In a groundbreaking new release, Good Energy has shot to the top of the bestseller list, marking an instant #1 New York Times triumph. Written by Dr. Casey Means, a leader in the field of metabolic health and co-founder of the cutting-edge health technology company Levels, the book is poised to revolutionize the way we think about wellness, chronic disease, and the future of healthcare.
Dr. Means, who has dedicated her career to understanding the roots of America’s health crisis, presents a bold new thesis: many of the most debilitating and life-shortening conditions we face today—ranging from heart disease to anxiety, diabetes to dementia—may all share a common root cause: metabolic dysfunction. Through Good Energy, she brings to the fore a paradigm-shifting idea that optimizing our cellular energy production could unlock the door to longer, healthier lives free from chronic disease.
Drawing on her experience as a physician, researcher, and entrepreneur, Dr. Means lays out a four-week plan that taps into the latest advancements in metabolic science. The book weaves together personal stories, groundbreaking research, and real-world data from Levels, the health technology company Dr. Means co-founded, which allows individuals to monitor their metabolic health in real time. Her mission? To empower readers with the knowledge and tools to take control of their health like never before.
The Science Behind the Energy
At the core of Good Energy is a central concept: our body’s ability to create and use energy efficiently determines not just how we feel day-to-day but how we stave off or fall prey to chronic conditions. According to Dr. Means, poor cellular energy production, often stemming from modern lifestyles, lies at the heart of a wide array of conditions—depression, insomnia, cancer, and even Alzheimer’s.
Dr. Means pulls no punches in dismantling some of the most prevalent myths about diet, fitness, and healthcare. Her book reveals five key biomarkers that dictate our susceptibility to disease and offers practical steps on how to optimize them. From debunking trendy dietary fads to explaining the importance of sleep, exercise, and even cold exposure for building resilience, Good Energy provides a holistic framework for health that is as comprehensive as it is actionable.
A Bold New Vision for Wellness
The book has garnered rave reviews from the medical community and wellness experts alike. Dr. Mark Hyman, a 15-time New York Times bestselling author, calls it “a tour de force” that will transform how people think about their health. Jay Shetty, #1 bestselling author and host of the On Purpose podcast, praises Good Energy for offering “a powerful vision for a brighter future—for both people and the planet.”
Dr. Means doesn't shy away from challenging the conventional wisdom of the healthcare system, either. By focusing on metabolic health, she advocates for a shift away from symptom management toward addressing the root causes of disease—a message that resonates deeply in an era where preventable illnesses are rampant.
The Visionary Behind the Book
Dr. Casey Means is no ordinary physician. As the Chief Medical Officer and co-founder of Levels, she is on the front lines of health innovation. Levels, which specializes in continuous glucose monitoring to track metabolic health, has been instrumental in bringing real-time health insights to consumers, enabling them to make more informed decisions about their diet, exercise, and lifestyle.
Before launching Levels, Dr. Means was on the faculty at Stanford University, where she lectured on metabolic health and healthcare technology. A Stanford Medical School graduate and former Head & Neck Surgery trainee at Oregon Health and Science University, she made the radical decision to leave traditional medicine behind to tackle the root causes of chronic illness. Her commitment to reversing the metabolic health crisis in America has been recognized globally, and her contributions continue to shape the future of health.
Her brother, Calley Means, is also an advocate for health reform. As co-founder of TrueMed, he has been instrumental in pushing for policy changes to reshape health incentives and reverse the tide of chronic illness.
