hey everyone I’m Megan Kelly welcome to the Megan Kelly show it may be Friday the 13th but it is in fact your lucky day because we have one of the most fascinating guests in America I’m so excited to talk to Dr Casey means now this book has been out for a couple of months but I confess I had not heard about it until my pal Tucker Carlson had Casey means on his show and then I listened almost with baited breath to the interview I could not believe some of the things I was hearing some I had heard before but they were expanded on in very easy to digest ways and by the way speaking of tuer Carlson I was with him last night in Kansas City Missouri and we had just a chat on this sort of open tour he’s doing with a bunch of folks across several cities and it was super fun I think he’ll be dropping that as a podcast today if memory serves but I’ll just want to say before we get started what a great way for two like ex cable newsers right xtv newsers to get back together on our own terms as independent broadcasters and be able to talk about anything totally liberating it’s just more validation that I’m in the right lane and I think you guys know that and to those of you who actually spent money and got in cars and got in planes and got yourselves to Kansas City last night to listen thank you so much I just that takes a lot of effort and I was very touched by the big turn out and it was wonderful to meet some of the people who listen and watch listen to and watch this show every day in person and uh hug you and to to hold each other depending on the level of emotionality and and it did vary and shake hands and hear what motivates you in your own life what you care about so thank you thanks to all of you whether you were there or not I appreciate you listening to the show okay so I love you so much that I’m going to extend your life today I literally feel like Casey means has has extended my life this book good energy you can see it’s got all my highlights on it it’s pretty isn’t it it’s got a nice cover good energy and I also listen to the audio book because you know that’s how I consume most of my books these days and that other interview with Tucker that I just mentioned and now today we’re going to expand on some of the things I learned which I will help short form so we can move things along and get to some very practical advice that’s my hope that you can walk away today saying maybe I can’t do all 20 things right but maybe I can do five and these small changes can make all the difference in your life and five is a start you know in a year maybe you will have done 10 and in two years maybe you will have done 20 but let’s get it started because Casey means along with her brother cie have been sounding the alarm for us all about America’s Health crisis they’re really kind of responsible for the make America healthy again Movement spearheaded by RFK J C has been advising RFK J and Casey Is His Brilliant surgeon sister who is author of this New York Times bestseller good energy the surprising connection between metabolism and Limitless health and she joins me for the full show today don’t miss a moment subscribe to this show on YouTube and

speed who haven’t heard the interview that I refer to or haven’t read the book because you know good energy they may be like what is that like Vibes CU they’re sick of Vibes at this point in this election cycle it’s not Vibes so when we’re talking about good energy we are talking about the very foundational way that our bodies work we’re talking about metabolic Health a word that fortunately we’re hearing more about these days but we’re talking about how our cells power themselves which might be something that people have never thought about before and yet metabolic dysfunction is the root cause of nearly every chronic disease torturing American lives today from childhood all the way into our L elderly years so it’s a term we’ve got to get familiar with and the reason I wrote this book is because I had trained the conventional Healthcare System I’d done what every good medical student does rise the ranks of that academic ladder went to Stanford medical school did five years of headand neck uh surgery training and at the end of that training before launching out uh into being a you know private practice or academic attending physician I I looked around me at what was happening in American Health more broadly and realized that even though you know I’m working hard in my Lane as an ear nose and throat surgeon more broadly American Health is just getting destroyed it’s getting destroyed chronic illness is exploding across the lifespan and that’s not something that I really learned about in medical school I didn’t learn about you know why are these diseases going up what are the factors that have changed recently in human history that are making us have this explosion of chronic disease and that’s a journey that I needed to go on um before really launching out and when I did that what I found was that when you look at the science through the lens of root causes not just the symptoms we’re treating not just the drugs that we need you know to prescribe to all the different ailments that we have when we look at root causes what we find is that nearly every chronic disease torturing American lives today is rooted in metabolic dysfunction and that is an issue with how our bodies literally power themselves so that’s what I’m talking about with good energy when our cells make good energy I.E have good metabolic health so many of the conditions that are plaguing us um can improve and so that needs to be the central focus of our American Healthcare System and right now is the intentional blind spot of the American Health Care system and so that’s what this book is is all about and so it covers a lot it covers the the biggest thing is food and what we’re you know and that seems to be the biggest driver of cellular Health but it covers some exercise too and it covers environmental toxins and things that we may be putting on our bodies and so on so it’s got the full penopoly of things that will affect your cells and how you can improve that’s why I say if people you know feel overwhelmed they can pick and choose and just get started but I think the food being such a huge influencer is empowering because if you’re not yet an exerciser just start start thinking about the food if you don’t want to think about your shampoo and your makeup and your carpet and all then just start with the thing that you’re most actively involved in because everybody’s putting food in their mouth every day and these critical changes can genuinely extend lifespan and improve health along the way that’s exactly right the unique thing about this moment in time that we’re living right now is that our world has radically changed just exponential rate of change over the past 100 or so years with industrialization and urbanization and technological advancement but from a celles perspective we have you know 40 trillion cells in our body the world is very different than what it’s been expect expecting through all of human history and so what’s really happening with our health being destroyed right now in our country is that there is a severe mismatch between what our cells need to thrive and work properly and what our environment looks like right now and that’s across lots of different domains it’s across of course food which I believe is really that that number one domain that we’ve got to um you know get back to the basics because that that’s really the that’s the two to three pounds of molecular information that we put in our mouth every day to tell ourselves basically what to be built from and how to function but we’re also talking about sleep habits we’re talking about the fact that we are sleeping 20% less than we were a hundred years ago our emotional health the fact that we have low-grade chronic stress all the time now from these devices in our hands 24 hours a day that you know are streaming fear inducing sensationalist you know news stories from all around the world straight to our eyeballs when we’re at the dinner table and when we’re in our beds we’re talking about the sedentary Behavior the fact that Americans are literally sitting 80% of the day we’re the only bipedal upright mammals and yet we choose to lock ourselves in a chair for 80% of the day just squandering the miraculous gift of being able to move we’re talking about the environmental toxins we’re talking about the 880,000 plus synthetic toxins that have entered our food water air and homes over the past 100 Years by industry virtually unregulated many of which are destroying our cellular Health we’re talking about our relationship with light the fact that we for ever since the candescent light bulb was invented just a couple hundred years ago and now at the Advent of blue light emitting technology we’re literally blasting our retinas with artificial light all the time and this is totally destroying our circadian biology and our core foundational cellular health so these are some of the things that we’re we’re dealing with as a body as a group of cells that make up our body um that’s looking for information from the environment and not getting the signal needs to function so what the chronic disease epidemic really represents is this just sheer and utter confusion of our bodies uh with the signals that it’s getting from all around us and getting back to food this is the one that I mean each of these pillars that that I’m speaking about has a profound impact on our core cellular health and metabolic Health but food we have to realize we eat somewhere between 40 and 70 metric tons of food in our lifetime and this is not just calories This Is Not Just Energy this is the building blocks the atomic molecular building block of our cells and what people don’t really realize is that our cells are actually constantly turning over throughout our lifetime even though you know I kind of we kind of look the same dayto day you know I’m kind of gonna look pretty similar tomorrow that I do today actually hundreds of billions of cells are dying and being reborn and they are re3d printing themselves out of food isn’t that incredible we don’t we don’t think about the body that way as a process so we’ve got to give the body good information every single day and pay that bill of of healthy good food um every day because we’re constantly constantly changing over our body our gut lining our entire skin cells completely turns over every few weeks so we’ve got to constantly be feeding the body with good information right now 70% of our calories are coming from Ultra processed industrially manufactured Franken food Ultra processed foods devoid of nutrients filled with toxic additives a modern invention created by food scientists in the past 50 years years that now make up the majority of our calories of course we’re sick we are eating 70% of that molecular information that builds our body from essentially garbage that does not have what our cells need to function so that’s why food is so important but the second piece is also that food is what tells our genes and our cell signaling Pathways what to do we think of our genes as our destiny it’s not true our genes are a blueprint and how those genes interact with the environment is what our outcomes are and food is one of those key things that change our genetic expression I’ll give you a simple example that I talk about in the book you look at a a herb like turmeric it has thousands of molecular compounds in it that the Earth and that the soil has made for us to help our genes and our cell signaling function properly and one of those is circumin circumin actually goes into our cells it binds to proteins within the cells and changes the expression decreases the expression of our key inflammatory pathway which is called nfca B so you’re eating this food and you’re actually turning the knob down on an inflammatory pathway that drives disease and we could talk about any natural food in this way filled with thousands of chemical compounds natural from the Earth from God to help us live our highest purpose life and we instead of using that precious gift with real unprocessed food from good soil that’s filled with nutrients we have decided that food is nothing more than calories and it it doesn’t matter if we eat nutrient avoid Ultra processed food from a factory for 70% of their calories well this is a science experiment that has failed Americans are just absolutely getting astronomically ill and food is a key piece of that and you know unfortunately there’s a lot of systems issues that lead to why we have become enamored with ultra processed foods because of so many incentives at the level of the farm bill and at the level of how media is funded that essentially make us believe that Ultra processed foods are fine and normal when in fact uh they are not well we I am old enough to have lived through the the moment in time when the messaging changed from um what’s bad for you is uh sugary foods and fatty foods are fine too fat is the problem sugar is the solution they took all the fat out of the foods to make them taste better they put all the sugar in and then we got hooked on this we got hooked on these sugary Foods I mean I it wasn’t that long ago I guess 20 years ago that I actually thought a a healthy snack would be one of those packs of snack well cooked keys my God the shame the shame but but I’m not alone this I know and but you’re one of the illuminating points of the book is that I thought that and many others think this way because we’ve been led to believe we’ve been defrauded by virtually every person in charge of every industry that touches the food that arrives in our kitchen yeah yeah this is the unfortunate part that I I think people really do need to understand because people do actually listen to the science you know we do listen to doctors in this country when the USDA food pyramid said eat six to 11 servings of grains and cereals per day we did it we got very sick but we did it when the when fouchy said get the jab the majority of Americans did it you know we we do listen to doctors but unfortunately at the highest level of our medical institutions there are conflicts of interest and corrupt that are actually making the science that we’re getting um not as accurate not as clean as we’d want it to be so you look at some examples ni tax fun taxpayer funded institution that we would ostensibly believe is its sole interest is to keep Americans healthy but 80% of NIH researchers uh are have a conflict of interests with with uh with industry so are getting paid also by processed food industry pharmaceutical industry there was a report that came out that 8,000 NIH funded researchers have a major conflict of interest a conflict of interest with industry so we would assume that would just be clean clean money from the NIH from taxpayers with a singular goal of American Health but in fact it becomes it ends up becoming a PR arm to do scientific research um that’s mostly focused on pharmaceutical interventions and our standard conventional uh model of care which is very reactive and very sick care and not focused on root cause then you go to the us just to jump in on that Casey just to jump in on that so basically you’re saying with the like the FDA or the NIH the people who are looking at our food and what’s okay and what’s not okay suffer from the same conflict as uh the FDA did on in dopesick as as evidenced by that movie where the opioid industry got going because the people who were deciding whether that could be safe and marketed as non addictive or you know whatever the initial uh disclaimers were they’re on the take they either are getting money from these drug companies or in the case of the food industry these these big food manufacturers um or they’re banking on joining those companies immediately after their government stint is over right right I mean you see this all the time with their evolving door between you know FDA commissioner and then pharmaceutical company right after they they finish got got Le FDA straight to fizer it’s just back and forth but it’s it’s across every single industry so nah we’ve got 8,000 major conflicts of interest in researchers FDA we’ve got 75% of the fda’s drug budget coming from Pharma not taxpayers USDA we’ve got 95% of the people who made the USDA food guidelines for America which come out every five years so from 2000 to 20125 had major conflicts of interests with the processed food industry you look at medical schools you’ve got medical schools receiving huge multi-million doll grants from uh from pharmaceutical companies when I was at Stanford Medical School Stanford Medical School received a $3 million Grant from fizer for curriculum reform so we’ve got Niah USDA FDA medical schools all taking money and then you add on the professional organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics or the American Diabetes Association which work to create the guidelines that doctors practice by and that doctors actually if they step out of line of what the clinical practice guidelines are they’re at risk for liability and then these professional organizations are getting a majority of their budget from industry you’ve got the American cat Pediatrics getting money from Abbot and from me Johnson and from vaccine manufacturers these are the organizations that write the guidelines so then it’s no surprise that you look at the recent American Academy Pediatrics guidelines for treatment of childhood obesity and all of a sudden what crops up is that they’re recommending as firstline treatment for childhood obesity uh gp1 Agonist injections weekly injections for kids OIC and and so you you just look at every single layer of our government agencies how doctors are taught and who’s making the guidelines and the money is astronomical what’s going in from industry and that’s of course going to Cloud the way research is done and how we even think about health in the body so I as a medical student and all my peers who go into medical school to with this very Noble intent to help people and to improve Children’s Health improve American Health we go to these Elite institutions with just wanting to work our butts off what happens you you you enter a curriculum where the science is conflicted the science that you’re seeing at its most foundational level has conflict of interest where the school has been funded by pharmaceutical industry you know the medical school is not getting funded by big kale or big exercise they’re being funded by big Pharma and where the guidelines that you have to learn and memorize and practice by also have a conflict of interest so what you get is all these doctors who you know we start you start medical school around age 21 22 you’re young and you know you’re you’re you’re deeply um deeply trusting of this system right but what you see is that the body is 100 separate parts you see that what your path is going to be is to go through four years of medical school and then pick one of a hundred different surgical or medical sub Specialties that you’re going to focus on just one little part of the body you see that really what a disease is is a collection of you know uh symptoms and signs and you don’t really think about disease until it gets to that place and then you just need to you know figure out what the symptoms are label the disease and prescribe a medication or do a surgery you don’t think about proactive Health you don’t think about root cause Health you don’t think about environmental factors because that’s not what being taught and then you go into your practice and you’re getting pressure from everyone around you from the administrative staff the bureaucrats and the billers to basically see as many patients as you possibly can because you are pay paid by volume which further uh insidiously pushes you to to not think about root causes how to really reverse or prevent disease because that takes a long time right that takes long conversations with the patient what’s easier what’s faster is to see the patient label their signs and symptoms of the disease and then give them a drug or send them for surgery that’s what’s fast and since we have this system this incentive structure in American Healthcare that’s focused on volume how many patients can I see poor week the outcomes is not really the thing that we’re focused on so you’re taking these incredible great bright young minds and putting them to a system that at every level has conflicts that’s pushing us to see the body as a collection of separate parts that’s inevitable to get disease and that your job as a doctor is to label that disease and give it a pillar of surgery and that that unfortunately is where we’re at and why doctors um even with the best intentions are not focused on root causes there’s no incentive to do so and there’s little education I think about it sometimes with respect to the very very wealthy people I know I’m talking billionaire wealthy I don’t know that many of them but I know some and they all live into their 90s now how do they do that it’s because they have an individual Doctor Who’s on staff or constantly available to them I mean take the most extreme case Queen Elizabeth right how did she live in you know to 93 her entire life she was probably eating clean she had people around her monitoring things like her blood glucose just to make sure she was where she needed to be on all these things full-time attention and care I think about my old boss at Fox News Rupert Murdoch same thing he’s like in his mid 90s he’s had Falls and things like that but onward he trudges and then I’ve known younger people who are with the bee in the on the money front and they’ve got they travel for business and I I’ll seen them on a business trip and they’ll have their own food that they’ve brought with them and I’ve asked more than one of these guys like why are you bringing your own food we’re at this beautiful event like I’m I’m sure they’re going to feed us no because they know if they put themselves in the care of just some random Chef in some random place they’re not going to get the right beef one guy I knew multi multi-billionaire one of the richest Americans we have has his own cows that are butchered on his own ranch and that’s the beef he travels it’s just like there is a level of eating and wellness that the average person has no idea about but it’s you don’t actually have to be a billionaire to get it you just have to have the information truly in this book good energy by Dr Casey means and listen to the life changes you can bring on for yourself you know Megan it’s it’s it’s true I I I also I see this as well in a community of people who are who have awoken to this idea that the reasons we’re sick in America the reasons that life expectancy right now is going down in America and a child born today is on track to live 600 days less than someone who is age 40 right now like this is astronomical we spend almost 2x more than any other high income country in the world on health care we also spend 23% of the largest GDP in the world on quote unquote health care and we’re not even able to keep life expectancy stable it’s going down in our country if if that doesn’t kind of rip you out of your Slumber I don’t know what will and and and so it’s not for a lack of medication right we’re we’re prescribing medications just more and more the more statins we prescribe the more heart disease we’re getting the more OIC we’re prescribing the more obesity rates are going up the more ssris we’re prescribing the more people have depression you know the the it’s it’s not correlating with the amount of drugs so there’s something else going on that’s Insidious that’s environmental and like you say people who are aware of what’s going on are doing essentially everything they can to protect their bodies from the normal inputs that you are going to be exposed to if you’re just living in America day today all of these in visible threats so annoyed listening to this because I know you guys are tight with RFK J and I know Cali this is an interesting uh piece of your story Callie’s your brother and I’ve been following him for years on Twitter and watching him and listening to his expertise as well but I know he’s connected with RFK J and helped him come up with Maha and and that you know you guys have been doing some input there but here’s what’s so infuriating RFK J has been raising some of these issues for a long time he’s an environmental lawyer he’s an environmental lawyer at heart that’s how he actually made his living and Casey no sooner did he pop up and say like I don’t know about these vaccines forget covid vaccine long before that like I we’re pumping these babies through a lot with a lot of shots at a very early age and they don’t really need this stuff and so and then his warnings went well beyond vaccines he came on this show a couple years ago and said you know why where do all the ticks come from why is autism shooting up like all these things and nobody would platform him at all they decided he was part of the so-called disinformation dozen that was the Biden White House he was totally silenced on raising the alarm on a lot of these same issues because there really are and you sound like a conspiracy theorist when you’re like the powerful forces are silencing him no they actually were because they really do have Financial skin in keeping him and probably you and cie quiet yeah yeah I I mean it really this all comes back to money unfortunately and when you realize that around 60% of mainstream media’s advertising funding is coming from the pharmaceutical industry I mean you can’t watch five minutes of commercials on TV without seeing a medication commercial and you realize that the funny thing is that these companies that are paying that much to to have the ad spots on mainstream media they’re not actually really trying to advertise to you the consumer they’re trying to get a direct line of communication to the media companies so that they can have an impact on the message that goes out that makes our news that’s a key point is that it’s not about getting you to talk to your doctor about OIC it’s about having a direct line of communication to the to the media Network so they can have more control over what is said and who is platformed and this is why the emergence of Independent Media is one of the most disruptive and exactly what you’re doing right it’s the most disruptive and powerful force right now uh in the world because what you see is that uh when you look at Independent Media that are getting hundreds of millions of downloads per month what are they talking about root cause Health the dietary and lifestyle factors like getting sunshine and taking supplements and eating real food and regenerative agriculture this is what’s being talked about on Independent Media when we’re not in a Chokehold from the advertisers to talk about a specific dogmatic narrative about that Pharmaceuticals are the only way to be healthy and so I think that’s very very heartening um and you know I think we’re in a really interesting moment right now where postco which was was just the the probably the worst public policy disaster in in human history um where covid was really fundamentally a metabolic disease people we we we died at much higher rates than other countries that had better metabolic Health this virus went after people who were imuno compromised because of metabolic disease this is why people with comorbidities were dying of covid and people who were otherwise healthy really weren’t and children were dying at much lower rates and people saw that despite knowing that from month two month three of the pandemic that this was a virus that went after people who were compromised from lifestyle related and food related diseases metabolic disease that zero airtime and zero information coming from our federal agencies in charge for health had anything to do with improving our metabolic health I think it created a crack where people realize that there’s a bigger problem here so just to get back to what you were saying about RFK you know I think there’s a moment right now where there’s been some distrust that has been bred in the agen and the healthare system also costs are going up for everything with inflation and right now our healthare costs our premiums in the United States are astronomical the number one cause of bankruptcy of the United States is medical costs so people are feeling it in a new different and poignant way and I think we’re also seeing this inflection point with how health even got worse after covid do the lockdowns and other factors kids are really suffering we’ve got 34% of kids with a behavioral mental emotional disorder we’ve got one in 36 kids in the United states with autism one in 22 in California we’ve got ADHD skyrocketing we’ve got young adult cancer skyrocketing we’ve got pre-diabetes and teens reaching 30% we’ve got 52% of uh children overweight or obese so there’s a Confluence of factors I think that are happening that are making this the moment where this is finally making it to the mainstream which is which is really really um exciting but this is why the concept of freedom of speech and what elon’s talking about and what RFK is talking about and the this idea of all the gaslighting that’s happening around misinformation from the social media companies ex excluded and and mainstream media this is why that issue is actually so important and why that issue needs to be thought about in lock step with the health care crisis because when if we start silencing the people who are able to use the disruption of Independent Media to get these messages out that’s when we’re screwed people say are you hopeful and I say I am hopeful because this is able to be talked about in our beautiful country where we can have discourse but if that gets threatened then I think uh it it becomes a much scarier place to me it’s not totally dissimilar from just to bring it to the current news cycle what’s happened in the past few days after the debate it was placed in the hands of the mainstream media we had fake news fact checks on statements that were absolutely true by Donald Trump k Harris was allowed to get away with lie after lie with no fact checks no interruptions no follow-ups and the internet melted down after watching it because we knew in our guts it was wrong it was unfair we knew and so we’ve had three days now of fact Checkers all over the Internet citizen journalists you know independent journalists firing off tweet after tweet on X you know showing the video of KLA Harris’s positions which she denied showing the FBI stats on crime are false that were cited by David Mir things like that and so this independent voice this Collective of the voices to make one strong counterbalance voice is correcting the record and changing the national conversation and the national knowledge and maybe even the national vote and the same thing is now happening in healthcare Which is far more important this is about whether we live or die this is about whether our children live or die and for how long and how well yeah and you you really are at the pointy head of the spear on this issue and thank God now your message is getting out and I know Tucker talked you about this and you mentioned at the top but like your credentials could not be any more Stellar the Casey I our audience already knows this but I mean to say she’s not fringy is just an insult even say that anybody might consider that about you you were at the top of every single medical thing you ever touched until you grew really disillusions with the system and walked away voluntarily Stanford top of your class top resident on your way at you were a fifth year of residency They begged you not to leave you didn’t want to go you had done everything right everything right and then you realized you’ve been sold a bag of goods yeah well thank you and I think you know it it doesn’t take a rocket science scientist to see what’s going on here it really doesn’t and I I appreciate that but I mean it’s it’s really just about looking at the completely unemotional facts and stepping back for one second to ask why I think that’s what Americans are doing right now and you know just to list just to list a little bit about what I’m talking about here you know because I I you know we obviously talked about this on Tucker but I I think it’s worth just zeroing in on what I mean by American Health getting destroyed because then it becomes more like why isn’t every doctor stopping and truly like pausing their practice to get together to figure this out we’ve got 744 we have 74% of American adults with overweight or obesity 74% three qus of Americans have overweight or obesity we’ve got 40% of children with obesity or ovate we’ve got 52% of American adults with pre-diabetes or type diabetes this should be close to zero it’s 52% with an overt metabolic disorder 30% of teens now have pre-diabetes you know 50 years ago a pediatrician might have gone their entire career without seeing a single case of of pre-diabetes in a teen now it’s 30% we’ve got again one in 22 kids in California with autism this is astronomically higher than it was 20 30 years ago when it was 1 in 150 and then 1 in 1500 farther back we have again 34% of young adults with a mental health or emotional health issue young adult cancers are up 79% we are on track to have two million new cases of cancer in the United States this year highest rate highest absolute number ever recorded in human history autoimmune diseases are skyrocketing especially in women of middle age by some reports Going Up 3 to 12% per year infertility is going up 1% per year sperm counts are going down 1% per year at a sustained rate since the 1970s 77% of American uh young adults are not fit to serve in the military because of these chronic health issues we’ve got 18% of teens with fatty liver disease again pediatricians would have never seen this 50 years ago and as I mentioned life ex presy is actually going down in the wealthiest country in the world so ignore credentials ignore Stanford ignore all of it look at those facts all of which are referenced on my website for all the people who who you know want to know our health is getting destroyed and at the best institutions in America the hospitals the medical schools we’re not talking about why we’re talking about how to medicate these conditions we’re talking about how to operate more on these conditions we’re talking about how to increase access to the Health Care system that is not improving these we’ve got to be talking about this the fact that this was not a topic on the debate stage is an abomination of our media why is this not the first order thing being talked about that we are that children have close to 50% of children in America have a chronic disease what is going on we should be outraged we are spending more on this problem in a way that is not fixing the problem than almost any other line item in the American budget taxpayers are paying for it and it’s not being talked about so everyone really needs to realize that this is this is not a fringe issue it is not something that you know it’s just an act AC that we’re ignoring we are actively ignoring this at every level of our government agencies and media and the the that that needs to stop immediately okay so the first thing we’re going to take up I’ll take a quick break but we’re going to talk about three of the the demons sugar Ultra processed foods and foods that you think are healthy but which are covered in pesticides you you get your big leafy lettuce salad and you Dive Right In without worrying about whether it’s organic or not and you may be doing far more harm than good we’re going to pick it up with a specific food discussion and then we’ll move on to some of the other toxins that are around us and ways to clean our bodies and our lives right after this Casey stays with us for the full show again the book is good energy by

break that’s a very short form summary of what you’re recommending on the health front but put in your own words in terms of the massive overhauls to eating that are required at the highest level we need to move away from Ultra processed foods and start eating real foods unprocessed foods that are grown in good soil ideally local and not covered in the toxic invisible pesticides that are literally covering 99% of the foods we’re eating uh in the United States so it’s a move away from this factorymade food back to natural food that’s number one I mean when we get more specific in there we want to be eating foods that actually support our cellular and our metabolic health so that allow our cells to have the molecules they need to function properly because right now all the chronic diseases that I talked about they are all rooted in the exact same thing which is dysfunctional cellular biology largely rooted in this this issue of metabolic dysfunction that can be very much improved by giving cells the nutrients they need from food to function properly um so in the book I talk about really five things that we should try to look for in in food um and and include in almost every meal and I call them the five elements of good energy eating and this is making sure that in most of our meals we have a fiber source we have an omega-3 Source we have a probiotic Source uh a really healthy protein source and some source of really good antioxidants and micronutrients so what what this does is it boils there’s a lot of components of food that we want to get but if you are focusing on getting those five things in most meals and knowing a few Foods in each of those categories that you like and stocking your kitchen with them you can put together a meal that is going to have a really good chance of supporting your cob biology so for me what I do is I just have my mental checklist of foods that are rich and fiber that I can keep in my house so this would be like Black beans and chickpeas and legumes and hemp seeds um if I’m thinking about Omega-3s I’m G to always have some wild caught salmon in my fridge some maybe some canned sardines um you know canned mackerel things like that for a healthy protein I’ve got a freezer full of game meats and grass-fed meats that I can just defrost and easily make a meal with and then for probiotics I’ve got my sauerkraut and my kimchi and my beet cavass and my Greek yogurt and things like that so if you just have a mental checklist of few things from each category that um you enjoy eating for health becomes as simple as kind of piecing together a meal that has these components so so that’s just sort of really high level when when we think about grocery store shopping um you know I’m not going to say that every packaged food in the grocery store is a problem because everything exists on a Continuum processing you know one of my favorite foods is like flax crackers flackers something like that and that’s just literally organic flax seeds apple cider vinegar and spices it comes in a bag it was made in a factory but it’s really a simple whole organic food in that bag compare that to something like a Twinkie or a poptart where there is a list of 40 ingredients things that you know you’ve never heard of before I mean you see on these packaged feuds things like polysorbate 80 and maltodextrin and red 40 we don’t know where those things come from we can’t visualize them those are things that we should avoid so just really being clear about you know what is going into my body and I think at the highest level this just comes down to backing up and building a new relationship with food and really not just really understanding it for what it actually is which is this miraculous substance that comes from the ground by the ground interacting with sunlight um through plants and through photosynthesis and that we get to take into our body to really determine our Health our physical health our longevity um our mood our thoughts I mean food is making really everything and so we should both be I think in awe of what food can do for us we should really respect that it is um just this incredible process that happens on Earth as really a gift for us to be able to use to to reach our highest purpose and we should invest a lot more time and money in our lives and in our families in prioritizing the highest quality food we can because high quality food will lead to a high quality life and Americans spend a fraction of a percentage of their total income on food as compared to European families who are much healthier than us and so it’s just I think a lot of it a mindset set shift towards remembering what food is and that there’s an alchol reaction between ourselves and food that really determines our health outcomes and having more respect for the whole process and having more respect for our bodies you know realizing that our bodies are truly Miracles each of Our Lives is a miracle and one of the ways that we can honor this incredible experience of being able to have this life and be here in this on this beautiful planet um for you know no discernable reason like it’s just such a such a gift and a joy that we get to be here one of the ways we can honor that Miracle um and this opportunity of life is to eat you know unpoisoned unprocessed fresh food from Farmers that we know and so I just tell people like if there’s an opportunity to get your family out to the farmers market once a week talk to Farmers look people in the eye who are growing the food because that food is going to become your body it’s going to become your thoughts it’s going to become are that food is going to become your body oh my gosh that’s so well put that that brings at home keep going yeah no yeah I mean I think it’s just it’s we need to just wake up from the Slumber um that has been indoctrinated to us that um that that you know these these foods that are so devoid of life you know you think about there’s some really interesting actually studies on this where if you take food straight out of your garden or food that was picked by a farmer that day and so it’s Farm Fresh um and you eat it it’s filled with things like vitamin C and antioxidants and polyphenols and all these things that are going to support our health but the average piece of food travels 1500 miles now from the soil to our plate and every day that food is out of the soil it is one more day that it has been dead and as something is more dead so more disconnected from the Life Source which is the soil and the water and the sunlight that kept it alive there’s going to be a degradation of nutrients so food it’s like your Christmas tree think about what what happens to your Christmas tree over the 10 days of standing there dying so we are eating not only in the grocery store food that’s in the grocery store may have been out of the soil for two three four weeks um it’s traveled in a refrigerated van you know or truck hundreds if not thousands of miles or flown from Chile or Mexico to your plate just dying losing nutrients how do we expect to be vital and to have longevity if the food we are eating is more dead than it has ever been in history then you take that fresh food and you put it in a factory and you process it and you strip it of all of its helpful nutrients and then you put chemical preservatives in it to make it essentially be shelf stable what do we think that’s going to do to our bio ology when we are eating something that is so devoid of life so these types of reframes I mentioned just because we are so disconnected from nature 150 years ago 97% of Americans grew some of their own food now it’s less than 3% so we are just so disconnected from this miracle and I think part of the Reckoning and The Awakening um to reverse the chronic disease epidemic and also get back on top of I think this darkness that a lot of us feel in culture and society today this just sense of emptiness and darkness that’s kind of taking over I think part of it is going to actually just be getting closer in touch with our food and with the soil and with this uh beautiful miraculous dance that happens between the environment and our bodies every day to create the lives that we want and investing more in that we’re we’ll take a break in two minutes so this I’m going to start a discussion that we won’t possibly finish before the break but this is where organic comes in right because yeah I I I had friends 15 years ago and they actually ghost wrote a book on what on organic foods and their conclusion was the only thing that you really need to make sure is organic when you do your grocery shopping is strawberries other than that it’s not really worth it this is not good information and you’re sounding a very different alarm so is the would you say that if it’s a fruit or a vegetable you know if it comes out of the earth either from a you know the actual Earth or from a tree Etc it has to be organic the or I know we have to go to break but I think my my short answer would be it is absolutely beneficial for it to be organic and we need to be implementing the precautionary principle when we think about organic or non-organic food um which is that even though the the data may be muddied in large part because the industries that make these pesticides like Bay Monsanto have a huge interest in making us confused about whether they’re safe um we know that a lot of these pesticides are linked to cancer autoimmune disease behavioral issues um endocrine disruption and hormone disruption and um so for me thinking about the fact that six billion pounds of synthetic pesticides are sprayed in our food system every year and chronic disease rates are skyrocketing and there is mechanistic evidence of why I certainly feel that it is important to choose foods that that don’t have that um that that those toxic Subs on them yeah and then when you get those Foods home those organic foods do you have some special washing technique for them you know I personally I I just do a quick rinse of my food but that’s because I’m actually now buying food from all Farmers that I know so when I go to the farmers market you know I am getting it from the Apricot Lane Farm Stand I have been into Apricot Lane Farms I know Molly Chester who runs that farm I get my meat from White Oak pastures I know Will Harris who owns White Oak pastures in bluon Georgia I get my meat from Primal pasture easier if you oh wait no so he’s in Georgia because you’re in Oregon aren’t you I’m in California but you can get these things shipped now and hold that thought that’s a good tease I’m going to take my break we’re picking it up right there this is we’re getting down to Brass tax what how exactly should we eat and how do we get the good food the book is called good energy one Texan doctor with zero big PHA ties is sharing a Breakthrough Medical

frustration of mine here in Connecticut and you would think in Connecticut there’ be Farms everywhere there really aren’t it’s very hard to find a farmer’s market or actually glad hand with an actual farmer so you’re limited to the Whole Foods but the Whole Foods is really not that great it’s not exactly whole so you were giving us some options on like for people like me who don’t have you know a farmer down the road yeah so I think when it comes to meat there are some great Frozen options today freezing is actually a great way to preserve nutrients in both fresh produce and also in Meats um if foods are frozen right at the time of harvesting or Slaughter they retain um more nutrients than if they are just left at ambient temperature so you know now there’s a lot of great services that you can order regenerative grass-fed organic meat from around the country and have it shipped to you force of nature is a great brand that you know is in Whole Foods and um like I mentioned you know ordering from a regenerative Farm like white oak pastures um you know and and many others it’s it’s a great option today now that we’re able to to ship um and then I would say for people who are trying to find organic produce if you don’t have anything Fresh near you that’s where I think getting a lot of you know Frozen produce like from Costco or places like that or even Walmart has quite a bit of organic selection today um those are good options Farmers Market is ideal because if you’re speaking to the farmer and you know that food was harvested recently it’s likely going to have the highest nutrient composition because it’s traveled less and so that’s ideal if you can and you know really just making it a family event you know this should be something we do with our families we should get kids talking to Farmers interested in food early and and so you know Googling trying to find a farmers market near you and then walking around and just speaking to the people growing your food and learn how it’s done I mean this is this is to get back in touch with yeah um fortunately I live in Southern California so we have some great produce year but yeah yeah so um well there’s a few options I mean certainly again frozen food um you know buying some of the dry Staples in in bulk like something like beans and Leons and and you know nuts and seeds and those things um are less perishable um there’s and and then I think you know Frozen companies there’s like Daily Harvest which can get you organic frozen food direct to your home um and then I would also say there’s actually some really unique options you can do like growing your own food indoors I have a product called a lettuce grow in my house which is a vertical indoor farming system yeah and we’re growing food all the time in our kitchen on how how how much room does this take I want tell me everything I did once interview El musk’s brother who is doing this kind of he’s big into indoor farming so I know a little bit but keep going to explain this yeah you know I mean compared to like regenerative agriculture in the soil it’s it’s it’s different you know because you’re you’re not growing it in like the ground you’re growing in a vertical farming towel so Tower so mine has 36 slots and you stick a little sprout in each slot and over the course of one to two months you get a gigantic head of lettuce a gigantic head of um cauliflower broccoli Tomatoes herbs and so you can actually grow these indoor year round so when I lived in Bend Oregon and it was snowy for four or five months a year I was actually growing all sorts of produce in my kitchen and in my office and it basically Cycles water through a tower um and can grow it with very very little energy so unfortunately the price point of these are still a little bit high but you know I think it’s it’s amazing how much it gets you back in touch with the miracle of how food is grown and and it’s kind of like a a gateway growing a little bit of your own food even if it’s herbs is almost like a gateway drug to getting to be more um inspired by sourcing of food 100% I mean I know that even from my own lame little Garden at the beach where we just did the typical cucumbers and tomatoes but suddenly it was like oh wow our own food it had no pesticides on it it was grown right outside of our home it tasted delicious and we did notice the difference the pesticides you know I you know Dr Mark siss not he’s not a doctor Mark sis he’s behind um Primal kitchen brand which is amazing and I know you must love um he he said on the show he’s very leery now of fruits and vegetables he it just he’s very worried about the the number of pesticides on your average fruit and vegetable and he’s he’s very I don’t know if he’s full paleo on uh you know all the meats and so on but he was leaning that direction more and more what are your thoughts on that because I you do have some interesting conclusions on diet and like the various diets that are out there and so on yeah you know I think that we do need to have a bigger conversation about pesticides in this country because it’s it’s it’s just so unchecked uh when we think about the companies that are making pesticides in the US we are buying a lot of these chemicals straight from China and straight from Germany and two American companies one of the the largest merger uh ever in Germany was the merger of Bayer Monsanto so a pharmaceutical company and agrochemical Company um that are now teaming up and what’s so devastatingly I don’t even want to use that word ironic because it Tri trivializes how serious this is but you know Bayer Monsanto Bayer makes Pharmaceuticals to treat non- hogc lymphoma and glyphosate which is made uh by Monsanto um has strong links and mechanistic links to the development of non- hogis lymphoma so you think about how dark that is that it’s almost like a revolving door between a merger of a company that creates a product that’s virtually unregulated in our country uh that leads to cancer and then has merged with a company that creates the treatment for that cancer so that’s the type of Darkness that we’re seeing in the pest industry and you know chem China that makes a huge amount of pesticides we buy we’re just funneling billions of dollars towards China to basically sell us chemicals that are invisibly poisoning our food and these pesticides if you look at the scientific links to diseases we know that pesticides are linked to ADHD to thyroid disease to sperm dysfunction female infertility male infertility cancer autism liver disease the list goes on on on and on and that they actually poison the part of our cell that does mitochondrial or metabolic activity which is the mitochondria people remember from high school biology the mitochondria is the PowerHouse of the cell it’s the key part of the cell that’s involved in metabolic health and it is damaged by pesticides of which uh 99% of American foods um are grown non-organically so are using these synthetic pesticides which have a link wildly to na Germany who was developing Organo phosphate pesticides as part of their war effort to increase yields to feed German soldiers and so it’s just a very very Dark Link there’s been a lot of corruption in that data the Monsanto papers was this Scandal that came out years ago about Monsanto essentially um you know working to silence the the data and massage the data that said that pesticides are safe um and then you look at how this sort of you know how this is happening on the systemic level well we have a farm bill that’s renewed every 5 years and this is a 500 billion plus dollar bill that um is used to help support Farmers with crop insurance and um subsidies for commodity crop growth but unfortunately what this $500 billion Bill does is it funds the commodity crops that are turned to ultra processed food so corn wheat soy sugar beets things like that which then become the cheapest possible Commodities on the market because taxpayers have funded the subsidies which then gives a cheap basically raw material to all the ultra processed food companies to then turn into these ultra-processed garbage foods that are built on the backbone of commodity crops then they add in toxic colorings and natural flavors and dough conditioners and preservatives to make it taste like food but really it’s built on this Bland taxpayer funded pesticide covered commodity crop through our farm bill so at the policy this is how it gets on our plates and this is why the unhealthy food is cheaper because taxpayers are paying for it to be subsidized to be cheaper and then taxpayers are paying for the environmental externalities from this destructive type of Agriculture and for the health care cost of Americans who are getting sick because of this food so we’re paying we’re paying four times over for the unhealthy food that is making us sick and the the devastating part you know because it’s it’s not necessarily you know the farmers who are responsible for our health it’s it’s the doctors who are there to help help us out our health but this is the part that’s devastating is that there’s a devil’s bargain that exists right now between Ultra processed food who wants to make food as cheap and addictive as possible so we’ll buy more and the healthc care industry that benefits off financially benefits off more patients being sick with chronic illnesses and needing treatment over longer periods of time you would think that doctors would be in the the front of the line to be studying what pesticides and Plastics and microplastics and artificial colorings and preservatives in our food are dueing to our chronic illness but have you ever heard you know some someone in the the fouchy realm getting up and talking about these things on a microphone saying we have to investigate our food supplied no someone like RFK J Who’s then being silenced for talking about these things and T and you know being called a fringe lunatic for bringing these things up and so yes there’s something very dark and backwards around the incentives between these two of the largest Industries in the country that unfortunately and this is an unemotional statement of fact benefit from more Americans being addicted to uh tax subsidizes Ultra processed foods filled with toxic additives and a healthcare industry that benefits from more patients having chronic disease over a longer period of time I that brings me to seed oils which I really want to discuss but before I get there I I want to just say the conclusion that I reach from reading the book on the number of diets the kinds of diets whether it’s keto or paleo or Mediterranean and what I think You’ correct me if I’m wrong about your conclusion so I’ve been reading a lot of you so I may have confused it but um I think you reached basically the same conclusion that Peter AA reached and that he espoused on our show which was he said he’s come to the conclusion that it doesn’t really matter which one of those you choose that you shouldn’t be too rigid but what does matter is the things you’re talking about eating real Whole Foods no sugar no added sugar we’re not talking about the sugar that naturally occurs in like a raspberry but like the added sugar avoiding seed oils trying to at least limit ideally eliminate alcohol th those kinds of things but do you have the same conclusion just on you know eat kind of the general plan you want but but make sure you follow these guidelines yeah we have to realize that the diet Wars are a charade diet controversy is intended to confuse us so that as consumers we’re spinning our wheels and not sure what to eat and grasping for different solutions sold to us by marketers and the food industry we are being distracted from what matters which is that the vast majority of American calories and the foods that are being gavaged down kids throats is PES side covered plastic filled chemical Laden science experiment food from a factory that is destroying our cellular health so step one two three four five is to get off Ultra processed foods before even talking about a dietary philosophy so that’s number one the second piece and you know and you know just look at the world there are so many different traditional types of diets all over the world with different macronutrient compositions and different types of food that people are eating and we we are designed as as humans um to have all these redundant Pathways in our body that can use different types of foods to generate cellular Health but the the common denominator between a carnivore diet that leads someone to improve their metabolic health and a vegan diet that leads someone to improve their metabolic health is real unprocessed clean food so there’s more commonalities than differences so I I just want to be very clear the diet Wars are a distraction from what matters which is eating highquality nutrient filled non-chemically Laden food so we just that that so that that is the key point is that we many Industries benefit off of our Mass confusion about diet and you know there’s another piece of the puzzle here which I think is actually a really beautiful aspect of the world that we’re living in right now and the technological advancements that have happened in science which is that we have access to a lot of testing and you know biomarker lab work things like that that can actually tell us each if our diet is working for us so right now over 50% of Americans when you survey them they’re completely confused about nutrition they don’t know what to eat and they feel Paralyzed by all the choices and the different diet Wars but what people don’t understand is that when we understand the basics of our foundational lab work simple tests that any doctor can order and we take some ownership and start really being the CEO of our health and not just fully Outsourcing our health data to daddy do you know when we start taking some more ownership over that which the healthare system has indoctrinated patients to believe that they are not smart enough to understand their lab work which is incorrect I think every fifth grader in America can understand their basic lab work and the physiology behind it and that’s why I lay it out in my book things like triglyceride levels HDL cholesterol fasting glucose levels what does a blood pressure mean you know these these basic lab work if we track those over time and we understand the basics about them we can see whether the diet we’re eating is generating metabolic health and is generating the conditions in our body that will help us avoid chronic disease so the two key points here are eat unprocessed real food as local as possible you know ideally connect with Farmers if you can and check your biomarkers every two to three times a year the basics you don’t need to do any fancy expensive stuff stuff that’s covered by insurance and track whether it’s working for you right now when we look at basic metabolic lab work 93% American adults are not are not getting a good Mark for the basic five metabolic biomarkers which is glucose Trier HDL cholesterol waste circumference and blood pressure 93.2% of Americans are not optimally um managed on those those biomarkers so each of us needs to know those things for ourself and then as we as we engage in dietary strategies and try different things on check routinely and you can actually be very clear whether it’s working for you or not you don’t have to be confused and you don’t have to Outsource that information completely to your doctor amazing I I saw recently a card my cardiologist I go once a year and we were talking about how to make sure you maintain heart health and he was saying make sure you have a low and saturated fat diet but we did not discuss any of the like we did not discuss any of this none of this was raised by one of the best cardiologists in New York which is obviously a big city and what you are saying is it’s really not about the amount of saturated fat in your diet it it’s about what kind of foods are you taking in net net on a 24 and 7 day a week basis and if you’re eating low and saturated fat but you’re eating high in processed foods and Seed oils and a lot of sugar you’re probably still going to have unfavorable heart results right and and I think that you know we all are biochemically individual so what really matters is the interaction between the saturated fat and your body and then how that’s actually leading to your health outcomes and right now we can understand a lot about our health outcomes with the tools available to us so the biomarker testing you know we have all the wearables that we could wear now like the or rings and there’s even continuous glucose monitors that can track that and then there’s also studies that we can do to actually see inside things like our heart vessels like calcium scores or clearly scans or grotted intimal thickness ultrasounds there’s tests that we can do to truly know what our risk is um and and so I think there’s a there’s a huge emergence really outside the Healthcare System more in the entrepreneurial world to democratize access to this testing so that we don’t have to walk around feeling confused and we can have some more empowerment about understanding you know the the biomarkers that truly tell us about foundational cellular health and how this Confluence of factors in our environment is interacting with our own bodies to generate health or or not and so what does the over ring show you you held up your your finger I’ve seen people Weare this but I I haven’t looked into it the aura ring um it’s it’s using essentially a light spectroscopy technology to to understand some factors that are going on in your body so it tells you about your resting heart rate tells you about your sleep so different stages of sleep um how much REM deep sleep light sleep you’re getting total time of sleep total time in bed which are often very different um it’s telling you about your heart rate variability which is a metric of basically how much time is between each heartbeat and that’s actually an objective measure of how much stress our bodies are under it also tracks my temperature and pairs with an app called the natural cycles app which is the only FDA approved uh form of birth control that’s essentially a digital app and so the temperature I me this is astonishing Megan and I think most women I didn’t learn this until I was in my mid-30s but you can actually track where you are in your hormonal cycle and your monthly cycle by just looking at your basal body temperature which can be done through the ring and so I have just learned so much about my own biology and my own cycle just by wearing an aura ring and then understanding how that relates to my monthly cycle so I can know the exact day I’m ovulating I can it can predict the exact day I’m going to get my period And I just feel so much more in touch with that beautiful cyclical nature of my female body by having a ring that’s telling me that so you know resting heart rate that’s a really important biomarker because the lower our resting heart rate is um sort of the better our cardiac outcomes are be the Le the less stress the heart is under to be um you know pumping blood so that’s that’s something you can see from the ring and I really want to see my resting heart rate be in that like high 40s low 50s you know the the the Mayo Clinic says 60 to 100 is fine but we actually know that as we get up closer to a resting heart rate of 100 beats per minute it it prends much worse Health outcomes than if we’re in that lower range and so it lets you just zoom in on kind of day-to-day what’s happening with these inputs like how much sleep am I getting and how much movement am I getting it also tracks your steps of course and so you can stay accountable to the key metabolic input puts that we know um have an impact on our health outcome so you talk about continuous glucose monitor too which you said I mean the book goes through in detail how this will help you monitor your life and how well you’re doing and the glucose in your body and the insulin and all that but I don’t understand is this something like does it puncture you like how how does it work yeah so it’s a sensor that you wear on the back of your arm and it does have a small little probe that’s 4 mm long it’s like fishing wire it’s very small you can’t feel it and that does puncture the Skin So this little probe is essentially sitting in the fluid around your cells in your arm and it’s constantly sampling your blood sugar levels and send that information to your smartphone so you can see in real time what’s happening to your blood sugar levels and your blood sugar levels matter because as we become metabolically dysfunctional we so have this problem in the body with how the body’s making energy how the mitochondria are converting food to energy in our bodies what’s going to happen and as I mentioned that problem is happening not just the food we’re eating but also because of the lack of sleep and the lack of movement and the environmental toxins that’s all synergistically destroying our cellular Health what’s going to happen when we become metabolically dysfunctional is the cells are actually going to reject glucose sugar from coming into the cells because they can’t do a good job of processing anymore because the cell is essentially metabolically broken so our blood sugar levels are going to rise in the bloodstream because it’s not being able to be taken out of the bloodstream into the cells so because metabolic dysfunction is affecting 93% of Americans today tracking your blood sugar can give you this this basically constant movie of what’s happening with this key metabolic biomarker so when you have breakfast you can look and instantly see how did that breakfast affect your blood sugar and then you might be able to make some tweaks okay well I had oatmeal and my blood sugar went up 100 points which is very very high maybe tomorrow I’ll add a little bit of fiber I’ll add some fat I’ll add some protein I’ll take a walk after breakfast to try and minimize that huge blood sugar rise that I had after that meal so it lets you have this closed loop feedback between what you’re eating how your sleep is what exercises you’re doing and what’s actually happening with your blood sugar this key metabol bi markers I want to tell the audience that there are so many helpful tips in the book again it’s called good energy by Casey means MD like take a 15-minute walk after your meals that actually helps with the insulin and the glucose levels when you’re eating a meal let’s face it people are not going to give up carbs they’re not they’re not going to give up pasta permanently or rice or all that but there’s a way of eating your meal where if you if you have Casey writes like a handful of almonds maybe before you go out have a little a little bit of fat and and maybe when you eat your meal you have that salad first and then you eat your protein first and then you finish up maybe 10 12 15 minutes after that with the starchy thing like your potato or your pasta even that can help you keep the these glucose and these insulin levels managed so you’re not totally unrealistic like we’re just never going to have pasta again you know we’re just you know people realistically won’t live like that but there are these little tips where you can live like a normal person but minimize the damage that you have been doing that’s exactly that’s exactly right and I think everyone’s had the experience where they’ve had a postmeal crash you know where you have a meal and then a little bit later you feel exhausted and you want to take a nap and you know are feeling tired and what’s so interesting with something like a continuous glucose monitor is you can actually see what’s happening in your body when you have that subjective experience of crash and often what’s happening is that we’ve we’ve skyrocketed our blood sugar levels with probably refined sugars refined carbs not a balanced meal and then the body sees that huge blood sugar Spike and wants to lower it because it it doesn’t like that um big blood sugar spikes can lead to problems like inflammation and sugar sticking to things in the body which is not good that’s called glycation so the body releases all this insulin to soak up all that glucose out of the bloodstream into the cells and sometimes it will overshoot and you will crack crash and you’ll see your blood sugar actually going beneath your Baseline pre-meal that is often when people feel tired low energy jittery have more cravings for carbohydrates because the body really wants to get the blood sugar back up to Baseline and so it drives you to want carbohydrates so I think for many people when we’re eating the standard American diet we’re on this blood sugar roller coaster all day long we’re up down and then we have to compensate to get back up so we eat some carbs and then we’re up and down and what’s just amazing when you’re using tools like this um is that you can really see that as you stabilize your blood sugar with simple tweaks like what you were just talking about pairing carbohydrates with protein and fiber taking walks after meals getting better sleep managing your stress better our day actually feels a lot more stable like subjectively like our mood and our mental health and our our sense of ability to focus and our energy and things like that that’s not to say that people need this technology to to reap the benefits of what you can learn from it um there’s lots of princip like the ones we just talked about that anyone can apply to the way they craft a meal with or without a sensor um and and still get that you can see you want the information is right there you don’t have to live you don’t have to move in to Casey’s house you can have some of this information feedback in your own house for you know relatively inexpensive price all right there’s so much I want to get to in the half an hour we have left can you do can you explain quickly seed oils because Dr Kate Shanahan she came on the show uh they are the hateful eight canola soybean corn sunflower safflower grape seed rice brand and cotton seed oils good oils would include avocado coconut what else olive oil coconut and then things like ghee and and T beef Tallow um you know duck fat things like that things that are much more natural and have been less refined things these are fats that our bodies have evolved to eat over millennia the issue with seed oils um which is one of the most controversial topics right now in the world um for whether they’re healthy or not I think you’ve got to back up a little bit and and and realize a couple things one that this is now the predominant source of calories in the American diet is these seed oils that are in everything they are in every processed food they are in salad hard find without marinates you can barely go to Whole Foods and find a food without seed oils anymore was complaining last Last Friday had on Dr Martin McCary and I was saying okay we want to get nuts just healthy nuts for the kids to snack on right so you go good luck finding a nut the only ones you can find is maybe pistachios and macadamia nuts that haven’t been treated with canola oil I like and you know the kids they don’t want the raw nuts they want something that’s been like a little like flavored but I have been able to find macadamia nuts and pistachios that say ingredients nuts and salt that’s it but everything else canola canola canola always always and it’s devastating to see like what’s even happened to Whole Foods you know the the integrity and the standards of what they used to consider healthy have slipped so much where nine of the T things I pick up at a Whole Foods these days have too much sugar seed oils or they’re not organic so um so it’s it’s it’s unfortunate but so these seed oils have burst onto the scene and many of them were actually created in the wake of rockefeller’s work um with oil refining as essentially they needed something to do with some of the byproducts of the oil refining and so in a sense we’re kind of eating like engine lubricant when we eat these seed oils and they are not foods that we had 150 200 years ago they’re brand new and they’re highly concentrated in Rich for omega-6 fats which are pro-inflammatory they get Incorporated rapidly to our cell membranes and have an impact on our how our cells function um they out compete other healthier forms of fat for places in our cell membrane so they’re actually changing really the structural integrity of our body and I think you know we have to take into account the fact that these are generally stored in clear plastic bottles that plastic can you know anything that’s stored in a thin plastic bottle like a vegetable oil or canola oil can have those microplastics leeching into it you know you often see avocado oil or olive oil in a glass bottle but these seed oils are almost always in a plastic bottle clear plastic bottle that light is getting in it’s oxidizing the oils that can make them more damaging um and and they’re they’re just the major majority of fats were eating and they’re devoid of really any nutritional value I think if you really want to lose your lunch you should Google a video of how canola oil is made you know how is all oil avocado we did it because I heard you say that and so we have at least one here is a little look at how they make it the very natural canola oil watch the flakes into a screw press it has a large revolving screw-shaped shaft enclosed within a slotted cage as the shaft turns its threads squeeze the Flakes with high pressure forcing out the oil which then drains out through the slots a 70-minute wash with a solvent this chemical extraction process removes all but a trace of oil so the next step is to cool the oil to 5° Celsius this thickens those waxes so they can be filtered out the waxes don’t go to waste either gross the factory uses themet after washing and filtering the oil they bleach it to lighten the color then use a steam injection heating process to remove the canola odor the oil is now fully refined and ready for botling for the listening audience it looks like they put that through a car engine that’s really what it reminds me of sh putting it through a car want that in my body you know and then on top of that you do have to think about the bigger picture environmental impact because these are again tax paare funded commodity crops that are covered in glyphosate and pesticides which are hormone disruptor and so you’re you’re you’re you’re essentially by buying that oil and using it we’re also promoting a system that’s driving this monoculture that’s destroying the soil in our country and will probably lead to some type of food collapse in the future because of what we’re doing to our soil and so much of that land is being used to grow this stuff that’s just going into seeds it takes like wait this I’m just having my aha moment here on how kids are going into early puberty and the sperm count is going down and girls are having PCOS more than ever even if you have a household that’s feeding them vegetables and fruits unless you’re eliminating seed oils they’re getting the pesticides that you just listed that glucosa fate whatever it is that way they’re coming in through what’s in your pantry and this stuff could be leading to a lot of that no there’s Absolut well there’s three things that we really need to be thinking about when we’re talking about hormone disruption that is rampant right now like you said I mean devastating statistic is that early onset puberty is now becoming like epidemic in our country American girls are starting puberty years earlier than any other continent in the world and it has declined about six years the onset of puberty in the past hundred years and we’re also seeing a huge rise in hormon driven cancers like like breast cancer which is an estrogen-driven cancer on top of that um we’re seeing a sustained decline in sperm count and a sustained decline in total fertility rate and women’s infertility the leading cause of which is polycystic ovarian syndrome is skyrocketing so across the hormonal Spectrum we are being destroyed and devastated I mean I can’t I’m 36 years old I cannot talk I cannot have a conversation with friends in my age group without the the topic of infertility or IVF or egg freezing coming up so we have to back up and say what the hell is going on two of the big factors I think we need to be investigating are both PES Ides and plastic so you know plastic is everywhere plastic is ubiquitous it’s literally in every single thing it’s our sheets are made of polyester our clothes are made of polyester every bottle in our home is made of plastic all our food containers are plastic Plastics are now in our air nanop particul Plastics in our air it’s in our water supply it’s on our food it’s in our homes we’re covered in it and Plastics and pesticides can disrupt estrogen receptor signaling um act as xenoestrogens which essentially create a proestro enic environment in our bodies and other pesticides like as atrazine which is illegal overseas but which we use about 70 million pounds of in our country each year can actually convert testosterone to estrogen and so you know just as a real wakeup call to people we we we talk about does organic matter it’s like these these chemicals that are invisible and are on our food can convert testost testosterone to estrogen so why would we not be be worried about that when all of these hormon related issues are skyrocketing in our culture so one of the easiest things that I think we can do to clean things up is to just you know we got to filter our water we you know we should avoid pesticides on our foods and we should really try and minimize the amount of plastic that’s in our you know in our homes and on our foods and things like that um so what I have I have a question for you from Debbie Murphy who is my um executive producer for news she’s been with me forever and she has a question I think a lot of moms want to know about which is okay you get the you get the you know non-pesticide Laden fruits and veggies into your house and then you send your kid off to school and you put it in the little plastic baggie and your alternative if you don’t want to put in the little plastic baggie to send your kid to school with it is to try to put it in glass which is heavy and the little kid could break it and the school doesn’t love it and so I think a lot of us struggle with that like you may have this good clean food then you shove it in plastic or you shove it in Reynold Wrap it’s like that well that’s aluminum you know same thing with bottle water you you have it in plastic or oh wait what is the aluminum any healthier like what are your thoughts on that yeah I mean yeah we want to avoid the aluminum too because aluminum is is a neurotoxin um that’s you know filling the vaccines that we’re using and that’s in you know we’re drinking these aluminum cans that are also lined with plastic so we’re getting both plastic and aluminum I mean it’s everywhere I think I think it comes back to I mean we don’t want to get discouraged um I think one of the things that always keeps me hopeful is realizing that like all of this is just a few decades old like we have forgotten that but we actually got into this mess just over the course of like half a century so we can absolutely get ourselves out of it but we do need to wake up and realize what’s happening and think about our priorities right like we need to get creative we need all hands on deck we need our we need our brains to be functioning properly so that we can address these issues that are all of this is slipping into culture because of IND interest and we’re we’re kind of allowing it to happen but we have a lot of agency and I think we need to like we really need to like I talked about earlier get back in touch before before Solutions before talking about like well what better than a plastic baggie or or Reynolds Wrap we need to get back to the basics which is more spiritual I think which is the fact that like what do we want from this lifetime what do we even think about this lifetime are we connecting with our spirituality and the fact that we are having this like absolute abolutely miraculous Cosmic experience as Spirits in a body for 70 to 90 years on this planet once in eternity you know like what are our priorities you know and and then if we ground in that whether that’s a spiritual belief or religious belief and really invest in that and just kind of unplug a little bit from this distraction industrial Tech complex that wants us to totally forget about the miraculousness of the experience of life um once we do unplug from that then think about okay what do I want to do in this lifetime what do what is my purpose you know where am I trying to get and I think realizing that the Temple of the body which is impacted by all these things we’re talking about this is our gateway to reaching our highest purpose to connecting with God during this lifetime and I say all that not to take us off topic but because it’s we get really caught up in how difficult all the micro decisions are around our lives and how tough it is with the school and the school lunches and the baggies and the lotions have artificial fragrances in them and the Plastics but I think we got to ground this in like the real core truth which is that you know we’re we’re off course of the culture our priorities are misaligned we’re missing what matters we are totally distracted by Tech and by all of this environmental stuff destroying our biology and making us not think clearly we got to get back on track from that place then we can talk about Solutions which is like yeah I I want to invest my time and in sourcing healthy food and in trying to find Alternatives so that might be a silicon baggie I don’t know it might be you know wrapping your kids sandwich in butcher paper rather than a plastic baggie but um I think you know I’m you know there’s certainly infinite solutions to kind of like piece through each of these filter our water you know this and that but fundamentally I just think it needs to be grounded in a sense of like not overwhelm but actually like I’m committed to um prioritizing this in my life because are decision like I’m going to get a water water filter on at least my kitchen sink and yeah then you do it and then you’re done with that one like some of it is just like I’m going to do some planning to improve my life I want to say a couple of things because I I just want to get these out because I know our time is short and you have to catch a flight okay so there’s we should spend a minute on sugar Sugar’s the devil I just did the thing I I did a Google Search and found out that your my kids are allowed to have 25 gram of sugar a day according to the recommendations so I oh that’s not so bad you could have like one ice cream a day the your your position is it’s zero it’s zero hello we the sugar is terrible for us so I want to go back to that but just a couple other things quickly we do need to be exercising walking is great throughout the day not one exercise not one hour not sit at a desk all day and then do one hour of exercise all day long little movements wall sits manyi little squats even if it’s one minute or 2 minutes an hour that’s actually better for you than just the one hour and eight hours of sitting and actually you um cite somebody in there I think it I can’t remember who it is but in any event um it’s saying in fact if you sit all day and then you just do that one hour of exercise you’re probably undoing the effects of all that of that 1 hour of exercise by all that sitting sitting is the devil sitting is death you you will die die if you sit all day so that’s one thing and the other weird thing I’m just jumping around so I can get these things out while you’re still here see what which one you want to talk about is um the hot and cold therapy is good uh like saunas are good cold plunges are good you don’t have to have necessarily a cold plunge to do it you can just turn on the cold cold shower for two minutes at the end all that stuff is like testing your body and sleep sleep sleep this is in your book and we’ve had other sleep experts on but it matters it matters get at least 7 hours and here’s the weirdest but most interesting thing that jumped out of me in this whole thing do not take your grocery store receipts say I don’t want my receipt okay so take your pick out of all those but those are just quick rules for the audience listening at home yeah those are the keys and you know as you read the book you realize that all of these things are basically doing the same thing when we sleep and we avoid the toxins and we move more throughout the day what we’re doing is we’re giving our body signals to help mitochondria and our cells do their best work so it all funnels through this core foundational uh pathway that lets us have just foundational health and these are of course didn’t learn any of these things in medical school had to learn all of this after medical school um and so yes absolutely um you know I think that it is helpful to talk a little bit about the walking that you were talking about because I think this is very free and practical and actionable for people what the research shows that if if we’re able to move a little bit every hour throughout the day so just get up and walk around the block or walk around our house do a few air squats just move our muscles what that does is it actually keeps our glucose channels our blood sugar channels on our cell membrane all throughout the day so that we’re constantly able to take blood sugar out of the bloodstream and use it if we sit all day and just exercise for one hour during the day we’re actually keeping those glucose channels inside the cell for most of the day and keeping that blood sugar floating around the bloodstream and so it’s a very different phys iology if we’re just you know doing these little micro hits of movement all throughout the day versus sitting all day and then exercising for an hour of course that hour has a huge benefit and it’s great for your mitochondrial health and your aerobic Health but what we want to do is we want to be exercising but also sprinkling little two-minute bursts of motion throughout the day to keep those cells constantly metabolically active um so that’s this is the simple stuff like park farther away from the store when you’re in the in the parking lot so you can walk a little bit farther setting those little alarms on your phone for every 45 minutes or an hour to remind you to get up and move it actually has a Monumental impact on our 24-hour blood sugar levels one of the things you recommend is the treadmill desk which I said to the team I’m like what is this treadmill desk get can you guys get me a videotape of it and three of the members of my staff said we all have them here’s Debbie Murphy this is Canadian Debbie for those of you listening at home you know her well she’s been with me since 2007 at Fox and here she is up in Canada boo Canada on her walk walking on her treadmill under this is Kelly McGuire here we go another Canadian producer all my staff is in Canada I don’t know why um okay this is Natasha she produced this segment Casey there’s your book so she’s not in Canada she’s down in Texas but anyway three of my staff are actually reading and writing and doing real work on the treadmill desks yeah pretty much the only thing I do sitting indoors is podcasts because it’s a much better environment and I’ve got the good background but to my right right now is my treadmill desk I have a bright pink treadmill desk this desk will raise after the podcast and I actually have a standing desk outside I’m pointing to my glass sliding door right now just an old desk that I have a little structure on top of so I can stand and I move my treadmill desk indoors and Outdoors throughout the day and that gets to another point about metabolic Health that I think is sort of under under the radar which is we need to be spending more time outside astronomically more time outside this is big the re on this is insane humans are spending about 94% of their time ins inside a house or inside a car only about 6% of their time Outdoors on this spectacular beautiful planet that we have this privilege to live on and this has so I know I know I mean it’s so my my ask my invitation for people is try to find things that you are doing right now indoor and seated during the day and just find a way to do some of them out outside and ideally some of them outside and standing so this could be instead of catching up with your partner on the couch at the end of the day take a walk around the block together if you are opening your mail that you just got from your mailbox instead of bringing it inside and sitting to look at the mail maybe stand outside at a table and and do it the reason for this is multifactorial the first is that our circadian rhythms are being destroyed in our modern culture where we’re being blasted with blue light from the screens and we’re spending 94% of our time indoors separated from sunlight sunlight is a form of um of of energy um that actually hits our cells in our retina and on our skin and tells our body what time it is it tells our body that it’s daytime and the absent of light energy it tells our body it’s nighttime that’s important because we’re dial animals we do certain biological activity during the day and we do certain biological activity at night and in our modern world where we’re separated from sunlight all day and we’re blasting our retinas with blue light at night our bodies are completely confused about what to do during different times of the day and again the chronic disease epidemic is basically Mass confusion of our cells and circadian biology is a big part of that and the way we can actually fix that is spending more time exposing our retina without sunglasses you don’t want to look straight at the Sun but you want to just be outside with the sunlight even if it’s cloudy that’s fine there’s still photons coming through and you want your skin and your retina to basically see what time of day it is so it knows what genetic and cell signaling Pathways to do and then at night of course once the sun goes down down and different Pathways need to be activated in our body for biology we want to basically separate from all that blasting light so dim lights you know maybe use the blue light blocking glasses turn your devices onto dark mode or put a red lights uh filter on your computer your you want to reduce that blue light blasting your retinas and all of this is to help your body know what time it is so it can do the biological ality it’s supposed to so the second piece aside from circadian biology about going Outdoors it’s so important is that the air is actually cleaner outside than is inside our homes our our home AA is actually usually more polluted than what it would be outside there’s some exceptions to this like if you live right next to a big highway but typically because of all the carpeting and the paint and the Plastics and the dust in our homes it’s actually more polluted and air pollution is a huge cause of why we’re sick so just get outside spend more time breathing fresh air and of course the third piece gets back to the spiritual when we go outside we get away from our myopic tunnel vision that happens when we’re locked inside these cages of our four walls of our you know offices and we see that there’s a bigger picture we see that there is beautiful nature doing its thing out there we see that there’s stars and moon and sun in the sky we see that there are birds flying around and we realize that this is all bigger than us and we need to actually realize that we’re interconnected to everything else on planet Earth and in the universe and have more awe for that and so for multiple and that actually and that that sounds a little bit you know woo woo but in reality there is research that shows that when you spend time around trees and when you spend time Outdoors it significantly lowers our stress hormone levels which have an impact on our metabolic health so circadian biology uh unpolluted less polluted air and lowering our cortisol levels are all reasons that just spending more time Outdoors can transform our health and when we sit inside at our desks on our computers on our phones we get scared we get small we think the world is a terrible place that’s all seeing so that’s why it matters let me ask you a couple quick quick ones okay because we only have a couple minutes left left and I’d love to get these answers um why why shouldn’t we take our grocery store receipt so the the thermal ink on receipts actually is an endoc disrupting chemical um and can actually affect our Hormone Health and so we don’t want to touch our receipts yeah and and that thermal ink we should just not touch so just decline the receipt or ask for an electronic receipt brilliant got it bottle water avoid bottled water from a plastic bottle um these are filled with nanoparticles of microplastic which again can have estrogenic effects and actually we now know that uh Plastics in our you know that are in these bottled waters and in they actually can go into our cells these nanop particles and disturb our mitochondrial function by actually going inside our cells um one thing that I think is astonishing that is not being talked about yet by doctor is the fact that the ubiquity of plastic in our air water food and homes which is an invention that was only created a 100 years ago brand new um it’s changing the way we’re going to have to practice medicine because now coronary plaques like the plaques that block Our arteries that go from our heart to our brain we can do a surgery called a Corin ectomy to take out those plaques and they’re looking at those plaques under a microscope now and 55% of plaques are now filled with microplastics so okay too much of a bummer cuz that I feel so powerless over the Plastics sorry to cut you off but we have got 60 seconds left and I got to get these out if you get a filter on your kitchen sink do you need one on your shower you know probably it would be good I don’t have one yet you know there’s kind of just too many things to do but there are shower filters now and you know I think that that that might be a beneficial thing to do or a whole house filter if you if you are if you can but certainly Dr your water do you get what do you buy you know if you buy one of those reusable I take it you don’t get a PL what what material do you get a bottle of water you know like thermos in I just I I use a stainless steel or a glass water bottle I carry multiple with me all the time so I have enough water usually I’m carrying 2 liters at a time and I have a reverse osmosis filter that gets REM minimalized and that’s under my sink so you know we bring I even will check bags now instead of taking carryon so I can bring three or four liters of water with me on a trip just so I can like have something to start with when I get there but otherwise a glass bottle um would be your best option like spring water okay so we ended it on a very small myopic note and we started on big notes which that’s fine because people do need like practical advice for what to do including yours truly please come back we’ve only scratched the surface there’s so much goodness in here Casey thank you thank you Megan so much for being a warrior on this health issue I so appreciate what you’re doing I am 100% with you and I should tell the audience Nicole Shanahan’s going to be on the show this show soon here’s the book good energy go by it by Casey means get it now God bless you Casey and your brother Cali as well thanks again for being here we’ll be back on Monday with the ejs we’ll see all of you then

Truly Right View: Advocating for Free Speech in the Age of Political Censorship

Introduction: What is Free Speech Today?

In a world where political discourse is dominated by big tech, cable news, and social media influencers, free speech is constantly under threat. From censorship of conservative viewpoints to the silencing of dissent on controversial issues, we are witnessing an alarming trend of restrictions on the most fundamental rights of any citizen in our Constitutional Republic: the right to speak freely.

But what does free speech truly mean in today’s context? Are we protecting it, or are we allowing authoritarian ideologies like socialism, communism, fascism, and dictatorships to erode it?

The Constitutional Perspective: Why Free Speech is Non-Negotiable

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution is crystal clear: “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech.” The Founding Fathers understood the importance of free speech in preserving a free society. Without it, the ability to challenge government, expose corruption, and advocate for truth would be crushed.

Yet today, under the guise of protecting people from “misinformation” and “hate speech,” powerful institutions are curbing our ability to express ideas that do not conform to their narratives.

Do we not see this as a slippery slope toward authoritarianism?

Shouldn’t we, as citizens, be the ones who decide what we can or cannot hear, not a centralized body or corporation?

Social Media and Cable News: Platforms or Gatekeepers?

Social media was once hailed as the bastion of free speech. It allowed ordinary individuals to share their thoughts, advocate for causes, and hold the powerful accountable. However, over the years, major platforms like Twitter (now X), Facebook, and YouTube have become gatekeepers rather than facilitators of free expression.

Algorithms favor certain ideologies, while alternative viewpoints—especially those with a more conservative or constitutional slant—are shadow-banned, demonetized, or outright censored.

Does this not resemble the tactics of monarchies, communistic or fascist regimes that control what their citizens can see and hear?

Shouldn’t a true democracy allow the free flow of ideas, even if those ideas challenge the status quo?

Social Media Influencers: Fighters for Freedom or Puppets of Censorship?

Many social media influencers, especially those aligned with constitutional values, have become modern-day warriors for free speech. Yet, they face intense backlash, censorship, and de-platforming for voicing opinions that challenge globalist or left-leaning narratives.

How many times have we seen influential voices banned simply for questioning government policies, election results, or health mandates?

Isn’t it concerning that only a select group of elites can decide what is “acceptable” discourse?

While some influencers fall in line with these restrictive policies, others have emerged as champions for free speech, using their platforms to resist censorship and uphold constitutional rights. The question is: Will we support these voices, or will we allow them to be drowned out by corporate and governmental censorship?

The Dangers of Socialism, Communism, and Fascism: A Threat to Free Speech

At the heart of socialism, communism, and fascism lies a common tactic—control over speech. These ideologies have historically sought to suppress dissent, limit expression, and create a monolithic narrative that favors those in power.

Look no further than authoritarian regimes past and present, where dissenters are imprisoned, media is state-controlled, and free speech is criminalized. Can we really ignore the striking similarities between these oppressive ideologies and the current state of political discourse in America?

Is the suppression of speech today not a precursor to more draconian measures tomorrow?

Should we not fight to preserve the right to freely express political, social, and economic ideas?
