| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to What's the Juice, where today's episode is with an incredible doctor and advocate for the future of humanity's health, who is changing the way that we think about metabolic health and chronic disease. |
| 0:16.9 | Dr. Casey Means received her MD from Stanford and went on to be the president of her class, |
| 0:22.5 | where she then became a talented surgeon and eventually left Western medicine in order to |
| 0:28.4 | devote her life to tackling the root causes of why Americans are so sick. |
| 0:33.4 | We're going to get into not only the physical, nutritional, and emotional stress-driven causes of the metabolic health epidemic that we're facing, |
| 0:42.3 | but we're also going to get into the juiciest heart-centered, integrative, tangible solutions that just lit me up when we started getting into the nitty gritty. This isn't going to be something |
| 0:55.2 | where she tells you to eat these five foods for your metabolism. This is where we're going to get |
| 0:59.4 | into, as always, the root of human health, our connection to one another, our connection to our |
| 1:05.6 | bodies, and just healing the world as a whole through restoring relationship with one another. |
| 1:13.0 | She's not only a genius, she's extremely in touch with her soul and spirituality. |
| 1:17.8 | And when I meet an MD who does both, I'm like, we got to get you on the show. |
| 1:22.8 | So on today's episode, we're going to cover the financial incentives that are actually driving chronic |
| 1:29.1 | illness in our health care system. She's going to talk about this light bulb moment when she realized |
| 1:34.2 | that she didn't actually know why her patients were sick. She just knew that she was trained to cut |
| 1:39.0 | into them through surgery or prescribe. She's going to share why depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, Alzheimer's, |
| 1:46.8 | diabetes, cancer even, all have this one root thing in common where the dysfunction is stemming |
| 1:54.0 | on a cellular level from our mitochondria, our energy, and how to take steps to fix and restore |
| 2:00.6 | our energy so that we can actually repair |
| 2:02.5 | ourselves starting today. Of course, as part of our master philosophy, she's going to share why |
| 2:08.7 | blood sugar regulation is so key for restoring that mitochondrial and metabolic health with |
| 2:14.5 | actionable steps on what you can do to start balancing your blood sugar. |
| 2:18.1 | We're going to talk about the role of fiber and polyphenols in gut health and blood sugar |
