Summary

Calley Means is the cofounder of True Medicine, which enables patients to use HSAs/FSAs to buy healthy food, exercise and supplements. He is writing a book, co-authored with his sister Dr. Casey Means, about how preventable cellular dysfunction (caused primarily by food) is at the root of nearly every chronic condition that plagues American life – and how to fix it.

Calley has invested in healthcare companies aiming to transform the current sick-care system, including Levels (providing patients with more metabolic health data), Atai (a leading mental health/psychedelic company), Delix (a leading psychedelic company), and Rejuveron (a leading longevity company), as well as consumer startups such as RapidSOS, UpSmith, Dynamic.xyz, and Vibe. Previously, Calley co-founded a company called Anomalie with his wife, which was acquired by David's Bridal. Anomalie's solution is the only customizable, made-to-order bridal brand that helps brides of all sizes, styles, and budgets visualize and create their perfect dream dress.

SHOW NOTES:

(12:02) Is the growth of the healthcare industry correlated with better outcomes?
(18:54) Humans and domesticated animals are the only creatures struggling with systematic obesity, depression, and metabolic dysfunction.
(24:45) The average American today goes through 17 different medical specialists throughout their life.
(30:59) Most forms of cancer aren't "unlucky". They're very preventable.
(44:01) Food, alongside other metabolic habits, are causing not just a health epidemic in the U.S., but economic and political turmoil as well.
(54:17) The American Diabetes Association said that as long as you take your drugs (if you're Type 2 diabetic) you can eat whatever you want.
(56:43) Ultra-processed food is made up of highly-processed grains, sugar, and seed oils.
(1:02:16) The USDA recommends up to 10% of our diet to be added sugar, nudging us into funding our destruction.
(1:13:16) Is there any way, right now, without waiting for policy change, to use our current health benefits to buy root cause habits?
