Commune with Jeff Krasno Metabolism Is Power with Dr. Casey Means
Oct 30, 2025
Dr. Casey Means, a physician and expert in metabolic health, argues that the key to tackling America's health crisis lies in understanding metabolism, not just medication. She reveals that over 93% of U.S. adults suffer from poor metabolic health, emphasizing the link between metabolic dysfunction and chronic diseases. Casey discusses how lifestyle choices and modern habits harm our cellular biology, while recommending practical tweaks like outdoor movement, stable blood sugar, and light hygiene to optimize health. She also highlights the benefits of wearables to track and improve metabolic inputs.

Episode notes
Metabolism Is The Root Cause
- Metabolic dysfunction underlies most modern chronic diseases and is the common root of many rising health problems.
- A 2022 study found 93.2% of U.S. adults have poor metabolic health, leaving only 6.8% metabolically optimal.
Cellular Power Explains Diverse Diseases
- Mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation are the cellular mechanisms behind metabolic disease.
- Different cell types failing to make energy produce varied diseases based on tissue-specific dysfunction.
Cells Receive And Emit Light
- Human metabolism captures solar energy via food and mitochondria, and cells also emit ultra-weak photons (biophotons).
- Biophoton coherence relates to metabolic health: dysfunctional cells emit more chaotic photons.
