About this listen

A bold new vision for optimizing our health now and in the future

What if depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, dementia, cancer and many other health conditions that torture and shorten our lives actually have the same root cause?

Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions—and feel incredible today—is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function—the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this groundbreaking book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our physical and mental wellbeing.

If you are battling minor signals of “bad energy” inside your body, it is often a warning sign that more life-threatening illness may emerge later in life. But here’s the good news: for the first time ever, we can monitor our metabolic health in great detail and learn how to improve it ourselves.

Weaving together cutting-edge research and personal stories, as well as groundbreaking data from the health technology company Dr. Means founded, Good Energy offers an essential four-week plan and explains:

  • The five biomarkers that determine your risk for a deadly disease.
  • How to use inexpensive tools and technology to “see inside your body” and take action.
  • Why dietary philosophies are designed to confuse us, and six lifelong food principles you can implement whether you’re carnivore or vegan.
  • The crucial links between sleep, circadian rhythm, and metabolism
  • A new framework for exercise focused on building simple movement into everyday activities
  • How cold and heat exposure helps build our body’s resilience
  • Steps to navigate the medical system to get what you need for optimal health

Good Energy offers a new, cutting-edge understanding of the true cause of illness that until now has remained hidden. It will help you optimize your ability to live well and stay well at every age.

* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF containing Part 3: The Good Energy Plan and Part 4: Good Energy Recipes from the book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent voice. Perfect material and fact filled information.

Loved it all. A must. This should be a family health encyclopedia. I bought all my family the hard copy and I thought I would defer to the audio. Having listened to the audio. I have also ordered a hard copy. Thank you Dr Means!

Be prepared...

The information in this book should have been out for the public many years ago. At 40 years old, with a teenager and school aged child, I am just now starting to really realize the damage done and the huge life changes that I have to make for my family. I cried a little during parts of the book. Not because it's "sad" but more out of anger and disappointment in the many systems we are supposed to have relied heavily on, to guide us into a healthy lifestyle. Instead, we're looking forward to suffering and pain for the rest of our shortened lives if we don't wake up. Thank-you , to this woman for giving us all the information we need, and FREE resources included in this book, to start fixing it, and start living a healthy, pain free life. Unbelievable.
Be prepared for some uncomfortable truths, and expect to make massive changes that require work. . Work that we'll be paid for with our health and the health of our families.

eye opening and alarming

this is not the Alex Jones that I heard about from the media. It makes me wonder what else he was right about.

How to improve your life

This books covers what to do to improve yourself mentally and physically using nutrition, sleep, exercise and mental health techniques like meditation. If all these steps are implemented a life can be better. There is a strong focus on avoiding processed foods and eating real food. The book is as good as Robert Lustig’s Metabolical and Lies I taught in medical school by Robert Lufkin. I definitely need to relisten to start implementing some changes.

Worth the purchase.

Overall a very good book. Great analysis of the medical system and then tangible tools on how to gain control of our own health. At times the lists of foods just took too long to listen to, but still got a ton out of this book! Highly recommend it!!
