Transform Your Health by Improving Metabolism, Hormone & Blood Sugar Regulation | Dr. Casey Means

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Casey Means, M.D., a physician
trained at Stanford University School of Medicine, an expert on
metabolic health and the author of the book, "Good Energy." We
discuss how to leverage nutrition, exercise and environmental
factors to enhance your metabolic health by improving mitochondrial
function, hormone and blood sugar regulation.  We also explore
how fasting, deliberate cold exposure and spending time in
nature can impact metabolic health, how to control food cravings
and how to assess your metabolic health using blood testing,
continuous glucose monitors and other tools.  Metabolic
dysfunction is a leading cause of chronic disease, obesity and
reduced lifespan around the world. Conversely, improving your
mitochondrial and metabolic health can positively affect your
health span and longevity. Listeners of this episode
will learn low- and zero-cost tools to improve their metabolic
health, physical and mental well-being, body composition and target
the root cause of various common diseases. For show notes,
