• Can Pilates be a form of strength training?
    May 14 2024

    Can Pilates be a form of strength training?

    This week on the podcast we’re talking about whether or not Pilates is a form of strength training.

    Listen in to hear how you can ensure it can be counted as part of your strength training and yes, you can do it at home too!

    Today, I’d like to share with you an interesting piece of trivia I learned recently. It’s about our hunter-gatherer ancestors and what they ate.

    Do you know what they considered to be their prized delicacy?

    Organs meats. Raw organ meats.

    Gross, I know. But they valued organs because of how they made them feel. More energy, improved stamina, increased strength – who wouldn’t want that? Thanks to decades of research, we now know that organ meat is among the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.

    If you’re anything like me, however, you’re not just going to sauté up some liver and kidneys for dinner. There’s the less-than-appetizing taste, the equally offensive smell, the hassle in cooking, etc.

    That’s why I was so excited to discover the Paleovalley Grass Fed Organ Complex. While most supplements offer just liver, this Organ Complex includes all 3 of the richest organs available:

    • Liver
    • Heart
    • Kidney

    They’re sourced from 100% grass fed cows that never receive antibiotics, steroids, or hormones.

    Here’s just a quick peek at what you get when you consume grass fed beef organs:

    • The richest, most natural source of vitamin B12 in the world
    • The concentrated supernutrient, CoQ10
    • Vitamins A, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9
    • Minerals: Zinc, iron, copper, phosphorus, selenium
    • Omega-3 fatty acids EPA & DHA
    • Antioxidants
    • And so much more!

    I know you’re thinking “There are dozens of organ supplements out there. How’s this one any different?” Glad you asked!

    Similar supplements are preserved and ruined by spray drying the organs at high temperatures. Extreme heat kills the proteins, rendering the nutrients completely useless. Paleovalley gently freeze dries the organs, preserving virtually every nutrient in the process.

    Plus, this Grass Fed Organ Complex also:

    • Contains no fillers or flow agents
    • Flavor-free (no nasty burps or reflux!)
    • No gluten, grain, soy or dairy
    • Non-GMO

    Oh, and one more thing!

    Liver in particular is famous for its “anti-fatigue factor.” It’s used worldwide by athletes & everyday individuals as a natural, long-lasting energy boost. Who wouldn’t love some extra (all-natural!) energy?

    To enjoy all these benefits and more, hop over the Paleovalley website & order a bottle. You’ll be singing its praises, too! Keep in mind you have a full 60 days to get your money back if you don’t like it!
