Why Organ Meats Are “Performance Fuel” with Aleks Rybchinskiy

In the latest episode of the Biohacker Babes podcast, guest Aleks Rybchinskiy brings a fresh and powerful perspective on nutrition, healing, and holistic performance. As a Master CHEK Practitioner and somatic therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience , Aleks takes us beyond conventional wellness into the root-cause terrain of health.

Here are the major take-aways you’ll want to remember.

1. Micronutrient Density Matters

Aleks argues that most of us focus on macronutrients (protein, fat, carbs) but overlook the vital micro-nutrients housed in organ meats. He breaks down how beef liver and heart are rich in vitamin A, B12, choline, iron and zinc — nutrients critical for energy, mental clarity and recovery.

He explains that making these foods convenient (his company was built around that principle) is a key step toward performance and longevity.

2. Labels Can Mislead

Grass-fed. Pasture-raised. Finished. These terms sound good, but Aleks points out many food labels exploit loopholes and marketing slickness. He urges listeners to ask the right questions, trace the supply chain and ensure truly regenerative sourcing. The quality of animal product matters just as much as the quantity we eat.

3. The Body Is an Integrated System

One of the most memorable moments: Aleks illustrates how emotional trauma, movement patterns and nutrition all feed into physical symptoms. For example he shares case studies where chronic joint pain resolved when deeper emotional work occurred. The message: You cannot separate body from mind, diet from experience, or movement from meaning.

4. Clean Food + Intentional Movement = Impact

Aleks emphasizes that nutrition is foundational but not alone. Movement, breathwork, recovery and relationship to food must all align. He uses the metaphor of “running software on broken hardware” to describe how throwing workouts and snacks at unresolved systems won’t fix deeper issues.

5. Tune in to Real-World Application

Some actionable takeaways from the episode include:

• Incorporate organ-rich foods 1-2 times per week for mental clarity and micronutrient support
• Use “check-in” methods (sleep, mood, HRV) rather than chasing metrics alone
• Choose snacks built from whole food, not additives or fillers
• Build relationships and movement practices that support emotional release and resilience

Why This Matters for You

If you’re training hard, living active, or simply prioritizing strong health and clear thinking, this episode is a call to level up. The days of “just more protein” are over — what your cells really crave is nutrient richness, movement with purpose and a system that supports your whole self.

For us at BERSKI, this conversation reinforces why we built our ancestral beef sticks with 25% beef liver and 5% beef heart to deliver more than just fuel. It’s about real nourishment for mind, body and purpose.
