S08E14 - Transforming Health with Ancestral Nutrition with James Barry

I have used the word “impressive” more times than I could count when conversing with today’s guest, whose passion is to reconnect people to the wisdom of ancestral eating. For him, this work is deeply personal—it’s not just about creating a product, but about addressing the nutritional deficiencies that are at the root of so many modern health challenges. James Barry is on a mission to make organ meats, which are some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, accessible and enjoyable for everyone. He wants to break down the barriers of stigma and convenience that often keep people from embracing these powerful foods. He believes that merging traditional wisdom with modern convenience is the key to true wellness. Food is medicine, and by embracing nutrient-rich, whole foods, we can heal not just our bodies but also our connection to the planet and each other. His hope is to inspire listeners to see that small, intentional changes can have a profound impact on their health and vitality. It’s about making health accessible, sustainable, and, most importantly, enjoyable. James Barry’s 20 years in the culinary field started as a private chef cooking for celebrities such as Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Mariska Hargitay (of Law & Order:SVI fame), Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack. James is CEO & Founder of the organ-based, superfood seasoning, Pluck. It's the first of its kind and an amazingly easy and delicious way for people to get organ meats into their diet. James is also a published cookbook author having co-authored the recipes in Margaret Floyd’s book Eat Naked and Dr. Alejandro Junger’s book, Clean 7. He authored the cookbook The Naked Foods Cookbook. He is the host of the podcast, Everyday Ancestral.
