Think organ meats aren’t for you? Think again. Chef James Barry joins Dr. Jen to explain how to sneak nutrient-dense organ meats into your meals—even if you're squeamish.
In this episode of The Integrative Health Podcast, I’m joined by Chef James Barry—creator of Pluck, a delicious organ-based seasoning blend—for a conversation that might totally change the way you look at nutrition.
I know what you’re thinking: “Organ meats? No thanks!” But here’s the deal—organs like liver, heart, and kidney are incredibly nutrient-dense and were staples in ancestral diets for good reason. The problem? Most of us in the modern Western world have lost touch with them—and are missing out on nature’s original multivitamin.
James shares why organ meats were so important to human evolution, how we’ve gotten away from eating nose-to-tail, and (my favorite part!) super simple ways to get them into your meals without the taste or texture battles.
✨ Yes, even your picky kids can enjoy them—my own kids love Pluck on popcorn and salad, and they have no idea what’s in it!
James Barry is a professional chef with 20+ years of experience, including cooking for celebrities. He’s the founder of Pluck, an organ-based superfood seasoning that helps people enjoy the benefits of organ meats without the fuss. He’s also the host of the podcast Everyday Ancestral and a passionate advocate for nose-to-tail eating. Learn more and get recipes at https://eatpluck.com.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
