Jonathan Fields: I think when you step back for just a minute and look at the healthcare system in America as a whole, it really breaks down quickly. We're spending over $4 trillion a year on healthcare costs right now; majority of which is going towards chronic disease management. Every single year, our chronic disease rates are going up. People are getting sicker. And how can science and tech begin to change the game and give people more power in making better decisions before we unwittingly head down the road to declining wellness?
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.
