Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health by Casey Means
informative
medium-paced
4.25
Good Energy doesn’t hold back in telling the truth about the for profit systems - medical and food manufacturing - that are failing people. The book is comprehensive and accessible. I appreciate the practical strategies for me and my family. Some of the information isn’t new to me - because I have an awesome and educated friend who has been teaching me for years - yet I find the organization and lists in Good Energy helpful. I also like the title which reminds me that the strategies are addressing root issues to reduce risks of disease.
Casey Means does her research and presents an educated, clear, and compelling case for seeing the whole human (not body systems) when looking at chronic issues versus acute and working together (food manufacturers, regulators, and eaters) to improve metabolic/overall health. Yes, please and thank you.
Beyond the practical strategies, what I enjoyed most was Casey Means narratives on the realities in the hospital. Her real world experiences (and those of Callie Means from the business world) gave the book’s information validity and credibility. At times there are some questionable tangents but because they were part memoir, these parts were not a total distraction. I recommend this book and I will be following both authors, praying that they use their influence to make systemic changes for all of us.
