Welcome to the Commune Podcast. My name is Jeff Krasnow. As we mark six years of the Commune

podcast, we are republishing some of our most popular interviews with teachers who now have

full-length courses on the

Commune course platform. So this interview with metabolic health expert, Dr. Casey Means,

is from spring of 2022. Since then, Casey has appeared on the show multiple times, notably

in this year's Good Energy series.

Now, the primary subject of this episode is why are glucose levels so important to your health?

So 93% of American adults now have metabolic dysfunction, a state that is almost entirely preventable and underlies the leading causes

of death in the United States, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, and

Alzheimer's dementia.

This conversation includes a deep excavation of metabolism, how your body produces energy,

and how certain environmental and lifestyle inputs can

derail that process.

And of course, we'll talk about how to heal and optimize your energy system with diet and

lifestyle changes.

So if you like what you hear in today's interview, Casey has a full-length course of her own

on Commune called Optimize Your Metabolism.

Like this episode, it is one of our most popular courses of all time.
