Hey, it's Nadia here! 💚
If you know me, you know that everything I do at Drink Juice Co. comes from personal experience. I don’t sell products just for the sake of it—I share what has genuinely changed my life and transformed the health of thousands of people I’ve worked with.
And today, I want to talk about one of the biggest game-changers in my cleansing journey: combining fresh-pressed juice with bone broth.
Because if you’ve ever felt lightheaded, ungrounded, or just “off” during a juice cleanse, this might be exactly what’s missing.
Why I Started Cleansing in the First Place
If we haven’t met yet, let me take you back to my story.
I grew up really sick—like, constantly in and out of doctors’ offices, hospitals, and specialist appointments, but no one had answers. It wasn’t until I met a naturopath at 19 that everything changed.
He put me on a nutritional protocol for three months, and within just a few weeks, I felt like a different person. For the first time, I wasn’t just trying to fix my acne or my stomach pain—I realized how normal I had made feeling awful. And I knew I never wanted to go back.
That experience sparked my passion for holistic nutrition, gut health, and the life-changing power of food as medicine. I started my first digestive health clinic, then Drink Juice Co., and now, nearly a decade later, I still live by the same philosophy: heal the gut, heal the body.
And that’s exactly why juicing and bone broth work so well together.
The Magic Duo That Changed Everything
When I first created my juice cleanses, the focus was simple: flood the body with easily absorbable nutrients to give your digestive system the break it desperately needs. The results were amazing, but I noticed something was missing for some people.
Some clients would describe feeling "in the clouds" or ungrounded during their cleanse. Others found it challenging to complete, especially in colder months. That's when inspiration struck—what if we combined the revitalizing power of cold-pressed juices with the grounding, nourishing qualities of bone broth?
The results were absolutely magical! This combination created the PERFECT balance:
The juices provide:
- That immediate nutrient infusion straight to your bloodstream
- A much-needed break for your digestive system
- Alkalizing compounds that reduce inflammation
- A flood of enzymes, vitamins, and minerals
While the bone broth delivers:
- Deep, nourishing warmth that keeps you centered and grounded
- Essential amino acids and collagen that support healing
- Gut-mending compounds that repair while you rest
- That satisfying feeling that helps you stick with your cleanse
Together, they create an experience that's not just endurable—it's genuinely enjoyable! I've had so many clients tell me, "Nadia, I've tried cleansing before and could never finish, but adding the bone broth made it possible for the first time!"
Why This Combination Works Wonders for Your Body
I'm always researching and learning about nutrition, and the science behind this combination is fascinating. When we drink cold-pressed juices, we're giving our bodies a direct infusion of nutrients without the digestive work. This gives your system a chance to rest and reset.
But here's what many cleanse programs miss: our bodies also need certain proteins and minerals to help process and use all those amazing nutrients in the juices! That's exactly what bone broth provides.
Think of it this way—the juices are like sending in a cleanup crew to detoxify and refresh your cells, while the bone broth provides the building materials needed for repair and regeneration. Together, they create a complete healing environment.
One client with severe digestive issues told me: "For years, I tried juice cleanses and they always left me feeling worse. Adding your bone broth completely changed the experience—I actually felt nourished and balanced instead of depleted."
This is exactly why I'm so passionate about this approach. It works WITH your body instead of pushing it to extremes.
My Personal Cleanse Ritual (Exactly What I Do)
After years of experimenting (I'm always my first test subject!), I've perfected my cleanse routine that incorporates both elements. Here's exactly what I do:
Morning Ritual:
- I start my day with warm lemon water as soon as I wake up—this gently activates digestion
- After about 30 minutes, I have my first green juice (usually my celery-based "I'm Celery and I Know It")
- I keep hydrating with mineral water between juices—hydration is ABSOLUTELY KEY during a cleanse
Mid-Morning:
- Around 10:30, I have my first bone broth of the day (usually our Roasted Beef Bone Broth)
- The warmth and protein content keeps me feeling grounded and focused for the morning
Afternoon Boost:
- For lunch, I enjoy a juice with a bit more sweetness to maintain energy (I love our "IGingerX" with carrot, ginger, and lemon)
- If I feel any hunger, I don't wait—I'll have some more broth right away
- More mineral water throughout the afternoon helps flush toxins
Evening Wind-Down:
- Another green juice in the early evening, usually our "Sweet Greens"
- I end my day with a comforting cup of Bon Sip bone broth about an hour before bed
- This helps me sleep SO much better—the glycine in bone broth is actually known to improve sleep quality!
The absolute SECRET to a successful cleanse is never letting yourself get hungry. The second you feel even slightly hungry, have more juice or broth! This completely transforms the cleanse experience.
Bon Sip: Born From a Passion for Healing
I'm incredibly excited to share Bon Sip bone broths with you—a labor of love I created with three amazing women who share my passion for health and healing.
The Bon Sip story began during a dinner party when we realized we shared three major things: vision, drive, and a desire to help more people experience true wellness. As one of my partners remembers, "We were sitting there saying, 'What are we going to do with our lives now?' We knew we had to talk to Nadia because her juices are amazing, and we wanted to expand on that."
Initially, we thought about creating a pop-up shop for my juices, but I immediately knew what we needed to do: "No, we're doing bone broth!" And they all enthusiastically agreed, recognizing the incredible healing potential.
What makes Bon Sip special? These aren't your average grocery store broths in a box. Each variety is:
- Slow-simmered for optimal nutrient extraction – We take our time, allowing all those healing compounds to infuse properly
- Made with only the highest quality bones – We use grass-fed beef and free-run Mennonite chickens that are both hormone and antibiotic-free
- Enhanced with specific healing herbs – I've carefully selected herbs for each broth based on their specific healing properties
- Crafted to support different health needs – Each formula addresses specific wellness goals
People tell us all the time: "Your broth is different—I've tried others and they don't taste like this. Yours is so much more wholesome, comforting, and flavorful!" That's because we put so much care into every ingredient and step of the process.
You can choose from three amazing varieties:
Roasted Beef Bone Broth – This is my personal favorite for deep nourishment. The collagen from grass-fed beef bones supports healthy hair, skin, and nails while reducing inflammation. We enhance it with organic ginger, fennel seeds, and a proprietary blend of herbs that support overall vitality.
Chicken FODMAP Bone Broth – I created this specifically for those with sensitive digestive systems. Made with free-run Mennonite chicken bones and carefully selected FODMAP-friendly ingredients, it's gentle on the gut while still delivering powerful nutrition. It's incredible for managing IBS symptoms and supporting digestive healing.
Turmeric Mushroom Vegan Broth – Yes! Even plant-based cleansers can experience the magic. This mineral-rich mushroom broth features organic shiitake, oyster, porcini, reishi, maitake, and chaga mushrooms, infused with anti-inflammatory turmeric and healing herbs. It delivers all the grounding benefits without any animal products.
I personally sip on these throughout my day, even when I'm not cleansing. That warm cup of broth in the afternoon keeps me from reaching for coffee or snacks when my energy dips, and has become an essential part of my daily wellness routine.
Who Benefits Most From This Approach?
After years of helping thousands improve their health, I've found this balanced cleanse approach works wonders for:
First-time cleansers – If you've been intimidated by cleansing, this gentler approach provides a perfect entry point without feeling deprived.
Busy professionals who can't afford brain fog – The sustained energy from bone broth means you can cleanse without sacrificing mental clarity. One client told me, "I could actually function in my meetings instead of spacing out like with other cleanses!"
Anyone with digestive issues – The combination is particularly healing for those with gut concerns. The juices provide nutrients while the broth offers soothing, healing compounds for the intestinal lining.
Those who've tried cleansing but couldn't complete it – The satisfying element of broth makes all the difference in completion rates. I've seen this time and again with clients who previously "failed" at cleansing.
People cleansing during colder months – When it's chilly outside, your body naturally craves warmth. Bone broth satisfies that craving while supporting the cleansing process.
Women balancing hormones – The minerals and amino acids in bone broth help support hormone balance during the cleanse process. Many female clients report improved hormone-related symptoms after this combined approach.
Anyone looking to establish sustainable health habits – Learning to incorporate both juices and broths creates a foundation for ongoing wellness that extends far beyond the cleanse days.
Beyond The Cleanse: Creating Lasting Vibrancy
What truly excites me about this approach is that it's not just about those cleanse days—it creates a foundation for vibrant, ongoing health!
Many of my clients continue to start their day with a green juice and enjoy a cup of bone broth in the afternoon, even after their cleanse ends. These simple habits help maintain that "just cleansed" feeling without any restriction.
As one client beautifully shared: "The juice and broth combination taught me how to listen to my body in a whole new way. Now I know exactly what I need when I'm feeling off—sometimes it's a green juice, sometimes it's bone broth, and that awareness has changed everything."
I personally keep Bon Sip broths in my fridge at all times. When I feel a dip in my energy, when my digestion needs support, or when I just need something comforting but nourishing, it's my first go-to. It's become such an essential part of my daily routine that I genuinely can't imagine life without it!
Some clients even use bone broth as their secret weapon against unhealthy cravings. One woman told me, "Whenever I used to crave junk food in the afternoon, I'd have a cup of your bone broth instead, and the craving completely disappeared! It's like my body was just asking for real nourishment."
Ready To Transform Your Cleanse Experience?
If you've been thinking about trying a cleanse—or if previous attempts left you hungry, miserable, and quitting early—I'd absolutely LOVE for you to experience the game-changing addition of bone broth.
Remember, cleansing isn't about suffering or deprivation—it's about flooding your body with exactly what it needs to thrive, while giving your digestive system a well-deserved break. The juice-and-broth approach honors this philosophy perfectly, creating a cleanse experience that feels nourishing and sustainable.
And if you're not ready for a full cleanse? Just incorporating either fresh juice or quality bone broth into your daily routine can make a world of difference. Start small, listen to your body, and build from there. Health is a journey, not a destination, and every small step is worth celebrating!
I truly believe this approach to cleansing represents the perfect balance—combining the best of traditional wisdom with modern nutritional science to create something that's both incredibly effective and genuinely enjoyable.
To your health, healing, and happiness!
