Aldrig saktat ner, allt är påväg.
Ja jag svär, jag bär på en krigarsjäl.
Men när dagen nåt sitt slut och kvällen står glänt.
Kom ihåg att du är svaret på allting som runt dig hänt.
För du kan tappa det och du kan sabba det, men det som gör dig hel är sättet som du tacklar det.
Så ställ dig upp fira nu de livet som vi lever, ena dagen är det skit men fan vi står ju kvar och ler än.
Jag tar mig upp du drar mig ner, allting som vi krigar med det sliter mig i bitar försöker hålla mig på ytan.
Jag tar mig upp du drar mig ner, allting som vi krigar med det sliter mig i bitar försöker hålla mig på ytan.

Varit blind i stunden nu jag ser klart.
7 år har gått tror jag blev van.
Så jag greppa livet, nu kasta tiden å ja ser mot himmlen med min rygg rak.
Jag lova att jag skulle sätta spår, bygger upp mig själv och tar den chans jag får.
Jag greppar saker jag inte kunde nå, allt e så vakert från den plats jag står.
Ja tänkte aldrig bli äldre än 30.
Kan tänka tanken än i dag.
För det fanns inget i morgonbitti, du var vägen jag valt att ta.
Men idag kan jag skricka ut, ja idag kan jag skricka ut att jag vill leva livet som att det aldrig nånsin fans nått slut.

The opening lines, "Aldrig saktat ner, allt är påväg" translates to "Never slowed down, everything is on its way." This sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the artist conveying the message that life is a constant journey with ups and downs, but it is important to keep moving forward.

The next line, "Ja jag svär, jag bär på en krigarsjäl," means "Yes, I swear, I carry a warrior's soul." Here, the artist uses the imagery of a warrior to signify strength and resilience in the face of challenges. However, the artist acknowledges that everyone has the potential to falter, saying "För du kan tappa det och du kan sabba det," meaning "Because you can lose it and you can mess it up." Despite this, the artist believes that it is the way we tackle these obstacles that ultimately makes us whole.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the theme of resilience, with the repeated lines "Jag tar mig upp du drar mig ner," meaning "I pick myself up, you pull me down," representing the struggle to stay afloat. However, the song ends on a positive note, with the phrase "Aldrig saktat ner, allt är påväg" being repeated, emphasizing the need to keep moving forward and never give up.

Overall, "Livet" is a powerful and uplifting song about the struggles of life and the importance of perseverance. Its message resonates with listeners and serves as an inspiration to never give up on their dreams and aspirations.

@Schellb Schell if you can't find it, just look at all the labels marked liverwurst and read the labels.

You don't want sugars, corn syrup or anything with the word starch in it. You also don't want corn, soybean, vegetable shortening, vegetable oil, canola oil, peanut oil or any other seed or bean oil.

When in doubt as to the source of something, look it up. Anytime you need to use a prepared item, you want as few ingredients as possible, no more than 5 total.

If there's only avocado, olive or coconut fats, or real butter (made with cream) in something, those are good.

If you like sour cream, daisy is ONLY cultured cream, so its good too.

I LOVE beef liver and onions IF cooked the way I like it.

Slice onions, a LOT of onions, more than you think you need, and sauté in large skillet low and slow in butter or bacon grease or beef tallow, ghee or olive oil whatever works for you. Just make sure to do it low and slow until well caramelized.

Bring a pot of water to a boil put the liver in boiling water to par boil for 1-3 minutes depending on how thick it is, this take out a lot of the super strong taste. Take out and cut into bite sized pieces. Brown liver on all sides then add to skillet with onions. Cook on medium low 10-20 minutes depending on size of pieces of liver and your personal preference of doneness.

This can be for dinner or breakfast. Breakfast either top with fried eggs or you can make a little well in the skillet with the liver and onions and poach your eggs right in there.

Just had it for breakfast yesterday and doing the leftovers for breakfast today.

My mom grew up during the depression and liver, kidney, beef heart was the only meat they could afford. Fortunately, she continued to serve this food to us long after the depression was over! It must be good because she is 99.4 now and has never had a doctor!

@lebeardotnet I had heard that because pigs neither sweat nor have the multiple stomachs of ruminants, they store far more toxins in their fat.

Best liver is from grass fed animal! Little tip: when you put liver in the pan, fry it just a little bit on each side and don't put a salt on it. After is done, I put salt and pepper on it and diced onions with salt and pepper. On top of it I put another batch of liver and so on. If you don't salt liver while preparing it, it will hold juices and taste much better.

i asked a chef about the delicious taste of his roasted liver, he surprised me by telling not to wash the liver, later i came to know that liver is sensitive to oxidation and washing it helps oxidises it via the dissolved oxygen in water.

In Greece liver, especially beef liver, is widely eaten either fried in extra virgin olive oil liberally sprinkled with oregano, or grilled, again sprinkled with oregano and/or accompanied with sautéed onions. In either case it is delicious and we eat it from a very early age, thus we are not adverse to its taste and/or texture; on the contrary we love it! I am glad to hear you say that it is a superfood! One of my (many) culinary surprises when I migrated to the States in the late 60s had to do with my discovery, to my dismay, that liver was not...loved (to put it mildly!) but, dare I say...reviled?
I love it!

We always ate liver growing up. Liver, heart, gizzards and the occasional pork brain. My Mom always called the chicken (or turkey) liver the "cook's piece" and she and I would "fight" over it. LOL! She would split it with me in the end. My husband won't eat it but I try to have some at least once a week. Going to try Neisha's pate recipe soon!
Edited to add: A friend of mine makes some of the BEST Liver and onions. She has the butcher cut the liver 1/2 to 1 inch thick. Cook in bacon grease with a bit of pink in center yet and she cooks the onions separate.

That's right.... you can cook those onions separately, then throw them into the liver to finish up...

I am a vegetarian and my body ask for chicken liver. I think I will eat it more often. It is something that I love to include in my diet once a week. I have been growing up with liver pate, liver slices on bread, liver sausage. In The Netherlands it is used in a lot on bread. I just have to think what else was something i really enjoyed when i was younger. Much love. xx

I'm not vegetarian but I was eating really poorly, and I remember I started craving chicken liver like crazy. I found some pate at the store and ate like 10 liver pate sandwiches in one day lol. After that I finally went to the grocery store and bought chicken livers. I had a full blood test and my doctor said I was very low in vitamin a, which liver contains, plus so many other nutrients. It's helping my hair grow back after I lost a lot last year. It's stopped shedding now and growing baby hairs.

I love them just fried with onions, garlic and butter. In Poland we used to have similar foods. I remember eating a chicken heart when I was 4 years old. Only when I moved to Australia, it was considered weird to eat any animal organs. Now people are realizing it's a superfood. Nature's multivitamin.

I’d really like a fundamental nutrition 101 from dr Berry. As in, how & when to drink water (It recently occurred to me that downing a bunch at once instead of constant sipping over time is better). The more I learn, the more I realize that even some of my basic conceptual understanding of nutrition is critically flawed (or outright missing). As such, I have zero confidence of things that “I’ve known all my life.”

Thanks!!

I can attest... I've eaten desiccated liver from Ancestral Supplements for over a year and recently over the last 3 months or so I've been able to eat fresh natural liver always grass fed... and when I say eat I mean swallow but still from not able to handle the taste to craving it raw... I give that progress to the desiccated pills. Definitely give it a try if you want to take in the most nutrient dense superfood available for human consumption. Thanks Dr. Berry! Another great video!

Calves liver is much milder in flavor and more tender in my opinion, but you can soak your liver in heavy cream for a few hours in the refrigerator. It helps tenderize it and helps tone down the flavor. Onions and lots of bacon 🥓 help too. And you can fry it in the bacon grease to add more flavor and throw on some salt and pepper 😋😋

Dr Berry I love the advice and info you share! Re liver & onions, I've recently been cooking our Keto meats & veg using the Sous Vide method and everything's turning out perfect! There's a few more steps involved, like searing off the meats once cooked because there's no yummy crust when cooking SV. I bought calf live at Fry's (Kroger) and was pleased to see it was already sliced thin and vac packed so I just put them in the hot water as is. Today I reheated the liver in some onions I SV'd, butter, and Marsala wine. MELTED IN MY MOUTH! If you try this let me know what you think.
PS, I even ordered liver & onions on our honeymoon 31 yrs ago! ... My new hubby thought that was gross! 😂

Been doing IF/Keto for several months now; I've added so many things to my menu that I hated in the past. Raw onions is a biggie: when I lost insulin sensitivity, my flavor profile changed. I can taste a trace of sugar in any food without blinking an eye, even a couple grams in beef jerky. Liver is something that I've never been interested in, but suspect I'd love in now. Planning on making a trip to Bristol farms for some grass fed liver and some free fat from the friendly butcher.

I eat calf liver 2-3x a week now since being Carnivore for over 3 months. I never liked it before, and now I love it. I prefer calf liver due to a higher vitamin A content which is specific to my needs. I highly recommend it. It's easy to mix into meatballs and the flavor is actually quite subtle if cooked right. I use cheese, eggs, and a dash of heavy cream to mix it all in. Sometimes I add bacon too. Love it!

Another good one Doc. When growing up, my mother fixed beef liver, gravy and mashed potatoes often for Sunday dinner so I love the taste of it. Great in an omelet or fried in bacon grease. After listening to this I just put some out from the freezer to have tomorrow. Thanks.

Louise Horsfall

Is it OK to have a liver meal once a week or are we much better spreading it through the week? It depends on how long our bodies can hold onto the nutrition. I often hear about having x amount per day or 2 servings per week. Just wondering what's optimum and how much your body can absorb from a larger meal (like 200g of liver per time)

Dr. Berry: many are out of work now and this crisis is going to last for at least the next few years. Organ meats are often a great deal, while being very densely packed with nutrition. Yet another example is chicken hears/gizzards. I hope you can provide more 'low-budget' examples of good choices.

Here's one: ALDI lately has been selling 5 lb. tubes of (unfrozen- not the stuff in the freezer which is kind of lousy) 73/27 ground beef for $8.65, which is like $1.73/lb, and it is as tasty as any hamburger I know of and I've tried it all. When I see it, I back up the truck.

I've discovered that I'm sensitive to onions, but cooking either chicken or beef liver in extra virgin olive oil. It's great dipped in egg, coated in seasoned almond flour, and pan fried. Try Old Bay Seasoning as the almond flour seasoning for chicken livers. Delicious!

Claire Anderson Graham Kellerman

Yay! Thank you. I need recipes to get this organic, free-range chicken liver cooked and eaten. I can sense the depth of nutrition. Glad to hear your insights.

Liverwurst is handy for me and try to have it at least once a day with my low carb toast.

I'd just tried raw ox liver for the first time, diced into very small pieces with some redmond sea salt with a table spoon. It wasn't great, then I tried a second tablespoon and it wasn't as bad, the third time I just chewed lightly and swollowed about 15grams no problem. Lightly salted helped.

I thought no way would I get used to eating liver. I almost threw up trying to get it down but after a couple weeks I noticed that I was actually craving it for my meat choice. Over ground turkey! It’s crazy! But what you said is spot on and I can say so myself.

Cassandra, try to purchase liver from a butcher/farmer that sells organic beef. It is so delicious and you'll know that only the best has been fed to these non-feed lot animals. I thinly slice the liver, coat it in a bit of flour (hold the comments on keto everyone), slap it into a sizzling hot pan and flip over after a couple mins... have thinly - sliced onions ready to throw in once you've flipped .... a few more mins and you're finished .... We were so poor as children, but a feast of this, served with mashed spuds (hold the keto comments ;);) ), we felt like royalty.....

jillf24

I actually bought the supplement today-before watching this video-The owner even emailed me and we chatted about what I needed. Amazon had the pills to me the same day! Now I just need to start them slowly bc I just started carnivore today. I can promise you I will never eat Liver "as is". My mother loved Liver and onions, but I just cannot bring myself to eat it!!

It's helped me with my dieting especially when I'd hit a wall and couldn't lose an ounce for a couple of weeks it would jumpstart my diet allowing me to start losing pounds again.

I enjoy liver and have eaten it since I was a child. At first, it was chicken liver only but I quickly learned that I enjoyed all types of liver. My family hunted so I had a variety of liver.

I love liver! I grew up eating it. Now I eat it in so many different ways: fried with lots of onions, liver chili (instead using ground beef you can put slices of liver),liver red wine stew, liver goulash, fried liver tacos or just a tradicional paté with liver and bacon. So my recommendation: be creative!

Liver pate for the WIN! I make it every week now! I hadn't eaten it in 40 years, but after being on the proper human diet for about a year, I decided to try it. Yummy! I dip sea salt & pepper pork rinds into liver pate for breakfast. Best result: My dreams have become like movies! Sometimes I get to see several movies in one night! Clearly my brain is healing more and more all the time. Liver also staves off cravings for sweet things. It's wonderful.

Liver goes well with bacon and a little fried onion, also great with a traditional English breakfast - egg, sausage, bacon. Frying liver for just a few minutes keeps it tender, cooked too long it gets a bit chewy, but it's a real fast meal to make - no more than 10 minutes from turning on the cooker.

Great stuff mate, I love liver. Try this Ken, mix heated ghee with rosemary, cut long strips of thin sliced liver and add it to a bowl with the herbal ghee, mix and then BBQ, it tastes fantastic, it's a great snack as well.

I don't know it's placebo but I take 6 capsules of dehydrated liver from New Zealand every night. Got it on Amazon. Feel like a million bucks and notice difference when I stop taking it. Again, could be placebo, but I feel like this has helped me tremendously over two years keto/carnivore.

I've always hated regular liver but I like liverwurst occasionally. I read the label now to make sure I don't get high fructose corn syrup, like the nasty Kahn's we all grew up seeing in the yellow wrapping.

While that's the most prominent brand, there are a few others. I just read labels until I found a brand without that crap.

The price isn't bad either. I've found both at Walmart in the dairy section (just read labels to find a good product- I even managed to find quality hot dogs made with literally only beef water and spices)

Thanks for another informative video Dr. Berry. I'm gong to get some liverwurst when I go shopping. I can't do any other kind of liver because I was one of those kids in the 60's that sat at the table in front of a plate of liver until it was time to go to bed because I wouldn't eat it. I'm scarred :)

Hi Dr Ken! Could you please make a video on cooking time for organ meats? Does pressure cooking destroy all the nutrients?

Cod liver—the actual liver, not the oil— tastes awesome! Until recently I didn't even know you could buy the livers of cod. When I learned you could, I felt a bit nervous about trying it. In fact, the tins sat in my pantry for two months while I gathered my courage. Then I found out that it's considered a delicacy in Scandinavia and that other places in Europe regard it as the poor man's foie gras. So I opened up a tin, and wow was I pleasantly surprised. The texture and taste are both beautifully delicate. Now I have to limit myself to one tin every other day, because I don't want to burn through my supplies too quickly. Also...I am a little worried that eating two tins a day really might deliver too much vitamin A. I know Dr. Berry said that eating any liver you buy in a store 5 times a week was safe, but he didn't say that eating it 14 times a week was safe, and I fear that if I let myself go, I might eat that much! :D

J.M. Ney-Grimm

@Corn_Turd I buy mine from Amazon, because the local supply where live is very erratic. I keep an eye on the Amazon price, because it fluctuates a lot. I don't want to pay $42 for a dozen! When it comes down to $36 for a dozen tins, I buy it immediately.

Hi Dr Berry! I cooked up some beef liver with pink Himalayan salt in a pressure cooker and found it got oxidized with a green tint so I guess beef liver/ any copper rich food shouldn't be cooked or seasoned with pink Himalayan salt....you could check this out yourself

Tip for liver haters who wish they didn't: Try ordering it in a restaurant. They usually know how to do it well, and you might acquire a taste for it. Dr. Berry is right. Try it again.

Turtle Man

Yes! I grew up in a meat eating house(hunters too), but dad NEVER made liver. Then, when I was in the USAF chow hall, I saw it, it looked like steak, with gravy+bacon on top. I tried it. LOVED IT! Since then, I used to eat my deer's heart+liver, but I must have cooked the liver wrong 1 time(still eat the heart!), got sick, and will never cook it again. HOWEVER, I always order liver w/bacon+ gravy in a resturant! Ppl think I'm nuts or cheap, but they KNOW how to cook it right! I just started buying chicken livers+ hearts from an Amish farmer's market. Only $2 per pound, as of 4/30/22!!

Hello, I really like this video and think it’s very informative. I had a question just in case you do happen to see this. I have ordered and received grass fed beef liver from wholesome wellness, with the intentions of taking it for it’s vitamins, nutrients and amino acids. Well, today I started reading about vitamin A toxicity and it’s scaring me a little… I also have a multivitamin, so at this point I don’t know if I should take them both together I don’t even know if the beef liver is safe, why does it seem that everywhere I look says that this high amount of preformed vitamin a is very toxic for us? It almost doesn’t make sense to me. But if you could help me out I would highly appreciate that, thank you sir

I happen to love liver, and just started eating it again. For the past few weeks, I've been consuming about a pound of beef liver a week, usually in two servings over two days. Is that healthy or too much? I am a 57 year old woman, 5' 4", 170 lbs. I hope to hear from you, Dr. Berry! Thank you.

Can you discuss the fad of eating frozen raw liver pills. I've read that freezing 14 days deactivates pathogens, but won't eating it raw give a chance to reactivate the pathogens once they warm in the digestive tract? Or are our digestive enzymes and processes considered sufficient to prevent food born pathogenic illnesses from consuming raw frozen liver??

Question for you doc. I only recently found that one of the many ingredients of desiccated beef liver are the enzymes Cytochrome P450 and allies. I understand these enzymes contain powerful antioxidant benefits to include removing many drugs and toxins. Would Cytochrome P450 interfere with my blood pressure medications? I have started using the liver tabs again for bodybuilding and overall health with excellent results. Thank you.

I eat 3 oz of beef liver every other day. I puree it in a smoothie machine (with a whole egg w/shell and bone broth), mix it in a pan with grass fed ground beef, salt liberally and you don't even taste the liver. It tastes delicious. I feel so freaking good when I eat this.

@Ari Bernays If you just put a slice of liver in the blender it won't be liquidy enough to mix with the ground beef, so I add an egg and some bone broth. I use the eggshell because it's a great source of calcium and other nutrients, and the blender chops the shell into tiny bits which add just a little crunch to the beef, but you don't have to do this.

Ari Bernays

Omg I want to try this. I’m just a bit confused what you mean by purée in a smoothie machine with whole egg with shell and bone broth... if you could elaborate I would be so honored! I gotta get liver in my diet and I have a feeling you nailed it!! Thanks in advance !!

I was looking more at soaking liver in milk first and someone commented that the calcium in milk will bind with the iron in the liver and make it less nutritious. I'd be really interested to know more. I'll have a look myself but perhaps an idea for a video?

Apparently you need to have heaps of calcium to offset heme iron. But a small amount of calcium blocks non-heme.

I am one who just the thought of liver turned my stomach BUT I just found a farm that has grass fed and finished meats. I got some chicken liver and tried it. I actually liked it. Found a recipe that says soak it in apple cider vinegar overnight, rinse it off, add salt, pepper and garlic powder and fry in lots of bacon grease. I only did a couple because I didn't know if I could eat it but I loved it. It was crispy on the outside and no liver taste. Was a great little snack

My mom used to serve liver and onions 3-4 times a month, and they told me it was steak when I was little, so I kind of like it. Back then it was important that food be nutritious.

Pro Answers

Food turned into convenience through artificial processing: back then, now and probably in the future. Nutrition is still misunderstood, misused, overly marketed based on economics NOT nutritional value. Research Earl Butz one of the worst secretary of agriculture in US history whom drove corn prices up and greatly produced the start of high corn fructose and other sugars in convinence "so called nutritional" food (tv dinner) process foods. History repeats itself in agriculture there's no balance, because humans dont question the source or know the source.
