A simple, honest review of Dr. Casey Means' bestseller, and how it inspired real lifestyle changes
Reading Good Energy felt like being handed a missing piece of the puzzle, one I didn’t know I was searching for. Dr. Casey Means takes a topic as complex as metabolism and makes it deeply human, relatable, and empowering. She doesn’t just throw data at you, she invites you to understand your body at the cellular level and gives you tools to take control of your health in a world that often pushes us toward confusion, quick fixes, or resignation.
What stood out most to me was the clarity. Dr. Means explains why so many seemingly different health issues—brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, infertility, chronic illness, might actually stem from the same root problem: poor metabolic function. And more importantly, she shows how we can start healing, not with extreme routines, but with practical steps backed by science and grounded in personal stories.
That said, not everything felt immediately accessible. Some of the suggestions—like cutting all refined carbs or adopting intense lifestyle shifts, might feel overwhelming at first. But I appreciated that the book doesn’t push perfection. The message is clear: small, intentional changes can lead to big improvements, and awareness is the first step.
What makes Good Energy more than a health book is its tone. It feels like it's written by someone who genuinely wants you to feel better, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. It left me feeling hopeful, not because it promised miracles, but because it reminded me that my body isn’t broken—it’s adaptable, resilient, and worthy of care.
If you're tired of feeling tired, or you’re curious about why your body feels off despite doing “all the right things,” this book is a great place to begin. It doesn’t claim to have all the answers, but it offers something better: a path to ask better questions and feel more in tune with yourself.
