Expert discussions with Dr. Kellyann Petrucci

Kellyann Petrucci & Josh Axe: Do bone broth and collagen really heal the gut?
Bone broth and collagen are promoted here as a way to repair the gut lining, but the evidence for that specific claim is weak. The broader advice is more reasonable: manage stress, limit alcohol, eat a varied diet you tolerate, and cook vegetables if raw ones bother your gut. Both speakers sell the products they recommend, so the collagen and bone broth claims deserve caution. And an off-hand mention of people coming off medications is a real concern: never stop prescribed medicine based on a podcast.
