So much of the way we're living our lives right now are distinctly hurting our mitochondria,

but it's foundational for us to do anything.

And then the dysfunction that ensues results in a lot of the chronic diseases we're dealing with

today. So we need to be addressing metabolic dysfunction head-on.

So, praise, Aithpet, if you weren't paying attention to your health before the last few years,

you probably are now. The question is, what should we actually be paying attention to?

And are there major things early or even real-time indicators that could tell us how our day-to-day

choices are affecting everything from our energy to the level of pain, inflammation, fatigue,

mental health, or risk of chronic illness or even life-altering disease? But that most of us aren't

focused on or missing or maybe metrics that we don't even know exist. These are the questions I

posed to today's guest, Dr. Casey Means. As we explore the world of metabolic and mitochondrial

health and how technology is now becoming available on more of a mass scale that can help us

really reclaim control over so many aspects of our immediate and long-term well-being and even

guide our behavioral choices from food, to movement, to meditation, to conversations, to what we say

yes or no to in real time. And I also share my own experience running my own personal experiments

with this very emerging tech. So, Casey is a Stanford trained physician who's on a bit of a

mission to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by

empowering people with tech-enabled tools that really help them make better lifestyle choices.

Making a big change herself, leaving the practice of medicine behind, and we talk about why she

made this choice in a fair amount of detail, it's pretty big. She's now the chief medical officer

and co-founder of metabolic health company levels and also the associate editor of the International

Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention. Her perspective in insights have recently been featured
