Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health

Very informative and eye opening , on health

Its damage and i want change it

Very interesting read and learned a lot from this book about how the healthcare system works and taking your health into your own hands/not relying on doctors.

✍️ Good Energy by Dr. Casey Means is a must-read for anyone who wants to take control of their health. I first heard her on Jay Shetty’s podcast talking about why we should all become the CEO of our own health—and I couldn’t agree more. 📖 The core message hit hard: stop outsourcing your well-being. You know your body better than a doctor who sees you for 10 minutes. Medical professionals should be there for emergencies and acute care, but day-to-day health? That’s on us. She explains how glucose, metabolism, and energy affect everything—and why small changes can transform your life. 📗 I loved how she broke down blood test numbers and wearable data in a way that finally makes sense. No jargon overload (well, almost). The 4-week program? I didn’t follow it—I just made improvements as I went. Most recipes were not for me (hard-to-find ingredients and I’m not into cauliflower rice or lettuce wraps), but there are a few I’ll try.

I cannot recommend this book enough. The author has thought it through from start to finish and makes the science language easy to understand. There are concrete steps you can take to improve your health. I had always wondered why I have mild health issues and the doctors can never really get to the bottom of it or don’t even try!

" Excellent book "

I don't know about you, but I'm headed towards 60 and I am finding out there is a ton to learn so I don't feel my age. Right now I have high energy because according to this book I'm doing a lot of things right. I tend to keep fairly active and eat pretty healthy except for a few treats and I try to implement the healthy lifestyle choices in this book whenever I can. The section on the importance of sleep could be lifesaving for a lot of people who struggle with insomnia. I know one person in my life who nearly died because of lack of sleep and so I think he needs to read this book! I was sleeping for 12 hours but now I'm sleeping for around 8. That is healthier! While reading you may ask yourself: "Does one person really know the root cause of our obesity epidemic?" Casey Means believes your health is under your control and this is a very empowering message. Some of the questions this book answers include: What is metabolic dysfunction? Why is there so much chronic disease? What is the real cause of depression? Why do we need to treat disease at the cellular level? What is the difference between good and bad energy? How can you get more good energy? What I found in this book was a fascinating cellular biology lesson. This helped me understand the mechanisms of insulin resistance and more... What I admire about Casey Means is how inquisitive she is and how she is solution focused in curing the underlying condition of most diseases she discusses. Basically she teaches more sunlight, less sugar and more vegetables. I see nothing wrong with that! As I read this book I realized it will probably be the most important book I read this year! The Pros are that it is well organized, super informative and easy to understand. The Cons are that a lot of people can't afford to go the totally organic way but I suggest starting small and expanding into organic as you can. Often I've found organic food makes up for the cost by giving you superior taste. Like organic bananas and organic green beans really are so much more flavorful. As this book implies as the old adage goes: "You get what you pay for. AND...You either pay now or you pay later." Is your health not worth the cost? Too many people find out too late that illness is very expensive and time consuming!! While reading this book I realized I'm eating most of the food that are recommended for getting your key nutrients. I'm also doing well with foods with the highest polyphenol count. My count on what I'm eating as far as antioxidant sources go is 23! And I'm on a budget! So a lot of common foods are discussed. The section on the benefits of sunlight made me think I should eat breakfast outside in the morning! That has inspired me to look for an outdoor table. The section on cold and heat exposure makes me think I'm doing the right thing keeping the heat low during this winter and I feel more energetic because of it. Just wait until you hear how you can increase dopamine! Casey Means lives what she believes and gives lot of tips that prove she's a genius and that is not an exaggeration. Her understanding of mitochondria has helped me understand why I have more energy now than I did a year ago! How to Use this Book! 1. Read it from cover to cover with a highlighter in hand! 2. Read all the highlighted portions again. 3. Write down the foods you want to eat more of to get healthy. Write down the lifestyle changes you want to implement. 4. Go shopping! 5. Prepare healthier meals! That is about it! I personally put turmeric capsules in my shopping cart and looked at cookbooks that were recommended. I can see how this book will help me improve my life right away and in the future too. Sometimes you just need a little motivation and encouragement to do the right things, eat the right foods and leave the house to be in the sun for a few minutes! I feel inspired after reading this book and I think you will be too! I knew nothing about the author before reading this book. I know nothing additional about her except what I've read in this book. I think her book speaks for itself and is all you need to make some great New Year's resolutions! ~The Rebecca Review
