Individuals may become deficient in nutrients like riboflavin, vitamin A, and folate if they exclusively consume muscle meat, highlighting the necessity of organ meats.

“if we are getting enough riboflavin even you and I Jamie who both are homozygous for MTHFR polymorphisms can have an MTHFR enzyme that functions normally with robust amount of riboflavin on the order of 2 to 3 milligrams per day which is the amount in about 3 ounces of liver or kidney”

“there's pretty good evidence you can get ample amounts of folate and biotin and riboflavin if you're eating nose-to-tail”

“i have an mthfr polymorphism my homocysteine will be high if i don't eat organs that happen before i was a carnivore but i don't need to take methyl folate because i eat the organs you should not take methyl folate you should eat nose to tail”

“and if you leave out the organs you're not going to get enough folate or enough riboflavin or enough bites and that's what i worry about meat is super nutritious but the organs are what complete the picture and certainly what our ancestors were always doing”

“now Michaela's including liver in her diet and I think that's going to improve her folate status massively now why do we need folate well any woman that's thinking about conceiving needs foliates we know that folate deficiency is connected with neural tube defects and so folate is also essential for methylation which drives so many reactions hundreds of reactions in our bodies”

“so Michaela Peterson recently posted on her social media that she was fully deficient something that I'd been telling her for years and saying was going to be a problem she was also probably deficient in riboflavin vitamin A and other things that are not found in muscle meat”
