Listen "Good Energy"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Casey Means's book Good Energy argues that most chronic illnesses stem from metabolic dysfunction, or "Bad Energy," caused by an evolutionary mismatch between our bodies and modern lifestyles. The book details how environmental factors—diet, movement, sleep, stress, and toxins—damage mitochondria, leading to inflammation and cellular dysfunction. Means proposes a holistic approach focusing on improving "Good Energy" through dietary changes, increased movement, better sleep, stress reduction, and toxin avoidance. The author uses personal anecdotes and scientific evidence to support their claims, advocating for a shift from treating symptoms to addressing the root causes of illness. Ultimately, the book offers a practical plan for readers to improve their metabolic health and prevent chronic diseases.
