Green Living with Tee Thomas Odermatt: How Bone Broth Supports Gut Health, Recovery, and Everyday Wellness
This week, Tee speaks with chef and entrepreneur Thomas Odermatt about the health benefits and culinary tradition behind bone broth. Raised in his family's award-winning butcher shop in San Gottardo, Switzerland, Thomas developed a deep respect for artisanal butchery, rotisserie cooking, and a nose-to-tail approach to food.
After earning a master's degree in organic farming in Zürich, Thomas moved to the United States to study at UC Berkeley, where he was influenced by the Bay Area's evolving gourmet food scene. In 2002, his pursuit of the perfect rotisserie chicken led to the creation of Roli Roti, America's first gourmet rotisserie food truck.
As the business grew, Thomas's commitment to sustainability inspired the launch of Butcher's Bone Broth, an organic, slow-simmered product rooted in quality, flavor, and responsible food practices. Today, the broth is available in over 10,000 stores nationwide, including Costco, Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, and Publix.
In this episode, Tee and Chef Thomas discuss the benefits of bone broth for gut, skin, and joint health, share tips for making it at home, and explore the importance of reducing food waste through mindful cooking.
