When we use this practice to assess the metabolic diseases we see today, we can see we’re in an energy crisis. We’re wrapped up in a web of physiologic root causes, but also a web of policies, industries, and economic incentives impacting our health from the ground up. I loved discussing all this and more on this episode of the podcast with Dr. Casey Means. We take a deep dive into:

Why we need to reimagine the healthcare system and how to use Functional Medicine as a framework for asking “why?”

Using metabolic health as a barometer for our challenges as a society 

A stark reality: Every institution related to our health makes money off of sickness

Combining advanced technology with our own awareness to take back control of our health

Five affordable biomarkers of metabolic syndrome to start with 

And so much more!
