Good Energy by Casey Means, MD

"Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health" by Dr. Casey Means is a groundbreaking book that delves into the critical role of metabolic health in our overall well-being. Dr. Means, co-founder of the health tech company Levels, outlines how many chronic conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, infertility, and even mental health disorders like depression and anxiety, all stem from the same underlying cause—poor metabolic function.

In this eye-opening book, Dr. Means explains how optimizing metabolic health can transform not only how we feel today but also prevent life-threatening illnesses later on. Through cutting-edge research, real-life case studies, and personal stories, she provides readers with a clear understanding of how the body produces and uses energy. She emphasizes the importance of creating "good energy" in the body, which stems from a well-functioning metabolism that can impact every aspect of our mental and physical health.

"Good Energy" also provides a four-week health plan that helps readers monitor five key biomarkers: waist size, cholesterol levels, fasting glucose, blood pressure, and sleep. These biomarkers can predict and prevent the development of chronic diseases. Dr. Means integrates advice on nutrition, sleep hygiene, exercise, and stress management into a simple, actionable framework. Whether you're trying to adopt better eating habits, improve your sleep, or find balance through movement and mindfulness, Good Energy offers a comprehensive guide to achieving lasting vitality.

One of the book’s highlights is its ability to connect complex scientific concepts with practical strategies, making it accessible to readers from all walks of life. Dr. Means introduces tools like Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) and dietary principles that can be applied regardless of whether you follow a vegan or carnivorous diet. Her approach focuses on long-term lifestyle changes that are easy to incorporate into daily life, instead of relying on temporary diets or quick fixes.

The book also touches on broader societal issues like the role of big food industries, pharmaceuticals, and the medical system in shaping public health. It’s a call to action for people to take control of their health by understanding how their bodies function at a cellular level and using that knowledge to make empowered choices.
