Dr. Casey Means is the Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of the metabolic health company Levels. She chats with Dr. Anthony Gustin about the eight “pillars” of metabolic health and how to reach your peak state.

 

Metabolic dysfunction is at the root of almost all modern health conditions. Those diseases are responsible for 9/10 of the leading causes of death in the US.

 

So Dr. Gustin and Dr. Casey kick off their conversation by discussing the two biggest ways society is harming our cells and underpowering our bodies. 

 

Then they explore what it takes to overcome those obstacles, stop being a “product” for corporations to exploit, and take back your health.

 

Along the way, the pair discuss topics like:

• The problematic concept of exercise

• What people don’t understand about prediabetes

• The truth about triglycerides vs. LDL cholesterol 

• How to assess your metabolic health (& the most important test to get)

• Leveraging CGM data as an effective biofeedback tool (it’s more than noticing blood sugar spikes)

• The best tips to improve your metabolic health, from easy to advanced

• How to win a free Levels kit!
