Good Energy

The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health

De: Casey Means MD, Calley Means

Narrado por: Casey Means MD

A bold new vision for optimizing our health now and in the future

What if depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, dementia, cancer and many other health conditions that torture and shorten our lives actually have the same root cause?

Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions—and feel incredible today—is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function—the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this groundbreaking book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our physical and mental wellbeing.

If you are battling minor signals of “bad energy” inside your body, it is often a warning sign that more life-threatening illness may emerge later in life. But here’s the good news: for the first time ever, we can monitor our metabolic health in great detail and learn how to improve it ourselves.

Weaving together cutting-edge research and personal stories, as well as groundbreaking data from the health technology company Dr. Means founded, Good Energy offers an essential four-week plan and explains:

• The five biomarkers that determine your risk for a deadly disease.
• How to use inexpensive tools and technology to “see inside your body” and take action.
• Why dietary philosophies are designed to confuse us, and six lifelong food principles you can implement whether you’re carnivore or vegan.
• The crucial links between sleep, circadian rhythm, and metabolism
• A new framework for exercise focused on building simple movement into everyday activities
• How cold and heat exposure helps build our body’s resilience
• Steps to navigate the medical system to get what you need for optimal health

Good Energy offers a new, cutting-edge understanding of the true cause of illness that until now has remained hidden. It will help you optimize your ability to live well and stay well at every age.

* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF containing Part 3: The Good Energy Plan and Part 4: Good Energy Recipes from the book.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A tour de force on how metabolism underpins most major diseases and what we can do to feel better and live longer. Everyone will benefit from reading Good Energy.”—Mark Hyman, MD, 15x New York Times bestselling author and senior advisor for Cleveland Clinic for Functional Medicine

“Here are the keys to the kingdom for regaining and maintaining optimal health.”—David Perlmutter, MD, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Grain Brain and Drop Acid

“Good Energy is a powerful vision for a brighter future—for both people and the planet. Dr. Means presents an empowering action plan for health of the mind, body, and spirit that everyone can benefit from.”—Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times bestselling author and host of the On Purpose podcast

Evidence-based insights on healthy eating.

Everyone should read the first 2/3 of the book to gain strength to live healthy, and understand the necessity for systemic change in US health care protocols. The final 1/3 plays into stereotypes that only new agers live right, and may offend people of Jewish and Christian faith.

Great to motivate health habits that avoid disease

Dr. Means' personal stories from inside the medical-pharma-insurance system are an alarming warning to question everything an MD tells you, take charge of your own lab tests and interpretations, and what you decide will be done to your body. She describes what my wife saw when she worked as a Registered Dietitian and why she left the profession. It is stunningly corrupt that Medicare and Medicaid will not pay for even 15 minutes of diet counseling for cancer patients when it's a metabolic disease in which high blood glucose feeds cancer cells. If enough people take this guidance to heart it could somehow revolutionize the system. Listening to the stories of people misled by doctors, I am thinking about dear friends who might still be alive had they been empowered with this book to get to the root cause of their disease rather than go along with "Standard of Care". It helps you feel compassion for doctors stuck in such a corrupt system. I have a pretty good doctor--it seems like I make his day when I demand additional lab tests and refuse drugs.

A Must-Read for Health and Wellness. WOW.

Beautifully and passionately narrated (normally I don’t like the authors reading but this was wonderful!). Some uniquely shocking and disheartening observations about how broken the American healthcare system is, but overall an optimistic and empowering message. I especially liked some of the more philosophical parts about death, awe, abundance, fear, nature, etc which read almost like poetry! I hope this book gets in as many people’s hands/ears as possible.

America needs this.

Great book. I personally don’t like Bluetooth wearables, and have found it better for me personally to avoid almond flour and abundance of cauliflower, but everything else is solid.

Actionable plan to live a healthier life!

I’ve read a lot of health books over the last few years but felt like this one had more actionable next steps that I could take to live a healthier life. Favorite part was how to decode blood test.

Simply stellar!

Dr. Casey Means is a gift to humanity! I can’t say enough about the revelatory inside information she provides as someone so deep in the system and has managed to escape its grasp and then inform us all! Already printed out the materials and analyzed my latest blood work.
THIS IS A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE IN THE WORLD!

the Spirit of this book!

Nothing...there was nothing to dislike in this book...even if you aren't it total agreement with everything presented.

So good!

This book is incredible. It did a great job of explaining the science, offering real life stories and examples, as well as delving into the metaphysical aspects of health, wellness and reality. Re-listening to it immediately, sharing with those I love.

Inspiring and Powerful

This book is wonderful and wise, giving us all important and relevant information that not only could save our lives but can increase the enjoyment and quality of this precious gift we all have. A must read. Just be ready to be surprised by what she says.

The Choice is Ours: Authentic or Artificial Health

What stood out to me most is the clear delineation and differences between what our bodies need to sustain “Good Energy” naturally versus what we’re being offered and programmed to accept artificially. I really appreciate the degree and depth of their insights and inspiration provided to their listeners and readers! Great work!
