Chicken Liver & Walnut Pâté
Bone broth (or stock) is fabulous for healing intestinal permeability. It contains collagen, which nourishes the intestinal lining and reduces inflammation. Plus, it’s easy for a damaged gut to digest and reap the benefits of its protein and minerals. Our version contains added gut superfoods that will take its gut-restoring potential to the next level. The vegetables add prebiotic, anti-inflammatory, flavonoid and nutrient properties, and the spices we use have been specifically shown to improve gut integrity. If you suffer with increased intestinal permeability or one of the many conditions associated with leaky gut, this is a must-have in your regular culinary repertoire.
Conditions associated with leaky gut include: Acne, allergies, brain god, Celiac disease, constipation, Crohn’s disease, depression, diarrhea, eczema, fatigue, food intolerance, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, hives, IBS, migraines, overweight/obesity, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, rosacea, ulcerative colitis.
Side note: broth is also inherently calming, consoling and restorative, which if it helps reduce your stress levels is also going to help your gut. To learn more about leaky gut, including other factors that can help heal it, read our article here.
The “dance of methylation” extends far beyond supplementing with B12 and methylated folate. Indeed, long term outcome studies using this approach are lacking, and research suggests caution is advised with regard to imbalanced hypermethylation. However, much can be done to safely support methylation balance.
Sparing “methyl donor drain” through appropriate lifestyle interventions, including reducing total body inflammation, augmenting the microbiome and promoting exercise, stress reduction and sufficient sleep, along with a careful dietary prescription that supports methyl donor reserve is a safe, nuanced approach which allows the complex, homeodynamic process of methylation to take place.

Instructions
- Combine bones, water and vinegar in a pot, bring to a boil, remove any scum that has risen to the top and reduce heat.
- Simmer 4-6 hours for fish or shellfish, 6-48 hrs for poultry, 12-72 hrs for beef or lamb, the longer the better so that more gelatin and nutrients are released into the liquid.
- Add the vegetables, spices and herbs for the last hour of cooking.
- Strain through a sieve and discard the bones and vegetables. If uncooked meat was used to start with, you may reserve the meat for soup or salads. If you wish to remove the fat, use a gravy separator while the broth is warm, or skim the fat off the top once refrigerated.
- Cold broth will gel when sufficient gelatin is present. Broth may be frozen for months, or kept in the refrigerator for about 5 days.
- Broth can be used in soups, stews, braised dishes, sauces, or gravies.
- It can also be sipped as a warm drink, especially nice with a squeeze of lemon and a little sea salt.

Would you please add instructions as to when to add vegetables, spices, heros, mushrooms, gratis, onions in the recipe?
Good catch Leonne! We corrected the instruction item that somehow got missed. Hope you enjoy!
I believe you need black pepper for absorbency of turmeric .
The book nourishing broth by Sally Fallon is probably the best. Brasco Broth is a similar recipe. I add salt to taste, I also cook the vegetables the last 12 hours, also can make rice with it. The meat leftover is no good really as everything is cooked out of it. Bones are getting expensive and questionable since they absorb metals, so meat broth works as well.
A good book is Sally Fallone nourishing broth.
I just read your article about bone broth today. In the article it mentioned using an Instant Pot to cook the broth for up to 40 hours. I would like to extend the cooking time for my bone broth using my Instant Pot to get the most benefit from the bones. Can you please explain how to do this with the Instant Pot?
