1oz Replaces Every Supplement in Your Cabinet (1x per week)

Key wellness strategies & takeaways (from the subtitles)

Use liver once per week for mitochondrial support

• About 30 g of liver can support more efficient mitochondrial function, which may improve:
  • Energy levels
  • Fat metabolism
  • Motivation / mental sharpness
• Fatigue is framed as possible “cell energy” underperformance (operating at ~60%).

Choose the right animal source depending on the goal

• Chicken liver (higher CoQ10)
  • Reported CoQ10 per 100 g:
    • Chicken liver ~11.6 mg
    • Beef liver ~3.9 mg
  • Suggested when mitochondrial energy / CoQ10 is the main priority.
• Beef liver (better retinol / vitamin A and some energy B vitamins)
  • Retinol support is associated with:
    • Night vision / vision
    • Drier skin as potential signs you may need more retinol
  • Conversion note:
    • Carrots’ beta-carotene conversion is described as low (~3–6%), while liver provides more direct retinol forms.

Prefer the “food matrix” over supplements when possible

• CoQ10 capsules can help, but the speaker suggests liver + cofactors may work more comprehensively because liver provides:
  • CoQ10
  • Iron
  • Other mitochondrial cofactors (e.g., B vitamins, copper)
• Suggested “hybrid” approach:
  • Take a CoQ10 supplement alongside beef liver to get cofactors + added CoQ10.

Consider iron from liver for energy, thermoregulation, and “brain fog”

• The speaker argues iron may be low at the cellular level even if blood tests appear normal.
• Claimed benefits include:
  • Improved energy production
  • Possible help with “foggy head”
  • Support for thermoregulation (e.g., cold hands/feet)
• Bioavailability points:
  • Heme iron from liver is described as ~15–35% absorbed
  • Supplements are described as ~2–20% absorbed
  • Heme iron is presented as less “competing” with minerals such as calcium, zinc, and phytates

Use liver carefully (frequency and vitamin D/calcium balance)

• Avoid daily liver due to excess retinol, which may:
  • Displace vitamin D at shared receptors
  • Reduce calcium absorption
  • Increase risk to bone density
• Practical guidance:
  • Once (or up to twice) per week is described as the safest/most effective range
  • If using vitamin D supplements, take them on non-liver days

Address methylation / folate needs with liver vs synthetic folic acid

• The speaker argues many people have slower conversion of synthetic folic acid due to MTHFR variants, which may lead to:
  • Unmetabolized folic acid blocking cellular folate uptake
  • Masking vitamin B12 deficiency
• Liver claim:
  • Liver folate is described as biologically active 5-MTHF, bypassing conversion steps.
• Signs they suggest may indicate slowed methylation:
  • Homocysteine > 10 (if tested)
  • Persistent mood problems
  • Fatigue not improved by sleep
  • “Fog in the head”
  • Irritability
• Nutrient synergy emphasized:
  • Liver provides B12 + folate, and B12 is needed for the cycle to function.

Cook liver correctly to avoid losing nutrients

• Advice:
  • Use minimal heat treatment
  • Overcooking may reduce water-soluble B vitamins and CoQ10
• Options suggested:
  • Low-temperature cooking
  • Liver pâté (easier to eat)
  • Dicing liver into ground beef to mask flavor

Helpful add-ons (combination foods)

• Pumpkin seeds: add zinc + magnesium
• Oysters once a week: add taurine + vitamin B12
• Bone broth: suggested for connective tissue and glycine balance (to support calmness)
• Example “simple diet” concept (as described):
  • Bone broth + chicken liver + beef liver + oysters + pumpkin seeds
  • Framed as easy to maintain and nutritionally comprehensive.
