Dr. Casey Means is a Stanford trained physician and co-founder of Levels, a health technology company with the mission of reversing the world's metabolic health crisis. She trained in head and neck surgery before leaving traditional medicine to devote her life to tackling the root cause of why Americans are sick.

She’s also the author of the upcoming book Good Energy: The Surprising Connection between Metabolism and Limitless Health.

In this conversation, Dr. Means explains how we can use metabolic health tools and strategies to support our own wellness and that of our children and families. She discusses why metabolism is crucial to our health, evaluates the seven pillars of our environment that support cellular health, and highlights essential biomarkers for optimal metabolic wellness. Additionally, she offers insights into three dietary changes necessary for protecting our health, adapting our daily practices to support our mitochondrial health in the modern world, and re-envisioning healthcare for future generations.

I’m so thankful to be able to share Dr. Means' practical advice on maintaining mitochondrial health and achieving blood sugar balance, providing us with the keys to generating sustainable energy.
