Organ Meats—The Omnivore’s Multivitamin? | Liver, Iron Overload, and the Truth About Ancestral Diets | Ep. 404

Are organ meats truly nature’s multivitamin—or just another nutrition trend making a comeback?In this episode of Dr. Jeff Armstrong and Corbin Bruton explore the science behind organ meats, ancestral eating patterns, and the ongoing debate between plant-based and animal-based diets. From the nutrient density of liver to the risks of iron overload, they unpack what the research says about how humans should eat for long-term health.You’ll learn how organ meats compare to modern dietary patterns like the Mediterranean and Standard American Diet, why balance between minerals like iron, copper, and magnesium matters, and whether extreme diets—like carnivore or strictly plant-based—miss the mark.If you’ve ever wondered whether you should be eating liver… or avoiding it altogether—this episode will give you a grounded, science-based perspective.Referenced episodes:Minerals Metabolism & Mitochondria: What Morley Robbins Wants You to Know About Aging Well | Ep. 306 Iron, Copper, and the Mitochondria: Morley Robbins Answers Your Questions on Aging Well | Bonus EpisodeSkin Aging and Glutathione w/ Dr. Nayan Patel | Episode 190Close the Gap in Aging: Glutathione and Copper for Healthy, Youthful Skin, and Aging Well | Dr. Nayan Patel | Ep. 329Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like’ button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!
