Dr Means has decades of experience understanding the root cause of the most chronic health diseases, namely cancer, Alzheimer's, dementia, heart disease, and obesity. Dr Means asserts our healthcare system, doctors, big pharma, and big food are at the core of our current healthcare crisis, which focuses on profit, not root-cause healing.

Dr. Means discusses how all the diseases we see are the root cause of metabolic dysfunction. Even though we might see different symptoms of chronic inflammation, it all traces back to the health of our mitochondria.
The first section of this episode highlights why 93% of Americans are sick and why subspecialized medicine is destroying our health. Dr. Means outlines three main industries that are at the core of healthcare: big pharma, big food, and medical doctors, and the trifecta of what's causing metabolic disease: oxidative stress, metabolic dysfunction, and inflammation.
The second section of this episode explains metabolic dysfunction (in simple terms) and how we can fix our mitochondria. Dr. Means explains specific science-based protocols, including nutrition, movement, light therapy, and emotional well-being, and how they impact the mitochondria.
This episode is important if you have a metabolic condition in which the healthcare system has failed you. You will learn the simple science of how to improve your mitochondria through science-based nutrition and lifestyle tools for optimal health and longevity.
