274: From healing autism and autoimmune diseases with bone broth to the sneaky, sad truth about what it actually takes to get on grocery store shelves (spoiler: brands have to pay for shelf space—and they’re often required to go on sale multiple times a year, which eats into their margins), this episode is packed with eye-opening insights. We get into the GAPS diet—what it is and how it works—the realities of USDA regulations, and the little-known details about Prop 65: including how some brands voluntarily put that scary warning on their packaging even when their test results are well below Prop 65 lead levels. My dear friend and sister in Christ, Sharon Brown, founder of Bonafide Provisions, shares her powerful story of helping to heal her son with bone broth, and how that journey led her to create the first company to bring real, traditionally-made bone broth to the market. Plus, we talk about sneaky ingredients in many bone broth products and what to watch out for.
