👉In this week’s Nutrivore Newsletter, we talked about vitamin A as an important nutrient for thyroid health; liver as such a concentrated food source of vitamin A (plus many more vitamins and minerals) that we have to be careful not to eat it too frequently to avoid vitamin A toxicity; good plant food sources of vitamin A if liver is not your thing; the strategy of hiding nutrient-dense ingredients (like liver!) from ourselves as adults; and I shared my recipe for Hidden Liver Meatballs if you want to eat liver but don’t want to taste it!

Because this week’s Free Newsletter talked about how vitamin A supports thyroid health, I want to share this downloadable handy-dandy 2-page Vitamin A Fun Factsheet as a perk for my paid subscribers. And, because liver is the best food source of vitamin A, I’m sharing one of my favorite ways to enjoy it without having to taste it, a downloadable version of my recipe for Hidden Liver Meatballs.

📥Just for paid subscribers, your Companion Downloads this week are:

  • Vitamin A Fun Factsheet - This 2-page PDF guide summarizes all the most important information about what vitamin A does, top food sources, and how much we need for each demographic group.

  • Hidden Liver Meatballs Recipe - A beautifully-designed PDF version of this week’s recipe that you can save or print out, to build your own personalized Nutrivore Cookbook week by week.
