Bone Broth for Hormone Balance

Sharing is caring

Nourish your body with mineral-rich, collagen-packed bone broth—an age-old remedy for gut health, immunity, and radiant skin made from slow-simmered bones and herbs.

As a nutrition consultant and holistic chef, bone broth is a foundational recipe in my kitchen—and for good reason. It’s rich in collagen, gelatin, and essential minerals that deeply support gut health, joint function, immunity, and even skin elasticity. I love slow-simmering grass-fed bones with aromatic vegetables, herbs, and a splash of apple cider vinegar to extract every drop of goodness. Bone broth is more than a trendy elixir—it’s a time-tested, deeply nourishing tradition that belongs in every wellness-minded home. Sip it warm, use it as a base for soups and stews, or freeze it in cubes for a quick nutrient boost anytime.

Health Benefits of Bone Broth

By now, you’ve probably heard a lot about bone broth. Bone broth is in fashion now, but do you know that drinking bone broth can enhance your hormonal health?

I’m a huge fan of bone broth, and I was raised on bone broth. I used to help my grandmother cook and make all kinds of concoctions. In the country I come from, Poland, we did not waste any part of the animal.

During communism, when I was growing up, there was nothing in the stores, so we had to get an entire animal from a farm and process it for months to come.

We knew that animal bones are highly nutritious and assist in replenishing minerals in our bodies.

Lucky for me, I live in Boulder, where farms are plentiful, Whole Foods and great Farmers marker are close by. I can get grass-fed bones, free-range and organic bones, as well as chicken feet. I know that chicken feet don’t seem too appetizing, but chicken feet provide lots of collagen, proteins, calcium, and trace minerals and help make bone broth thick. Pure goodness!

Medicinal Properties of Bone Broth

• Has been used for centuries in many traditional cultures as a healing food. There’s a reason chicken (Polish penicillin) soup is recommended in Poland when we’re sick with cold and the flu, and there is even evidence to support this theory.

The medicinal properties of bone broth certainly don’t stop at the flu – check it out…

• Helps heal the gut and, eventually, your hormones!

When hormones are working correctly, they do an extraordinary job. They regulate every aspect of your life—your sleep, sex drive, appetite, weight, energy, and even digestion. By eating the right foods and cutting out the one that creates inflammation in your body, you can balance your hormones and heal the gut.

About 85% of women who come to my practice with hormonal imbalances have digestive issues such as bloating, candida, gas, leaky gut, leaky gut food sensitivities, allergies, IBS, or chronic constipation. I suffered for years with digestion (food sensitivities, candida, bloating, gas, bloating, and constipation) and had no idea that all of those symptoms were linked to hormones!

They are closely connected because if your gut is not working optimally, you are not digesting and absorbing enough nutrients to be healthy. Nutrients are needed for hormone production. Plus, food sensitivities and allergies might create an inflammatory response in your body. This makes cortisols spike and promotes cortisol production, throwing our hormones out of balance.

• Can soothe and heal your gut, reducing inflammation and creating an optimal environment for beneficial bacteria, thereby supporting your immune system’s optimal function.

• Is full of amino acids such as glycine, proline, glutamine, and arginine. Amino acids are essential for hormone production. The hormone detoxification process (crucial to a woman’s hormonal health) helps your body eliminate the excess metabolized hormones, rather than recirculating them in the body causes imbalance issues such as estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance leads to hormonal imbalances such as PCOS, endometriosis, and even breast cancer. Glutamine is great for soothing the gut and can heal leaky gut.

• Contains collagen, calcium, and magnesium. Calcium is required for liver detoxification and hormone balance.

• Is excellent for the skin! The collagen in bone broth repairs our cells and tissues and prevents our skin from sagging!

• Helps us maintain our youth. Collagen is like our hormone’s little helper – when we have more of it, our hormones don’t have to work quite so hard.

• Can even help you get rid of cellulite because it helps maintain healthy connective tissue. A lack of good connective tissue typically shows up as the trademark lumpy, dimpled skin, also known as cellulite.

• Helps you have strong bones, teeth, and joints because of the high calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus content, thus keeping bones and teeth healthy. You can use bone broth to help you remineralize your teeth, which means bone broth helps the cavities heal. I had experienced that when I had a tooth infection.
