Review of Dr. Casey Means’ Good Energy
In her book, Good Energy, Dr. Casey Means explores the complex relationship between our metabolic health and the quality of energy we experience in daily life. Dr. Means is an ENT surgeon that graduated from Stanford University Medical School before eschewing it all to dive into the world of disease prevention. Drawing from her background in integrative medicine and her deep understanding of metabolic science, Dr. Means presents a compelling case for why energy levels are not merely a factor of rest and diet, but a direct reflection of how well our cells are functioning on a biochemical level. And this is the key, the understanding of the biochemistry of the why!
In today’s modern world, so many of us feel sluggish, fatigued, or burned out, and the causes are often elusive. We live in a time where external stressors, processed foods, environmental toxins, and sedentary lifestyles disrupt our body’s ability to produce and regulate energy efficiently. Dr. Means calls for a paradigm shift in how we view energy: it’s not just about getting more sleep or drinking another cup of coffee. It’s about restoring the metabolic health of our cells to optimize the energy they generate…..plus a literature review and a recipe.
