Publisher's summary

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

MD Pushback

My MD pushed back on my CGM, this came to a conclusion last week while I was on chapter 4 of Good Energy-I had to take a diagnosis of Type 2, despite 5.4 A1C so my insurance would cover this. Im pushing back.

Be Brave and Decide

Listen, read, re-read, and take notes if you want to take back your ability to flourish and succeed. You know much of the information either through knowledge, experience, or intuition.

Great Listen

Love the work Casey and Calley are doing. This book goes a long way to help educate you on how to become metabolically healthy and its benefits. I was however a bit surprised with little to no attention to the Oxalate levels of some of the recommended veggies. All in all, great book!

Drinking the koolaide

Great Book. I think she makes her case and I’m making some changes. Highly recommended.

Life Changing

Very enlightening book explaining how to live your very best life. By consuming the best foods for our bodies so we can function at peak through exercise, good habits and proper sleep.

Powerful Resource

Dr. Means presented her research and experience in such an understandable and supportive way. I highly recommend this book!

Get ready to be motivated!

One of the fastest audiobooks I’ve listened to. It’s very engaging and motivating to understand more reasons to eat healthy, spend time outside, get good sleep and incorporate many other good habits. There are parts of this audiobook near the end that are probably better in print format. So I bought the print book as well! I’m looking forward to implementing (many of) Dr. Means’ teachings and habits. Thank you!

Eye opening!

This book was full of information that is so eye opening! Go in with an open mind. It was an eye opener!

Passionate focused, transformative message

Dr means is a voice for our Movement to reclaim health for every American
Having personally research for 12 years, how to help chronically sick people I affirmed this work as a clear voice for real change

Life changing

This is an epic book. The perfect blend of inspiration, science, and practical advice on how to change your life. The author has the courage to go against the mainstream orthodoxies of the healthcare industry.
