What if the foods you’ve been avoiding are exactly what your bones need?
One of the best-kept secrets for energy, longevity, and strong bones has been a staple in traditional diets, yet most people today turn their noses up at it.
Somewhere along the way, we lost touch with the nutrient-rich foods that sustained our ancestors. Instead, we’ve embraced modern diets that often leave us depleted and searching for supplements to fill the gaps.
I sat down with James Barry, celebrity chef and founder of Pluck, to reveal why organ meats are packed with the essential nutrients your body craves. We clear up the misconceptions, unpack the science, and share easy ways to add them to your meals (without the ick factor).
If you’re looking for a simple, natural way to support your health, this episode is for you. Tune in now!
