When it Comes to Health, Trust Yourself




She notes that as our country:


  • Creates more medical subspecialties

  • Spends more on healthcare costs

  • Prescribes more pills

  • Builds more gyms

  • Publishes more nutrition and exercise studies


We are actually getting… sicker. And life expectancy is going… down.


The more we seem to do and spend, the worse things are getting. What gives?


The answer lies in the simple fact that we are pointing the arrow of all that cost and effort at the wrong problem. We are focused on the downstream manifestations of diseases, rather than on the cellular physiology that causes the disease itself. Therefore, no matter how much we do and how much we spend, we won’t get better. Dr. Means argues that we could specialize infinitely, drug infinitely, and spend infinitely, and it won’t fix our suffering. We MUST shift our collective energy on the real issue that is brewing inside of the vast majority of our cells: metabolic dysfunction.


Dr. Means suggests that the siloing and medicalization of chronic disease in the past fifty years has been an abject failure. Today, we’ve siloed diseases and have a treatment for everything:


✅ High cholesterol? See a cardiologist for a statin.

✅ High fasting glucose? See an endocrinologist for metformin.

✅ Depressed? See a psychiatrist for a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).

✅ Can’t sleep? See a sleep specialist for Ambien.

✅ PCOS? See an ob-gyn for clomiphene.

✅ Erectile dysfunction? See a urologist for Viagra.

✅ Sinus infections? See an ENT for an antibiotic or surgery.


But what nobody talks about, and what Dr. Means points out that many doctors don’t even realize, is that the rates of most of these conditions are going up at the exact time we are spending trillions of dollars to “treat them.”


The answer to the future of health and prosperity will actually be all about connection, not siloes. We will rectify the plummeting state of American health when we truly internalize the following 4 key connections around us, including the…


1. Connection between the root causes of nearly ALL of our symptoms and diseases through metabolic dysfunction and the trifecta of Bad Energy.
2. Connection between our bodies and the natural world, including sun, soil, air, food, water.
3. Connection between humans in deep trusting relationships as a foundation for nervous system regulation. Loneliness is killing us.
4. Connection between life and death is an endless cycle that we are a part of.

When we internalize these realities, we build a foundation for the future of health on real, solid footing. We focus on healing metabolic dysfunction, rather than playing whack-a-mole with the downstream symptoms of that dysfunction. We focus on wellness behaviors and daily habits that honor our inextricable link to the sun, soil, air, our food, and water by buying and eating organic clean food, getting outside, drinking clean water, and breathing fresh air. We focus on creating the space and time to connect deeply with friends and loved ones in real life. And we meditate on the true nature of our lives as part of an eternal and miraculous process of matter and energy that is awe-inspiring, not scary.


From this solid footing, we cultivate a wellspring of abundance in our life that is the foundation for true health and healing for ourselves and our system. Dr. Means promises that “Through reading Good Energy, you’ll gain a clear and accessible roadmap for incredible mental and physical health, for today and in the future.”


The great news is that we are living in a time when we have the POTENTIAL to live the longest and healthiest lives in human history. How? Because the following realities have all converged at this moment in time.


We have access to:


  1. Every piece of published biomedical research is at the tip of our fingers.

  2. Direct to consumer lab testing, wearable devices, and biosensors that give us a more granular picture of our own health than ever before.

  3. The vast and incalculable health wisdom from global traditions and cultures through books and the web.

  4. An evidence-based understanding that developing body awareness (also known as “interoception”) and seeing our symptoms as clues from the body about what it needs can tell us an immense amount about how to move forward in our health journey
