Good Energy

The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health
by Casey Means MD | Avery © 2024 · 400 pages

Casey Means, MD, is the co-founder of Levels, a health technology company dedicated to reversing the world’s metabolic health crisis. She has served on the faculty at Stanford University, where she lectured on metabolic health and health technology. Dr. Means received her undergraduate degree with honors from Stanford, where she was president of her class, before graduating from Stanford Medical School. She later left traditional medicine to focus on tackling the root causes of why Americans are so sick. I’m not sure how I found this book, but when I saw the testimonial by Admiral Michael Mullen, retired 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I knew I had to get it. As you’d expect, it’s packed with Big Ideas and I’m excited to share some of my favorites, so let’s jump straight in!


The truth: we should consider listening to the medical system if we have an acute issue like a life-threatening infection or a broken bone. But when it comes to the chronic conditions that plague our lives, we should question almost every institution regarding nutrition or chronic disease advice.

Good Energy is the goal, and the state of mind—and what it can create—is incredible . . . a world where we are eating beautiful food, moving our bodies, interacting with nature, taking pleasure in the world around us, and feeling fulfilled, vibrant, and alive. The view is exciting, because living with Good Energy means good food, happy people, real connections, and expanding into the most beautiful expression of our precious lives.

It’s true that the challenges we’re up against on the quest for upleveling our health are enormous. Yet I have seen that all of this can start to change right now. It starts when you simply ask one question: What would it feel like to have Good Energy? I invite you to ask that question now: What would it feel like to have your body functioning optimally, for your body to just be at ease enjoying this human experience, for your mind to be working clearly and creatively, and to feel that your life is established on a steady and strong source of inner power? Imagine a powerful life force from within that allows you to take on each day with pleasure, energy, gratitude, and joy. Take a moment. Really feel it. Imagine it. Let yourself.

My hope for this book is to change your life by enabling you to feel better today and prevent disease tomorrow. It all begins by understanding and acting upon the science of Good Energy.”

Casey Means, MD, is the co-founder of Levels, a health technology company with the mission of reversing the world’s metabolic health crisis.

As per her bio: She has served on the faculty at Stanford University, lecturing on metabolic health and health technology. She received her undergraduate degree with honors from Stanford, where she was president of her class; she then graduated from Stanford Medical School ... before leaving traditional medicine to devote her life to tackling the root cause of why Americans are so sick.

I got this book during my recent binge on the latest and greatest books on nutrition/longevity/optimal Energy. That deep dive included Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind by Georgia Ede, Outlive by Peter Attia, Forever Strong by Gabrielle Lyon, and Metabolical by Robert Lustig.

I’m not sure how I found it but when I saw this testimonial by Admiral Michael Mullin, the retired 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I got it immediately: “For too long we have created a ‘health care’ system that is really a ‘sick care’ system. Improving the metabolic health of Americans is an urgent national security priority. The path prescribed herein optimizes our metabolic habits while modernizing our health system to fix the root causes. Brilliant, timely, and remarkably impactful. Read this book. Tell your friends.”

That’s a GREAT description of the book—which is FANTASTIC. Get a copy here.

As you’d expect, it’s packed with Big Ideas and I’m excited to share some of my favorites, so let’s jump straight in!
