Today on this Wellness Wednesday, we interview Stanford-trained physician Dr. Casey Means about her upcoming book "Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health." Dr. Means' mission is to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tech-enabled tools. She believes the underlying cause of chronic disease is metabolic dysfunction, and the cure to this dysfunction is available to every individual through smart and sustainable lifestyle choices. She shares her mother's tragic story as well as what the health care system gets wrong about our health. We also cover the dark truth about the money behind health care and where doctors' incentives could actually lie.\n\nPre-order Dr. Means' book here: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Energy-Surprising-Connection-Metabolism/dp/0593712641\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(01:30) Dr. Means' mom's story / metabolic dysfunction\n(19:30) "Trusting the science"\n(23:29) Financial incentives in healthcare\n(30:23) Medical school education\n(41:00) American health revolution\n(49:01) Body positivity\n(52:35) Importance of metabolic health\n(56:57) How to advocate for yourself\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nWe Heart Nutrition \u2014 nourish your body with research-backed ingredients in your vitamins at\xa0WeHeartNutrition.com\xa0and use promo code ALLIE for 20% off.\n\nJase Medical \u2014 get up to a year\u2019s worth of many of your prescription medications delivered in advance.\xa0Go to\xa0JaseMedical.com\xa0today and use promo code \u201cALLIE".\n\nCrowdHealth \u2014 get your first 6 months for just $99/month.
