We all know that stress can have a negative impact on our health, but did you know that fear can too? In this podcast episode, Dr. Casey Means dives deep into the link between fear, stress, and metabolic dysfunction.  She explains how chronic stress, childhood trauma, and even the media can all contribute to chronic inflammation, which is linked to metabolic dysfunction and a variety of chronic diseases.

Dr. Means is a Stanford-trained physician, Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of metabolic health company Levels, an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention, and a Lecturer at Stanford University.
