Many of us know by now how good organ meats are for our health, but we may still find them intimidating or completely foreign to work with! Ashleigh Vanhouten, the author of It Takes Guts, demystifies organ meats. She offers practical tips for not only preparing them but enjoying them. She gives examples of the best-tasting organs to start with (hint: not liver!) and discusses how to draw out (or semi-hide) the unique flavors. She also explains the superpower benefits of regularly incorporating these foods into our diets. Ashleigh also gives us a sneak peek into some of her favorite recipes, including chocolate blood pudding! Finally, she reminds us how she was once also uncertain about preparing organ meats when Ashleigh got started and encouraged us to get the guts to try them out, as she did!

Author of cookbooks Carnivore-ish and It Takes Guts and pioneer of women's strength training programs her work makes cooking and exercise feel easy and accessible. During this conversation, Ashleigh and Kate explore the world of incorporating organ meats into your diet from a place of no shame - whether you're highlighting them or hiding them, these nutrient dense superfoods deserve a place on your plate. Ashleigh talks about being a woman in male-dominated industries and how marketing has shaped the way women eat and train over the years, for better and worse. She talks about how we can celebrate the differences in women's physiological and hormonal outlays to train better, prioritize recovery, and get the protein women need in their diets. In that same vein, Ashleigh discusses her carnivore-ish pregnancy and what it has been like to begin to introduce the next generation to nutrient dense foods like organ meats in her baby's diet. This conversation is wide-ranging and incredibly empowering.

In this episode, Ashleigh and Beth discuss their book and dive into the weight-loss and weight-management industry. They explain how mindset impacts food choices- particularly with women, and the need for more nutrient density and protein.

We also debunk some common myths around protein consumption and talk about spices and ways to jazz up your meals. Carnivore-ish is an inspiring book!

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Ashleigh discusses the red flags within the weight-loss and weight-management industry and explains what she and Ashleigh are doing differently. Ashleigh and Beth debunk the myth that fun, delicious food cannot be healthy. Things that work best for your health are usually not sexy. They are often things your Grandma taught you. Some sustainable first steps that will help you to improve your health. Beth and Ashleigh want to help women understand that eating   nutrient-dense animal protein is excellent for their health, particularly pregnant women. The benefits of following a varied omnivorous diet. How you will benefit nutritionally from eating a lot of animal protein, particularly organ meats. Why should plant-based protein not be your primary source of protein? Beth explains why she encourages people to try a carnivore diet to cleanse and reset after eating a lot of sugar or drinking more alcohol than they usually do. Ashleigh talks about the value of eating organ meats. Ashley and Beth share some tips for getting into eating organ meats and making them taste delicious. Beth talks about her favorite spices and seasoning blends.

In preparation for Ashleigh’s upcoming second cookbook all about protein-forward recipes, she interviews chef, butcher, entrepreneur, author, and educator Ryan Farr about some basic rules and mistakes folks make in the kitchen when it comes to preparing, cutting, handling, and cooking meat. This super practical episode is a must-listen for any amateur chef and meat-lover who wants to get the most out of their cooking. The two cover ideal equipment and utensils; biggest mistakes many at-home chefs make; questions to ask your butcher, and much more. Ryan is the founder of San Francisco’s 4505 Meats, an artisan whole-animal meat company devoted to sustainable practices (and making delicious chicharrons and other tasty products!) He started 4505 Burgers and BBQ, opened a butchershop, and authored two books: Whole Beast Butchery: The Complete Visual Guide to Beef, Lamb, and Pork and Sausage Making: The Definitive Guide. Don’t forget Ashleigh already has a meat-based cookbook out: It Takes Guts is a meat-eater’s guide to cooking, eating, and enjoying organ meats and it’s available wherever books are sold!

Today Ashleigh speaks with a family dedicated to ancestral health and lifestyle, including natural home birth: Colin Stuckert, founder of Wild Foods Co, and his wife, Allison Bingham. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about the current culture and education around childbirth in America, and why a focus on empowerment, understanding our bodies, and trusting in our ability to birth is needed. This podcast is not meant to discourage anyone from a hospital-based birth, it’s about empowering individuals to advocate for themselves, research different options, and know that there are many ways to have a successful, positive birth. Allison talks about the differences in her first c-section birth and her second home birth; the ways in which she ate, exercised, researched, and labored, and some of the questions we should be asking as we prepare for our own labor and deliveries. Because birth is a family affair, this one isn’t just for moms and moms-to-be, but for birth partners and anyone who loves or cares about a potential birthing person!

Ashleigh Van Houten grew up as the only girl in a household of brothers, which lead her to watch a lot of wrestling and Arnold Schwartzenegger movies as a kid. She also liked watching the world’s strongest man competitions. From an early age, Ashleigh found herself intrigued by displays of strength and seeing what the human body can do. Along the way, Ashleigh became an author, speaker, podcast host, and self-proclaimed muscle nerd. She wrote a cookbook called It Takes Guts and is the host of the Muscle Maven Radio podcast.

Today Ashleigh speaks with Dr. Ben Bikman, author of Why We Get Sick, about insulin resistance, optimal diet, and the nearly universal contributing factors as to why we get sick - so we can approach health from the ground up, address the root issues, and truly understand how our bodies work. They discuss why we should be focusing more on our insulin than our blood sugar; why a lower carb diet is still the best approach for most people; why animal sources of protein and fat (always together) are ideal; how insulin resistance can impact hormonal health, fertility, and a host of other chronic and all-too-common diseases; and most importantly: how we can start learning about our health and our bodies to take ownership and control over our health.

In this episode with podcast host, nutritionist, and coach Rachel Gregory, Ashleigh and Rachel do a deep dive on the mental aspect of health and goal setting. Information and enthusiasm are both important for making positive health changes, but having the right outlook and a plan for sustained behavior change is even more crucial. Ashleigh and Rachel draw on their extensive experience as coaches and athletes to discuss why behavior change can be so difficult (even when we want to change!), why managing expectations and creating consistent habits matters more than hard work, and the tough questions we must ask ourselves before we set out for any goal.

From practical tips for at-home boxing practice; nutrition for athletes; and their favorite fighter movies, two cover it all.

They talk about imposter syndrome, learning while doing (instead of waiting for the “perfect time”), what it meant to work on a big project with a friend, insider tips on food photography, and how to overcome all the obstacles in your way - including finishing a tight deadline in the middle of a global pandemic!

The Shrugged team is embarking on a totally new area of fitness: they are launching a series of workout programs that will be available in WalMart stores, effectively bringing high-end fitness programs to a mass market. It’s the first time it’s ever been done, and I wanted to chat with my friend about the business of fitness, the challenges to entering new markets, the importance of balance and perspective in the fitness world, and how to be a “diesel dad” (or mom) and still have other hobbies and interests outside of the gym.

Are you looking to learn more about your health? Maybe you want to try a new style of eating, or understand how different foods effect you. It turns out, you can learn a lot about your body using a continuous glucose monitor, even if you aren’t diabetic or have insulin sensitivity issues. It helps you to understand how your body uniquely reacts to different foods, workouts, and other stressors; it can help you see how insulin sensitive or resistant you are during different times, and how well your body returns back to homeostasis; and it can help you individualize your diet and lifestyle to better support your unique physiology and goals. Ashleigh experimented with a NutriSense CGM for two weeks, tracked the data, and asked Kara Collier, director of nutrition for NutriSense, to help interpret her results as well as answer questions from listeners. They also discussed the differences in results if you’re keto or not keto; the time of your monthly cycle, if you’re a female; and possible “experiments” you can try with your CGM. If you’d like to try NutriSense for yourself, head to this link and use the code MUSCLEMAVEN to save $25!

Today Ashleigh chats with integrative dietician, holistic nutritionist and author Esther Blum about the ongoing complexities of gut health, hormonal health, and getting to the root of your problems to achieve sustainable positive health outcomes. So often we try to rush to a solution, or focus on addressing symptoms rather than a root cause; reframing our health goals as a life-long journey helps us slow down and truly understand ourselves, our bodies, and our challenges. We talk about digestive health, autoimmune issues, tracking and testing, continuous glucose monitoring, and much more!

In today's episode of the It Takes Guts Podcast I touch on the second meaning behind the name "It Takes Guts". You see, along with about roughly 3 million Americans I've been diagnosed with the invisible, hidden disease: IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease). For those who've never heard about IBD here's a little info for ya: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a term for two conditions (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) that are characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Prolonged inflammation results in damage to the GI tract. Not many people understand IBD - it is a largely hidden disease, and one that causes stigma, fear and isolation for those who live with it. It is thought that many people with the condition go undiagnosed and suffer in silence. I invite you to listen to my own personal journey of battling IBD where I get real about the symptoms, the emotions, the struggle, the hope and the healing that's given me my life back. ---

It Takes Guts is a new documentary from CBC Doc channel following the unfolding story of gut microbes, particularly their role in obesity. Our diet does play a huge role in our health, but the way in which diet affects health isn't quite what we thought. Our first guests, Leora Eisen director for the It Takes Guts doc joins us live in studio to talk about the film. For the rest of the show, Stefan and (just back) Kevin discuss the hollow feeling victory of the red wave. It's not as bad as it could have been under the conservatives, but did we win? We will see... This is a brief!

Ashleigh is an all around ancestral living superstar, a longtime writer, editor, podcast hostess and muscle maven based in Canada. Enjoy this wide ranging conversation about many topics of interest! Regarding fitness goals, Ashleigh describes how she likes to get pretty good at something, then move on to a new challenge to keep things fresh and stimulating. She has disparate accomplishments from winning a bodybuilding contest, double-bodyweight deadlift, finishing a marathon, and competing in CrossFit. It’s interesting to consider how developing broad athletic competency and trying to progress from novice to competent in many areas can be more healthy physically and more rewarding psychologically than becoming obsessed with continued improvement in a narrow area of focus. Ashleigh describes how it’s a good check and balance for the ego to be working to get better on things that aren’t your natural area of expertise. Ashleigh reflects on some of the lessons learned in bodybuilding. Most of us scoff at the extremism in the bodybuilding scene, but in the age of indulgence and excess, it’s worth reflecting on the value of following a strict regimen. After all, Ashleigh reminds us that, “moderation is difficult!” She notes that the success of carnivore and other restrictive diets is due to ease of compliance and lack of decision fatigue. We end our discussion discussing our mutual fascination with the recent emergence of nose-to-tail carnivore eating style as a legitimate strategy to heal nagging health problems and also drop excess body fat efficiently. Ashleigh has been hard at work on an awesome new book called It Takes Guts that will welcome you to the world of eating nose-to-tail animal foods. Enjoy the show and connect with Ashleigh on the Muscle Maven Podcast ( https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/muscle-maven-radio/id592596408 ) and on Instagram at TheMuscleMaven ( https://www.instagram.com/themusclemaven/?hl=en ). *TIMESTAMPS:* Ashleigh tells about her journey in the fitness scene. She is really good at a lot of things, instead of being good at just one thing. [03:47] When you put yourself through something really difficult, you can bring that with you in the rest of your life. [11:09] The reference to your bucket list is used here to talk about challenging you to try things that may not be what you're good at. [15:39] Sometimes being focused and disciplined and motivated can also come back to bite you. [17:23] We do better when we have something we are striving for. [20:42] In bodybuilding, we take the body into the extreme level. It can be an interesting mental journey. [21:15] After Ashleigh’s body building experience, she learned it is very tough to recalibrate. {29:20] A person needs to adopt a plan of consistency and patience when trying to shed excess body fat. [31:39] A person on this weight loss journey often will have plateaus or regressions. They need to listen to their bodies and be willing to make changes. [35:20] Does fasting work for some people and not others? Eliminating nutrient deficient processed foods is the first good step for everyone. [38:39] What does eating in moderation really mean? [42:31] Transitioning from poor eating habits to a more healthy lifestyle can be difficult but once there, you have the good habits and don’t even miss the crappy stuff. [45:42] After you have found good metabolic flexibility, there is no need to be worrying about the particulars. By this time, you will have learned to eat according to your appetite and awareness of your body’s needs. [48:24] The benefits of the carnivore diet are discussed here. [49:50] If you are going to kill animals, you should eat all of it nose to tail. The organ meats are the most nutritionally dense parts of the animal. [54:54] The hunt for organ meats can be challenging depending on where you live, but persevere. [59:45] There are many amazing testimonials from people who have added organ meats to their diets.
