Some wellness trends come and go, but every so often something stands the test of time—and bone broth is one of them. You’ve probably seen it popping up everywhere lately, from wellness cafés to post-workout routines, and there’s good reason for it.
Bone broth isn’t new—it’s an ancient tradition that’s been used for centuries across cultures as a nourishing, healing food. And right now, it’s having a glow-up in the wellness space. Whether you’re coming back from a Pilates class, winding down after yoga, or just looking for something to soothe and restore, bone broth can be the gentle, grounding addition your body is asking for.
The Benefits of Bone Broth
1. Gut Health
Bone broth is rich in amino acids like glutamine that help support the lining of your gut. A stronger gut lining can mean better digestion, fewer energy dips, and more overall balance.
2. Joint & Bone Support
Thanks to its natural collagen and minerals, bone broth can support your joints and bones—making it especially supportive for anyone doing low-impact strength work like Pilates, barre, or yoga. Think of it as recovery from the inside out.
3. Skin & Hair Glow
Collagen doesn’t just benefit your joints. Many people notice improvements in skin elasticity, stronger nails, and shinier hair when bone broth becomes part of their weekly routine.
4. Nervous System Reset
There’s something deeply soothing about sipping a warm cup of broth. Beyond its nutrients, the ritual itself acts as a form of mindful nourishment—perfect for calming the nervous system after a stressful day or high-energy workout.
How to Enjoy It
The beauty of bone broth is in its simplicity. You can sip it straight from a mug (like you would tea or coffee) or use it as a base for soups, grains, or even morning oats for a savoury twist.
For post-workout recovery, pair it with a gentle stretch on your Onyx mat, or sip it while journaling after class. It’s a way to extend the ritual of your movement practice into what you nourish yourself with.
Making Bone Broth Part of Your Routine
-
Post-Pilates reset: Sip a cup to support recovery and reduce inflammation.
-
Evening wind-down: Swap your herbal tea for a warming broth before bed.
-
Meal upgrade: Cook quinoa, rice, or lentils in broth instead of water for extra flavour and nutrients.
If you’re not into cooking your own, there are plenty of great ready-made bone broth brands available now (look for ones with minimal additives and slow-cooked methods).
