Publisher's summary

A bold new vision for optimizing our health now and in the future

What if depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, dementia, cancer and many other health conditions that torture and shorten our lives actually have the same root cause?

Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions—and feel incredible today—is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function—the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this groundbreaking book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our physical and mental wellbeing.

If you are battling minor signals of “bad energy” inside your body, it is often a warning sign that more life-threatening illness may emerge later in life. But here’s the good news: for the first time ever, we can monitor our metabolic health in great detail and learn how to improve it ourselves.

Weaving together cutting-edge research and personal stories, as well as groundbreaking data from the health technology company Dr. Means founded, Good Energy offers an essential four-week plan and explains:

• The five biomarkers that determine your risk for a deadly disease.
• How to use inexpensive tools and technology to “see inside your body” and take action.
• Why dietary philosophies are designed to confuse us, and six lifelong food principles you can implement whether you’re carnivore or vegan.
• The crucial links between sleep, circadian rhythm, and metabolism
• A new framework for exercise focused on building simple movement into everyday activities
• How cold and heat exposure helps build our body’s resilience
• Steps to navigate the medical system to get what you need for optimal health

Good Energy offers a new, cutting-edge understanding of the true cause of illness that until now has remained hidden. It will help you optimize your ability to live well and stay well at every age.

* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF containing Part 3: The Good Energy Plan and Part 4: Good Energy Recipes from the book.

This book will change your life. By simply avoiding toxic foods and making better eating habits and lifestyle improvements you will learn how to live a longer healthier life. Thank you to the Author and her brother for bringing their story and information together. I was also impressed at the credits the other names of doctors and people I was already following. I am a little over a month into my journey of eating healthy and feel a huge difference already. I am grateful to have discovered this book and highly recommend reading it.

The detailed information that is missing in many other health and wellness books.

I loved the latest information on our current situation for health and vitality. I did not like how she says if you're getting murdered, you should enjoy your last moments on earth. That's just bat**it crazy for her to say something like that. I have to keep the good and toss that insane statement. I wonder if she'd enjoy getting raped and murdered. I refuse to recommend this book to my friends and family just because of her view on that situation and what she said. Yikes.

Eye-opening information on the real health crisis

I was amazed with this title. It far exceeded my expectations. A must add for everyone's list!
