How to Upgrade Your Brain & Body with The Most Nutrient Dense Foods on the Planet with James Barry Founder of ‘Pluck’
James Barry founder of ‘Pluck’, celebrity chef, best-selling author and expert on offal talks to Angela about why we are currently missing the benefits of ancestral foods and the impact it has on our health
He discusses the widely held misconceptions around organ meat and how they contain many nutrients and vitamins that can support your nutritional health and well being
This is a great opportunity to understand more about the role of organ meats, their nutrient density and why we should all learn to listen to our bodies and eat more intuitively
Key Takeaways
- People have a misconception that organ meat is where the toxins are stored but this is not true they are a filtration system
- Organ meats contain many nutrients and vitamins to support filtration in removing things
- If the detoxification pathways of your body are working well then toxins leave the body
- If toxins are stored it is mostly in the fat of the body
- Across the world, we are mostly calorie-rich and nutrient deficient
- Toxins are in the air, the water and in food so it’s vital your detoxification pathways are open and functioning efficiently
- The industry is focused on growing beef as fast as possible and achieving the heaviest weight for profit but the health of the animal equals the health of you
- You should use the product for finishing meals as any heat lowers the nutrient density
- Micro dosing frequently does work and is a way of adjusting your taste buds
- We are missing ancestral foods and Pluck is trying to bring these to diets in a modern way
- They are many things we can be empowered by and looking at what we are eating should always be the place we start
- When you remove processed foods from your diet your palate starts to change and you can taste things better
- We need to listen to our bodies more and eat more intuitively
Best Moments
‘It’s a great way of enhancing the nutrient density’
‘I classify organ meats as Mother Nature’s multi vitamin’
‘Umami, the fifth sense is a taste that enhances the flavour of everything else’
