Real Food Medicine in the Making
This is what nutrient density looks like before it becomes liquid gold.
A tray of:
• Roasted beef bones
• Marrow bones
• Chicken feet (nature’s collagen powerhouse)
• Onion, leek & carrot
All heading into the slow cooker for 24–48 hours to extract:
Collagen
Gelatin
Minerals
Glycine
Glucosamine
Chondroitin
Immune-supportive compounds
This is ancestral nutrition done right, real food that heals joints, gut, skin, and the nervous system.
Forget processed supplements. This is medicine your great-grandparents understood.
Slow-cooked. Mineral-rich. Fully bioavailable.
Your body knows exactly what to do with it.
Bone broth isn’t a trend.
It’s the foundation of metabolic repair, connective tissue healing, and resilient health.

Is anyone else concerned by this trend?
We’re now seeing posts encouraging people to take a medication, not after an assessment, not after a medical consultation, not because an individual needs it, but because they’ll be entered into a prize draw if they simply provide “proof” that they took it.
No examination.
No medical reasoning.
No understanding of their history.
Just: “Take this, send a photo, win a prize.”
This isn’t healthcare.
This is marketing disguised as medicine.
Medications, any medication, should be prescribed or recommended based on:
• individual health status
• medical need
• risk–benefit assessment
• informed consent
• proper clinical oversight
When we replace medical judgment with incentives, we cross a dangerous line. We also undermine trust in healthcare itself.
This isn’t about being “for” or “against” any particular drug.
It’s about protecting the integrity of medical decision-making.
If people are being encouraged to take something just to qualify for a reward, without proper evaluation or medical justification, we should all be asking serious questions.
Healthcare should never be reduced to a contest.

Episode 6 of The Integrative Continuum is now live!
In this episode, I sit down with Clive Digby-Jones, co-creator of RAPSI® (The Ravenscroft Approach to Psycho-Spiritual Integration), to explore one of the most overlooked aspects of healing: the underlying energy and fragmentation behind chronic patterns.
We talk about:
• How early experiences, trauma, and “missing pieces” shape physiology and emotion
• Why conventional therapy often improves symptoms but doesn’t reach proper integration
• RAPSI’s 5-stage process for bringing fragmented parts back into wholeness
• Real case examples of emotional and physical transformation
• How practitioners can work more deeply with the energy behind the story
This is one of the most unique and transformative conversations so far, especially for clinicians, therapists, and anyone on their own healing path.
Listen now on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms.

Tomorrow’s episode is a powerful one.
Clive Digby-Jones and I dive into what really drives fragmentation, emotional patterns, and those invisible blocks that keep people stuck.
If you work with people — or are a person — this one will open something up.
Releasing tomorrow.

“What’s for dinner at Doc Rock’s house?
Bone broth for gut lining and collagen support, fatty Rib eye steak for hormones and satiety, chicken liver pate for mineral support and fermented vegetables for microbiome balance.
Real food. Real function. That’s Functional Medicine on a plate.”
