Why Strict diets don't work long term and what does?

This week on the podcast we’re talking about strict diets and why they don’t work.

I share instead what we can focus on when it comes to nutrition for long-term health and longevity.

Want to know more?

Listen in!

 

Paleo Valley Grass Fed Organ Meats Supplement info for show notes:

Today, I’d like to share with you an interesting piece of trivia I learned recently. It’s about our hunter-gatherer ancestors and what they ate.

Do you know what they considered to be their prized delicacy?

Organs meats. Raw organ meats.

Gross, I know. But they valued organs because of how they made them feel. More energy, improved stamina, increased strength –  who wouldn’t want that? Thanks to decades of research, we now know that organ meat is among the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.

If you’re anything like me, however, you’re not just going to sauté up some liver and kidneys for dinner. There’s the less-than-appetizing taste, the equally offensive smell, the hassle in cooking, etc.

That’s why I was so excited to discover the Paleovalley Grass Fed Organ Complex. While most supplements offer just liver, this Organ Complex includes all 3 of the richest organs available:

• Liver
• Heart
• Kidney
•  

They’re sourced from 100% grass fed cows that never receive antibiotics, steroids, or hormones.

Here’s just a quick peek at what you get when you consume grass fed beef organs:

• The richest, most natural source of vitamin B12 in the world 
• The concentrated supernutrient, CoQ10
• Vitamins A, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9  
• Minerals: Zinc, iron, copper, phosphorus, selenium
• Omega-3 fatty acids EPA & DHA
• Antioxidants
• And so much more!

 

I know you’re thinking “There are dozens of organ supplements out there. How’s this one any different?” Glad you asked!

Similar supplements are preserved and ruined by spray drying the organs at high temperatures. Extreme heat kills the proteins, rendering the nutrients completely useless. Paleovalley gently freeze dries the organs, preserving virtually every nutrient in the process.

Plus, this Grass Fed Organ Complex also:

• Contains no fillers or flow agents 
• Flavor-free (no nasty burps or reflux!)
• No gluten, grain, soy or dairy
• Non-GMO

 

Oh, and one more thing!

Liver in particular is famous for its “anti-fatigue factor.” It’s used worldwide by athletes & everyday individuals as a natural, long-lasting energy boost. Who wouldn’t love some extra (all-natural!) energy?

To enjoy all these benefits and more, hop over the Paleovalley website & order a bottle. You’ll be singing its praises, too! Keep in mind you have a full 60 days to get your money back if you don’t like it!

Best,

Kate

P.S. You scrolled to the bottom again didn’t you? I guess I forgive you. :-) Go check out Paleovalley’s Grass FedOrganComplex and see for yourself why I’m so crazy about it!

She grew up on a farm in Southern England which gave her a great love for nature and the outdoor life and on top of that her mother was a professional chef who allowed her from a very young age to help and watch her in the kitchen. This was the beginning of her love for food. She has travelled extensively and lived in different parts of the world. This has given her the opportunity to experience different cultures, cuisines and lifestyles.

 

Having had a career in the health and beauty industry for over 30 years, she was always amazed to see how simple lifestyle and nutritional changes could improve not only women’s health and well-being but also their happiness. Throughout her career journey, her underlying passion has always been about improving midlife women’s health using the power of nutrition, lifestyle modifications and mindset. It gives her great pleasure to help midlife women overcome their health issues so that they can look and feel amazing. She truly believes that with good nutritious food, a positive mindset and health promoting lifestyle choices the body can heal itself and age healthily. Her aim is to focus on positive nutrition - it's not about restriction, it's about what we can include in our diet for maximum health.

 

She combines her understanding, enthusiasm and passion with her love of food to help people become the best versions of themselves.

 

When she’s not at work she enjoys spending time with her family, cooking, being in the kitchen and experimenting with new recipe ideas.She is also a keen scuba diver, golfer, hiker, beekeeper and enjoy being in the great outdoors.

 

She is British but is living in Sweden at the moment.
