Dr. Casey Means is a passionate health advocate, sought-after expert in metabolic health and personalized medicine, and author of Good Energy. As the co-founder of Levels, a company dedicated to optimizing metabolic health through continuous glucose monitoring and data insight, Dr. Means has spent her career empowering individuals to take control of their health through education and cutting-edge technology.
Now, Dr. Means is shifting her focus inward, exploring how she can better care for her overall well-being and find ways to feel better with Genova Connect's Metabolomix+ Nutritional Test. Known for her evidence-based approach and dedication to finding the root cause of health imbalances, she aims to uncover the keys to sustained energy and overall well-being - what she calls Good Energy. Good vibes all around, don't you think?
As an expert in metabolic health, Dr. Means understands that nutrition is foundational to every system in the body. Poor nutrition can lead to a cascade of chronic diseases and energy deficits. The Metabolomix+ Comprehensive Nutritional Test measures over 125 key biomarkers - including fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and toxins like heavy metals. This test uses urine and blood spot samples collected at home to provide a 360-degree view of your unique nutritional needs and biochemical status.
Reflecting on her choice, Dr. Means says, "I LOVE this test because it is so comprehensive, and the results include practical and actionable advice on what nutrition your body needs (through supplements AND through food) based on your personal data. I used to recommend a similar test from Genova Diagnostics to my patients all the time when I had my functional medicine private practice."
In her book, Good Energy, Dr. Means delves into how imbalances in inflammation, mitochondrial health, and oxidative stress can create what she calls the "trifecta of bad energy," leading to metabolic dysfunction. She believes understanding these underlying factors can help people make more informed decisions about their nutrition and lifestyle.
To explore these concepts further, Dr. Means teamed up with Dr. Patti Devers, Chief Clinical Officer, and Dr. Michael Chapman, Director of Product Innovation at Genova Diagnostics, to analyze her Metabolomix+ test results. Together, they explored how her own low-carb diet and intermittent fasting regimen impact critical biochemical pathways, organic acids, and Mitochondrial Dysfunction, including the role of acetyl-CoA in metabolism. These insights provided her with valuable information to fine-tune her approach to nutrition and health.
Dr. Means is inviting everyone to follow her journey to better energy and vitality. Head over to her YouTube Channel, where she breaks down her Metabolomix+ test results and shares practical advice for optimizing your nutrition and lifestyle. You can also catch her engaging content on Instagram and TikTok, where she offers tips on achieving your own Good Energy.
