• Metabolic Dysfunction: Poor glucose control drives disease.
• Cellular Energy: Mitochondria health fuels longevity.
• Lifestyle Alignment: Circadian habits enhance metabolism.
• Blood Sugar: Stability supports mental clarity.
• Empowered Choices: Daily actions reverse inflammation.

“Good Energy” is a groundbreaking exploration of how metabolic health—specifically glucose control and cellular energy—becomes the foundation for vibrant, long-lasting wellness and longevity. Dr. Casey Means draws on her journey as a Stanford-trained MD and former surgical resident to show that most chronic diseases—from heart disease and diabetes to depression and dementia—stem from dysfunction at the cellular level. With the right inputs, our cells generate “good energy”; with the wrong ones, they produce damaging “bad energy.

In present tense, Means explains that modern lifestyles rich in ultra‑processed foods, chronic stress, insufficient sleep, sedentary habits, and environmental toxins impair mitochondrial function. This metabolic breakdown fuels inflammation, symptoms, and the diseases that plague so many. She argues that we hold the power to reverse this by stabilizing blood sugar, optimizing diet, adopting circadian‑aligned eating patterns, exercising, practicing cold / heat therapies, improving sleep, and reconnecting with nature.

Dr. Means grounds her authority in solid credentials: Bachelor’s and MD degrees from Stanford, research roles at NIH, Stanford, NYU, and OHSU, and firsthand clinical experience in surgical training where she witnesses preventable suffering. She later co-founds Levels, a company that empowers users to monitor glucose in real time, reinforcing her message that metabolic health can be individually tracked and optimized.

Collaborating with her brother Calley, she delivers a four‑week, practical roadmap that demystifies science and turns it into actionable steps—including recipes, lifestyle tweaks, and mindset shifts. With clarity and urgency, “Good Energy” posits that glowing health and longevity are within reach of anyone willing to power their lives from the inside out.
