Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health Hardcover – May 14, 2024

I was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome a decade ago. At that time, my health care practitioner recommended a number of supplements as well as intermittent fasting. While the results were great, I lost interest in continuing the plethora of supplements, not only due to the cost, but the strange side effects I was experiencing.Over the next decade, I grew increasingly confused by contradictory nutritional guidelines.I bought this book because my lack of energy was becoming concerning. I did not expect much as this was an impulse buy.I WAS WRONG. This book has changed my relationship with food, and more importantly my relationship with my body. The writing is clear and concise with data and verifiable research, which provides credibility in my mind.Everyone should read this book and incorporate these guidelines.I have since also purchased the kindle edition so I can pass the physical copy on to my loved ones.Thank you to Casey Means. You have truly changed my life for the better. After six weeks, I have lost 10 pounds, regulated my blood sugar, and my energy is restored.

As someone who has spent years studying health, nutrition, and longevity, I can confidently say that Good Energy by Dr. Casey Means is the most profound and transformative books on health I have ever read. This book is not just another wellness guide, it’s a paradigm shift in how we understand the root causes of disease, the power of metabolic health, and what it truly means to thrive. Even more so, her insight into regenerative agriculture, spirituality and environmentalism is profound.Dr. Means masterfully weaves together cutting-edge science, ancestral wisdom, and practical strategies to help readers reclaim their health at the cellular level. Her insights on mitochondrial function, inflammation, and how our modern lifestyle is hijacking our well-being are eye-opening. Unlike many health books that focus on quick fixes, Good Energy provides a holistic framework for sustainable vitality, one that is empowering, deeply researched, and actionable.What sets this book apart is Dr. Means' ability to break down complex concepts in a way that is both accessible and inspiring. She doesn't just tell you what to do, she explains why it matters, making it impossible to ignore the profound impact our daily choices have on our long-term health. Whether you're a seasoned health enthusiast or just starting your wellness journey, this book will change the way you think about food, movement, stress, and sleep.I’ve read countless books on health, but Good Energy stands out as the best. It’s not just a book, it’s a blueprint for a life filled with energy, clarity, and true well-being. If you care about your health, this is a must-read.

Just started to read this book and already LOVE IT! I will have to order more to give out as a gift to my doctors, to people and family I love ! It’s an ultimate guide for better help, and live healthy , age gratefully and navigate in our American broken health system, toxins and lifestyle with food we are forced to live in everyday!

Good Energy is a compelling and timely read that delves into the growing health crisis in the U.S., particularly related to metabolic syndrome and the detrimental effects of industrialized foods. Dr. Casey Means does an excellent job of simplifying complex topics in human physiology and nutrition, making them accessible to a broad audience. She effectively links the rise of chronic health issues, like obesity and diabetes, to the widespread consumption of processed foods, particularly seed oils, refined carbohydrates, and low-nutrient "junk" foods.One of the book’s most valuable contributions is its re-framing of metabolic syndrome, a condition affecting millions of Americans. By introducing the concept of "Good Energy," Dr. Means makes metabolic health more relatable and actionable, encouraging readers to rethink their relationship with food and energy. The book also provides practical tips for healthier eating, including recipes that demonstrate how to incorporate nutrient-dense foods into everyday meals, which can help readers make meaningful changes to their diet.However, as informative and practical as the book is, its impact is slightly diluted in the final chapters. Dr. Means introduces speculative ideas about lifestyle changes—such as the use of psilocybin—which, while interesting, seem out of place in a book focused on tangible, evidence-based solutions. This shift toward unproven or controversial suggestions may detract from the book's primary message and could undermine its credibility for readers looking for concrete, sustainable advice.Despite this, Good Energy remains an invaluable resource for anyone interested in improving their health through better nutrition. Its focus on metabolic health and the dangers of industrialized food systems is timely and important, making it a must-read for those seeking to understand—and address—the root causes of the ongoing health crisis in the U.S.

This is the best book I’ve read on metabolic health, ever. It’s such an engaging read, I could not put it down (can’t say the same for “Outlive” which was good but very dense and reads like a textbook).This truly is a must read - I ordered one for my parents in Brazil too.

This book was recommended to me by A Health Nurse. The Best investment I made for me ever. It has changed how I view my health,my eating habits and how I can help improved my health along with my current Doctors knowledge and Support. Best Book Ever. I know it's detailed; however if you've suffered with health issues,like me this is best Book to Read. Invest in yourself,you won't regret your decision. This Book gives you Step by Step Instructions and Guidelines on how to live a better Quality of Life.

This book has a lot of technical information about how our body works, but the author also gives some good practical and simple steps we can take to optimize our health.
