Book

In January 2021, my mom abruptly died of pancreatic cancer.

Her oncologists told her the cancer was “unlucky,” but this was not true. Cancer, and nearly every chronic condition that plagues and shortens our lives, is a preventable illness highly tied to metabolic health. In the decades leading up to my mom’s cancer diagnosis, she was informed her rising cholesterol, waistline, fasting glucose, and blood pressure levels were conditions that she could “manage” for life with a pill. They should have been seen as warning signs.

Shortly after our mom’s death, my sister and I decided to write a book with information we wish my mom had earlier – including:

• An understanding of metabolic health as the unifying theory that can prevent nearly all modern chronic diseases.
• Clarity on the simple set of metabolic habits they can implement to feel
  better today and prevent future disease.
• Motivation to adopt life-long dietary and lifestyle shifts that address the root cause of health.
• Empowerment to understand their own health and biomarkers, and experience a profound shift in their relationship with the exploitative incentives of the healthcare system.

The book uses Casey’s story and expertise to make these points, and I am honored to have helped her write it.

We worked with an incredible team to produce the book. Our agent, Richard Pine, has helped create agenda-setting books by Mark Hyman, Adam Grant, Tim Urban, Angela Duckworth, and Sal Kan. Our publisher, Penguin Avery, has spearheaded books by authors such as James Clear (Atomic Habits), the Dali Lama, and Brené Brown.

We need to move from a health paradigm where we see each disease in a silo to a metabolic view where we understand almost every disease is connected. The majority of Americans are experiencing brewing metabolic dysfunction and I hope this book helps improve lives in the short-term and reduces unnecessary deaths (like my mom’s) in the long-term.

More About the Book

What if depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s dementia, cancer and many other health conditions that torture and shorten our lives actually have the same root cause?

The truth is, they do. And our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions – and feel incredible NOW – is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function: the way we make energy in our cells and bodies. The ability to make GOOD ENERGY in our bodies is the most important and least understood factor in our overall health, and the biggest blindspot in healthcare.
