Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health

I'm only halfway through the book, but implemented the dietary advice (with about 75% success) and noticed a startling immediate, observable, objective benefit. Three years ago I suffered back-to-back c.diff. infections (due to a lengthy course of a broad spectrum antibiotic) and my intestines have not functioned properly ever since. I decided to eat 3 cups of leafy greens daily (easy if you simply eat them plain, as a snack food) and cut out most processed food. I am forming stools for the first time in years! I am a grateful believer!

Just started to read this book and already LOVE IT! I will have to order more to give out as a gift to my doctors, to people and family I love ! It’s an ultimate guide for better help, and live healthy , age gratefully and navigate in our American broken health system, toxins and lifestyle with food we are forced to live in everyday!

So far so good. Megyn Kelly had the author on one of her podcasts and I was impressed with the interview. Just started reading, but it is really a deep dive into how we can take better care of ourselves. So far I like it.

While this book is full of very useful information and the “changes” Dr. Means encourages you to make are equally easy to implement, I would NOT spend the extra money for the spiral bound version. They have cut the hard bound apart to make into the spiral bound but in punching the holes, you lose information because they punch through the print. This leaves you trying to decipher that missing information. Just get the hardbound copy.

This is the best book I’ve read on metabolic health, ever. It’s such an engaging read, I could not put it down (can’t say the same for “Outlive” which was good but very dense and reads like a textbook).This truly is a must read - I ordered one for my parents in Brazil too.

Great book! Looking forward to getting sometrackers and assessing where my health is. If you are interested in improving your health, read this book!

Great book! Very helpful and inspiring.

I’m not a doctor or in the food industry but I’ve been in the beauty industry for a very long time and was disappointed to see that the book recommends EWG as a source of checking if cosmetic ingredients are safe. As any beauty expert will tell you, EWG doesn’t consider concentration or usage (leave on vs rinse off), which significantly impacts if an ingredient is safe or not. Context is important: we need water to survive but you’re not going to drink 3 liter of water at once. Although I was really into this book at the beginning, if the author is recommending EWG I wonder what else is not accurate.
