TWV Podcast Episode 475: Can I Be Nutrivore If I Don’t Eat Organ Meat?

On this episode of The Whole View, Stacy and I discuss how to be a Nutrivore if you are not sold on organ meats. Being a nutrivore is about the overall quality of the whole diet and not about a list of yes-foods and no-foods. That means that the more we can fill our plates with a variety of vegetables, rounded out with quality animal foods, the higher the nutritive quality of our overall diet.

I have created a new nutrient profiling method known as the Nutrivore Score, which helps us to understand the nutrients per calorie offered by individual foods. Organ meat is among the most compelling foods nutritionally available to us, with an average Nutrivore Score of 1986. Organ meats offer way more nutrients per serving than any other food. So, per serving, you’re getting about 2-3 times more nutrients than even the most nutrient-dense veggies such as crucifers, leafy greens, mushrooms, and herbs. Plus, organ meat is an excellent source of protein, iron, phosphorus, zinc, selenium, vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B7, B9, B12, CoQ10, anserine, carnosine, creatine, taurine, carnitine, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).

The next most nutrient dense animal food is shellfish, with an average Nutrivore Score of 1061. So, yes you can be nutrivore without eating organ meat! However, it will necessitate eating quite a bit of fish and shellfish to make up for it. Listen to this podcast to find out some unique ways to integrate organ meats into your every day diet, and some of the top quality organ meat complexes that we recommend for those that can’t seem to eat enough organ meat in their daily lives.
