It’s cold outside, and ’tis the season for a hearty broth! We talk to Kaayla Daniel, co-author of Nourishing Broths: An Old-Fashioned Remedy for a Modern World, who details the health benefits of slow-cooked bone-broths.

Dr. Daniel weighs in on ancestral diets according to guidelines set forth by the Weston A. Price Foundation; she’s a proponent of “nose-to-tail” consumption of grass-fed, humanely-raised animals. She advocates pasture-raised, unprocessed dairy products, but shares her reservations about over-dependence on soy protein. Click HERE for part 2.
