Listening to Doctor Means is like going to the tree of knowledge. I thought I had read my last book on personal health, but after listening to this interview.I'm gonna have to read one more.

Nothing but love for Casey Means. She is amazing. ❤ Thank you for this wonderful interview!

[craiglueck]

Incredible. We need more of this straight talk with clear science support. This metabolic movement is very hopeful. Thank you.

"...I was eating shit cafeteria food."
You nailed it, doctor! I'm a retired nurse. The health care system is just as bad as everywhere else for serving the unhealthiest choices in hospital cafeterias, conferences, lectures, etc. We need to clean up what we are doing & lead by example.

Over the past 3 weeks I've come across Dr. Casey Means on one podcast or another at least half a dozen times and her face is all but plastered across my YT suggestion list. Three days ago I ran into an issue with my Levels shipment so I emailed their support team who did a phnomonal job. Well above and beyond. Since I hadn't been on their site for almost a year, I decided to check it out again. I knew that Mark Hyman, David Sinclair and David Perlmutter were advisors, it's how I found out about Levels in the first place. What I didn't realize was that Ben Bikman and Casey Means were as well. Sometimes the universe has to slap your into consciousness. LOL. Just bought the book, it should be here next week. Meanwhile I downloaded the Audible version. Thanks for having her on.

[Sandra-podz]

I love the all things she says and the aspects she touches

[tamaradavis]

I love what you say. I told my endocrinologist that one day I was fine and the next day I wasn’t. A switch was flipped and I need to switch it back . He told me that this is how I was made, and that these are conditions that I was predisposed to.

[Yaaae]

I loved the spiritual side Dr Casey spoke so passionately about. In Islam the Quran mentions not only death but also the after life, and God uses the parable of how he gives life back to the earth through rainfall after it has died and indeed us human beings will also be brought back to life after death but in a different realm.

Incredible 🤩 I will listen multiple times

[sirwalksoftly]

A science focused Surgeon General, let's see!

[SweetP]

Our bodies want to be healthy, and it's amazing how we are still alive even with all the assault we are getting from our environment, typical American diet, stress, etc.

[EyepowerRedredlightglasses]

Great conversation, many thanks both 👍

[raybartell]

Dr.What are your thoughts on red rye yeast?

[raybartell]

Dr. Casey means what should we do? My daughter has Hashimoto disease

[gaylemuir]

We are living through a time in history where we see a paradigm shift in our medical system which over the past few decades has been corrupted and captured by food industries and pharmaceutical industries. We recently discovered that we need to pay attention to our gut bacteria and how it’s been affected by factors in the environment like glyphosate and pesticides and PFAS chemicals. I’ve been eating organic foods most of my life but regretfully ate from Teflon for years because of my ignorance of the forever chemicals. This paradigm shift may save humanity as well as our now fragile environment.

Blame Google, blue light, 5g, 8g 12g... ADDICTION TO YOUR SCREEN ! We ALL are now living in a microwave atmospheric oven 😢.

[Pattim]

JUST BOUGHT CASEYS BOOK. HOW CAN YOU GET OFF SSRI FOR DEPRESSION

[ralphhardie]

Dr Means has good audio... Thank you doc.

Interviewer poor audio...buy a clip on mic..$15

[britta]

Good content, but be careful when you say things can be cleaned up in a couple of weeks. There are people who have cleaned up what they eat, drink, who exercise, have great sleep hygiene and work to regulate the nervous system and still suffer to some degree. It is complicated and some variables are out of our control. Please don’t make quick
promises. It is more often a process than “this will be fixed by doing this”

[JRMenda]

Dr Means, Jesus is the WAY the Truth and LIFE ....
