The media is disgusting! It has turned eating into a sport! Dr Lustig you said this once on one of your podcasts and I never forgot it. I share this quote with many people giving you full credit of course 😊
“Any food that is connected to a television commercial should not be consumed.“

I am a doctor myself. I solute you both ! Thank you for caring about people!

Dear Casey:

Your work and dedication toward doing what need to be done, as well as Dr. Lustig's and many others that follow your lead, ( and I am one of them) are truly an act of God and his will.
Thank both of you,

Two of my favorite people on the topic of metabolic health!!! ❤💙

[LovesTruth]

I appreciate you both tremendously, and am SO grateful for the work you are doing. It is a passion of mine as well. I was an RN and left my field at 52 years old. I just couldn’t participate in the sick care model anymore. I am seeking to find out what role I may play in this revolution. Education, political involvement, coaching, etc. There’s a place for me somewhere. Thanks SO much for what you both do. Robert, I have and treasure your book, Metabolical, and Casey, yours is one I am about to purchase. Blessings to you both!

Thank you both for your information. It’s seems like more and more we have to self diagnose and take action on our own. This is a good thing. Thank you both so much.

Great conversation I Iove both Dr Casey and Dr Lustig. ❤

[markbrady]

Casey and her brother Calley are awesome! I just received my copy of Good Energy, can't wait to read it. I am also a big fan of Dr Lustig. Have his book Metabolical, great book as well. I have great respect for this community of Drs. Their nutritional advice is so much better than what I get from my 'regular' Drs ... Keep up the great work!

Imagine what harm, rather than good, Fruit Jucier did! Thanks for the terrific knowledge.

[dageide]

Your soo good both of You. I am learning and wrighting a lot, have done 2 1/2 year now and planning to do eyeopening stands and lectures, specially thanks to You, Ben Bickman and Jason Fung, THANK YOU.

[michellethaler]

Dr Casey and Dr L are powerhouses for sure! However, you are preaching to the choir. Most of us who devour your content already know the gospel. I wish there was a way to convert those who don't. As an educator in this field, I still haven't found the "how" to do it.

[Novilicious]

Love you both!!! ❤ Thanks for putting this together 😊

[valeriativnan]

Lifestyle medicine will revolutionize healthcare!

[sallysalsonoak]

I love the passion and wisdom from both of you. We live in a very strange world where those of us who can see this truth, try to influence others so that they can be saved from the food and pharmaceutical industries who bow to the God of accumulating wealth. They know full well the devastation they are causing to the human race and that’s what’s making this all so sinister!!!! Keep shining the light of truth in this dark world and know that you are ambassadors for all of us who were created to have a vibrant and fulfilling life with purpose and calling. I can’t thank you both enough. Keep fighting the good fight. S (UK)

Great information. Every time I listen Rob or Casey I extrapolate new information which I can apply to my business and my personal life!

[SuperSpiroman]

Love your book casey, thank you. May our lord Christ bless you and guide you 🙏
