠⁠⁠in the show notes to track key markers and understand your body’s signals for prevention and healing.Join the Accelerated Healing Process ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠APPLY HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Dr. Lori, ND.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@‌drloribouchard_nd ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @‌livelongerwithdrlori⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not replace medical care from your physician.
