    Why We're Microdosing Organ Meats (and Loving It) Season III Episode. 4 w/ James Barry

    In this episode of Primalhacker Radio, we sit down with James Barry, chef, bestselling author, and founder of Pluck, to talk about what modern diets are missing—and why so many people feel exhausted, inflamed, and undernourished despite eating “clean.”James breaks down the real reason we aren't losing weight and why we aren't getting the right nutrients, even though we eat healthy! Organ meats were foundational in ancestral diets, how mineral and micronutrient deficiencies quietly drive fatigue and poor recovery, and why convenience foods—even healthy ones—can leave the body depleted. We also dive into how Pluck makes nose to tail nutrition accessible for families, picky eaters, and anyone who wants better energy without complicated protocols.This conversation challenges modern nutrition myths and brings the focus back to nutrient density, simplicity, and feeding the body what it actually needs.Topics Covered:Cooking for Tom CruiseWhy clean eating isn’t enoughWhy Supplements create the wrong signals to the bodyReversing Type II diabetesWhy he didn't feed celebrities organ meatsThe 2 reasons why Pluck is better than eating organsSubscribe for more conversations on circadian health, real food, and primal living. We just dropped a brand new podcast episode we’re genuinely excited about. We sat down with celebrity chef James Barry, founder of Pluck, and the conversation was one of our favorites yet. James breaks down why organ meats matter and makes it refreshingly simple. Instead of forcing yourself to eat liver or swallow capsules you forget about, he teaches the idea of microdosing organ meats daily through seasoning!!! A little bit, consistently, added to the foods you already eat. That’s what Pluck does so beautifully. It blends freeze-dried organ meats with herbs and spices so you can sprinkle next-level nutrition onto eggs, steak, veggies, soups, bone broth, even mac and cheese. No weird taste. No texture issues. Kid-approved. Lifestyle-friendly. If you’ve been curious about organ meats but felt overwhelmed, this episode flips the script. It’s about nourishment, not perfection. As a thank you to our community, you can try Pluck with 15% off using our code: DREAM15 We use it daily in our own kitchen and love how effortless it makes ancestral nutrition.

    What's Red Light Got to Do With It? Ep 8 w/ Andrew Latour

    Since early 2018, GembaRed LLC has been one of the most trusted red light therapy panel companies on the market. Our products are competitively priced because we focus on simple devices that deliver the right wavelengths and intensity. GembaRed has gained fame with our no-nonsense approach, transparent advertising backed by 3rd party testing, exhaustive scientific blogs and content, and being one of the first companies to focus on low-EMF and low flicker safety. Andrew LaTour is the founder and owner of GembaRed LLC. He is an experienced chemical and materials engineer with lean Six-Sigma training. Andrew learned about biohacking in 2015. At the time he was obese, pre-diabetic, and had chronic sinus issues. He embraced a biohacking methodology for the same reason that many people do, he was sick and tired of being sick and tired! Over the past years he has revolutionized his health, regained his energy, and improving his immune system. Always seeking and researching new health upgrades, Andrew was stumped by the light therapy industry. How could it be that the same things that are ubiquitous to our everyday lives (LED lights), suddenly cost so much money? It is GembaRed's vision that Red and Near Infrared devices are a common household item, used as often as we use a toothbrush.
