Like so many places, there are touristy spots in Costa Rica and there are less touristy spots in Costa Rica. And you asked me earlier, is the place where you are overrun? It's not.
Yeah, yeah.
We often do.
I'm pretty remote. I mean, I have running water, I have electricity, right? I have two internet service providers because often one of them will go out, right? So one of them is fiber optic and the road to my house was only paved in the last two years. A lot of the roads are dirt. The last 300 meters to my house is dirt, but the road up to the dirt road was paved in the last couple of years.
And when you're driving up the road, it's gorgeous. So the road up to the dirt road is gorgeous paved road. And on the side are these big trees, big old trees. So in the rainy season, you'll get some wind and rain. And it's very common that a branch will come down and take out power and the fiber optic internet.
And in that case, I have a backup so I can still do work or connect with the outside world because no cell service.
I have a gift for you, too. So I bought you some meat sticks from Lineage. This is one of the companies that I founded, and they're all grass-fed, grass-finished with organs.
So Lineage is in its 11th month. So we've been in business. Lineage has been around almost a year. And then the other company is Heart and Soil, and that makes desiccated organ supplements. I'm going to send you some of both. We can talk about organs and stuff. But the cool thing about this is I never thought I'd be an entrepreneur.
I went to medical school, but it's been empowering and exciting to think about making things that people can use to lead better lives and making them in a unique way. That's all I want to do with these companies is make products that don't exist in the market that allow people to lead better lives in a easier way. So it's just the highest quality stuff that I could get people.
And it's all animal-based type nutrients, which we'll talk about a ton in the podcast.
The only ingredients in there and in everything that all my companies make are things like grass-fed beef, organs, vinegar, and salt. That's it. What's the deal with organs? Organs, we're talking about liver, heart, kidney, spleen, pancreas, testicle, ovaries, brain. like humans have always eaten these, but they're not a part of our diet today.
When I was in Africa with the Hadza, we hunted baboon. Their hunting grounds have been encroached upon by other tribes. So they're protected now because of tourism by the Tanzanian government, but they don't have as much room to hunt as they used to.
They would rather hunt things like eland, which is a large antelope, but oftentimes they end up hunting baboons, which is a little interesting because it's, kind of looks, it looks human, you know, like they have a thumb. But we hunted a baboon with them. And the first thing they did after they killed the baboon was put the baboon on the fire. And then we ate the organs.
So I shared the organs with the tribe. Another time with them, we ate a goat that someone had gifted to the tribe. And they had this raw liver that they cooked and they put it on a rock before they cooked it. And they were treating it like, it was like a precious piece of gold. They treasure these organs.
The day after we killed the baboon, the hunter who delivered the final blow that killed the baboon offered me, this is like Indiana Jones stuff, he offered me brain. He had the baboon head and he had roasted the brain and he said, do you want some brain? Of course I ate it. So I ate this baboon brain with the guy, but that's like one of their favorite parts of the baboon is the brain.
But what's so interesting about organs is they have unique nutrients. And to be fair, muscle is an organ.
When you go to the grocery store and you look at the butcher's counter, you see muscle meat. You don't see heart, you don't see liver, you don't see testicle, but you see meat. And that's an organ, but that's just one organ. And really the fatty reserves are an organ in and of themselves. The adipose depots are a separate organ.
And all of the organs have signaling molecules, myokines and hormones, and they have unique nutrients. So you look at muscle meat, like a steak, right? Steak is very high in iron, which is bioavailable because it's heme iron from animals. Muscle meat is high in creatine, which we know has been studied to help with mental performance, muscle recovery, explosivity.
It's high in B12, it's high in B6, it's high in zinc, but it's not very high in folate and it's not very high in, It has some choline, but the liver has more. The biotin is higher in the liver. So some organs have complementary nutrients that we know are important for humans. Liver has copper and it complements the zinc and muscle meat. So there's this historical pattern
of humans consuming animals, where if you eat the whole animal, you get a much more comprehensive, robust nutritional profile than if you just eat steak. Now, you don't need to eat a ton of liver. A little bit goes a long way, but we don't do this anymore. I didn't grow up, I had liverwurst growing up, but not a ton.
