5 out of 5 stars
I hope everyone will read this book!
Dr. Mark Hyman describes Good Energy by Dr. Casey Means with her brother, Calley Means, as a ‘tour de force’. This might be an understatement.Thanks to Dr. Chris Palmer, and his book: Brain Energy, I was familiar with the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in mental illness, and, logic dictates, all chronic illnesses, when I read Good Energy. Thanks to self-healers, like Liam Boehm, who helps clients silence their tinnitus, I was also well-versed in ‘metabolic interventions’, a set of habits contrary to modern life that restore mitochondrial health -- habits which align with the Good Energy Plan.But this is not to detract from Casey’s achievement. Quite the opposite.Good Energy conveys all of this and more. Casey introduces readers to mitochondrial and cellular function, trusting our interest and our ability to understand their importance; she clearly explains how and why our medical culture has gone awry, failing doctors and patients alike; she describes the hazards of our modern world, including spiritual disconnection, yet she offers us its promise as well, providing all the tools we need to cultivate Good Energy in just four weeks. These tools are not simply ‘good ideas’, they are lifesaving and can transform our current trajectory from one of declining fertility and life expectancy to one of joyous, thriving health. Good Energy is ‘a vision of health that is big and bold’ – may it spread far and wide.

5.0 out of 5 stars A blueprint for lifelong health
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2024
Verified Purchase
Casey Means is on a mission. Fueled by her own experiences as a medical doctor - where economic incentives were to treat the symptoms rather than the causes of chronic disease - she has delivered a treatise on what ails us and what we can do to change it, as well as provided a practical guide for creating good energy.

As a rising star in head and neck surgery, Casey saw firsthand what suffering looks like. Patients being treated for the same chronic conditions over and over with painful and invasive procedures. And then coming back for more, living with the fear and uncertainty that they won’t get better, that they will just have to accept debilitating pain and hopelessness. Casey also understood that this state of affairs was celebrated as core to the business model in some corners of medicine.

Rather than be weighed down by her outrage at this, she channeled it into a mission.

Casey puts our health in the context of wildly changing dietary and environmental toxins over the past decades, while also breaking down the silos around medical specialties to talk about our health at the cellular level. As our diets and environments have rapidly transformed, these nutritional and sensory inputs have left our cells confused. And rather than take flight, they’ve opted to respond fighting, causing various types of inflammation across our bodies.

While Casey paints an eye-opening picture, the good news is, like our cells, we too can fight back. The book offers practical steps not just to improve the quality of our diet and the calories we ingest, but also to create the physical and emotional conditions to improve our health as well.

This is a painstakingly researched book, but it's not a boring one. Casey's journey is inspiring and her joy is infectious. Beyond creating healthier, better informed readers, this book is an invitation to share that journey, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life changing book focused on root cause lifestyle shifts
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2024

This book is helps you take control of your health and includes everything you need to inspire a healthy shift in your life by focusing on the root cause in 2024: metabolic disease.

Dr. Means lays everything out in an easy to understand way, with clear analogies for complex biological processes.

This book has helped my husband and I make simple yet effective changes that have reduced our overall weight and boost our energy.

Recommended for anyone sincerely interested in impeoving their health but unsure of where to start, especially for folks who may be overweight with symptoms that your doctor hasn’t been able to help you identify the root cause.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but may trigger ED

Um, eating disordered behavior, not erectile dysfunction :-)

I enjoyed this book a lot. It’s very similar in ethos to Metabolical (it even excerpts it) but slightly more accessible and with a narrower focus. If your psychological relationship with eating is fairly healthy, I recommend it; if you enjoy pop-sci books about metabolic biology, you’ll likely enjoy this one.

It gets a bit bio-hacky in the middle. She promotes her own company’s pricey CGM product a bunch; it didn’t feel wildly grifty, though it did make me read more skeptically, and it was generally annoying to be marketed to in a science book. So I skimmed that chapter. Most of the book was very informative and engaging, though. Not sure how legit the various studies she referenced were, no methodologies were discussed. Her advice to readers assumes access to quality food and elective medical tests and the means to afford them, so it won’t be realistic for many.

Read with caution if you have issues with disordered eating, particularly orthorexia. It’s a highly quantitative and prescriptive book (though gently so) and could potentially trigger food-obsessive behaviors.

This was an eye opening book in many ways. My husband and I are very excited to start the first month. To be honest, I would love to have all the labs done but those are just not at our price point and some of the ingredients are not at our price point either but we will be doing at the very least the three core eating measures and taking more action towards sleep, activity and exercise. She gives very simple and more complex steps to take for your best health. Start simple and then take steps toward the more complex. Great book! I have recommended to many of my friends.

I purchased this book after discovering Casey Means on the Huberman Lab podcast. I immediately bought her audio book & absolutely love it! Very eye opening and easy to read or listen to.. goes into great detail but explains concepts in a way that everyone can understand & gives practical advice and steps to move towards changing your life and health for the better. If I could recommend only 1 book for overall health and wellness, it would be this one. Recommended it to all of my friends and family already, read the audio book version and bought the hardcover for my mother the same day I started listening to it. I've read tons of books on health & medicine, this is by far my favorite! I've learned so much new information & really made me take a second look at my "healthy" food/product choices. Thank you Casey Means!!

Me gusto muchísimo ella y todas las explicaciones que da están super bien sustentadas. No me gusto nada que en cada sección se hace hincapié en lo mal que están en USA de salud y todo lo malo del sistema de salud, al final eso me quitó energía al leerlo pero entiendo que el punto es despertar consciencias y esa es una manera de hacerlo.
Es algo extrema en sus recomendaciones y en todo éste camino hacia la salud tengo claro que no hay un “one size fits all” y que no está enfocado a quienes ya hacemos muchas de las cosas recomendadas, me gustaría saber que más hay para niveles avanzados…

This book is a MUST read if you are concerned about your health! Dr. Means outlines clearly what the root causes/underlying issues are in todays unwellness epidemic. So many of us are battling undiagnosed conditions of poor wellbeing, nevermind the dramatic increase in disease. This book not only sheds light on this but also hope with simple and actionable steps to reclaim vitality and health. Brilliant and comprehensive and full of love for humanity!
