In this episode, my guest is Dr. Casey Means, M.D., a physician trained at Stanford University School of Medicine, an expert on metabolic health and the author of the book, "Good Energy."\xa0We discuss how to leverage nutrition, exercise\xa0and environmental factors to enhance your metabolic health by improving mitochondrial function, hormone and blood sugar regulation.\xa0\nWe also explore how fasting, deliberate cold exposure\xa0and spending time in nature can impact metabolic health, how to control food cravings and how to assess your metabolic health using blood testing, continuous glucose monitors and other tools.\xa0\nMetabolic dysfunction is a leading cause of chronic disease, obesity and reduced lifespan around the world.\xa0Conversely, improving your mitochondrial and metabolic health can positively affect your health span and longevity.\nListeners of this episode will\xa0learn low- and zero-cost tools to improve their metabolic health, physical and mental well-being, body composition and target the root cause of various common diseases.\nFor show notes, including referenced articles and additional resources, please visit hubermanlab.com.\nThank you to our sponsors\nAG1: https://drinkag1.com/huberman\nMaui Nui Venison: https://mauinuivenison.com/huberman\xa0\nEight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/huberman\xa0\nAeroPress: https://aeropress.com/huberman\xa0\nInsideTracker: https://insidetracker.com/huberman\xa0\nMomentous: https://livemomentous.com/huberman\nTimestamps\n00:00:00 Dr. Casey Means\n00:02:18 Sponsors: Maui Nui, Eight Sleep & AeroPress\n00:06:32 Metabolism, Metabolic Dysfunction, Medicinal Blindspot\n00:14:17 Trifecta of Bad Energy\n00:24:02 Western Living, United States, Specialization & Medicine\n00:27:57 Insulin Resistance, Tool: Mitochondrial Capacity & Exercise\n00:33:33 Sponsor: AG1\n00:35:03 Tools: Walking & Glucose; Frequent Movement\n00:44:25 Tools: Exercises to Improve Mitochondrial Capacity; Desk Treadmill\n00:51:18 Soleus Push-Ups & Fidgeting, Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT)\n00:57:14 Sponsor: InsideTracker\n00:58:21 Tool: Blood Test Biomarkers, Vital Signs & Mitochondrial Function\n01:11:16 Navigate Medical System & Blood Tests, Consumer Lab Testing\n01:16:46 Tool: Environmental Factors; Food, Life as a Process\n01:21:58 Tool: Ultra-Processed vs. Real Food, Obesity, Soil & Micronutrients\n01:32:03 Ultra-Processed Foods: Brain & Cellular Confusion\n01:39:10 Tools: Control Cravings, GLP-1 Production, Microbiome Support\n01:51:42 Ozempic, GLP-1 Analogs; Root Cause & Medicine\n02:00:54 Tool: Deliberate Cold & Heat Exposure, Brown Fat\n02:07:27 Tool: Intermittent Fasting & Metabolic Flexibility; Insulin Sensitivity\n02:17:03 Tool: Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) & Awareness, Glucose Spikes\n02:24:34 Tool: CGMs, Glycemic Variability, Dawn Effect, Individuality\n02:33:10 Sleep; Continuous Monitoring & Biomarkers\n02:37:39 Mindset & Safety, Stress & Cell Danger Response\n02:44:04 Tool: Being in Nature, Sunlight, Fear\n02:54:44 Zero-Cost Support, Spotify & Apple Reviews, Sponsors, YouTube Feedback, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter\nDisclaimer
