A problem right now is that we don't have a single lab test that says this is how your mitochondria are doing. And so we can show people their blood sugar and help them really exquisitely understand what causes it to be high or erratic. It's sort of a proxy for understanding your metabolic health. If you're also affecting all those other factors, like the stress and the sleep and the microbiome factors, micronutrients, exercise, etc., you're going to start seeing your blood sugar levels get more stable as well.
If you weren’t paying attention to your health before the last few years, you are now. Question is, what should we actually be paying attention to? And, are there major things, early or even real-time indicators that could tell us how our day-to-day choices are affecting everything from our energy to level of pain, inflammation, fatigue, mental health and risk of chronic illness or life-altering disease, but that most of us are missing?
These are the questions I pose to today’s guest, Dr. Casey Means, as we explore the world of metabolic and mitochondrial health and how technology is now becoming available on more of a mass scale that can help us reclaim control over so many aspects of our immediate and long-term wellbeing. And even guide our behavioral choices, from food to movement to meditation in real-time. And, I also share my own experience running my own, personal experiments with this emerging tech.
