One of the biggest questions Dr. Stacey gets about bone broth fasting is: “Won’t I be starving?”

For her, having bone broth throughout the day can feel very different from a water-only fast. Because you’re consuming some calories and nutrients, it may feel more satisfying and easier to stick with.

And if fasting leaves you feeling hungry in the evening, Dr. Stacey discusses another option: a small, protein-rich snack such as nuts and seeds, nut butter, chicken breast, or a protein smoothie.

So where does bone broth fit with intermittent fasting? 👀

Dr. Stacey explains how bone broth can be incorporated into a timed fasting approach - for example, using your usual eating window as your bone broth window while fasting outside of it.

As always, fasting isn’t appropriate for everyone. Your health history, medications, nutritional needs, and individual goals should be considered before changing your eating pattern.

Part 2: how Dr. Stacey actually does her bone broth fast. 🥣

There are plenty of ways to enjoy bone broth. You can keep it simple like Dr. Stacey does, or add lemon, lime, or your favourite spices to make it your own!

Her simple combination:
🥣 Bone broth
🍋 Lemon juice
💧 Hot water

When she does a bone broth fast, Dr. Stacey has about 4–6 cups throughout the day rather than doing consecutive bone broth fasting days. She follows it with a day of regular meals before considering another bone broth fast.

If you’re curious about trying bone broth fasting, remember that fasting isn’t appropriate for everyone. Your individual health, medications, nutritional needs, and goals all matter when deciding whether it’s right for you.

Bone broth fasting can be a gentler way to explore intermittent fasting. Especially if traditional water fasting feels like too much. 🤍

In Part 1, Dr. Stacey breaks down why bone broth can be a useful option:

🥣 Nutrient-rich - bone broth provides nutrients and protein while you’re easing into a fasting routine.
💧 Supports hydration + electrolytes - it can help provide fluids and electrolytes during the day.
✨ Contains gelatin - gelatin provides amino acids that are involved in collagen production and may support connective tissues.

Bone broth is also commonly used as part of a nourishing approach to gut, joint, and skin health.

And this is just Part 1…

In Part 2, Dr. Stacey will show you how to make bone broth and when she recommends having it during a fast. 👀

A new chapter in metabolic health is coming to SMRT Health. ✨

Dr. Stacey is officially a certified Fast Like a Girl coach, and she’s bringing what she’s learned into a guided 2-week Fat Burner Fasting Challenge this October.

Together, we’ll explore fasting strategies designed to help you understand:

→ How to support your body’s ability to use fat for fuel
→ Ways to better manage sugar and salt cravings
→ How food timing may influence hunger and energy
→ Strategies for quieting the constant thoughts about food
→ How to approach fasting in a structured, intentional way

This isn’t about simply eating less or pushing through hunger. It’s about learning why, when, and how fasting may fit into your metabolic health goals.

Throughout September, Dr. Stacey will also be sharing fasting tips and education to help you prepare.

Headaches can have more than one contributing factor, and for some people, irritated or sensitized nerves may play a role.

Perineural Injection Therapy (PIT) is a minimally invasive treatment that uses small injections near superficial nerves. The goal is to address irritation around these nerves and potentially help reduce pain signaling.

At SMRT Health, PIT may be considered for certain types of headaches, as well as other persistent or nerve-related pain concerns. Treatment is individualized based on your symptoms, history, and assessment. 💭

If headaches keep coming back, it may be worth exploring what could be contributing to them - rather than simply continuing to manage the symptoms. ✨
