317: Why Metabolic Dysfunction is Ruining Our Health and What to Do About It with Stanford MD, Dr. Casey Means

Casey Means, MD, is a Stanford-trained physician and co-founder of Levels, a health technology company that aims to reverse the world’s metabolic health crisis. She received her BA with honors and MD from Stanford, was President of her Stanford class, and has served on Stanford faculty. She trained in Head & Neck Surgery before leaving traditional medicine to devote her life to tackling the root cause of why Americans are sick. In this episode, we discuss metabolic dysfunction and how it’s at the core of chronic illness in our country. We explore the rise of diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety, PCOS, and depression and what simple measures you can take to avoid them in the future. Dr. Means also weighs in on why our healthcare system is broken, what’s happening within our cells to make us sick, how to treat symptoms preventatively, and how to thrive in a modern, toxic world.
