What is up you guys? I've been going through some old footage of my time in Tanzania with the Hadsah from earlier this year and I am reminded of one simple fact and that simple fact is that the organs of an animal are absolutely the most treasure part of that animal.

0:17.3

Whether we're talking about the heart, the liver, the spleen, the pancreas, the testicles, the brain, these were the organs. These were the foods that the Hadsah absolutely treasured. They treated them like gold. They were shared among the tribe, but the lions share of these organs went to the hunters that were successful in the kill and they were distributed and savored among all.

0:42.3

There was one point when I was with the Hadsah and one of the tribe members was holding a liver of a goat that we had killed and he just placed it so gingerly onto a pile of rocks before they cooked it and distributed among the tribe. It was really interesting to behold.

0:57.3

Now, you all probably know that I love organs and that is why I built Heart and Swale because for many of you getting organs is difficult in terms of quality or simply obtaining them because you don't have them in your normal grocery store.

1:10.3

Well, we make it Heart and Swale our grass fed grass finished regeneratively raised freeze dried desiccated organs from New Zealand the best on the planet.

1:18.3

I want to share with you guys two reviews and then we'll get into the podcast. I started my keto carnivore journey on October the first 2021 and in the first week of my news, Lou lifestyle along with taking six capsules of fire starter each morning.

1:34.3

I lost seven pounds along with the seven pounds. I feel much more energized and clear minded. I also have zero cravings for junk highly recommend.

1:43.3

That is from Hannah H who titles the review love it in all caps fire starter is our high steeric acid.

1:51.3

This is a review for B forgans from Michelle M my daughter and I started taking the supplement a few weeks ago and right away we both noticed an increase in energy not like you get from caffeine, but just a steady energy throughout the day. We were able to get things done instead of napping in the afternoon.

2:08.3

We aren't dragging through the day like before and we are sleeping great to we are very thankful for this product.

2:14.3

This is the kind of stuff that makes me very proud and very excited to do this work. So check us out at heart in soil.co that's dot CO to reclaim your birthright to radical health.

2:28.3

And if you need more organs, which all of us do in your life.

2:32.3

And if you have any of you have been following Bitcoin or last few weeks, you know that it has gone gangbusters back over $60,000 for one Bitcoin.

2:55.3

And the point standard was a pioneering work and exploring Bitcoin's value proposition as the hardest money ever discovered.

3:03.3

And the only working alternative to natural sent national central banks for international payments. We talk about all of this in the podcast.

3:10.3

And he holds a PhD in sustainable development. Interestingly, he can comment on energy use as we do in this podcast from Columbia University, where has doctoral thesis study the economics of biofuels and alternative energy sources.

3:23.3

Incidentally, in his thesis, he discovered that the economics of biofuels and alternative energy sources don't make a lot of sense for humans.

3:30.3

I've been talking about climate change a lot guys. There's a deep rabbit hole. We get into it a little bit in this podcast as well.

3:57.3

If you do not know about cryptocurrency, if you don't know what Bitcoin is, this is the podcast for you. I firmly believe that in the next few years, those who are able to invest in Bitcoin will secure financial sovereignty and financial independence.

4:14.3

And those who are not will sort of be left by the wayside looking at a consistently devalued American fiat dollar currency that is subject to much inflation.

4:24.3
