This episode is brought to you by [**Optimal Carnivore**](https://amzn.to/2sCLB4L). Do you struggle to eat organ meat?

Optimal Carnivore was created by Carnivores for Carnivores.

They created a unique organ complex from grass-fed animals in New Zealand. It includes 9 different organs -  Liver, Brain, Heart, Thymus, Kidney, Spleen, Pancreas, Lung etc. 

Taking 6 capsules is the same as eating an ounce of raw organ meat from the butcher.
