As someone who has spent years studying health, nutrition, and longevity, I can confidently say that Good Energy by Dr. Casey Means is the most profound and transformative books on health I have ever read. This book is not just another wellness guide, it’s a paradigm shift in how we understand the root causes of disease, the power of metabolic health, and what it truly means to thrive. Even more so, her insight into regenerative agriculture, spirituality and environmentalism is profound.Dr. Means masterfully weaves together cutting-edge science, ancestral wisdom, and practical strategies to help readers reclaim their health at the cellular level. Her insights on mitochondrial function, inflammation, and how our modern lifestyle is hijacking our well-being are eye-opening. Unlike many health books that focus on quick fixes, Good Energy provides a holistic framework for sustainable vitality, one that is empowering, deeply researched, and actionable.What sets this book apart is Dr. Means' ability to break down complex concepts in a way that is both accessible and inspiring. She doesn't just tell you what to do, she explains why it matters, making it impossible to ignore the profound impact our daily choices have on our long-term health. Whether you're a seasoned health enthusiast or just starting your wellness journey, this book will change the way you think about food, movement, stress, and sleep.I’ve read countless books on health, but Good Energy stands out as the best. It’s not just a book, it’s a blueprint for a life filled with energy, clarity, and true well-being. If you care about your health, this is a must-read.

This is a must-read for every home! Full of information to help us eat the best food to fuel our body so it performs to it's maximum. Start your children out with a breakfast so they can learn and not be sluggish, a lunch to give them energy and a dinner that doesn't poison them.

Did you ever go online to find a recipe and have to read through a 300+ word personal story of their life with the condiment? Well, this is a bit of that, on organic steroids.Similar to Heather’s book “A Hunter Gather’s Guide…” Casey connects our current bad health outcomes to our disconnection from our ancestor’s ancient lifestyles i.e. sleeping when it’s dark, eating fresh fruits and fish, avoiding chemicals and stress.Much of the advice here is helpful, some of it nearly absurd. Not that it’s wrong but impractical for most people. For example getting outside for sunlight within the first hour of waking up, as if we all sleep until 9 AM. In this part of the country in the winter the kids get on the school bus at 645 AM and the sunrise is an hour later than that. I promise you won’t need to stand in an ice cold shower if your fingers and toes have slight bluish tint after spending the last 2 hours shoveling your driveway.Casey repeats Heather’s advice to eat some psilocybin mushrooms. Putting aside that they fail to warn you of the grave danger to yourself and others if you have a family history of mental illness that can cause an onset of schizophrenia. I’m sorry if you missed out on the 1970’s, but advising a nurse mom and a cop dad of 3 pre-teens to drop acid and drop out is not helpful.More helpful is thinking of your diet and lifestyle at the metabolic level. Considering what messages your environment, diet, sleep etc. send to you at the cellular level. She backs up her thesis with facts, though too often relies on very small studies that happen to support her views. The medical jargon can get overwhelming at times, and a bit tedious, unless you’re a medical professional.I will certainly think much more carefully about what I’m putting into my pie-hole. The 4 week checklist was way more than I’m willing to buy in to, but at my cellular level, I do appreciate her advice. Recommended reading for humans.

Great book! Filled with so much information. It explains how everything fits together and how to approach health on a daily basis. This is information I wish I knew earlier in life to build good habits instead of having to relearn at an older age.

I was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome a decade ago. At that time, my health care practitioner recommended a number of supplements as well as intermittent fasting. While the results were great, I lost interest in continuing the plethora of supplements, not only due to the cost, but the strange side effects I was experiencing.Over the next decade, I grew increasingly confused by contradictory nutritional guidelines.I bought this book because my lack of energy was becoming concerning. I did not expect much as this was an impulse buy.I WAS WRONG. This book has changed my relationship with food, and more importantly my relationship with my body. The writing is clear and concise with data and verifiable research, which provides credibility in my mind.Everyone should read this book and incorporate these guidelines.I have since also purchased the kindle edition so I can pass the physical copy on to my loved ones.Thank you to Casey Means. You have truly changed my life for the better. After six weeks, I have lost 10 pounds, regulated my blood sugar, and my energy is restored.

I enjoyed the book. It had a lot of good information in it.
