Good Energy
by Casey Means
Key Concepts
Cellular Energy
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of every cell, and their efficient function is critical for all bodily processes and overall health.
Metabolic Dysfunction
Impaired cellular energy production is the root cause of most modern chronic diseases, not just a symptom.
Glucose Control
Maintaining stable blood glucose levels is the single most impactful action for optimizing metabolic health and preventing disease.
Food as Information
Every bite of food provides instructions to your cells, influencing gene expression and metabolic pathways.
Metabolic Flexibility
Being metabolically flexible means your body can efficiently burn both glucose and fat for fuel, leading to stable energy and better health.
Action Items
Prioritize whole, unprocessed foods to nourish cellular function.
Stabilize blood sugar by pairing carbohydrates with protein and fat.
Incorporate regular movement throughout the day to improve insulin sensitivity.
Optimize sleep quality for metabolic repair and hormone regulation.
Manage stress effectively to prevent glucose spikes and inflammation.
Consider continuous glucose monitoring for personalized metabolic insights.
Core Thesis
Optimal metabolic health, driven by efficient cellular energy, is the true foundation for preventing chronic disease and achieving vibrant well-being.
Mindset Shift
Shift from treating symptoms to optimizing cellular function as the ultimate path to health and longevity.
