Metabolic dysfunction is a serious epidemic in the US. It’s at the root of almost all modern health conditions and diseases.

Worse? There’s virtually no action from our leaders to fix this national health crisis.

So in this episode, I chat with Dr. Casey Means about what we can do to combat all the ways society fundamentally harms our bodies, makes us a “product” to exploit, and undermines our health goals.

Prediabetes isn’t a ‘pre-disease;’ it’s full-blown insulin resistance that’s been going on for years under the radar. But treatment is nonexistent in the US. Share on X
