About this episode
In this episode, Tim and Sophie interview Chef James Barry, founder and owner of Pluck! Chef James discusses his culinary journey which began as a private chef for Tom Cruise, Gerard Butler and George Clooney to name a few. Instead of adapting his cooking to particular diets, he opened up his clients' palates to enjoying nourishing, whole foods using animal fats and butter. Chef James loves to think outside the box and is fascinated with how we as humans can make changes to improve health by making minor daily shifts in how we eat to retrain our brain to slow down as we eat so that we can enjoy the meal and allow our body the time to digest. He is a believer of listening to our bodies and being in tune with what we eat and knowing where it comes from. Chef James dispels the myth that you have to eat organic and grass fed all the time. Instead, he places more emphasis on intentional eating and putting in positive energy to what we eat. This led him to creating his company Pluck which is a quick and easy way to introduce your loved ones to organ based foods by sprinkling it on your foods as a seasoning. Tune in to this fascinating discussion as we go beyond gourmet dishes and mainstream diets to discover what it takes to eat intentionally and be healthier.
