Sunlight plays a crucial role in metabolism by impacting vitamin D production, serotonin activity, and clock gene expression. The sun's energy catalyzes glucose creation in photosynthesis, influencing insulin sensitivity, glucose uptake, and metabolic pathways.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is a groundbreaking tool that allows real-time tracking of metabolism. By monitoring glucose levels every 10-15 minutes, individuals can understand how food choices, exercise, and stress impact their glucose control, insulin resistance, and overall metabolic health.
Micronutrients, including vitamins and minerals, are crucial for various metabolic processes in the body. They act as structural components of proteins, co-factors for cellular reactions, and antioxidants. Foods like liver, pumpkin seeds, and colorful vegetables provide essential micronutrients for optimal metabolic function.
Toxins, such as obesity-gens from various sources, disrupt metabolic pathways and impact weight regulation. These chemicals directly increase fat mass and cause inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and gene mutations, affecting metabolism and overall health.
Disturbances in circadian rhythms affect metabolic health by disrupting natural light-dark cycles. Proper exposure to bright morning light and minimizing blue light at night helps regulate hormones, mood, and metabolic pathways, aiding in weight management and overall well-being.

For decades, I’ve been on a mission to help my patients understand that weight loss is not about “calories in, calories out”. There are a multitude of factors that play into how our body makes, stores, and burns fat and the actual amount of calories we eat is one small drop in the bucket of our complex biology. Today, I’m excited to talk with Dr. Casey Means about the main drivers people face when struggling to lose weight and what we can do about them.
Dr. Casey 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. Her mission is to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tools that can facilitate a deep understanding of our bodies and inform personalized and sustainable dietary and lifestyle choices. Dr. Means’ perspective has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Men's Health, Forbes, Business Insider, Techcrunch, Entrepreneur Magazine, Metabolism, Endocrine Today, and more.
