Modern medicine offers a pill for every ill. But as the sickest, fattest, unhealthiest modern population, it\u2019s clear that our healthcare system isn\u2019t actually making our citizens healthier. On today\u2019s show, you\u2019re going to learn about the root cause of all of our major killers: mitochondrial health.\xa0

Our guests today are Dr. Casey Means and Calley Means. Dr. Casey Means is a Stanford-trained physician and the co-founder of Levels. Her brother, Calley Means, is the co-founder of TrueMed. Together, their mission is to help folks understand the root of all disease, which is how efficiently our cells create and utilize energy. Their new book, Good Energy, unpacks the connection between mitochondrial health, metabolism, and optimal health outcomes.\xa0
