Description

Today, we interview Stanford-trained physician Dr. Casey Means about her upcoming book "Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health." Dr. Means' mission is to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tech-enabled tools. She believes the underlying cause of chronic disease is metabolic dysfunction, and the cure to this dysfunction is available to every individual through smart and sustainable lifestyle choices. She shares her mother's tragic story as well as what the health care system gets wrong about our health. We also cover the dark truth about the money behind health care and where doctors' incentives could actually lie.
