We hear the phrase, “metabolic health” a lot, but do we really know what that means? And, more importantly, how much do we understand the massive impact that metabolic health has on literally every system of our body?
Today, we explore that line of thinking with Dr. Casey Means.
Casey was trained as an ear, nose, and throat surgeon, but in recent years, she has become a self-proclaimed “Food as Medicine” evangelist.
Why would she make such a drastic change in a successful budding career? Well, as you’ll hear today, Dr. Means (like most doctors) pursued medicine in order to help people, but started realizing that most illnesses - even those she was treating as an ENT surgeon- came back to a person’s level of inflammation and poor metabolic health. So, as a surgeon, she was playing the proverbial “whack-a-mole” with the problems but never identifying the root causation.
Now, she’s on a mission to create a healthier world through her company, LEVELS Health - a continuous glucose monitor company - along with her upcoming book, Good Energy.
Today, we focus our conversation on exactly what metabolic health really means, as well as the Nine Elements of Metabolic Health. Casey also discusses the importance of metabolic health as it relates to exercise and sexual health.
Fantastic interview. Such an incredible young doctor. Thank you for all you do 🙏🏽
This was one of the best podcasts You have had , So educational! Thanks
This was a fantastic interview. I hope to see more of her on the podcast and interview circuit!
I’m new to exploring the WFPB community and I always look forward to a new Plantstrong podcast. It’s such an informative channel! I’m learning just how cherished the entire Esselstyn family is in the community. Good health to all 🙏🏼
Wow I love Casey so so much! Her knowledge is incredible!!!
Wow!!! What a beautiful, INTELLIGENT, and OH SO RELATABLE young woman!!!! I definitely scooted over to Amazon to pre-order her book and can’t wait to dive right in to learn more to help myself. Such a heartbreaking side-story about Casey’s mom. Thank you, Casey, for trying with all your heart to help the rest of us the way you wish you could have helped your mom. ❤
Excellent interview! Dr Casey Means business!
Wow! I love this woman! What a powerhouse of knowledge… people like her help keep me on my path. She inspired me to keep going as a nutritarian Thank you!
Best Plantstrong podcast ever!! Dr Means is so knowledgeable, articulate and engaging! A huge amount excellent information in a short time. I'll look forward to hearing her again and to her book release next May.
Wonderful interview! I would love more specifics on what Dr. Means eats in a day.😀
Since when is Casey Means plantstrong? She’s been keto forever. She’s a big supporter of Robert Lustig who’s very anti-WFPB. She’s also another doctor that got disillusioned, “left” medicine and started their own practice that caters to white, rich people that can afford her specialized care. She’s insanely passionate about health for the rich. Another glaring example of why WFPB lifestyle will never really be mainstream. By the way, many people in the US don’t have jobs that offer medical benefits never mind HSAs that can purchase your overpriced products.
Rip, I don't know if you read your comments but balsamic vinegar is a simple probiotic to add to everything. I LOVE❤️ pomegranate balsamic drizzled over my oats!!Credit to Essy for getting me hooked on balsamic, any other vinegar is not palatable to me.
I don't think I have ever listened to a podcast TWICE until THIS ONE! Remarkable information, which gave me a shot of inspiration that I really needed. Please get her back on the podcast soon! Thank you!
As a doctor, retired surgeon, I just couldn’t agree more with Dr. Means. She’s got the jump on our chronic disease problems here in the US! Listen, learn then lead!
One of the better podcasts about the WFPB diet
WOW Dr Means can you PLEASE come & give this message to OUR ENT department??? UVM Med Center! 😁😁😁 I wish ALL ENT docs knew this!!!!
Wow!!! What an accomplishment! HSA / FSA approval for PLANTSTRONG FOODS. Thank you for the time and effort required for this to happen 🙏🏼
Yes, congratulations! But it’s not the only healthy way to eat. In fact, can you really say a plant- based diet (at least a vegan diet) is healthy if it requires that people eating only plants take supplements? Not everybody can covert the vitamins and minerals in plants into the actual vitamins and minerals in animal foods. In fact B-12 only comes from animal foods.
@@bonnieo8b12 only comes from animal foods? Do you know how animals get b12? And then people hate vegans! The misinformation that meat eaters spread is like another level.
I absolutely love this conversation. I learned about chia seeds and add them to as many foods as possible
As a vegan I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. WHAT??? I started looking for answers and found your videos. I was a junk food vegan. Help! Can I reverse osteoporosis?
Dr Casey is incredible. Please invite her again. You have done a great interview with her. ❤
Hmmm… Casey Means through her Levels app has access to tons of good information about how particular foods impact BG’s. I’m wondering why she works so hard to be plant-based-even to the point of creating imitation-type foods-at least when it comes to primarily health reasons, when she can see that low carb keeps BG more stable and lower throughout the day. Whole foods are definitely healthy, but absolutely every indigenous group around the world is centered around meat and meat fat. Each culture eats local and their diets vary as to how much carbohydrates they eat, but no group can exist without some animal protein.
This woman is a joy to listen to ❤️
Great interview!!
Thank you. This is another podcast that should go viral. I hope many watch this.❤
Wonderful guest!
I have a daughter named Casey. Fun Fact: If you are east of the Mississippi you are more likely a girl and if you are west of the Mississippi more likely a boy.
Hey Rip! Got your book, hoping it helps my bp
38:37 Such a high tolerance for dissonance leads me to believe that those incumbents would easily omit an apostrophe .The systemic inertia is really a gross corruption .
sit higher be more of the "youtube window" what you are saying is direct and powerful look like it is as fantastic as you are
40:15 This is actually a particular instance of the more general seductive attraction to the tech fix . This allure combined with status and hubris is a hard nut .
You’re Amazing Good Doctor !
Sorry won’t be eating any animal products
What is a polyphenol supplement that she talked about in the study with Mediterranean diet? In am Wfpb but have had trouble with A Flutter and lost a 1:30:55 large amount of blood . I have been eating too much trying to feel better. I think i now have insulin resistance. I still eat my meals correct but eat between meals . Anyway i need some help to get under control.
Yes more on insulin resistance.
This was a great interview, some things over my head.
Thinks Rip for these great interview s
Casey is incorrect about Basil seeds. They are not higher in omega 3s than chia. Chia is higher.
Ohhh! I really would have liked to hear about optimal food pairing.
4 cans of bean is 36g of fiber how about 75g of fiber.
Please interview Dr Fuhrman
My mother died from pancreatic too and her mother had an 18 pound baby ! I’m worried as I’m headed to that that is why I’m going plant strong! Very informative Dr. Means !
Excellent
