I just finished reading Casey Means, MD and her brother’s (Calley Means) book called Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health. (Casey is the Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of Levels Health, a metabolic health company that empowers individuals to radically optimize their health and wellbeing by providing real-time continuous glucose biofeedback.)
This book is so easy to understand for those of us without a science background. In her book, Good Energy, Casey brings to light the connection between our lifestyle choices and our energy levels. The book suggests actionable strategies to improve wellness, increase vitality, and achieve a balanced, energized life through mindful living.
Here are some of the key points from Good Energy:
- Cellular energy dysfunction
Casey emphasizes the importance of addressing cellular energy dysfunction. Almost every health problem today can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. Chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer can be reduced with better approaches that Casey describes in her book.
- Holistic approach and Biomarkers
Casey advocates for a holistic approach that focuses on diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors and explains the five biomarkers that help us see where risks exists in our bodies.
- Practical steps
Casey gives doable steps to improve metabolic health which includes recipes.
- Monitoring metabolic health
Casey explains how to monitor metabolic health in detail using inexpensive tools and technology.
- Mitochondria
Casey explains how mitochondria, which are the parts of cells that make energy, can combine with inflammation to create obesity and other inflammation in our bodies.
I underlined many lines in the book. I enjoyed learning how our bodies work in words that I could understand! If you would like to discuss how you can feel more energized, please contact me. We can work together to make you feel like you can tackle and enjoy any adventure that is in front of you:)
