Dr Casey Means Book 'Good Energy': https://amzn.to/4dXiye1
Dr Means has decades of experience understanding the root cause of the most chronic health diseases, namely cancer, Alzheimer's, dementia, heart disease, and obesity.

The first section of this episode highlights why 93% of Americans are sick and why subspecialized medicine is destroying our health. Dr. Means outlines three main industries that are at the core of healthcare: big pharma, big food, and medical doctors, and the trifecta of what's causing metabolic disease: oxidative stress, metabolic dysfunction, and inflammation.
The second section of this episode explains metabolic dysfunction (in simple terms) and how we can fix our mitochondria. Dr. Means explains specific science-based protocols, including nutrition, movement, light therapy, and emotional well-being, and how they impact the mitochondria.

August 25, 2024 Ep 95 - Dr Boz | Fix Insulin Resistance Once & For All (10 COMMON Symptoms)
This episode features Dr. Annette Bosworth (Dr. Boz), who specializes in treating insulin resistance with a high fat Ketogenic Diet.
Dr Boz has over 20 years of clinical experience treating the underlying root cause of many chronic health problems: insulin resistance. In this episode, Dr Boz explains how high insulin levels lead to heart attacks, strokes, dementia, high blood pressure, hormonal dysregulation, and the mechanism by which this happens.
Access the full show notes, including referenced articles, books, and additional resources: https://www.5minutebody.com/lab/spot-insulin-resistance-no-labs-required
Dr Boz explains exactly what the hormone insulin is, its role in the body, and, most importantly, how insulin levels rise over time. We discuss the role of dietary carbohydrates and processed foods and how both feed insulin resistance.
Dr. Boz also explains the 10 signs and symptoms of insulin resistance so you can spot high insulin levels visibly without requiring blood work or labs.
Dr. Boz explains the role of a Ketogenic Diet and why ketosis (ketones) is extremely important for healing chronic inflammation. We discuss the Dr. Boz ratio, which is an adaptation of the GKI index (also used in metabolic therapy for the treatment of cancer), and what numbers you need to lose weight, heal chronic inflammation, and reverse insulin resistance.
This episode is important if you have insulin resistance. You will learn the simple science of how insulin levels become chronically elevated, how this relates to most chronic diseases and the simple signs and symptoms to spot insulin resistance.

Dr Fung discusses the key hormone of insulin, how elevated levels of insulin in the body lead to chronic inflammation, and the physiology of how this happens. Dr Fung explains how certain foods we eat elevate insulin and cause us to store fat in the fat cells. And while what we eat matters, when we eat is also important to release adipose tissue (body fat).
Dr Fung discusses the role of intermittent fasting, extended fasting, and autophagy to reduce inflammation and why the consumption of too much protein can inhibit autophagy and mitophagy. Dr. Fung also discusses the role of common weight loss medications like Ozempic and their effect on weight loss and insulin resistance.
This episode is important for anyone who is overweight, those who have tried every diet or count calories and failed, and who seek to know the science behind how to lose weight and keep it off. You will learn the science of lipolysis (how the body burns fat) and effective dietary and lifestyle protocols to improve metabolic health and fix obesity.

August 04, 2024 Ep 93 - Dr Nathan Bryan | Nitric Oxide: The Holy Grail Of Inflammation & Disease
This episode features Dr. Nathan Bryan, an expert in Nitric Oxide who specializes in reversing metabolic disease with the natural production of Nitric Oxide.
Dr Bryan has spent over 20 years researching the molecule of Nitric Oxide and it's impact on cardiovacular health as well as the prevent of chronic health conditions, namely heart attacks, strokes, dementia and Alzheimer's.
Access the full show notes, including referenced articles, books, and additional resources: https://www.5minutebody.com/lab/nitric-oxide-the-holy-grail-of-inflammation-disease-how-to-naturally-increase-nitric-oxide
In this episode Dr Bryan discusses the two ways our body produces Nitric Oxide via the Nitric Oxide Synthase pathway and the enterosalivary nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide (NO) pathway. Dr Bryan explains how both Nitric Oxide pathways promote vasodilation (the widerning of the arteries) and help with blood pressure regulation.
We discuss how you lose Nitric Oxide production as we age through western medicine, diet, and lifestyle factors. Dr Bryan discusses the dangers of using antiseptic mouthwash on the oral microbiome, the use of antacids and the connection to dementia, heart attacks and stroke and dietary protocols to increase Nitric Oxide production.
This episode is important for anyone who seeks to understand the cause of chronic disease, and for those who seek to optimise their heart and cardiovascular function. You will learn the science of the four hallmarks of chronic inflammation which is leading to heart attacks, stroke and dementia, the science of how Nitric Oxide prevents all chronic disease, and how to naturally increase Nitric Oxide production.
