EP276: Organ Meats: The Forgotten Superfood with Ashleigh VanHouten

Did you know that the most nutrient-dense foods in the world are not plants? 

Despite what you may have heard, organ meats are gram-for-gram the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. 

Which is likely why, whenever I eat them, my energy levels go through the roof!

And given that most of us are deficient in at least one nutrient today (according to the USDA), organ meats are one of the most important things you can eat to ensure all of your nutrient bases are covered. 

The only problem? 

Most people are grossed out by the thought of eating organs or do not like the taste. 

Thankfully, there are ways to benefit from organ meats even if you do not like the taste, which is what today’s fun podcast with author, speaker, health coach, and self-proclaimed muscle nerd, Ashleigh VanHouten is all about! Here’s what you’ll learn when you listen…

• How to get the benefits of organs without the taste
