We are joined by Dr. Casey Means, a Stanford trained Physician turned digital healthcare entrepreneur. She's a co-founder of Levels Health, a startup focusing on maximizing diet and exercise through continuous blood glucose monitoring. 

We talk about Casey's origin story, medicine as pattern recognition, health economics,  her road from surgery to digital health. 

We focus on the latest research in metabolic health, like this Cell paper. We discuss optimal metabolic health, the various factors that play into an individual's glycemic response: the gut microbiome, stress, genetics, and exercise. 

We both recommend Sam Harris and his WakingUp app for meditation. Casey has a great hot tip for us and recommends some amazing Portland waterfalls. 

Enjoy!
