Everything that we put in, or on, our bodies has an impact on our physiological and mental state.

Bone Broth has been around for centuries. It is a healing elixir that restores vital amino acids and helps to rebuild gut health. It aids in sleep, digestion, weight loss and it helps to promote healthy skin, hair, nails.

“Food is more than what you find on your plate. Healthy relationships, regular physical activity, a fulfilling career and a spiritual practice can fill your soul and satisfy your hunger for life. When primary food is balanced and satiated, your life feeds you, making what you eat secondary.”– Joshua Rosenthal, IIN
