James Barry went from cooking for Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Gerard Butler and Barbra Streisand to sneaking liver, heart, kidney, pancreas and spleen into everyday food as the founder of Pluck.We get into beef vs. bison vs. elk organs, grass-fed vs. grain-finished, which organs actually taste best, culinary applications for the weirdest parts of the animal, fatherhood, leaving Portland, his first impressions of Boulder - and whether Pluck might someday involve bison or elk.I also loaded James up with Tribe Vitamins samples: bison liver, heart, kidney, pancreas and spleen, elk liver + heart, elk velvet antler, Femur Creamer and more. Tribe Vitamins currently specializes in 100% grass-fed bison organs and North American elk products.And apparently morning sun is still the best sunscreen. ☀️😂Links:James: https://eatpluck.comDaniel: https://tribevitamins.comBreaking Normal with James Barry: where celebrity chef meets ancestral nutrition, and beef finally has to defend itself against bison.
After being brought to a health reset by Lyme disease and mold exposure, Caden Zrubek wasn’t sure he’d have the bandwidth to coherently share his story.I’m grateful he did.What unfolded wasn’t just a conversation about health—it became a conversation about synchronicity, resilience, intuition, and learning to design a life that’s aligned with nature instead of constantly fighting against it.Caden and I retrace the unlikely chain of events that brought us together—from meeting at the Boulder Creek sauna, to me renting his truck, to my old #YoUberTube interviews years before we really knew each other, to a string of synchronicities that neither of us can fully explain.Today, Caden wakes up with the sunrise, structures his life around circadian biology, and helps others reconnect with their health by focusing on light, movement, environment, and the body’s innate ability to heal.In this episode we explore:Recovering from Lyme disease and mold exposureWhy conventional medicine wasn’t enough for his healing journeyBecoming your own doctor—and where modern medicine, personal responsibility, and God each fit into the healing processWhether “God as the doctor” and nature as medicine offer something modern healthcare often overlooksThe hidden impact of artificial light and our modern environmentWhy morning sunlight may be one of the most powerful forms of medicineThe surprising synchronicities that shaped both of our livesBuilding a truly “dialed” lifestyleWhy health begins with your environment long before it begins with supplementsFollow Caden:Instagram: @caden_zrubekDialed Lifestyle: dialedlifestyle.comBioSpectral Systems: biospectralsystems.comIf you want to “get your hunt on” like Caden, check out the 100% grass-fed bison organs and bison tallow balm from Tribe Vitamins:tribevitamins.com
Adam Roa returns to The Breaking Normal Podcast to celebrate the release of his new book, Crazy Love, but this conversation quickly goes far beyond poetry.We dive into modern dating, "heartbreak", vulnerability, masculinity, authenticity, and one surprisingly memorable question: Can you have a boner… and cry at the same time?From the illusion of choice created by dating apps to why heartbreak can become one of life’s greatest teachers, this episode explores what happens when we stop performing and start telling the truth.We also discuss:Why every breakup might actually be a gift.The one question everyone should ask on a first date.The biggest problem with modern dating.Why creating emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual safety is the foundation of both healthy relationships and raising healthy children.How Adam’s daily practice keeps him grounded.The difference between chasing approval and becoming addicted to authenticity.Why what’s most personal often becomes the most universal.The tension between living from your history versus living toward mystery.Following your biology instead of your conditioning.Why I stopped showering… and why Adam thought I was taking tanning peptides.Why Adam is now officially a fan of edible bison tallow—and yes, we also talk about freeze-dried bison testicles and optimizing fertility before having children.

My daughter Divina joined us in the studio as one of our live audience members for a conversation that quickly moved beyond words.David Sauvé is a holistic lifestyle guide, breath and bodyworker, and founder of the Quantum Soma Method. We talk about how we first met at Eben G. Fine Park in Boulder, and the synchronicities that continued unfolding through Tribe Vitamins, 100 Sundays, breathwork and Network Spinal Analysis.Years ago, David found himself near the end of his rope—living in mold, nearly losing the vision in his right eye and carrying the effects of anger, sexual trauma and a childhood in which connecting with other people did not come naturally. At his roommate’s suggestion, he decided to try Network Spinal Analysis.Over the following year, something began coming online.David was already a dancer, but the way he danced began to change. His body became more fluid, expressive and awakened. He describes a new energy blossoming from his spine like a flower—and almost exactly one year later, the vision in his right eye returned.That experience, and everything that happened between those two points, became part of the foundation for the work he now offers through Quantum Soma: combining breathwork, spinal attunement, movement, presence and nervous-system integration to help people reconnect with their bodies and move energy that may have been held for years. But what does “moving energy” actually mean?We go directly into the territory that can appear from the outside like an exorcism, an orgasm—or both. David helps bridge the gap between how this work looks and what may actually be happening internally.We also explore:* Why speaking can be a form of prayer and listening a form of meditation* What God, consciousness and energy mean beyond inherited definitions* How David went from an extremely awkward skateboarder who would punch kids in the balls and run away to someone who is still plenty weird—but definitely more capable of connecting and communicating with other people* The relationship between trauma, the nervous system, breath and spontaneous movement* David’s offer to give me a session that may be impossible to explain without experiencing it* How I held my breath for more than five minutes—and David held his for more than tenThis conversation is an invitation to listen with more than your ears.Because perhaps speaking is praying.And listening is meditating.Connect with David Sauvé:Instagram: @davidsauve_embodiedQuantum Soma Method: @quantum_soma_methodWebsite: QuantumSomaMethod.comExplore Tribe Vitamins:TribeVitamins.com
Would you be willing to harvest the animal you eat… or would you rather pay someone else to do it?Ryan Dumville joins the Breaking Normal Podcast after a life-changing black bear hunt in Colorado that completely reshaped the way he sees life, death, food, gratitude, and purpose.What began as a hunting story became a conversation about sacred responsibility.From there, we connect Ryan’s experience to a plant medicine ceremony in Costa Rica with previous Breaking Normal guest Cheyenne Carter, the Lakota bison harvest behind Tribe Vitamins, the home birth of my daughter Divina, and why the portals of birth and death may be some of the most sacred experiences humans can witness.We also explore: 🦬 Why hunting may actually be more ethical than buying anonymous grocery store meat 🐻 The spiritual lessons hidden inside a bear hunt 🌿 Plant medicine, visions, and the birth of Ryan’s upcoming Arrow & Altar hunting retreats 🙏 Gratitude from harvest to plate 🪶 The sacredness of harvesting animals with intention 🏹 Why modern hunting can reconnect us to nature instead of separating us from itThis isn’t simply an episode about hunting.It’s an episode about remembering we comes from—and what responsibility really looks like.➡️ Follow Ryan Dumville and learn more about his upcoming Arrow & Altar retreats: @rdumville➡️ Get your modern-day hunt on at TribeVitamins.com — 100% grass-fed, grass-finished American bison organs
