Summary
"Good energy is fundamentally about giving your body what it needs to thrive. When we do this, our cells work better, our hormones balance, and we feel absolutely incredible." - Dr. Casey Means
In this eye-opening episode, I sat down with Dr. Casey Means, Stanford-trained physician, #1 New York Times bestselling author of "Good Energy," and co-founder of Levels, to unpack the truth about America's metabolic health crisis—and more importantly, how we can naturally optimize our body's energy systems. As women over 40, understanding our metabolic health is crucial not just for weight management, but for sustained energy, mental clarity, and overall vitality. Dr. Means shares groundbreaking insights about how we can naturally boost our body's production of key hormones like GLP-1 (the same hormone in popular weight loss medications) through simple dietary and lifestyle changes. Her approach proves that we don't need expensive prescriptions to feel our best—we just need to work with our body's natural wisdom.
What you'll learn:
-
Why 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy and what this means for your health
-
The three key factors of "bad energy" that drive metabolic dysfunction
-
Natural ways to boost your body's production of satiety hormones without medications
-
Simple food combinations that help stabilize blood sugar and increase energy
-
How continuous glucose monitoring can help you personalize your diet and lifestyle
-
The surprising power of post-meal movement for blood sugar control
-
Key tests to request from your doctor to understand your metabolic health
