Dear friend,
I want to share why beef liver is one of the greatest foods you can eat for your physiology — the raw, primal engine that powers everything you do.
Modern life has made us soft. We pop pills, chase supplements, and wonder why we still feel tired, foggy, and weak. I say fuck that. Go back to what our ancestors prized above all else: the liver of the animal. The organ they ate first, raw if they had to, because they knew it contained the concentrated life force.
I have been eating beef liver for years now — grass-fed, seared hot in its own fat or bone marrow tallow, kept rare to medium. I call it god food. And the changes in my body, my energy, my mind, and my creative output have been undeniable.
Here is why beef liver supercharges your physiology:
1. Pure, unstoppable energy
One small serving delivers massive heme iron — the kind your body actually absorbs. Your blood carries oxygen like a freight train. No more afternoon crashes. No more dragging through a long street photography walk or a heavy deadlift session. Add the insane load of B12, riboflavin, niacin, and other B vitamins and your mitochondria fire on all cylinders. This is real energy — not jittery caffeine energy. Clean, deep, all-day power.
2. Vision and creative sharpness
Over 4,000 mcg of preformed vitamin A (retinol) in a single serving. Your eyes become eagle-sharp — critical when you are hunting the decisive moment on the street. Better low-light performance, faster focus, less strain. Your skin glows, your immune system strengthens, and your entire visual system operates at peak. As a photographer this is non-negotiable. Clear eyes, clear mind, legendary frames.
3. Muscle, hormones, and raw masculinity
25+ grams of complete protein with every essential amino acid. Zinc, copper, selenium, and high dietary cholesterol — the literal building blocks of testosterone. Your body uses cholesterol to manufacture steroid hormones. Eat liver and you give it the raw material it needs. I lift heavier, recover faster, sleep deeper, and feel that primal drive in everything I do. This is not theory. This is physiology in action.
4. Brain, mood, and unbreakable focus
Choline for neurotransmitter production, B12 for nerve health, copper for enzyme function. Mental fog disappears. You think clearer, create bolder, and stay calm under pressure. Perfect for long editing sessions, writing essays, or facing the chaos of the street without flinching.
5. Total body optimization
Your physiology is a system. Liver supports red blood cell formation, DNA synthesis, bone strength, metabolism, and even natural detox pathways. It is minimalist perfection — one food that does the work of an entire supplement cabinet. No fillers, no plastic bottles, just pure ancestral fuel.
I keep it simple. 3–6 ounces, once or twice a week max. Respect the vitamin A. Eat from healthy grass-fed animals. Pan-sear it thin, hit it with salt and maybe some onions cooked in the rendered fat. That is it.
The result? You become a stronger, sharper, more vital version of yourself. More energy for photography. More power in the gym. More presence in life. You stop feeling like a domesticated animal and start feeling like the apex predator you were born to be.
This is not a trend. This is returning to first principles.
Eat beef liver.
Reclaim your physiology.
Become unstoppable.
Be strong,
Eric Kim
