Episode 126: Dr Casey Means

This week, an interesting departure into the field of nutrition and metabolism, with Stanford-educated physician, metabolic health expert, and Co-founder / Chief Medical Officer of Levels Health, Dr Casey Means. We know that diet, nutrition, and metabolism are critically important to overall health, regardless of other behaviours and considerations in life. As it has been said - you can't out-exercise a bad diet. You can't out-relax or out-meditate it, either. But given that there is such a glut of information out there on diet, nutrition, and metabolism, it can be hard to know who to believe, which metrics to trust, where to focus for the optimal result. Enter Casey Means and Levels - a unique biodfeedback system that measures real-time blood glucose levels in order to help you make connections between your lifestyle choices, your unique metabolism, and your overall health.  Here, we get into:

• Why metabolism is so important to overall health
• Why individuals process the same foods in different ways
• Why "a calorie is a calorie" is an incomplete and misleading model for human nutrition
• How sleep, stress, and movement affect metabolism
