elAll human sex hormones are derived from cholesterol. Our body makes about 80% on its own, but the other 20% has to come from food. And the best sources? Ancestral fats like eggs, butter, and the star of today’s recipe: bone marrow.

Without that dietary cholesterol, your hormones don’t stand a chance. No cholesterol = no testosterone, no estrogen, no progesterone. Forget “hormone balancing” teas and supplements,  your endocrine system is built on animal fats. Get that foundation right and your body knows what to do. Marrow isn’t just rich, creamy, and delicious, it’s one of the most nourishing foods you can eat.

• Vitamins A, D, E & K2 to support hormones, skin and immunity
• Collagen-building fats for joints and elasticity
• Glycine for detoxification, wound healing and deep, restorative sleep

Turn it into ice cream and you’ve got the ultimate dessert with benefits. Proof that the foods our ancestors prized most can still be indulgent, modern, and seriously enjoyable.
