Regenerative claims need sourcing honesty.
Chicken quality is non-obvious—air-chilled / pasture markers matter.
Liver + heart deliver nutrients muscle meat does not.
Local farms and co-ops are health strategy.
Hydration and digestion gate how food works.
U.S. regenerative farmers are part of BERSKI product story. Educational only.

FAQ
What makes BERSKI different from regular beef sticks?
BERSKI markets an ancestral blend with whole beef liver and heart (plus grass-fed/finished regenerative U.S. beef)—organ nutrients in a shelf-stable stick format.
Are organ meats necessary if I already eat steak?
Muscle meat and organs are not interchangeable nutrient packages. This episode argues organs concentrate vitamins/minerals that steaks alone do not cover.
Is this medical advice for my diet?
No. Educational podcast conversation only. Work with a qualified practitioner for personal nutrition or medical decisions.
