#278: Organ Meats for Mama and Baby with Ashleigh VanHouten the Muscle Maven

Dr. Elana interviews Ashleigh VanHouten on the topic of Organ Meats! She was recommended by our friends over at Paleovalley @paleovalley and so glad they connected us and she has so much passion and knowledge to share! 

They talked about why mamas and kiddos should consider adding organ meats to their diets and she shared some favorite recipes along with a mom hack on how to use Paleovalley’s Organ Complex Capsules in place of cooking organ meats as an option.  They also talked about how common it is for women in particular to undereat protein and on today’s episode, they help guide you mamas on how to assess if you are getting your needs met and if not how to slowly build up your protein and nutrient-dense food needs so you can thrive!
