Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health

Abstract

Optimizing Our Health, Now and in the Future In her book, Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health, Casey Means, MD explains the importance of good energy and metabolic health on the proper functioning of the human body. Means explains how she became invested in good energy after the death of her mother. Her mother was diagnosed with pancreat- ic cancer less than two weeks before she died. Her mother had been trying for years to get her health under control but still fell prey to this disease. Means believes that much of what under- lies lifestyle diseases as well as cancers including the pancreatic cancer that took her mother’s life is poorly functioning cells within the body. When cells are not fueled properly, the body suffers, and this is exhibited in any number of symptoms and diseases including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The first part of Means’s book explains why good energy is important. The latter parts of the book lay out a plan for readers to follow to get their cells working properly and to minimize or eliminate both the development and the symptoms of disease.
