New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!

– How I Eat The Majority Of My Organ Meats On A Largely Carnivore Diet

If you listened to my podcast episode with Dr. Paul Saladino, then you know one of the biggest weakness of a carnivore diet in terms of nutritional deficiency is the absence of a “nose-to-tail” approach that includes a variety of organ meats. But let's face it: many of us don't have ample amounts of liver chunks lying around the house or a relationship with a local butcher who will hook us up. Me (and my twin boys) eat plenty of organ meats (they have theirs scrambled with eggs, me fried up on a cast-iron skillet) by consuming the mouth-watering sausages from USWellnessMeats. You'll swear you're eating sausage and bacon, not liver, tongue, heart, and beyond.

My two items of choice that I regularly order are their “braunschweiger” and “head cheese”. The braunschweiger is a 60/40 mix of grass-fed trim and grass-fed beef liver. It comes in a fully cooked, one pound package and is ready to slice and serve. The headcheese is a mix of grass-fed beef heart (15%), tongue (15%), and trim (70%) with a robust, smooth flavor. Both are totally free of soy, sweetener, dairy, MSG, additives, binders, and preservatives. Throw a few of their bone-in French cut ribeye steaks into the mix and you're golden. Bon appétit!

– Book That's Inspiring Me To Make More Sh*t With My Hands

Made by Hand: Searching for Meaning in a Throwaway World: I'm pretty dang handy at things like writing, music, and art, but haven't ever really been much of a craftsman (e.g. repairing my own car, building furniture, carving/woodwork, etc.). Lately, among other things, I've been wanting to convert my diesel truck to vegetable oil, build a tree fort with my kids, and help my wife finish her garage “Glamper” project and gardening.

The book “Made by Hand: Searching for Meaning in a Throwaway World” has been incredibly inspirational for me to meet our basic human desire to invent and improve, long suppressed by the availability of cheap, mass-produced products that have drowned us in bland convenience and cultivated our most wasteful habits. The author spent a year trying a variety of offbeat projects such as keeping chickens and bees, tricking out his espresso machine, whittling wooden spoons, making guitars out of cigar boxes, and doing citizen science with his daughters in the garage.

His whole family found that DIY helped them take control of their lives, offering a path that was simple, direct, and clear. Working with their hands and minds helped them feel more engaged with the world around them. He also reveals how DIY is changing our culture for the better and profiles fascinating “alpha makers” leading various DIY movements and grills them for their best tips and insights. This is a super fun read. Get it here.

Featured Product: Kion Clean Energy Bar

As a busy CEO, coach, professional athlete, international speaker, and top 100 podcast host—I needed a bar that would meet the intense demands of my lifestyle, while also satisfying my strict nutrition and purity requirements. I’m happy to say, THIS IS IT.

After years of habitually eating low-quality protein bars, I started having elevated blood sugar, gut rot, energy swings and toxins present in my blood tests. So I wanted to do something better.  I wanted to learn how can a bar provide adequate amino acids for recovery without spiking insulin and glucose, or creating mTor and longevity issues from excess protein intake?

You're about to discover exactly how I did it. Meet the Kion Clean Energy Bar.
