James Barry's gift and link:

Pluck is a one-of-a-kind organ-based seasoning that makes eating nutrient-dense foods easy and delicious. It's made from 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef organs—like liver, heart, kidney, spleen, and pancreas—blended with organic herbs and spices. The best part? It doesn't taste like organ meat. You just sprinkle it on your food—like salt or pepper—and instantly boost the flavor and nutrition of any meal. It's perfect for busy parents, health enthusiasts, or anyone looking to eat better without overhauling their diet. Find Pluck Superfood Seasoning here: https://eatpluck.com/?ref=JANEHOGAN

*****

Hi there! I am Jane Hogan, the Wellness Engineer, and the host of Wellness By Design. I spent 30 years designing foundations for buildings until the pain and inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis led me to hang up my hard hat and follow my heart. Now I blend my backgrounds in science and spirituality to teach people how to tap into the power of their mind, body and soul. I help them release pain naturally so they can become the best version of themselves. 

 

Wellness By Design is a show dedicated to helping people achieve wellness not by reacting to the world around them but by intentionally designing a life based on what their own body needs. In this show we explore practices, methods and science that contribute to releasing pain and inflammation naturally.
