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.

Good Energy for the win 🏆💪

Casey is truly amazing! Her work has been influential/inspirational to many!

I’ve read all of the health, wellness, longevity etc books and I can confidently say that Good Energy takes things to another level. Everyone needs to read this book 10/10 I recommend! Can’t wait to gift a copy to my entire family 🤣

Thank you Casey and Calley for making this happen 🙏🎉

Great information!

very informative. but too many lists and numbers to follow in an audible book. better if it was noted in the pdf. also some of the terms were lost on me, maybe take more time to explain in a story like way rather than reading lists. I did love the info and hope everyone gets to understand this stuff. I have listened to a couple of chapters several times to absorb it!!

Drinking the koolaide

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

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.

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.

Brilliant, sound, next-generation self-help

Dr. Means thoroughly illustrates the holes in our self-care, many of which we are unaware. Also clearly diagrams the cancerous conflicts of interest of our health, and the healthcare system.

If you want to understand how to help doctors help you more effectively, read this. If you want to be inspired to tear your life down to its structural elements for a bigger/better rebuild, read this. If you want to become healthier medically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially, read this.

Empowering.

Great presentation and factual info

Best book that I have read on heath, metabolic and ways to deal with your health and diet
