Bear Grylls Says Organ Meats Helped His Family ‘Thrive’ After Ditching Vegan Diet
Plant Based News • Aug 15, 2026
Bear Grylls shared that eating organ meats helped his family thrive after giving up their vegan diets in favor of a more ancestral approach to nutrition. Grylls mentioned that veganism had negative impacts on his health and appearance, leading him to believe that natural foods, including meat and organs, were essential for optimal health based on our evolutionary history.
Grylls has embraced a biohacking lifestyle and launched a health supplement brand, Modern Savage, featuring organ-based products. Despite Grylls' claims, there is growing evidence contradicting the health benefits of a meat-heavy diet. Furthermore, the biohacking industry's rapid growth is driven by profit rather than evidence-based health advice, as seen with Grylls' expensive supplement range and related events, promoting a costly approach to health optimization.
