606. Back to the Basics: Simplifying Your Eating Plan to Eliminate Overwhelm and the Importance of Adding Organ Meats
Episode Description
Have we overcomplicated health so much that we’ve forgotten what it actually means to nourish our bodies?
In this episode, I sit down with celebrity chef and Pluck founder, James Barry, to have a real conversation about what’s happened in the health world over the last decade. We talk about how we drifted from ancestral principles and whole, real food into biohacking gadgets, GLP-1 trends, expensive supplements, and endless noise. James brings us back to the foundations: sleep, movement, stress, and most importantly, food that your body actually recognizes. We unpack the idea that you cannot escape your humanity, that the Homo sapien body hasn’t changed in hundreds of thousands of years, and that maybe the problem isn’t that we need more hacks. Maybe we need more reverence.
We also dive deep into organ meats, nutrient density, and why flavor used to equal nutrition!
What you’ll learn:
-
Why you truly cannot out-supplement or out-biohack poor foundations
-
The ancestral principle that quietly governs appetite, satisfaction, and weight
-
What modern processed foods are doing to your internal signaling system
-
The overlooked reason organ meats were once considered sacred
-
Why thinking about vitamins may be keeping you disconnected from your body
-
The simple shift that makes digestion, satiety, and clarity easier
I want you to take one small step today: Choose one meal where you slow down, remove distractions, and eat real food that your body recognizes. Then share this episode with someone who feels overwhelmed by all the health noise right now. The more we simplify, the more we rise. And as always, if this conversation spoke to you, leave a review and let me know what hit home.
