If you’ve tried every supplement, cleaned up your diet, and still can’t shake that mental fog or fatigue, this episode might change everything. The answer isn’t another pill. It’s a nutrient-dense food your great-grandparents ate regularly, but that somehow got lost along the way.
In this episode, James Barry, a celebrity chef with 20+ years of culinary experience cooking for clients like Tom Cruise and Barbara Streisand, reveals why organ meats are Mother Nature’s original multivitamin and how you can get them into your diet without the taste or intimidation factor.
Listen now and start eating nature’s multivitamins today!
James breaks down the biggest hurdles keeping people from consuming organ meats (taste, cooking knowledge, and sourcing) and offers a surprisingly simple solution. You’ll also learn why lions go for the organs first, what your liver actually does with toxins, and why your ancestors would never have dreamed of eating only the rib eye.
Each organ contains the specific nutrients it needs to do its job, making them far more nutrient-dense than muscle meat. For example, the heart contains CoQ10, the liver is rich in iron and vitamin A, and the spleen has five times more iron than the liver. These vitamins are already paired with other necessary vitamins as nature intended, unlike isolated supplements that often fail to absorb properly.
People who incorporate organ meats consistently report clearer thinking, more energy, and improved skin. The nutrients that science has identified as essential for brain function and vitality (B vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and K2) are all found in organ meats in their most bioavailable form.
Many people avoid liver, thinking it stores toxins like a filter, but this misunderstands its function. The liver’s job is to convert toxins into water-soluble compounds that leave through elimination, not to store them. If it couldn’t detoxify effectively, we wouldn’t survive. In fact, when impossible to excrete, toxins are actually stored in fat, not organs.
Be mindful that rather than eating large portions occasionally, small daily amounts of organ meats create a cumulative effect over time. This ancestral approach mirrors how our ancestors actually ate (a little bit shared among the tribe) and avoids overwhelming your system while delivering consistent nutritional support.
