Publisher’s Summary
A bold new vision for optimizing our health now and in the future
What if depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, dementia, cancer and many other health conditions that torture and shorten our lives actually have the same root cause?
Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions – and feel incredible today – is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function – the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this groundbreaking book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our physical and mental wellbeing.
If you are battling minor signals of “bad energy” inside your body, it is often a warning sign that more life-threatening illness may emerge later in life. But here’s the good news: for the first time ever, we can monitor our metabolic health in great detail and learn how to improve it ourselves.
Weaving together cutting-edge research and personal stories, as well as groundbreaking data from the health technology company Dr. Means founded, Good Energy offers an essential four-week plan and explains:
- The five biomarkers that determine your risk for a deadly disease.
- How to use inexpensive tools and technology to “see inside your body” and take action.
- Why dietary philosophies are designed to confuse us, and six lifelong food principles you can implement whether you’re carnivore or vegan.
- The crucial links between sleep, circadian rhythm, and metabolism
- A new framework for exercise focused on building simple movement into everyday activities
- How cold and heat exposure helps build our body’s resilience
- Steps to navigate the medical system to get what you need for optimal health
Good Energy offers a new, cutting-edge understanding of the true cause of illness that until now has remained hidden. It will help you optimize your ability to live well and stay well at every age.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
4/5 stars — “Evidence-based insights on healthy eating. “
Everyone should read the first 2/3 of the book to gain strength to live healthy, and understand the necessity for systemic change in US health care protocols. The final 1/3 plays into stereotypes that only new agers live right, and may offend people of Jewish and Christian faith.— Audible customer, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Great to motivate health habits that avoid disease”
Dr. Means’ personal stories from inside the medical-pharma-insurance system are an alarming warning to question everything an MD tells you, take charge of your own lab tests and interpretations, and what you decide will be done to your body. She describes what my wife saw when she worked as a Registered Dietitian and why she left the profession. It is stunningly corrupt that Medicare and Medicaid will not pay for even 15 minutes of diet counseling for cancer patients when it’s a metabolic disease in which high blood glucose feeds cancer cells. If enough people take this guidance to heart it could somehow revolutionize the system. Listening to the stories of people misled by doctors, I am thinking about dear friends who might still be alive had they been empowered with this book to get to the root cause of their disease rather than go along with "Standard of Care". It helps you feel compassion for doctors stuck in such a corrupt system. I have a pretty good doctor–it seems like I make his day when I demand additional lab tests and refuse drugs.— Ron Whitehurst, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “America needs this. “
Great book. I personally don’t like Bluetooth wearables, and have found it better for me personally to avoid almond flour and abundance of cauliflower, but everything else is solid.— Shannon, Audible listener
