ketut pratiwi I was wheel chair bound since 2002 I'm not anymore since doing Keto and eating plenty of liver myself ..it's great ;-) A hundred and five you say? Wow
I will add it to my husband diet. 😁 He drop like 50 point his bad cholesterol, in 2 months. When the doctor asked what was he doing, I told him the Keto diet. He look at me like I was crazy. The doctor recommend my husband to increase his daily grain. I said no, grains kill people 😅 Thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗
lorena Valdez I’m 60 have a pacemaker and had bypass surgery in 2014. For one year post op, took the statins and ate low fat. Felt like CRAP!!! It’s been 2 years on high fat, low carb, sugar is out, pasta breads absolute minimum. In is grass fed butter, avocados, olives, nuts and seeds, and lots of leafy greens. I HAVE NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE. Oh, don’t forget beef liver once a week and beef heart occasionally. Cholesterol is not the enemy, high carbs, especially garbage carbs, are at the root of disease.
Even the Apostle Paul warned us about the vegan diet. 1 Timothy 4:3 kjv 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
@@nancygatto4963 Nah you have to pan fry it with a light flour after you marinade it in milk and cook it with onions and pour the gravy you whisk up in the pan. Dr. Berg will not approve this message but that's how you do it.
My great grandparents raised their own grass fed cows and pasteur raised chicken. They ate beef and chicken liver regularly. They also ate bone marrow and made bone broth. They lived to be 100, while most of their generation lived to be 40-50.
Man!!! That's great. I believe you. My grandparents lived on a small farm, grew most of their food and made some food of what nowadays most people won't even taste. They ate pasture raised beef, chicken and eggs and alot of organic vegetables and fruit. I don't remember ever seeing them sick, and were very active , healthy, happy until their late 80s. They both died of natural causes. Beef liver, kidneys, bone broth, whole chicken, lots of veggies, fruit and other foods raised on a farm was in their diet. We have gotten away from that, nowadays most of the food has alot of pesticides, artificial flavor, color and alot of other stuff that is not natural.
pranjal86able it may not be too late for you. I know a man that is in his early seventies that started eating beef liver and taking blackstrap molasses and his hair is so dark compared to what it was 2 years ago. It really has taken 20 years off of his looks. He mixes the molasses with some kinds of seeds. Not sure which ones. He has been doing this almost a year. Will it put his color back like when he was 18? Probably not. But he doesn’t look 100 years old like he did before either. I mean even Columbus took a chance. He claims blackstrap molasses and beef liver and the seeds is what did it.
sg04f It was black sesame seeds mixed with blackstrap molasses and crushed almonds mixed in a jar. Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner. I just now saw your comment. It will take 6 months to start noticing. So keep doing it.
Good video. Personally I eat beef liver once per week. Just for health in general and because it taste fantastic. Recipe I can recommend, soak liver for 1 hour in water( not milk like many do, milk changes how it tastes), then fry up butter and onion, remove from pan, fry the chopped liver( white pepper, salt and BBQ seasoning), add back the onions at the end. Eat with potatoes and a good salad.
I fry it with 1 tbs of tomato paste and fried onion, add some dry mint at the end to balance the cool nature of liver this is how we used to do in Iran ❤
Haha I just made this earlier (with less seasoning). I got the grass fed beef liver and it tastes so good. Onion and liver is such a great combo. My dad used to make stir fried green pepper and liver, also good.
I've had liver on a regular basis in the three years I've been doing Keto ..and yes I have benefitted as I was wheelchair bound for years..I'm not any more... What does that tell you?
Patrick Quinn I slow fry it, adding bacon after removing the redness from the liver then chop up some vegetables add them to the frying pan add a touch of garlic and ginger and let it all simmer slowly in its natural juices for about twenty five minutes , then serve ;-) Lovely and tender
L F good luck it's not as bad as some think , I've made a comment on this thread to say how I prepare it .but I forgot to say I chop it up into small three inch pieces ..as evenly as possible before I fry it ... It's yummy..im having liver tonight ..myself ;-)
I was training for a 10K run and my legs felt like lead bricks. I did some research and figured out this was an iron issue (causing low blood oxygen) so I loaded up on spinach and liver for about a week to 10 days before the big event and I had the best run of my life. I have asthma and my breathing was so much better and I had noticeably more strength in my muscles. I attribute that to the nutrient density of the liver I was eating. It truly is a superfood.
Cut the liver into strips and add it into the instant pot with ginger, garlic, beef broth (better than bouillon), seasonings, knob of butter, hot sauce and then put over some cauliflower rice and broccoli.
Better yet, cut it into bite-size strips and sear them in a very low heated pan, just to leave the inside almost raw. Add a good quality sea salt afterwards. You don't need anything else, it taste amazing! One of my favorites. I do the same thing with beef kidneys as well.
@Rachel Avila I don't pressure cook it. Liver and kidneys are very soft, they don't need such high temperatures. There's a TH-cam channel called River Cottage. There are a couple of videos there by Steve Lamb about how to properly cut liver and a recipe. It's all very simple. The way I cook it is even simpler. I cut it into bite-size strips, I sear them in a very low heated pan just to leave the inside tender and almost raw. I use a good sea-salt and sometimes a bit of black pepper after they are done. At least for me it taste incredible. Kidneys have a very similar taste and texture to liver. Hope this helps.
@@rfdc just looked it up I am going to make it like this maybe roll in coconut flour, any other ideas I have a bunch of grass fed liver in the freezer just can't fix it without it being shoe leather. Steve's looks awesome also didn't know how to cut I usually make it a BIG piece and it is tough. thanks
I'm from Lebanon and we eat beef liver all the time, it is amazing to eat raw(no cooking) or if cooked with pomegranate molasses. It is quite commonly known as one of the healthiest food you can eat.
I just bought some liver today to try and haven't eaten any in over 25 years. My dad lived into his 90s and ate liver on a regular basis, He always told me it was really good for you, but I never took him for his word---Wow he was right after all.
A couple of years ago, I went to lunch in Houston with my then boss and some colleagues. Liver and onions was on the menu, so I ordered that. Then I looked back to my companions who had fallen silent. The liver was excellent as I recall, but the looks on their faces were priceless! 😁
I ordered 4 lbs among a few pounds of ground beef. It’s not cheap but I didn’t eat organic until half way through my diet and there’s a VERY noticeable difference. Buy grass fed and organic. It’s well worth the price and your body will thank you.
Beautiful writing skill. One of the most important thing about Vitamin A in a form of Retinol is to help activate your liver making ceroluplasmin so copper can bind to it and clean up your iron and direct where it should go Also to boost the effectiveness of Magnesium.
My friend was in hospital a few weeks ago with blood transfusion due to an extreme anemia caused by vegan diet. She is recovering well by eating beef, lamb, beef liver and lots of eggs.
vegan diet doesnt cause that. Anemia is an individual problem, not a vegan diet problem. There are millions of vegans who have been eating vegan for decades who do not have an iron problem. Same goes for B12 which everyone seems to think is unanimously a vegan diet problem. Might surprise people but the vast majority of those with B12 issues are still eating animal products. These problems stem mostly from the gut being damaged and the liver/kidney/adrenal system being down, not from not intaking the nutrient in question.
@@FalconTheFries Oh gee I don't know, maybe to halt their partaking in the largest and most horrifyingly brutal worldwide holocaust this world has ever known.
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency on the planet, and over 90% of people on this planet consume animal products. Iron is found in plenty in plant based food, and B12 normally wouldn't be a problem either. The problem with Iron Anemia and B12 Anemia/deficiency: 1. People are clogging their bodies with toxic food resulting in the body needing several times more caloric intake to get the same nutrition as before. A state of perpetual starvation. 2. Glyphosate, Gluten, Gmo's and other harmful chemicals are damaging gut absorption and even causing leaky gut resulting in less nutrients getting into the body even if you consume those nutrients. 3. Soils contain less nutrients than they did 100 years ago. 4. Food is mostly all sanitized, pasteurized, sprayed, rinsed etc getting rid of B12.
I recently started eating liver and I instantly powered up! I make bone broth over the course of two days from roasted beef bones and a few leaves of comfrey. I separate the tallow (fat) by chilling it in the fridge. This is when the magic happens, I make a short crust pastry with gluten free flour, half tallow and half grass fed butter which I then roll out to make pie crusts. I then brown up some steak and liver (soak in milk overnight). Simmer this in some broth, thicken with corn starch and add into your crust and bake for half an hour. It's crazy tasty, has great fats and is very nutritious. I get so much tallow from the bones I even add some to my dog's food which seems to help with her coat and joints.
@@raczyk depends on the dish. But we mainly bbq them. The preparation entails marinating them with a spice mix, onions, parsley, and olive oil. We then bbq these parts with the fat from the animal so it seeps some of the oil and gives it a better taste.
how do you guys get used to the taste? i never ate liver as a kid and when I took my first bite, I gagged so fucking hard and almost passed out in disgust.
omg it tastes so good . mama gave it to me when i was younger and was suffering from weakness or looked like I'm going to faint because I was sick all the time .my grama also said it's great for me during my period or when I'm sick because i don't have enough red cells ! wow I'm so surprised that u made this video Doc. my mama and her mama were right after all .
I always love the taste of animal livers. I used to eat a lot of livers, but I stopped eating it for 10 years because I heard that livers stored a lot of toxins. Thank you Dr. Berg, I will start eating liver again.
I have my local meat processor company make orders of ground beef (grass fed) with 10 lbs regular ground beef, plus 1-2 lbs liver and 1-2 lbs heart. At 1 lb each , you can't even detect it, it's so fresh and amazing. At 2 lbs of each it adds a hint of savory flavor to the beef that my husband and son really liked having no idea what I did different. It's been the ideal way to incorporate nutrient dense liver and heart into our diet without any fuss. :😊Even the owner, after a couple of orders decided he wanted to give the mix a try. 😋
When i was a kid way back in the Philippines i love beef liver and my mom cooked a really good recipe and now that im alone here in cali i always cook beef liver and still one of my highly requested food to my mom every year i go to the Philippines 👍😃
We always ate beef liver and onions when I was a kid. All of us kids love it; when we visit the folks, it's what we always request! We get it from a local organic farmer.
Thanks to people like Dr. Berg is that we can educate each other by sharing knowledge with anyone that is interested in helping themself healthwise. the honesty and good intentions are obvious, in that is what it makes a DOCTOR, a HEALER. Thanks again, God Bless you brother.
I went ahead and bought the grass fed beef liver Dr Berg recommended, and gave some to my daughter who had never tried it. She has been going through a lot of nervousness and nightmares, the day after she ate the liver she woke up more relaxed and she looks much more happier. Wow!! I didn't know it would make positive effect in her mood thank you Dr Berg.
I was experiencing weird nerve burning sensations in my arms, legs and toes. Also chest pain, unbearable itching with no rash, brain fog, sinus infections, dizziness and out of breath. I thought i was aging quickly and going crazy! I even did bloods and my dr told me all was ok until i spotted i was borderline deficient when i read my results. Long story short, i watched a video on whole food supplements for vit b12 and beef liver was recommended. In a matter of days i felt better, itchiness, dizziness and fogginess disappeared. After 3 weeks have also noticed better sleep, skin glowing and much better mood and more energy. My head is clear and my eye sight is better. I pray this helps who ever is reading this that this also helps you too. 🙏 😊
I started eating raw grass fed liver once a week a few months ago and I feel amazing everything I consume it . The most nutrient dense food on the planet
@@olblu8746 yeah it has more nutriets than any other version of it (cooked, baked, fried etc). That being said I don't think the good sides of it are so strong that everyone should do it. You are waaay better off just using supplements for certain vitamins that you might not be getting through every day life. For example I don't get enough vitam d (vitamin from the sun) because of work, so I use vitamin d pills instead. Similar with protein powder, creatine, zinc, magnesium, calcium, c vitamin and also b vitamin. Things like this is all different for everyone and our lifestyle so please do research on vitamins and chemicals that you eat every day and see what you might be missing. Magnesium can help you recover better during sleep if you have it before sleep. You can imagine things like this have a huge effect on us and our every day life. Take care!
DON'T OVERCOOK LIVER! I see a lot of people saying they hate the taste of liver and I can only surmise it's been overcooked. ... gently saute in butter leave it pink inside! .. little garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. ... I'm getting hungry. ....darn good stuff! (Bonus hint... you can use a little almond flour... a little i said! It will brown up great soaking up the juices as it browns.)
I luuuuuuuv beef liver with broccoli. Whole Foods sells grass fed liver for $9.99 per lb....I thought that was expensive, but the uswellnessmeats website sells it for $9.90, but you have to buy at least 7 lbs and it's frozen. Glad to know it's really good for me. Off to Whole Foods I go!
I've just recently started to eat liver again (both beef and chicken). It is absolutely great! I hated it as a kid because it was cooked to old shoe leather-tough. I just braise it in bacon drippings.
2 large Vidalia onions chop 4-6 garlic clove chop Cook until translucent Chop 2lbs organic beef liver Season 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 table spoon fresh crack pepper 1 table spoon of emerils southern season mix. Mix all together 1 cup of Carlo and Rossi red sweet wine. Let sit After onions garlic cooked Toss in beef liver This will be the best beef liver and onions you ever had. The Carlo and Rossi red sweet wine is the secret. I do this at least twice a week.
I sent this video out to my kids. I had liver last night. It’s very inexpensive. Comes frozen at the health food store. It’s was $2.50. I’m going to start adding it to my hamburger. I also was raised on it . My dad cooked it in onions. It’s so healthy
The beef liverwurst he recommended tastes delicious when you heat it up with some coconut oil. I feel that adding coconut oil takes away the iron taste, and makes the liverwurst product taste really good.
I just bought almost 2 pounds of pastured liver. I am eating it raw and I have been eating it raw for over four years. It helps me with energy, vitality etc..hair, skin and nails, eyesight, immune system. I eat it with organic raw butter or some cold pressed organic coconut oil. I do not over do it. I have been a raw foodist for seven or more years and I am now going in and out of ketosis and I have been doing this for a long time now. It's fun. Raw food is not denatured and it is much more bio-available. It is easy to digest for me. I have no digestive issues. I am an ex-competitive athlete and I am a dancer now. I love sprinting but that is not the only reason that I love superfood.
@@K4113B4113 Friend, throw everything you have heard from food scientists out of the window. If you cook your food, you destroy your food. We became human because we were scavengers and could reach the brains and marrow of carcasses with our fancy tools. What is better than eating brains for developing your brains?
@@K4113B4113 That's an opinion. Dr. Natasha Mc. Bride thinks that raw foods are more bio-available. She is an M. D. Berg is a D.O. Both good but digest raw foods extremely easily.
I literally just bought some grass fed beef liver from wholefoods today and cannot wait to have it with breakfast tomorrow.....I have been doing keto for quite some time and haven’t really been feeling that surge of energy that so many have. I have pretty significant adrenal issues. I really feel that having some GF liver a few times a week will help. All of the vitamins and minerals in beef liver are what I am pretty low on and I seem to have reactions to taking supplements. So I’m really hoping that this will help make ends meet......Been hearing nothing but good stuff....
I bought 3 sleeves of this. It’s pretty versatile. I’ve eaten it cold sliced, in eggs and I just made a version of liver and onions which was fantastic and why I came back to post on this video. Large dices of beef liverwurst, one onion. Medium heat with about 3 tablespoons of coconut oil, Himalayan salt and pepper to taste - it was fantastic! Wellness shipped pretty quick and arrived frozen. I added some fatty grass fed burgers which were on sale. Those are delicious too but careful on the grill. I pan fry grill mine since it’s hard to control the fat dripping from catching fire on the grill.
I get beef liverwurst from an organic supplier out in the Midwest, and it's good! Reminds me of a prior job where there was a co-worker who used to get a liverwurst sandwich from the local convenience store at lunch everyday with mustard and onions. It was cheap too. I ended up trying it and getting hooked myself. Yes there was bread but we were all oblivious to the effects of carbohydrates back then.
Dear Dr Berg , Thank you very much ❤️ for this precious wisdom. I cut them very them like one cm. thick and long. First I squeeze a big lemon over a pond liver. Then smashes garlic, Himalayan salt, black pepper 🌶️ and a sprinkle of whiskey over the marinated liver, then let it sit for an hour. Then Frye it on butter. When you see it's getting grey then turn it over. You will love it Doctor. I am soooo gratefully to know that liver is very good for woman. Stayy happy in Good Health forevermore dear Dr Berg. Humble greetings from Suriname
I’m 20 and have been struggling with low energy, no drive, brain fog etc… a cascade of problems… I started taking beef liver just 2 weeks ago and my life has been changed for the better. Every aspect of my life has improved. I used to be very energetic and hyper as a kid, so much so that I was known for it. I can finally feel the energy I used to feel as a kid 🥹
Dr. Berg (and all fellow fans of his good nutritional info) here is a tip for getting family members to eat liver, even when they don't like it: The following dip recipe is loved by all who taste it. Here in Mexico, we have access to good non-GMO corn chips, but for those who don't or who are on a keto diet, you can substitute fried pork rinds for chips. Simple fool proof recipe follows: Fry up your beef or chicken liver, or steam it. Then cut in pieces and put in blender, together with sauteed onions, a dash of worchestershire sauce, 1/4 to a half cup of mayonnaise or sour cream, and enough refried beans to equal the amount of cooked liver, so the ratio of liver to refried beans is close to 50/50. Blend it together until its pureed. Check the taste, maybe add more worcestershire sauce, for flavor enhancement and to help disguise the liver taste even more. I get a lot of requests for this dip recipe. Everyone loves it, and if done right, the liver taste is well disguised. Put a bowl of it out on a coffee table with chips, and it will disappear. Even finicky teenagers will devour it.
Hey Doc, You asked... Shilajit and Sea Moss have more nutrients, but I believe in having a wide variety of nutrients, so I am also a fan of Beef Liver Supplements. Again, from grass-fed though.
I'm really lucky, in Italy we can find very high quality liver and similar, from a lot of animals, and we have a lot of great recipes to cook that! Coratella or Fegato alla veneziana, pig liver sausages and more. Really traditional and really extremely good in flavor.
Dr. Berg I have to say I can't live without liver because it's so good for me. I have liver pate every morning. It gives me energy and helps my mind function sanely throughout the day.
Been eating beef liver every day for a month and it is wild how much energy I have. It’s that deep underlying current of wakefulness not that speedy coffee energy.
What about Veal liver? Preparation question: We first rise with water. Then let it sit for a few minutes (5 min) in a pyrex bowl of water and white vinegar. Then wash it in lemon juice. The. Salt it and fry it in butter. With garlic and onions... Delish but did we mess it up?
Hi Dr Berg I find beef liver to have too strong a taste. It brings back memories of school meals, where we used to get over cooked beef liver (in UK). I love lambs liver. Cook in olive oil or butter until just pink, with onions - try it. It has a much milder taste and is still pretty nutritious. Added benefit is that it is so cheap to buy.
steve1711 -me too Steve👍🏻Im in Scotland and find that grass fed lamb liver and meat is quite easy to find-my new favourite is rolled lamb breast(pretty cheap per pound.I dose it in lard,fresh rosemary and streaky bacon then wrap it tight in foil and almost confie it in oven.A £4 joint in Tesco will give you four nice portions with fat left over to fry veggies in,yummy).Also sheep hate eating grains and have a nasty habit of dying when fed gmo( according to research), so lamb has become my new main clean meat👍🏻
Blackbird Singing I can only only get pigs or chicken liver in Asda. Had fried chicken liver this evening with mushrooms, onions and radishes plus broccoli and Brussels sprouts. It was lovely. My mom used to overcook it in the oven when we were growing up. You couldn’t get your teeth through it 😂
I eat a small amount of raw beef liver every day (organic grass fed of course). I buy it fresh, chop it up into small chunks, freeze it and defrost a few pieces daily, swallow them down with some raw milk (I don’t even taste it). Taking it instead of synthetic b vits and all the other good stuff Dr B mentioned. I love meat, organs & raw dairy, natures superfoods!
I like to cook it in ghee heavely black peppered with some salt i serve it with a side of mustard with black pepper stirred in. No gamey taste i actually enjoy eating it this way.
I fry the liver in small amount of olive oil until crispy. Then I add chopped yellow onions, and stir with salt and black pepper. I let everything cool before putting the liver+onions+raw garlic+crushed red pepper into a food processor and make an awesome LIVER PATE’... to spread on your favorites staples.
My grandma used to cook liver and onions back in Ohio the only thing that grossed me out about the process was her soaking the liver and milk to leech out the blood. Having said that I thoroughly enjoyed the taste and the consistency.
Yummy way to cook liver: 1)cut the liver in cubes 2)prepare your butter 3) some crushed garlic (I put about 3 gloves for about 2 liver steaks) + add salt on the garlic 4)prepare lemon juice (1 to 2 lemons) ____ Start by melting the butter in a pan then add the liver meats, let them all be spread in the pan. Wait about 5 minutes then turn them. When they are dark and ready to be eaten, make a little space in your pan and add the garlic 😋 for 1 to 2 minutes dont let them get burned. Then mix them as you like and finally add your lemon juice and let them cook together for about 7 to 10 minutes (the time you are washing the dishes). And now its ready to be eaten 🤰 That's how we prepare it in lebanon (if we didn't eat it raw). Eat it with some Hummus and taboulé salad 😋😋
I have been eating beef liver for about seven months and I felt the difference immediately. I actually eat it with salad. As of the first of the year I started going to the gym,and one of the supplement's I started using is a product called Ultra 40,which is 100 percent Argentine beef liver.This is a incredible supplement. I find that when taking this product,you have a choice of using creatine or not because it gives incredible endurance,pumps and strength without consuming creatine. If you decide to stack Ultra 40 with creatine the result's are outstanding. Ultra 40 alone will give you so much energy.
mohamed rashed: A local butcher shop that is selling grass fed beef would be selling organs from the cow that was raised healthy. I would imagine..ask your local butcher.
So went right out and bought some grass fed beef liver. Cooked it right up and my body was like eat that now! Organ meats have been off my radar for whatever reason. Ate some everyday for a week now and I feel great. I know I was depleted. Energy up, but my eyesight is way way better.Had damage to my eye after a detatched retina. Everything is much more distinct and my night vision is dramatically better. I also believe getting the excess calcium out helped as well. Shocking how this dietary addition can make a huge difference. Feel way better. Going to tone it down now that I have built up a bit. Thank you .
@@JohnJJay I did take the k2.The fish oil I was taking had D3 a K2. Also getting it from the liver, and some other sources. Helped big time. Hope that helps.
It’s the best thing to eat if you think you might be deficient in a certain vitamin lol . I don’t want to get a blood test done so I bought some liver because of how many vitamins it has !
I’ve been eating liver since I was a child , you need to go to your traditional butcher. And ask for a good quantity of liver. If your suffering from anaemia low in iron , or low in vitamin A… this is an absolute great organic way to increase those… I am not a doctor … only an experienced liver eater. Lol
Dr. Berg I just searched up beef liver recipes and the first recipes told me to soak in milk for 1-2 hours to get rid of that strong taste. I did that and it tastes like a normal piece of beef. yum I could eat this all the time. Too bad, I live in Canada and they don’t have much (grass-fed) liver available. I had to go to a farm, and they only have very limited quantities.
Fortunately Liver is a favorite food of mine since childhood. Grass f&f Beef, lightly pan fried to medium rare in avocado oil on medium heat with onions, mushrooms, garlic, salt and pepper, YUM YUM!
Another fantastic video by Dr. Berg. Liver also keeps a man young and potent well into the late 70s. My grandparents lived on a farm. He worked the land , l never saw them sick and were always very energetic up to their late 80s. Everytime we visited , granma would make a stew of beef , goat , or lamb organs : heart, kidneys, liver and other stuff. It was very delicious. I didn't know how nutritious that was until Dr. Berg made this video. Great job Dr. Berg. How l wish l'd known this when l was a boy. But it's never too late to start eating right.
When I was younger I ate beef liver and kidney all the time...from my grandmother. As I entered my early 20's I stop eat it. Around my mid 30"s I develop Anemia. Now is Back to Liver for me. Anemia Is Horrible. Maca root and Nettle tea help me a lot.. ..
You know what? What you said about energy is true. Two days ago my hubby bought liver and I fried it with some onion and spice, I had some leftovers and I ate in the morning normally I loose my energy around 11 in the morning because I have been anemic for years but yesterday it didnt happened. We were moving and I packed and carried stuff on and off untill 11 at night. I didnt realise that until I watched this.!
God Is So Wonderful how He uses you to Be A Huge Blessing to Myself, and the Whole World. Thank you so much Dr. Berg! I really needed this info. I don't care for liver but I'm going to buy some this week and eat it!🤣🌞🌈🌎
Dr.Berg you are the man! I love that you bring all these super nutritious foods to my awareness with great explanation and detail on how it helps and also I love that you bring light to the misconceptions! One of the reasons I don't eat Liver is, because of the taste, but also, because I thought the Liver stored toxins. Now I know the Liver. neutralizes toxins and that it stores nutrients. Now Imma go figure out how to flavor up liver so that I can consume it more often and get all these amazing amounts of nutrients form it. Thank you Dr.berg!!! 😃🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Breaded liver and onions is one of my favorite dishes! I've always enjoyed the taste of breaded beef liver and beef liver is incredibly cheap as well!.
Used to hate liver as a kid. Have been taking beef liver twice a week regularly on a keto/ IF lifestyle for a couple of years now. I feel satiated and mentally sharp. The best way I found is to soak the liver in something sour like apple cider vinegar or lemon water for about an hour or more. Then drain off the water and cook the liver with butter or coconut oil mixed with whatever spices and herbs you want. Tastes great.
my grandma is 105 yo, she still walk without cane because she eat beef liver twice a week :)
wow
Kelly Jones i live with her from i was 8 til 20 YO, before bed she always have a shot of scotch and she eat alot of vegetables

I will add it to my husband diet. 😁
He drop like 50 point his bad cholesterol, in 2 months. When the doctor asked what was he doing, I told him the Keto diet. He look at me like I was crazy. The doctor recommend my husband to increase his daily grain. I said no, grains kill people 😅
Thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗

Man!!! That's great. I believe you. My grandparents lived on a small farm, grew most of their food and made some food of what nowadays most
people won't even taste.
They ate pasture raised beef, chicken and eggs and alot of organic vegetables and fruit. I don't remember ever seeing them sick, and were very active , healthy, happy until their late 80s. They both died of natural causes. Beef liver, kidneys, bone broth, whole chicken, lots of veggies, fruit
and other foods raised on a farm was in their diet. We have gotten away from that, nowadays most of the food has alot of pesticides, artificial flavor, color and alot of other stuff that is not natural.
COMPLETE B.S!
A whole generation only lived 40 or 50?
Absolute rubbish.
Average life expectancy globally is 72.
@@Thoth19 their generation was born in the 1870s. Go look at the charts.
@@Thoth19 the life expectancy in the US in 1900 was only 50 years. His great grandparents were probably from even earlier than that.
Liver also contains the Catalase enzyme that helps prevent hair turning gray.
Too late for me
pranjal86able it may not be too late for you. I know a man that is in his early seventies that started eating beef liver and taking blackstrap molasses and his hair is so dark compared to what it was 2 years ago. It really has taken 20 years off of his looks. He mixes the molasses with some kinds of seeds. Not sure which ones. He has been doing this almost a year. Will it put his color back like when he was 18? Probably not. But he doesn’t look 100 years old like he did before either. I mean even Columbus took a chance. He claims blackstrap molasses and beef liver and the seeds is what did it.
Maybe Glutathione that activates the Catalase?
@@JohnDavis-yz9nq what seeds were it? Please can you find out? I want to have it too!
sg04f It was black sesame seeds mixed with blackstrap molasses and crushed almonds mixed in a jar. Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner. I just now saw your comment. It will take 6 months to start noticing. So keep doing it.
Good video. Personally I eat beef liver once per week. Just for health in general and because it taste fantastic. Recipe I can recommend, soak liver for 1 hour in water( not milk like many do, milk changes how it tastes), then fry up butter and onion, remove from pan, fry the chopped liver( white pepper, salt and BBQ seasoning), add back the onions at the end. Eat with potatoes and a good salad.
I fry it with 1 tbs of tomato paste and fried onion, add some dry mint at the end to balance the cool nature of liver
this is how we used to do in Iran ❤
Haha I just made this earlier (with less seasoning). I got the grass fed beef liver and it tastes so good. Onion and liver is such a great combo.
My dad used to make stir fried green pepper and liver, also good.
I've had liver on a regular basis in the three years I've been doing Keto ..and yes I have benefitted as I was wheelchair bound for years..I'm not any more...
What does that tell you?
Would also love to know how you prepared it! I just bought some and am excited to give it a try!
Patrick Quinn I slow fry it, adding bacon after removing the redness from the liver then chop up some vegetables add them to the frying pan add a touch of garlic and ginger and let it all simmer slowly in its natural juices for about twenty five minutes , then serve ;-)
Lovely and tender
Cos Wynne Strong Thanks for sharing your receipe! 🙂
L F good luck it's not as bad as some think , I've made a comment on this thread to say how I prepare it .but I forgot to say I chop it up into small three inch pieces ..as evenly as possible before I fry it ...
It's yummy..im having liver tonight ..myself ;-)
Cos Wynne Strong Great suggestion! Thanks so much! It's wonderful to hear it has served you so well. 🙂
I was training for a 10K run and my legs felt like lead bricks. I did some research and figured out this was an iron issue (causing low blood oxygen) so I loaded up on spinach and liver for about a week to 10 days before the big event and I had the best run of my life. I have asthma and my breathing was so much better and I had noticeably more strength in my muscles. I attribute that to the nutrient density of the liver I was eating. It truly is a superfood.
Bad choice on spinach. It was all liver that did that
@@emailromo What about asparagus ??
@@lindafox3619 Why asparagus??? Beef, eggs, dairy and liver has all the nutrients you need.
I get liver and blend it up and then mix it into ground beef. It makes our skin so soft!
Cut the liver into strips and add it into the instant pot with ginger, garlic, beef broth (better than bouillon), seasonings, knob of butter, hot sauce and then put over some cauliflower rice and broccoli.
Better yet, cut it into bite-size strips and sear them in a very low heated pan, just to leave the inside almost raw. Add a good quality sea salt afterwards. You don't need anything else, it taste amazing! One of my favorites. I do the same thing with beef kidneys as well.
Do you pressure cook it then or saute? I'd like even a little more info so I can actually try this- it sounds very very good.
@Rachel Avila I don't pressure cook it. Liver and kidneys are very soft, they don't need such high temperatures. There's a TH-cam channel called River Cottage. There are a couple of videos there by Steve Lamb about how to properly cut liver and a recipe. It's all very simple. The way I cook it is even simpler. I cut it into bite-size strips, I sear them in a very low heated pan just to leave the inside tender and almost raw. I use a good sea-salt and sometimes a bit of black pepper after they are done. At least for me it taste incredible. Kidneys have a very similar taste and texture to liver. Hope this helps.
@nick sweeney yes he said cauliflower rice not cauliflower and rice
@@rfdc just looked it up I am going to make it like this maybe roll in coconut flour, any other ideas I have a bunch of grass fed liver in the freezer just can't fix it without it being shoe leather. Steve's looks awesome also didn't know how to cut I usually make it a BIG piece and it is tough. thanks
I'm from Lebanon and we eat beef liver all the time, it is amazing to eat raw(no cooking) or if cooked with pomegranate molasses. It is quite commonly known as one of the healthiest food you can eat.
I live in Lebanon too! I’ve never tried liver but I’m gonna buy some at Spinneys tomorrow 😅
Yesss I am from Lebanon too and I eat liver with pomegranate melasses and lots of cumin, mmmm soo good
Fried in butter and sage.. so good.
plz share the recipe of molasses.
What precautions do you take to eat raw liver
I just bought some liver today to try and haven't eaten any in over 25 years. My dad lived into his 90s and ate liver on a regular basis, He always told me it was really good for you, but I never took him for his word---Wow he was right after all.
I'm Indian so we make it with spices. I'm wondering if we should cook it right or not overcook it
A couple of years ago, I went to lunch in Houston with my then boss and some colleagues. Liver and onions was on the menu, so I ordered that. Then I looked back to my companions who had fallen silent. The liver was excellent as I recall, but the looks on their faces were priceless! 😁
excellent choice,,,
why were they surprised?
I love liver. Don’t understand why people don’t like the taste. I think it tastes really good. Even better than beef to me 😂
@@176gumi Because they don't know what real food is when they see it.
He said “ before you click me out just hear me out”. 😂😂😂
For vegans 😂
Lmao he said it so casually lmfao
Liver is the adult version of “eat it, it’s good for you”!
His name should have MC after it too 😂
I ordered 4 lbs among a few pounds of ground beef. It’s not cheap but I didn’t eat organic until half way through my diet and there’s a VERY noticeable difference. Buy grass fed and organic. It’s well worth the price and your body will thank you.
Beautiful writing skill.
One of the most important thing about Vitamin A in a form of Retinol is to help activate your liver making ceroluplasmin so copper can bind to it and clean up your iron and direct where it should go
Also to boost the effectiveness of Magnesium.
My friend was in hospital a few weeks ago with blood transfusion due to an extreme anemia caused by vegan diet. She is recovering well by eating beef, lamb, beef liver and lots of eggs.
hope he isnt vegan anymore
vegan diet doesnt cause that. Anemia is an individual problem, not a vegan diet problem. There are millions of vegans who have been eating vegan for decades who do not have an iron problem. Same goes for B12 which everyone seems to think is unanimously a vegan diet problem. Might surprise people but the vast majority of those with B12 issues are still eating animal products. These problems stem mostly from the gut being damaged and the liver/kidney/adrenal system being down, not from not intaking the nutrient in question.
Why would anyone go vegan?
@@FalconTheFries Oh gee I don't know, maybe to halt their partaking in the largest and most horrifyingly brutal worldwide holocaust this world has ever known.
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency on the planet, and over 90% of people on this planet consume animal products. Iron is found in plenty in plant based food, and B12 normally wouldn't be a problem either. The problem with Iron Anemia and B12 Anemia/deficiency:
1. People are clogging their bodies with toxic food resulting in the body needing several times more caloric intake to get the same nutrition as before. A state of perpetual starvation.
2. Glyphosate, Gluten, Gmo's and other harmful chemicals are damaging gut absorption and even causing leaky gut resulting in less nutrients getting into the body even if you consume those nutrients.
3. Soils contain less nutrients than they did 100 years ago.
4. Food is mostly all sanitized, pasteurized, sprayed, rinsed etc getting rid of B12.
I recently started eating liver and I instantly powered up! I make bone broth over the course of two days from roasted beef bones and a few leaves of comfrey. I separate the tallow (fat) by chilling it in the fridge. This is when the magic happens, I make a short crust pastry with gluten free flour, half tallow and half grass fed butter which I then roll out to make pie crusts. I then brown up some steak and liver (soak in milk overnight). Simmer this in some broth, thicken with corn starch and add into your crust and bake for half an hour. It's crazy tasty, has great fats and is very nutritious. I get so much tallow from the bones I even add some to my dog's food which seems to help with her coat and joints.
So much lovely information I had to screenshot 😉
When we were young we ate that twice a week with onions. That was in the 60s😃 and seventies
wanda arns same here
You also ate charcoal cooked food , so there’s that
That's cause you were poor in the 70's

Younes ZH hhhhh must be North African! Boulfafe
How do u prepare liver and hearts? Do you cook them medium rare?
@@raczyk depends on the dish. But we mainly bbq them. The preparation entails marinating them with a spice mix, onions, parsley, and olive oil. We then bbq these parts with the fat from the animal so it seeps some of the oil and gives it a better taste.
how do you guys get used to the taste? i never ate liver as a kid and when I took my first bite, I gagged so fucking hard and almost passed out in disgust.
I'm with you. I love liver and onions
omg it tastes so good . mama gave it to me when i was younger and was suffering from weakness or looked like I'm going to faint because I was sick all the time .my grama also said it's great for me during my period or when I'm sick because i don't have enough red cells !
wow I'm so surprised that u made this video Doc.
my mama and her mama were right after all .
I hated liver when young....now I love it!!
I always love the taste of animal livers. I used to eat a lot of livers, but I stopped eating it for 10 years because I heard that livers stored a lot of toxins. Thank you Dr. Berg, I will start eating liver again.
Go grass fed! Best bet!
There's also an excellent grass fed liver supplement coming out if New Jersey,their name is Levels.
@@josephleighton2458 Grass FINISHED, not fed.
I have my local meat processor company make orders of ground beef (grass fed) with 10 lbs regular ground beef, plus 1-2 lbs liver and 1-2 lbs heart. At 1 lb each , you can't even detect it, it's so fresh and amazing. At 2 lbs of each it adds a hint of savory flavor to the beef that my husband and son really liked having no idea what I did different. It's been the ideal way to incorporate nutrient dense liver and heart into our diet without any fuss. :😊Even the owner, after a couple of orders decided he wanted to give the mix a try. 😋
Thank you 🙏. Great idea
That’s a great idea will definitely do this 👏👏🔥🔥🔥
Such a fantastic idea whenever I have a family and want them healthy,
This liver video is eye opening beyond compare. Thank you Dr Berg for giving me the tools to turn my health around.
Trying to turn my health around too
Nice pun lol
There is a whole chapter about cow 🐄 in holy Quran.🤔
Did you turn it around or fall back into bad habits.
When i was a kid way back in the Philippines i love beef liver and my mom cooked a really good recipe and now that im alone here in cali i always cook beef liver and still one of my highly requested food to my mom every year i go to the Philippines 👍😃
How did she cook it ?
I bike alot. Liver tabs gave me unbelievable endurance and a reduction in lactic acid in my muscles.
B1 ( Thiamine) is also good for lactic acid
We always ate beef liver and onions when I was a kid. All of us kids love it; when we visit the folks, it's what we always request! We get it from a local organic farmer.
Thanks to people like Dr. Berg is that we can educate each other by sharing knowledge with anyone that is interested in helping themself healthwise. the honesty and good intentions are obvious, in that is what it makes a DOCTOR, a HEALER. Thanks again, God Bless you brother.
I love liver ! I'm from Liverpool and we live of liver ...I'm a be(liver) in liver lol .

I went ahead and bought the grass fed beef liver Dr Berg recommended, and gave some to my daughter who had never tried it.
She has been going through a lot of nervousness and nightmares, the day after she ate the liver she woke up more relaxed and she looks much more happier. Wow!! I didn't know it would make positive effect in her mood thank you Dr Berg.
I was experiencing weird nerve burning sensations in my arms, legs and toes. Also chest pain, unbearable itching with no rash, brain fog, sinus infections, dizziness and out of breath. I thought i was aging quickly and going crazy! I even did bloods and my dr told me all was ok until i spotted i was borderline deficient when i read my results. Long story short, i watched a video on whole food supplements for vit b12 and beef liver was recommended. In a matter of days i felt better, itchiness, dizziness and fogginess disappeared. After 3 weeks have also noticed better sleep, skin glowing and much better mood and more energy. My head is clear and my eye sight is better. I pray this helps who ever is reading this that this also helps you too. 🙏 😊
Thank you so much for making this video you really save my health from getting worse. God continued to bless you Doc.
Thank you for answering my call yesterday on your live show. I’m going to apply your recommendations and I’m sure I will be well soon. 😊
Not eaten beef liver for about 25 years - time for a re introduction
I mix this stuff in with my burger eat. You won't even know it's there. Kids don't even know they are eating when they eat my Smash Burgers.

I started eating raw grass fed liver once a week a few months ago and I feel amazing everything I consume it . The most nutrient dense food on the planet
😂😂😂 u wanna eat grass why ??
@@luvothando5214 not grass but cows who eat grass. You buy cow liver and eat that raw. That's what the original comment was talking about
Try it with fried onions and mushroom's.
Raw ???
@@olblu8746 yeah it has more nutriets than any other version of it (cooked, baked, fried etc). That being said I don't think the good sides of it are so strong that everyone should do it. You are waaay better off just using supplements for certain vitamins that you might not be getting through every day life. For example I don't get enough vitam d (vitamin from the sun) because of work, so I use vitamin d pills instead. Similar with protein powder, creatine, zinc, magnesium, calcium, c vitamin and also b vitamin. Things like this is all different for everyone and our lifestyle so please do research on vitamins and chemicals that you eat every day and see what you might be missing. Magnesium can help you recover better during sleep if you have it before sleep. You can imagine things like this have a huge effect on us and our every day life. Take care!
Been eating it raw twice a week for nearly 4 and a half years. Came away from muscle meats and only eat organs and fish.
Never felt so good
DON'T OVERCOOK LIVER! I see a lot of people saying they hate the taste of liver and I can only surmise it's been overcooked. ... gently saute in butter leave it pink inside! .. little garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. ... I'm getting hungry. ....darn good stuff! (Bonus hint... you can use a little almond flour... a little i said! It will brown up great soaking up the juices as it browns.)
I luuuuuuuv beef liver with broccoli. Whole Foods sells grass fed liver for $9.99 per lb....I thought that was expensive, but the uswellnessmeats website sells it for $9.90, but you have to buy at least 7 lbs and it's frozen. Glad to know it's really good for me. Off to Whole Foods I go!
What brand do you buy? And whats the ingridents in it
That's expensive liver used to be cheap
beef liver is $5.99/lb at my whole foods in los angeles area.
The question is, is it grass finish. Meat can be considered grass fed but not grass finish. Stupid how they can do that but you have to be careful
I've just recently started to eat liver again (both beef and chicken). It is absolutely great! I hated it as a kid because it was cooked to old shoe leather-tough. I just braise it in bacon drippings.
2 large Vidalia onions chop
4-6 garlic clove chop
Cook until translucent
Chop 2lbs organic beef liver
Season 1 teaspoon sea salt
1 table spoon fresh crack pepper
1 table spoon of emerils southern season mix. Mix all together
1 cup of Carlo and Rossi red sweet wine. Let sit
After onions garlic cooked
Toss in beef liver
This will be the best beef liver and onions you ever had.
The Carlo and Rossi red sweet wine is the secret.
I do this at least twice a week.
I sent this video out to my kids. I had liver last night. It’s very inexpensive. Comes frozen at the health food store. It’s was $2.50. I’m going to start adding it to my hamburger. I also was raised on it . My dad cooked it in onions. It’s so healthy
hamburgers are not healthy
Love this doc. Found his channel a few weeks ago and he summarizes nicely.
I love to make a pate from any liver; I saute it and add onions and spices and when at room temperature blend it to a paste.Awsome on a toast!!!
Raw? Or do you cook it?
When i was child my mom used to cook fried rice with chicken liver or beef liver. I miss you mom.....
I bought it. It absolutely delicious. Fried it in a bit of olive oil for 2 minutes.
Highly recommended
I feel so liverated right now! :)
Liver > Soylent green hehe
😄 Liver for everyone!!

The beef liverwurst he recommended tastes delicious when you heat it up with some coconut oil. I feel that adding coconut oil takes away the iron taste, and makes the liverwurst product taste really good.
I just bought almost 2 pounds of pastured liver. I am eating it raw and I have been eating it raw for over four years. It helps me with energy, vitality etc..hair, skin and nails, eyesight, immune system. I eat it with organic raw butter or some cold pressed organic coconut oil. I do not over do it. I have been a raw foodist for seven or more years and I am now going in and out of ketosis and I have been doing this for a long time now. It's fun. Raw food is not denatured and it is much more bio-available. It is easy to digest for me. I have no digestive issues. I am an ex-competitive athlete and I am a dancer now. I love sprinting but that is not the only reason that I love superfood.
solfege suns danm I need to try it raw . Raw foods are bioavailable which is great , liver has so many nutrients our body needs

I literally just bought some grass fed beef liver from wholefoods today and cannot wait to have it with breakfast tomorrow.....I have been doing keto for quite some time and haven’t really been feeling that surge of energy that so many have. I have pretty significant adrenal issues. I really feel that having some GF liver a few times a week will help. All of the vitamins and minerals in beef liver are what I am pretty low on and I seem to have reactions to taking supplements. So I’m really hoping that this will help make ends meet......Been hearing nothing but good stuff....
Did it help this is a really old comment
I just started taking Ancestral Beef Liver. I'm doing IF keto with OMAD. I just got past a weight stall.
I bought 3 sleeves of this. It’s pretty versatile. I’ve eaten it cold sliced, in eggs and I just made a version of liver and onions which was fantastic and why I came back to post on this video. Large dices of beef liverwurst, one onion. Medium heat with about 3 tablespoons of coconut oil, Himalayan salt and pepper to taste - it was fantastic! Wellness shipped pretty quick and arrived frozen. I added some fatty grass fed burgers which were on sale. Those are delicious too but careful on the grill. I pan fry grill mine since it’s hard to control the fat dripping from catching fire on the grill.
I get beef liverwurst from an organic supplier out in the Midwest, and it's good! Reminds me of a prior job where there was a co-worker who used to get a liverwurst sandwich from the local convenience store at lunch everyday with mustard and onions. It was cheap too. I ended up trying it and getting hooked myself. Yes there was bread but we were all oblivious to the effects of carbohydrates back then.
Who is the supplier? I live in MIssouri.
Dear Dr Berg ,
Thank you very much ❤️ for this precious wisdom. I cut them very them like one cm. thick and long. First I squeeze a big lemon over a pond liver. Then smashes garlic, Himalayan salt, black pepper 🌶️ and a sprinkle of whiskey over the marinated liver, then let it sit for an hour. Then Frye it on butter. When you see it's getting grey then turn it over. You will love it Doctor.
I am soooo gratefully to know that liver is very good for woman.
Stayy happy in Good Health forevermore dear Dr Berg. Humble greetings from Suriname
I’m 20 and have been struggling with low energy, no drive, brain fog etc… a cascade of problems… I started taking beef liver just 2 weeks ago and my life has been changed for the better. Every aspect of my life has improved. I used to be very energetic and hyper as a kid, so much so that I was known for it. I can finally feel the energy I used to feel as a kid 🥹
I use desiccated liver, from grass fed beef. It truly IS a super food. It was the old school body builder, and remains so.
What brand?
@@VintageMe23 Find Argentine beef liver, no pesticide and grass fed. Swanson, and Beverly international have it.
@@03redrubi Thanks!
I ended up ordering one called "Perfect desiccated liver powder" - have you tried both brands of the ones you named above?
Dr. Berg (and all fellow fans of his good nutritional info) here is a tip for getting family members to eat liver, even when they don't like it:
The following dip recipe is loved by all who taste it. Here in Mexico, we have access to good non-GMO corn chips, but for those who don't or who are on a keto diet, you can substitute fried pork rinds for chips. Simple fool proof recipe follows:
Fry up your beef or chicken liver, or steam it. Then cut in pieces and put in blender, together with sauteed onions, a dash of worchestershire sauce, 1/4 to a half cup of mayonnaise or sour cream, and enough refried beans to equal the amount of cooked liver, so the ratio of liver to refried beans is close to 50/50. Blend it together until its pureed. Check the taste, maybe add more worcestershire sauce, for flavor enhancement and to help disguise the liver taste even more. I get a lot of requests for this dip recipe. Everyone loves it, and if done right, the liver taste is well disguised. Put a bowl of it out on a coffee table with chips, and it will disappear. Even finicky teenagers will devour it.
Can understand why the bodybuilders in the 60’s & 70’s took desiccated liver tablets...
ɮᴇᴄφᴍɪnɢ - WR Most of them just take Whey protein and Creatine..
Hey Doc, You asked... Shilajit and Sea Moss have more nutrients, but I believe in having a wide variety of nutrients, so I am also a fan of Beef Liver Supplements. Again, from grass-fed though.
I'm really lucky, in Italy we can find very high quality liver and similar, from a lot of animals, and we have a lot of great recipes to cook that! Coratella or Fegato alla veneziana, pig liver sausages and more. Really traditional and really extremely good in flavor.
Dr. Berg I have to say I can't live without liver because it's so good for me. I have liver pate every morning. It gives me energy and helps my mind function sanely throughout the day.
pate is bad for you
Watching Dr Berg videos, I started to eat organically beef liver, I bake it with apple and onions in grass fed butter, hope it helps!
Been eating beef liver every day for a month and it is wild how much energy I have. It’s that deep underlying current of wakefulness not that speedy coffee energy.

What about Veal liver?
Preparation question:
We first rise with water. Then let it sit for a few minutes (5 min) in a pyrex bowl of water and white vinegar. Then wash it in lemon juice. The. Salt it and fry it in butter. With garlic and onions...
Delish but did we mess it up?
Veal liver is good because they are always grassfed
Hi Dr Berg
I find beef liver to have too strong a taste. It brings back memories of school meals, where we used to get over cooked beef liver (in UK). I love lambs liver. Cook in olive oil or butter until just pink, with onions - try it. It has a much milder taste and is still pretty nutritious. Added benefit is that it is so cheap to buy.
thats a great idea
steve1711 -me too Steve👍🏻Im in Scotland and find that grass fed lamb liver and meat is quite easy to find-my new favourite is rolled lamb breast(pretty cheap per pound.I dose it in lard,fresh rosemary and streaky bacon then wrap it tight in foil and almost confie it in oven.A £4 joint in Tesco will give you four nice portions with fat left over to fry veggies in,yummy).Also sheep hate eating grains and have a nasty habit of dying when fed gmo( according to research), so lamb has become my new main clean meat👍🏻
Blackbird Singing I can only only get pigs or chicken liver in Asda. Had fried chicken liver this evening with mushrooms, onions and radishes plus broccoli and Brussels sprouts. It was lovely. My mom used to overcook it in the oven when we were growing up. You couldn’t get your teeth through it 😂
I eat a small amount of raw beef liver every day (organic grass fed of course). I buy it fresh, chop it up into small chunks, freeze it and defrost a few pieces daily, swallow them down with some raw milk (I don’t even taste it). Taking it instead of synthetic b vits and all the other good stuff Dr B mentioned. I love meat, organs & raw dairy, natures superfoods!
I like to cook it in ghee heavely black peppered with some salt i serve it with a side of mustard with black pepper stirred in. No gamey taste i actually enjoy eating it this way.
I fry the liver in small amount of olive oil until crispy.
Then I add chopped yellow onions,
and stir with salt and black pepper.
I let everything cool before putting
the liver+onions+raw garlic+crushed red pepper
into a food processor
and make an awesome LIVER PATE’...
to spread on your favorites staples.
Don't fry with olive oil....That's how you create free radicals....Not healthy
I love beef liver. I try to eat it every week.
How often every week?
My grandma used to cook liver and onions back in Ohio the only thing that grossed me out about the process was her soaking the liver and milk to leech out the blood. Having said that I thoroughly enjoyed the taste and the consistency.
how much time do we need to soak the liver in milk?
Yummy way to cook liver:
1)cut the liver in cubes
2)prepare your butter
3) some crushed garlic (I put about 3 gloves for about 2 liver steaks) + add salt on the garlic
4)prepare lemon juice (1 to 2 lemons)
____
Start by melting the butter in a pan then add the liver meats, let them all be spread in the pan. Wait about 5 minutes then turn them. When they are dark and ready to be eaten, make a little space in your pan and add the garlic 😋 for 1 to 2 minutes dont let them get burned. Then mix them as you like and finally add your lemon juice and let them cook together for about 7 to 10 minutes (the time you are washing the dishes). And now its ready to be eaten 🤰
That's how we prepare it in lebanon (if we didn't eat it raw). Eat it with some Hummus and taboulé salad 😋😋
Just had 0.5kg of grass fed calf liver with plenty of onion. I love the taste and was happy to hear it is so good for me.
I crave and buy/prepare ox liver very month around my cycle. It's delicious! Great to know it is so beneficial to my health.
I have been eating beef liver for about seven months and I felt the difference immediately. I actually eat it with salad. As of the first of the year I started going to the gym,and one of the supplement's I started using is a product called Ultra 40,which is 100 percent Argentine beef liver.This is a incredible supplement. I find that when taking this product,you have a choice of using creatine or not because it gives incredible endurance,pumps and strength without consuming creatine. If you decide to stack Ultra 40 with creatine the result's are outstanding. Ultra 40 alone will give you so much energy.
Leonard-Ralph Lyons . Was the liver you were eating organic. Because I can't find a place where sells organic liver
So awesome!!
mohamed rashed: A local butcher shop that is selling grass fed beef would be selling organs from the cow that was raised healthy. I would imagine..ask your local butcher.
Aaron Thank you. I will look into it.
Aaron The liver tablet's that I take are from grass-fed and hormone free cow's.
So went right out and bought some grass fed beef liver. Cooked it right up and my body was like eat that now! Organ meats have been off my radar for whatever reason. Ate some everyday for a week now and I feel great. I know I was depleted. Energy up, but my eyesight is way way better.Had damage to my eye after a detatched retina. Everything is much more distinct and my night vision is dramatically better. I also believe getting the excess calcium out helped as well. Shocking how this dietary addition can make a huge difference. Feel way better. Going to tone it down now that I have built up a bit. Thank you .
Turkee G, Hi Turkee, how did get calcium out? K2?
@@JohnJJay I did take the k2.The fish oil I was taking had D3 a K2. Also getting it from the liver, and some other sources. Helped big time. Hope that helps.
Turkee G, great, than you!
It’s the best thing to eat if you think you might be deficient in a certain vitamin lol . I don’t want to get a blood test done so I bought some liver because of how many vitamins it has !
I’ve been eating liver since I was a child , you need to go to your traditional butcher. And ask for a good quantity of liver. If your suffering from anaemia low in iron , or low in vitamin A… this is an absolute great organic way to increase those… I am not a doctor … only an experienced liver eater. Lol
Dr. Berg I just searched up beef liver recipes and the first recipes told me to soak in milk for 1-2 hours to get rid of that strong taste. I did that and it tastes like a normal piece of beef. yum I could eat this all the time. Too bad, I live in Canada and they don’t have much (grass-fed) liver available. I had to go to a farm, and they only have very limited quantities.
Liver is delicious. I eat it often! I'm so pleased to see that its a powerhouse of nutrition. And its cheap too!
Are desiccated grass fed, grass finished beef liver supplements just as effective(bioavailable)?
Beef liver is the superfood but also beef tripe too! This is the organ meat that is often forgotten but it is really powerful on Keto!
Sehara yes sir.
if it is not grass-fed and free range, then it'll be extremely unhealthy
Beef liver, onions, garlic, and mushrooms...THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fortunately Liver is a favorite food of mine since childhood. Grass f&f Beef, lightly pan fried to medium rare in avocado oil on medium heat with onions, mushrooms, garlic, salt and pepper, YUM YUM!
Another fantastic video by Dr. Berg. Liver also keeps a man young and potent well into the late 70s. My grandparents lived on a farm. He worked the land , l never saw them sick and were always very energetic up to their late 80s. Everytime we visited , granma would make a stew of beef , goat , or lamb organs : heart, kidneys, liver and other stuff. It was very delicious. I didn't know how nutritious that was until Dr. Berg made this video. Great job Dr. Berg. How l wish l'd known this when l was a boy. But it's never too late to start eating right.
i like liverwurst and liver
I like liverwurst with dill pickle on Dr. Berg's bread. I want to eat liver but can't find a recipe which makes it taste good.
@@lilirobin7136 I am seeing if my butcher will make me some sausages or a hamburger mix with it in it.
When I was younger I ate beef liver and kidney all the time...from my grandmother. As I entered my early 20's I stop eat it. Around my mid 30"s I develop Anemia. Now is Back to Liver for me. Anemia Is Horrible. Maca root and Nettle tea help me a lot.. ..
You know what? What you said about energy is true. Two days ago my hubby bought liver and I fried it with some onion and spice, I had some leftovers and I ate in the morning normally I loose my energy around 11 in the morning because I have been anemic for years but yesterday it didnt happened. We were moving and I packed and carried stuff on and off untill 11 at night. I didnt realise that until I watched this.!
Does liver helps you still to stay ok after 11 am?
i absoluetly LOVE how you talk about WOMENS HEALTH!!! Thank you soo much for this video
God Is So Wonderful how He uses you to Be A Huge Blessing to Myself, and the Whole World. Thank you so much Dr. Berg! I really needed this info. I don't care for liver but I'm going to buy some this week and eat it!🤣🌞🌈🌎
Liver is the food for real people not wimps 😁💪🏼
Dr.Berg you are the man! I love that you bring all these super nutritious foods to my awareness with great explanation and detail on how it helps and also I love that you bring light to the misconceptions! One of the reasons I don't eat Liver is, because of the taste, but also, because I thought the Liver stored toxins. Now I know the Liver. neutralizes toxins and that it stores nutrients. Now Imma go figure out how to flavor up liver so that I can consume it more often and get all these amazing amounts of nutrients form it. Thank you Dr.berg!!! 😃🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My life has changed for the better ever since I started taking the grass fed beef liver. My skin, my nails, my iron levels. I love it.
That's great to hear!
Breaded liver and onions is one of my favorite dishes! I've always enjoyed the taste of breaded beef liver and beef liver is incredibly cheap as well!.
look for braunschweiger. the beef liver has been smoked so it's really tasty.
Thank God I already love love love beef liver.
I love liver and onions, braunschweiger sandwich.
I was 7 years old back in 94, after watching that Doug episode I ate liver & onions at a diner and I remember loving it.
Used to hate liver as a kid. Have been taking beef liver twice a week regularly on a keto/ IF lifestyle for a couple of years now.
I feel satiated and mentally sharp.
The best way I found is to soak the liver in something sour like apple cider vinegar or lemon water for about an hour or more. Then drain off the water and cook the liver with butter or coconut oil mixed with whatever spices and herbs you want. Tastes great.
