- Today, we interview Stanford-trained physician Dr. Casey Means about her upcoming book "Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health." Dr. Means' mission is to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tech-enabled tools. She believes the underlying cause of chronic disease is metabolic dysfunction, and the cure to this dysfunction is available to every individual through smart and sustainable lifestyle choices. She shares her mother's tragic story as well as what the health care system gets wrong about our health. We also cover the dark truth about the money behind health care and where doctors' incentives could actually lie.

Being a pharmacist… and owning my own Pharmacy… I am 100% aligned with this episode. There is no intention to get people well… It’s to give them an early diagnosis and treat symptoms. I 100% back up everything that was presented to be true. The system is broken. Insurance does not encourage cooking classes, nutrition classes, all the proactive things. However, it will cover prescription medication for an eternity.
@kellyhulst thank you for sharing! I’m a nurse. And this is what I see at the hospital too
Exactly. This was made clear to me when I learned insurance in my state doesn’t cover naturopathy.
I quit the nice mail carrying job in the 1970s, when I found out I was putting child porn in people's mailboxes, and other horrible stuff. I guess you can help your customers. One day a lady pharmacist saw me choosing low dose aspirin, (after my triple bypass)...she came over and advised I not take aspirin at all, but lower my stress to help my vascular health instead. I felt she was a godsend. I take no stating or any meds, but benadryl in rare allergy attacks when on the road. At home I take olive oil and it works same as benadryl. God bless you for sharing. ❤
Nutrition, #1 to get you healthy. The food is killing us.
You HAVE to eat better, not should, HAVE to eat your way to a healthy life.
Insurance should NOT cover cooking classes… It should create transparency in medical pricing and cover big things, not every little thing under the sun - that is not insurance and it massively increases premiums and costs.
My mom was diagnosed with cancer last year, took a chemo pill for 2 months, almost bed bound said she didn't want to live like that and stopped the pill. 9 months later she is feeling much better, last cat scan 2 weeks ago cancer is gone!!
Praise God 🙏🏻
Yes praise!!
Thank you Lord for this healing!
So many are healing with food changes!!!
So many people are getting cancer due to the jab as well. It is so scary😢
@@mariawesthoff7313 This isn't true at all.
Totally agree. I workout 5 days a week, try not to eat out, cook my own meals, get my sleep in and try to stay stress free. I’m 57 and not on any meds. I’m blessed
Yes, now obey Acts 2:38 so all will be well with your soul in Eternity
Same here 59, work out 5 days, 98% eat at home, sleep early, avoiding stress and visited dr. 3x last 10 years just to order bloodworks for my own reading
Pine needle tea everyday will prevent 80% of allll...and zeolite removes all the bad heavy metals which will naturally boost your immune..then do some homework on mushrooms..about 3000 species too many benefits to list...I just gave you another 40 yrs easy🔑
You're taking away Pharma's blessing. How selfish. They rely upon profit to be sustainable and you are complicating that process. Grow up. That's how capitalism works. You must be a communist.
You're not blessed, you're smart and making the right choices.
This is not biblical, it's simple cause and effect.
After 35 years of employment, with all of my performance evaluations rated outstanding, I was being fired for my refusal to take a flu shot. It caused so much depression I decided to do whatever I could to improve my health. Dropping sugar and ultra processed foods along with exercise took 52 pounds and 7 daily medications away from me. All of my blood work has improved and everything this doctor said was exactly what happened in my case. I'm now healthier at 62 than when I was in my 30's. Who would have thought COVID saved my life but it did. Luckily after multiple religious exemption protests over time I road it out until they dropped the mandate and I got to keep my job. Great video Allie!
Good on you for staying strong! ❤
Good for you and congrats on getting your job back.
Thank u - great testimony - I need to do the same!
Big Pharma has taken over. Their commercials are constant on the tube. Our family Docs are so unaware of root causes and nutrition.
I feel the same way!!! I am a retired R.N. and declined taking the 💉 for 3 very valid health related issues. #1 I had a severe allergic reaction to the H1N1 💉, # 2 I am a cancer survivor, and # 3 is that I lost most of the vision in my left eye in 2017 after developing a blood clot that occluded the blood flow to my optic nerve which none of these issues qualified me for a medical exemption despite the fact that nobody could find me any research done on people with the same health issues I had that experienced no negative outcomes post receiving the 💉. And the reason for that was there was no resesrch!!!When the blast email came through that I would be required to roll up my sleeve by the end of 9/2021 or be terminated from my job I called my husband and told him I was going to retire which was two years earlier than planned and he said go for it. Driving home from my last day of work I felt such a freedom and great sense of peace I never experienced before to finally be free from working in such a corrupt healthcare system that I worked in for 44 years and remained in it for so long because I loved providing nursing care to the sick.
We don't have "Health Care" in the US, we have "Keep them sick care"
TRUTH!
Same here in the UK
Same everywhere. Except it costs other people nothing to go to get the bad advice. Or less. But its the actual whole industry going the same way as america ...
I'd say in most countries not only America... It's a global issue I'm afraid it's more an industry issue... big pharma-medicine ..... rotten to the core
I live in Canada, it's no different here.
It is all about profit! My first week as an intern, I was in my first staff meeting and the first thing out of the hospital director's mouth was that we needed more people in the beds and I was like 😮😮 I was immediately sickened by what she said a knew I could never be a part of the hospital system. I finished my time and was determined to help people outside the walls of the system.
So what's the issue? That's capitalism. Let the market decide. You're sounding like a communist who wants to regulate industry's ability to monetize your demise. Grow up and stop playing the victim.
There is no profit in cure
@@FeelGoodNetwork But wait........profit keeps capitalists warm at night. Are you anti-capitalist???
@@presterjohn1697 When it comes to our health... YES.
@@FeelGoodNetwork Sounds like you want the government to "regulate" business. Whatever happened to "let the market decide?" Can't we just let industry police themselves? They know what's best, right? They're the job creators after all.
Physicians should be paid only if their patients have been healed completely. Now let's see how rich would they be... This doc is amazing. Great interview!
Then doctors would discharge us as "healed" when we are not.
Don't go to a Doctor then, free up the space for someone else
I so agree, only get paid for good results not for how many meds used to cover symptoms, which cause unpleasant side effects. If I took my car to the garage for a repair and they don’t repair it, they don’t have a right to be paid.
This is the principle that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) works on. Maybe not in America now, but that was the original way it worked.
Not sure if the Dr is amazing,she seems smart and the smart thing at this point is to get ahead of the reality of what's being said.
My mom was in the hospital for a late stage leukemia crisis and in hospice and the attending physician wanted to do a exploratory spinal tap. He put all kinds of pressure on us children but my Mom called him in and told him no. My mom passed away at home less than a month later. The system totally takes advantage of the frail and in pain elderly. It is an outrageously shameful system. So grateful that a medical doctor is willing to take the risk to tell the truth.
You MUST WATCH DR. JOSEF WITT-DOERRING. MANY VIDEOS. KEEP WATCHING HIM.
Look up "Witt-Doerring Psychiatry." You will be glad you did. My whole life and Body was Destroyed by Psychiatric Drugs(Ant-Anxiety medications). Entirely Destroyed. Permanent Severe Harm, that is shocking to see.
So grateful!
I’m half way through this - am 100% behind the message , have kept myself and my husband extremely healthy for decades but in our early 60s our only son died from brain cancer and since then - despite our amazingly healthy diet and other lifestyle factors - our health had fallen apart. Please do not underestimate the role that stress, trauma and other maladies of the spirit play in keeping us metabolically healthy
I am so sorry for your loss. Yes, I have had a lot of terrible stress and I believe it’s plays havoc on the body.
I am sorry.
As has already been said, my condolences for the shock and sorrow you are still enduring. It was hard enough to sit with my mom, then my dad as they passed away, I can't imagine the pain of losing a child.my mother had a son who died in one week after his birth. When it happened I was too young to understand. It is my hope that after her passing she reconnected with her lost child .I know she mourned for him always.
@jacquietarr7280 My heart goes out to you both. I have a friend who lost her only child who had Cystic fibrosis and passed away in her thirties. She has never been the same health wise and many other ways. Fast forward 6 years and her husband passed away. She now has no living relatives. I don’t know how she has any sanity with all the stress she has in her life. She may loose her home because she has difficulty paying for it and her other bills. She has no charge cards and has not thrown money away. They had tremendous health bills because of their daughters health and her husband wouldn’t try to get her on disability. Anyway I didn’t mean to get all into that. I hope you and your husband’s health turns around and that you are surrounded by loving helpful family and friends you can reach out to when needed. I said a prayer for you and your husband. May God grant you peace that goes beyond our understanding. Love ❤️ to you from one fellow man to another.
I agree with you statements
I am so close to this topic, as so many of us are. My husband was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease 3 months after we got married at 21 years old. He was on deaths door in so much pain. Spent a year at the hospital in Chicago that claims to be the top hospital in the nation for crohns and colitis. He was put in thousands of dollars of medications (of which we couldn’t pay for of course!) and never once asked about his diet or lifestyle. After finding that medication wasn’t helping him at all, we started doing our own research and found that he was reacting to high levels of fungus in his body! Almost 20 years later and he has been medicine free since a year of his diagnosis in 2006!
Praise the Lord!
I'm glad you started to research for your self.
Interesting. How did he get rid off the fungus in his body? Thanks
I
@@lindilla I too want to know
He did and anti fungal diet. So he avoided fungus but also proactively used probiotics like yogurt to keep his fungus levels low! It’s been a crazy journey!
Try carnivore diet, it's good for gut issues.
One thing I've discovered is that my parents' generation truly trusted doctors. They don't question as much. They felt uneducated so they felt like they couldn't question
truly evident after the plandemic, the cancelling of any healthcare people questioning the jabs, and the vilification of good therapies like Ivermectin, the pushing of toxic drugs like Remdesivir
Most people treat them like gods. Has nothing to do with education.. Is a cultural thing. They're seen as pure saviors. It may be a natural byproduct of us being highly vulnerable when they find something wrong with us. We immediately just believe whatever they say to us.
Maybe your parents didn't question, mine did. But decades ago, doctors did try to help people rather than pushing big pharma drugs. Today's doctors all get kick backs for pushing certain drugs more than ever in the past. My doctor wanted to put me on Statins, I said no. I do a lot of reading on health and nutrition and drugs. I told him I'd take care of it myself. I told him I wanted to know the cause, not take the camouflage. Now he's doing tests instead of prescriptions.
No my parents. My mother is 93 and has only seen a doctor maybe 3 times in her life.
Most STILL trust doctors.
7 years ago, my mom was FINALLY diagnosed with NETS (intestinal cancer)... I asked her oncologist (he specialized in blood cancer) what foods should(n't) be eating and he shrugged his shoulders and said "well, no one really wants to change their diet" 😐
That told me everything
Wow! I hear this kind of stuff all the time. It still shocks me!
😮
Doctors aren’t trained in nutrition
I heard the same thing when our 15 month old boy was terribly ill with a month long stomach illness. We’re pretty health conscious and vegetarian, they were telling us to feed the child anything and everything when all the tests were coming back negative and there were no answers. He almost died. The IV saved him from dying of dehydration.
It's true, sad but true. Doctors probably do tell you to stop smoking & exercise & also to eat better, but most patients want the quick fix
Barbara O'Neil is so good at teaching quality holistic health care
Yes!
Barbara O'Neil is amazing!
Agree
I agree
But, wasn’t Barbara O’Neil banned from Australia ????? Was it because of “ holistic medicine “ or because of a “ religious cult “ she was leading ? Or both ? Thank you !
A patient saved is a customer lost.
yep. No money in death or health
Since I am my own doctor, advocating for me is easy. My doc listens very carefully to everything that I say. He also does the research necessary to confirm any and all ideas that I may come up with intended to improve my health. He is such a great guy; he has never charged me a penny, and he is available 24/7/365. He has also been very successful, defeating diabetes2, reducing my inflammation, and keeping me young and healthy at age 78. I strongly recommend that you change your "my doctor" to yourself like I have.
Wow!
Most doctors are not like yours!
Wow. He must have a huge feeling for your welfare! No payment? If you paid him millions, that is a miracle.
That's because U are In the GANG!
@@Richard-rk7tg Please explain.
He is his own doctor. He doesn’t have a doctor outside of himself.
In 1972 a man called Dr. John Yudkin wrote a book called "Pure white and deadly". The book was the first of its kind, where Dr. yudkin drew the correlation between sugar consumption and heart disease, diabetes, cancer. You would think the world would be grateful for such a heads up............not so. The food companies came after him and determined to ruin him. Not just the food industry, but also the medical profession. The food companies and the medical profession were in kahoots. They cancelled him and it was years before his work was given the due he deserved. The moral of the story is, the food companies are only interested in profit and in order to remain in profit they need people buying their products continually. So the foods are made as addictive as possible, usually by loading them with sugar. These foods are literally destroying peoples bodies from the inside out.
There is no profit in cure
Best post on the internet
Pharmaceutical & the sugar companies. Along with MD's. Have a lot to answer for especially the so called leaders who sponsored COVID gain of function both USA & GB
I have the 2012 reprint in front of me with a foreword by Dr. Robert Lustig a child obesity expert. He says now they're seeing babies BORN with fatty liver disease. The deeper I research western societies the more it looks like we are the host for some insidious parasitic entity. There's a type of fungus in the Amazon that targets a type of leaf cutting ant. As it infests the ants' nervous system it takes over all motor function and forces the ant to climb as high as possible and freeze in a death grip while the fruiting body sprouts out of it's head to spread it's spores across the jungle canvas. Don't know if there's a metaphor in there somewhere but when the worker ants find an infected colonist they take it far away and kill each other!
THE SOLUTION IS GO ON THE CARNIVORE DIET!!! NO SUGAR, NO CARBS!!! SEE DR. ANTHONY CHAFFEE AND DR. KEN BERRY ON HERE! THIS DIET IS INCREDIBLY HEALING!!
When my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 rectal cancer, the doctor immediately started telling her what she "needed" to do without once asking her what she wanted. After listening to this doctor tell her what her treatment should be, I stopped her and asked her what the expected outcomes would be with doing the treatment vs doing nothing. She said that my mom would die either way, but with treatment she "might" get 6 more months. My mom's health was already poor, she had lived hard and her health paid the price, so those possible 6 months would be 6 more months of pain, suffering, and a greatly diminshed quality of life. It was so obvious to me that the doctor only cared about the revenue my mom's treatment would generate, not her quality of life. We then went to see rhe radiation specialist, who we already had an appointment set, and he was much more compassionate and upfront about what she should expect. When she again declined treatment he was respectful and kind. She immediately went on hospice care and lived out the rest of days the way she wanted, and mostly free of pain.
Allie Beth's closing remarks remind me of a proverb I read decades ago, "Science will one day discover what faith has always known"
What proverb? Please share
@@sheldbee Sorry, maybe proverb isn't the best word. It's just a saying I read on someone's fridge a very long time ago.
Not scriptural, but a perfect thought.
Best podcast ever! I'm a nurse practitioner that works in gastroenterology and the amount of young people we are seeing with fatty live disease is astounding. I went to a conference recently and they stated that the incidence of inflammatory bowle disorders are on the rise in countries adopting a western diet. What the dr stated about eating ourselves to death is absolutely true. It's all metabolic.
Check out Dr Anthony Chaffee and the carnivore diet. ❤
Yep. I have a tortuous colon and have had to go 42 years, and 6+ so called experts in Gastroenterology and none of them had 2 brain cells to rub together and identify what was right in front of them the entire time. I'll never set foot in or waste another second of my time with those expert gaslighters who LITTERALLY couldn't cut themselves out of a wet paper bag. And this is supposed to be the best we can get smh. I have zero respect for the gi industry mouth breathers
Boo-boo, Dr. Sean O’Mara is the godfather of visceral fat research, mitigation/elimination . He is truly one of the best stewards this planet has ever seen, and he puts it out for FREE. You will not be disappointed.
I'm a nurse practitioner too, recently retired. I could no longer push the agenda of a pill for every ill. I got out and went into holistic medicine based on nutrition and clean living.
@@deflepprocks1 👏🏻
I was chronically ill till age 32....meds, specialists; surgeries. At 32, i took health into my own hands. I am 50 and feel healthier and younger than ever. No meds. No docs. All robust health🎉 I exercise daily and live on meat, eggs, butter, and veggies. Bloodwork is perfect. Vitamin D3 is 85. Triglycerides are 53! 🎉
Do you consume fruit or honey? I'm 33 I've been trying to heal for 11 years and now i may have been afflicted by mold inhalation. Of course the doctors don't want to address and now it's on me and God. Trying to do egg meat veg predominantly which is very new to me. Need hope to keep going I'm mainly bed ridden.
@@Christandnaturedoctors what you to keep coming back so they can make that money DUH DUH
@@Christandnaturemaybe check out Dr Ken Berry who is a MD but he is carnivore and his wife is Ketovore but he makes videos pretty often and does Live video where you can ask questions also Dr Eric Berg is good.
@@Christandnature don’t do much of either one because of the sugar. I put honey in my tea but once a week I drink a cup. Do your best to cut out sugar and you’ll notice a difference in how you feel.
@@Christandnature mold here too... bad! Have you done EBOO or ozone? Very helpful for that
As a homeschool mom, the reason I love a Classical Christian education is that it emphasizes the importance of INTEGRATION. All subjects are related to eachother and ultimately to God in the centre. Sounds like medical schools need to get back to a Classical approach.
Thank you both for this excellent interview! It was so helpful and timely for me personally.💜
Classical conversations?
Hey Jackie! As a momma of young kiddos I'm super interested in the homeschool programs that you use in your home. I would love to do a classical style like you mentioned. I am finding it so hard to sort through all the options and cirriuculum available now. Any advice would be super helpful! ❤
Thank you!
@@devanbryant3649 not Jackie but my family and I are a part of a homeschool group called classical conversations. You can search it on CZcams and there is a lot of info. I do a reading and math curriculum from The good and the beautiful and CC fills the rest in for us.
@@devanbryant3649 Hi! I am always happy to encourage young moms who are interested in home education. I am just ending my 14th year and never would have made it this far without loads of encouragement and advice from those who went before me. And the Grace of God of course!
We were pretty eclectic in the early years and my advice until you hit around grade 4 or 5 is keep things simple and FUN.
When my son reached age 13 we joined a Classical Conversations Community that was a really good fit for our family. That's when I discovered the classical model of education that I LOVE, because of the integration and how it maximizes the strengths of the ages and stages of kids as they learn. CC is also Christ-centred which is key because I am convinced the purpose of homeschooling is to disciple our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. I also love the program because it provides a community in which we learn together. Even the parents have opportunities to be trained through parent practicums. As with all programs it is not perfect and not for everyone, but I always encourage people to consider CC.
I hope I didn't share too much. I pray the Lord will give you joy and direction as you continue your journey of raising your family. It is truly a joy and a privilege.💜🙏✝
@@devanbryant3649 2 of my favorite curriculum over the years ...Math U See and IEW (Institute for Excellence in Writing) If I were starting now I would also use Generations curriculum. It wasn't around back in the day.
Dr. Casey Means and her brother Calley are a blessing to the field of metabolic health and exposing the evils of Big Food & Big Pharma.
Absolutely. ❤
As a cancer patient I would ask the oncologists questions about nutritional health as well as ways to improve my physical health. The answer, eat whatever you want. I asked about a naturopath 0 enthusiasm or referral. Physical health, walk around the hospital oncology floor I was on to prevent blood clots. I wanted help with how to live healthy after cancer. You're on your own for that. No one wanted to discuss the aftermath! My husband is a pharmacist. I have always said why do we slap a drug on everything without finding the root cause?? I still ask that same question! This segment is very much appreciated! Thank you
Does your husband understand or question why he's doing what he's doing?
you were dealing with fools that could memorize phone books
Well put! The cancer battle is often lost after "treatment" if the "treatment" did actually work. These oncologists only do a part of the job and ignore the most important part which is how not to engender more cancer after treatment. People go back to a McTwinkie diet and the cancer soon returns...........
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto thyroiditis. For about 20 years have been taking Levothyroxine. Last year was feeling very ill, fatigue, lightheaded, went to the doctor and they immediately increased my dosage to 150 mg, which made my symptoms worse. Decided to wean myself off the thyroid medication and it’s week 2 without and I am starting to feel much better. I take Vitamins D3, magnesium and milk thistle tabs as I heard that a non-alcoholic fatty liver could prevent the conversation from t4 to t3! So I reduced my carbohydrates, eating mainly salads, steaks and eggs. Feeling 100% better!!
IF (intermittent fasting) fixed my liver ...and keto is amazing of course :)
I had hypothyroidism. Used Euthyrox 100mcg daily. Started using iodine Lugol's solution 5 drops daily in a glass of water and gradually dropped my meds. My doctor knew what i was doing and approved. She said they don't teach that in medical schools.
Iodine is necessary for thyroid function, all glands in the body and every cell in the body needs it.
It's 3 n a half years now i am off meds, feel fine, basal body temperature always normal. I am 71.
Google it. They are trying to scare you of iodine because they know you get healthy if you get enough of it. Most of world population is deficient in iodine.
@juulclark2651 I'd be interested to hear how you're going with this. I have also been on Levo for around 20 years and would love to get off it. Have recently started keto hoping that will help with lethargy.
I can't believe doctors.
I became my own doctor when I was 17. I had a rapid decline in my physical and mental health and without my amazing grandmother taking me to a doctor appointment when my parents were out of town, I’d have never been diagnosed with celiac disease. I got a diagnosis very quickly and became a nerd about my health. I read everything available at the time, and now still quite often listen to Dr Berg, Dr Hyman, Dr Huberman, etc. I became a personal trainer and health coach in the last few years so I can hopefully help many people take this holistic approach within my scope of knowledge! I don’t see a doctor and I’m only getting stronger and healthier as I go on with my weight training, healthy diet and prioritizing sleep stress and sunshine. It’s not as complicated like she says. It takes time and commitment, but being around for my four sons and husband is really important.
Wow, your story sounds exactly like mine. Rapid deterioration, celiac diagnosis, health nerd, now health coach 😂
Me too except soy was my problem!
Me 2 I give credit to
god he revealed knowledge to me about my
Health and lifestyles and what to eat I’m super into health now and always researching about the benefits of healthy foods . It feels amazing eating a healthy meal ❤
I love the fact that you are helping others! ❤❤
🙏 Amen!
Covid made me realize that the medical world is truly MESSED UP & TOTALLY BACKWARDS!!!! I question everything now and I love this woman and what she points to as the 5 main bio markers to health and can keep us well if we pay attention to them!!!! Thank you Allie for having her on!!!
It always has been,
you mean, the plandemic make you realize, right? Can we please stop using the word "covid" and "vaccine?"
RN here. I 💯agree with this dr.
Another RN here!! I see big pharmaceutical companies pushing there will upon patients!!
RN here as well and agree 💯 with all of this. My eyes started to see these things approximately 15 years ago. When I worked for the largest health insurance company as a case manager, with clients/patients who were the sickest of the sick I became even more aware and needed up leaving the system. I couldn’t in good conscience be a partake of philosophies and practices that do not align with helping people to heal. 💔
Dr. Mark Hyman is excellent. He cares about all patients. otherwise, he wouldn't be on the internet. He has nothing to gain by all he does to disseminate health information. He is very serious about helping people!
@@jenmanginelli381Thank you and God Bless You! 🙂🙏🏽
Love your comment about it not being as complicated as we've been led to believe. My husband is a biology major (who actually enjoyed it and retained his knowledge) and he has, time and time again, been capable of understanding the issue and treating it better and faster than our medical system has. He did not know he had a deadly genetic heart condition but he had had a few odd seizures in his life, complaints of lightheadedness, and self diagnosed low blood sugar issues. He knew that eating to stabilize blood sugar and electrolytes would hero so he really tried to. However, each of those issues was considered in isolation by the medical system and he went 36 years without an answer. After a day of radically NOT careful eating, he went into cardiac arrest (I rescucitated him, which was crazy) and was still diagnosed with - get this- ANXIETY- and prescribed xanax. He had a hunch that xanax could be dangerous given all his symptoms and possible heart issue. He had a hunch that his issue was related to the insulin/glucogon cycle given his terrible day of eating and the episode, which started with a seizure, that happened at night. After demanding an EKG 3 times before getting one, they discovered he had a rare deadly condition that xanax could have worsened. Furthermore, it was triggered by low blood sugar and the episodes often start with seizures. Took 36 years, dying, and demanding an EKG after a stupid anxiety diagnosis to figure that out. Bullshit.
Congrats on staying alive . Diagnosing anxiety after aCardiac Arrest??!!!!😮 I thought they only did stuff like that to women!
I rely on my left-brained science major husband to keep my right brain on track!! I am easily swayed by anecdotal stories that lack scientific backing. But, I've opened his eyes to the dangers of poor food choices. He grudgingly takes the supplements I set out but he was able to hike the Grand Canyon last September at 65 so I'm on the right track!
My oncologist got super cranky (like….ANGRY) when I declined chemo and radiation after he told me “he got it (the tumor) all.” That told me everything I needed to know. 6 years later, I’m alive and well. Why would I do a treatment that does damage to healthy cells? Sheesh.
Also, I was a giant baby (10lbs, 10oz) and my mother was the sick care system’s dream until she died at 67 (heart disease, high BP, diabetes, etc).
I have already decided if I ever have a "tumour" its no drugs for me. I will die if I die.
@@lorettakoch7408 believe me, if I knew then what I know now I probably wouldn’t have had the surgery at all. And I’d still be alive!! Thank God I at least knew not to do the other treatments.
Good for you, I’ve often wondered ‘why put poisons into an immune compromised body?’
Same here! They said chemo and radiation was necessary to kill any remaining cells that had escaped or microscopic portions surgery didn't remove. I researched the chemo drugs and they have lawsuits pending. They are cytotoxic and cause secondary cancers elsewhere in the body. Same for radiation as it can damage lymph nodes causing a bunch of problems, including lymphodema (extreme swelling) and make you prone to infection.
I read that in Pensilvania, one doctor had prescribed chemo to people who did not even have cancer! Some died as a result or have long-lasting health consequences. He got his percentage from drug sale
This is why I'm glad I've been eating meat and eggs only the past two years. All of my issues are healing including crippling arthritis, and I've lost all the weight I needed to lose.
Huh?
It’s a very low carb diet. High carb American diet is potentially causing so much disease. I’m not that strict, but I greatly reduced my carb intake while eating a lot more meat, and I have been shocked by how much better I feel. Fixed my blood sugar, no high blood pressure, dropped weight without being hungry, and had a healthy pregnancy. So grateful.

YES I WAS GOING TO COMMENT THIS. Meat eggs some dairy. Thats my diet. Autoimmune issues 80% resolved in 3 years now. I feel so blessed. This diet is so healing.
Amen
I turn 30 tomorrow. This story sounds familiar because it sounds like me. I have been on most of the meds she mentioned. I have seen a rheumatologist, endocrinologist, neurologist and another one I can't remember. I have been overweight my whole life and this year I am finally realizing that all of these meds and specialists have not helped long term one bit. I joined an amazing gym recently at 300lbs and the food that I am eating now has helped my heal more than anything I have tried before. God knew what he was doing when he made the food that we should eat. It sounds so simple but it took me so long! I love love love this conversation.
Happy birthday 🎉
That’s awesome! I quit smoking a few years ago and put on a lot of weight so fast! I started a no bread no pasta diet and it literally melted off! I’m now gluten free &feeling better than ever! U got this! 💓
Congrats on the changes. I highly recommend starting a fasting schedule in addition to healthy eating and exercise. I used to be nearly 300lbs and had terrible pcos, prediabetes, and high blood pressure.
While nutrition and exercise definitely helped, they just weren’t enough. Fasting on a regular basis was the key that brought down my inflammation, reduced my weight, and cured my insulin resistance. Doctors don’t tell you that because they aren’t educated on fasting because it doesn’t make anyone money. But I felt God leading me to fast and it completely changed my life!
Best of luck with your health journey!
Bravo ! ❤you got this !
It’s shocking to me to see how young you are. If you must go to a doctor, please find a functional medical doctor. I chose decades ago that I wasn’t going to live my older years in and out of doctors offices. I am 67 now, no docs, no drugs, no “next appointment “. The barage of fear-mongering advertisements is mind-numbing. Good for you in taking your good health in your own hands!
To Miranda, the reason why the meds don't work, is because all drugs/vaccines destroy good gut bacteria. It destroys your micro-biome, and when that happens, other diseases such as leaky gut, UTI, T cells, anti bodies struggle to fight infection, main reason Covid puts you in hospital on a ventilator, reducing the good bacteria increases the bad bacteria, that's when cancer, heart disease, fatty liver, diabetes1 & 2 can occur, fatty liver, mood swings/depression etc.. Food for thousands of years was eaten fresh, it's the last 150 years we manufactured it via factories.
As a chronic health person for 34 years, oh the stories I could tell. My therapist said I have medical ptsd. I didn’t know that was a thing but I’ve definitely been traumatized. The abuse, the comfort of the discomfort of women, the inequality of treatment, I have been told so many times I should write a book. It was Dr. Sarah Ballantyne who led me down a path of food for healing, and yes Dr. Terry Wahls whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Life changing impact on me.
I have ptsd from medical health issue
A friend of mine reversed her m.s following the wahls protocol.
The medical gaslighting out there is enough to give anyone anxiety and depression 😢
I guess I am blessed. My medical group asks about excersise at every visit, offers classes on nutrition, physical fitness, mental health etc. I also think we should be our own advocates because we know our bodies. We are responsible for eating right and exercising and getting proper sleep and learning to manage stress.
If anyone wanted the bio markers standard in the healthy range:
5 bio markers vs metabolically healthy
1. Fasting glucose: under 100 milligrams per deciliter
2. Triglycerides level under 150 milligrams per deciliter
3. HgL Cholesterol: above 50 for women and above 40 for men
4. Waist circumference: less than 35 in for women and 40 in for men
5. Blood Pressure: under 120/85
It's really interesting that she mentions bp of 120/85 or below as being the healthy biomarker range. When I was in an advanced nutrition and disease undergrad course, the professor told us that the powers that be would be changing healthy systolic bp from 140 to 120 because the pharmaceutical industry had an Rx that could stabilize bp at 120/85, and for that reason they lowered the threshold. The professor emphasized that, because of this, we as practitioners should not be worried about seeing a systolic number between 121 and 140. This was back in the early 2000s. Just something to keep in mind.
Yes I remember that lowering of the numbers, yet they moved up the normal range of fasting normal blood sugars which were 60 to 80 now it's 70 to 99. That's harming people who could be turned around from diabetes. I also found when caring for older people that low blood pressure and low pulses induced by drugs make them miserable and contribute to debility and frailty. Frailty kills. You'll end up in a home in 20 plus meds. Muscle is the currency of aging.
I'm glad people are finally talking about this in the mainstream. I've been saying this for years, and people thought I was crazy. My own husband wouldn't listen to me for several years.
Try realizing we don't live on a globe. 😅 it's a challenge to be surrounded by people who can't see yet. Good job staying strong!
Yes! And it’s such a blessing to find this conversation with people with whom God has also led down paths of healing! I talk about this subject ( and my recovery) with everyone but very few will actually listen.
How'd you stay married to him? (Genuinely curious.) I've dated dudes who didn't believe this stuff and dropped them like a sack of potatoes because of that... lifestyle is too important to me to ever compromise. I need someone who will work with me and who understands that good health is a lifelong battle, not someone who wants to eat out and drink or buy processed junk food from the grocery store and not educate himself.
@@ninjabreadgirlFirst of all, I don't believe in divorce, so that's not an option. That being said, I *wanted* to convince him because I love him and want him healthy too. He did come around eventually, but it took a while for him to realize he had misplaced his trust in the so-called experts.
This is so spot on... becoming your own Medical professional is a must.. start clean eating, detox baths, exercise correction and Jesus as you house call doctor will give you the direction for healing and health. 77 years, no meds, haven't heen able to find a a doctor to satisfy my health needs in decades.
That’s awesome and Praise the Almighty God!!!
I don’t trust 95% of Medical Drs.
All they push is their drugs, which kill off body organs.!!
I would just like Dr. Means to know that I’m sorry for her loss. It hurts to lose your parents, even if you’re the smartest doctor in the world.
Loved this interview as well as Calley Means on Tucker Carlson. So refreshing to hear a doctor say what I have been trying to express for the last 20 years.
A few days ago, I had to attend the ER for paroxysmal tachycardia. Given that Canada's universal healthcare system is imploding and has been since covid, patients are waiting longer to be seen both in the ER and by specialists. After only bloodwork, some of which were at my request, I figured out that my thyroid hormones which were high were causing both paroxysmal tachycardia as well as short SVT runs. I then called my primary requesting a change in the thyroid meds. I will have to titer to get my levels in the middle range of "normal" so yes, patients know their bodies best and need to educate themselves about how best to optimize their health. Even prior to the internet, I opted for natural solutions to chronic and undiagnosed health challenges. Other than taking thyroxine, I basically take only supplements.
This was a very good episode. Thank you! After a couple of significant misdiagnoses decades ago, my husband and I became our own health advocates. Respectfully, I'm glad people are waking up to this and it takes a doctor(s) saying it for people to truly get on board with the lack of true health "care" in this country. Honestly and respectfully it boggles my mind that the average person doesn't think about treating root causes- and as naturally as possible through diet, lifestyle and means of the like. My primary doc "fired" me years ago ;) after I continuously asked too many questions around root causes and questioned pharmaceuticals. She suggested I needed to find a new health care provider. We did. A good holistic doc/naturopath is our go-to. So many good ones found online too if you do your research.
I’m in desperate need to find someone who actually cares for my health like you did. I’m in Kansas, could you explain better how exactly you managed to find that doctor? Thanks
Getting "fired" probably saved your life! At least gave you back your health! I'm with you...about to be fired by my most recent GP. I question his prescribing pills instead of seeking out the root causes. He doesn't like that. So, I'm very much looking forward to this Tuesday! 😅
Hoping all goes well!@@peggyannwilliams3247
@Luciana Nelson I also want one! We are in a rural area in the Midwest and would have to drive 50-60 miles to a major city I think.
ATTENTION: eat plenty of red meat, eggs, seafood, some dairy if you like, some organic fruits if you must, and otherwise cut out all sugars and plant based and processed foods. You WILL radically transform your health.
I can testify to that! I've had Fibromyalgia for over 30 yrs. Seen numerous specialists after trying every Eastern Alternative Medicine Dr & remedy possible! I have suffered horribly and been completely disabled which had me bedridden...
Until recently, when I began a Keto Diet to lose weight because I can't exercise. Then I went mostly Carnivore as the weight wasn't leaving very quickly, 😮💨 After reading No Grain, No Pain & even though I don't have Celiac Disease, I removed gluten products.
Dropped all refined carbs & processed foods.
Miracle of Miracles! I started having much less pain, & felt energized enough to get up every day! Now I take walks around my yard and feel glorious sunshine on my face again! It's been a total Life changer! I've been given a 2nd chance at a Real Life!
Gluten free was also a huge miracle for me. I'm 52 and my body feels 25! ❤
I'm a vegetarian
@maxp9598 i was a vegetarian for many years until I collapsed on a mountain hike. Found out I was deficient in a few nutrients, anemic from lack of iron from meat etc etc. You probably want to get your blood tested to see what youre diet is missing.
Absolutely the way to go! I've been carnivore for 12 months now 59 yr old female. Feel so much healthier ❤
My 23 year old brother passed in his sleep from complications of Juvenile Diabetes. He was in and out of the hospital with infections, pneumonia, MRSA, DKA. He fought chronic pain from nerve damage and even went blind. He did not have insurance so he was quickly treated for symptoms and discharged. He never received the investigative care he needed to get to the bottom of his uncontrollable blood sugars. In April 2011 my mom drove him 4 hours to Denver in hopes of getting him into a specialist clinic however his PCP denied the referral and he passed two months later in his sleep. His heart failed and the saddest part is it was completely noticeable by his rapid weight gain from fluid retention. His doctor missed this or completely ignored it.
So sorry to hear this! Sincere condolences!
BEST INTEVIEW EVER. This right here is why I finally decided I had had enough and just recently started working with a functional medicine doctor to get to the root of what is actually going on. I am too young to be on so many meds and to spend so much time going to different doctors. I'm so frustrated that this is the reality in America.
What is the name of your doctor? Over a year ago, I sparked up a conversation with a cancer survivor in the grocery market. She said she was given a year to live. That was 25 years ago. She said she no longer makes appts and sees a holistic doctor. She mentioned her mom is 91 and lives with her. I said ahhhhh good for you. I wish I could have got her phone number. Even though she was a complete stranger. I would have had lunch with her or something.
To be fair to the medical industry, managing health rather just than treating symptoms requires that people take ownership of their own health and how their lifestyle choices affect it. We Americans generally prefer to just take a pill to treat the symptom instead of giving up our donuts, putting down our phones and getting off our couches...
100% agree. Most patients want a quick fix. I worked in western med health care and that’s all I saw. People DEMANDING medicine. It’s easier to take a pill than change your lifestyle. The problem goes back to that’s how we’ve been educated. To take something to fix the symptoms. It all goes back to EDUCATION of the patient. Which we have failed at in western med. thankfully there are docs out there educating people to better health!
I’ve worked as a nurse and I can tell you that patients receive tons of education . Most don’t want to follow instructions. Read the research
Very true I work for an insurance company and depending on the plans purchased the members have access to resources and many decline. Example I called to offer referral for dietician he declined. He weighs 270 pounds with multiple health issues. And this is one I could think of off top of my head
I respectfully don’t agree with you. We have been groomed from the get go so how are we to know. We are just now learning the AMA does NOT have our health at the forefront. Big Pharma was invented to make and keep us sick which includes masking symptoms with a pill. . It’s all part of the depopulation agenda. Look it up.
Partially because they have been raised in this culture. Someone who was raised in another country and came to America as an adult would likely operate differently! The cycle needs to be broken!
My father died in so much pain because of the extraordinary measures the drs took to try to “give him a few more weeks”. I finally pulled the drs together to get them to admit that none of what they were doing was helping my dad. It changed how we “helped” my mother in law with her ovarian cancer. She died peacefully and in much less pain surrounded by the ones who love her
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I’m so sorry about your dad. bless you .
Book doesn’t come out for 2 months and yet it’s on order at our public library and has 10 holds on it already!! People are hungry for this kind of change in their health.
I grew up overseas in a third world country and after coming back to the US for college got sick after about 5 years with a celiac disease, a chronic autoimmune condition. Since then I have been eating fairly well, certainly better than the SAD: gluten & dairy free, minimal processed foods, cooking from scratch and rarely eating out, but 10 years later I began having more health issues and have been diagnosed with another autoimmune disease. I’m seeing a functional medicine Dr. and through even more strict dietary changes (no beans, no eggs, cutting out most grains and sugar, eating mostly local organic pasture raised meats) have seen some improvements, but I’m also developing new symptoms that are concerning.
The reality is that most of the food in the US is contaminated with antibiotics and pesticides, because of Big Ag and the way plants are grown and animals are raised in huge feed lots being pumped full of antibiotics and fed unnaturally with GMO grains. You have to spend a lot of money to get organic produce and clean meats raised and fed how God intended. Many cannot afford it. And seeing a functional medicine Dr. is also very expensive and out of reach for most.
I want to read your book so I can better understand the markers of metabolic health and try to get a handle on what is off in my body in particular. I feel like I’m doing all the right things and still not where I should be.
"It's like Whack-A-Mole medicine." - best description yet.
It's Rockefeller medicine. Designed to damage you and provide poison pills that further damage you. It's called capitalism.
This is so right on from my experience. I was told by a doctor about my chronic issues, "You need to get used to being in a lot of pain for a long time." Period. He was telling me they could do nothing for me and I should get used to it instead of seeking treatments. It was crazy to me that he said that, but after continuing to try to get help through specialists, I see that in a way it was a warning of how I really would need to learn to live...modern medicine has no true help for many chronic conditions.
The sad thing is that as I try to figure it out by myself through other avenues, I am shamed by modern medicine doctors. They think we should just trust them only. But if they don't really help, what are we supposed to do? Just sit and suffer until we die?!
So many here are in total agreement with you. Ask God to lead you each step, (ask Him first by His Son Jesus, to be your Savior and Lord if you aren’t yet in His family. He led you here, it’s not by mistake.) There are several leads in the comments. I was helped by slowly following Dr. Susan Blum’s The Immune System Recovery Plan. It takes time to heal our minds and bodies away from the processed junk and to get the kind of micro-biome that craves whole food instead.
This doctor is so easy to listen to. She makes so much sense!
I love this interview, this truth will set you free from the BS in the medical world. Thank you!
She's a communist who wants to impede Pharma's ability to generate profits. Stop complaining and let the market decide.
The health care system isnt blind. They refuse to treat holistic because there is NO money in it!!! Mom was diagnosed with stage four cancer. She had ovarian uteran and cancer in her chest cavity. My mom realized after her surgery to remove some of the grapefruit size tumors inside her that she wanted to forgoe the medical route and go the natural route. The medical doctors laughed at her and told her she will die in three to six months. My mom went all natural in her healing and is cancer free now 14 years. Medical is a illness model. Natural is a wellness model. We will all die of something. However we have the power to treat our bodies with wellness. My sons have vax injury. Autoimmune diseases and we choose to treat them naturally. He medical treatment had extreme side effects. They are doing well. We need to take charge of our healing! Medical is good for trauma. Like car accidents, heart attacks, broken bones. They are not good with chronic illness.
Dr. Casey Means earns that title : Doctor.
I been a service tech ( For medical equipment ) since 1985.
I was Always that guy who asked Why, Why, Why and dug in deep to get the answer.
I enjoyed that because it got me to be the recommended tech when there was an unresolved problem.
I Always had a respect for the Doctors and just thought they were the same thinkers as me.
But, after I started needing more healthcare, I come to find either the new doctors were not being trained right or, they are just in it for the money, keeping me sick.
Dr. Casey Means explains Exactly what I come to see with the medical system that it has come to.
Love hearing you speak out. That adds to your credit and reason I said, You are a Real Doctor.
Thank You. 🙂
Thankfully my wife and I are in the 6.8% category. We are in our late sixties, early seventies, and we choose to manage our own health. No harmful prescription drugs for us.
Thanks for sharing this excellent information!❤
Such a great podcast! I’m a pediatric nurse whose daughter was injured by vaccines (alopecia totalis) - through a root cause approach and studying lots of biochemistry, she is healing. This event has changed my life, my families life and has been a huge wake up call. I don’t feel I can work in healthcare any longer with all that I’ve learned. Can’t wait to buy her book
I'm sorry for your daughter's experience.
I was a paediatric nurse too, years ago.
The more I have learned in the interim the more I have changed my thinking.
If I knew then what I know now, I would never have had my son vaxd as a baby.
Those who are not vaxd are definitely healthier than those who are. ❤
I'm now trying ketovore diet and following the doctors who promote and live carnivore diet.
Our health is so important isn't it. 😊
My husband was injured by a TB Vaccine as an adult and has Alopecia Areata. He has been dealing with it for 8 years or more. We try to keep him eating healthy fats but he goes thru bouts of remission and then times of losing more patches of hair all over.
What have you done to help your daughter heal?
@@jmb-cm7mr iodine, selenium, molybdenum, b complex, iron, zinc, no seed oils, lots of meat, Italian flour for baked goods and pasta, lots of sun. Checking full thyroid panel often making sure TSH is below 1.5, t3 and t4 in upper range. She has relapses that coincide with spring and fall, which I believe is a histamine response to seasonal weather and pollen. We’ve been working at this for a couple years but this time last year, she was totally bald and now she has hair past her shoulders with a couple patches filling in
I only hope you use your profession and experience to spread the word on vaccines. Being a healthcare professional, your word carries far more weight, than any non-clinician.
A tripple vaccine ruined my son too.
He developed high fever for 1 week and after that he developed an eating disorder and developmental disorders. He is 25 years old and has never developed a man's body.
Has adhd, autism and his IQ lowered after that and his brilliant memory declined. His grades where so bad after year after year..., has no energy, is thin and has a teen body.
After i got vaccinated as a child at a certain age, i developed an immune deficient body i guess and constant infections and was never healthy again. It started with forever ear infections, throat infections, lung infections, constant issues, up until now in my 50's.
I think...like an AIDS patient who has a poor immunesystem catching lots of health issues. Brain damage follows...and a plethora if issues.
I see it that way.
My mother got 4 stage lung cancer spreading to her liver. Her MD suggested that she should be treated with combinatiin chemo and radiation. We, as her children, said no. We treat my mom at home with juice made of mainly blended turmeric + lemon + black pepper + black seed + honey. She had a cup of it daily on an empty stomach. Within 4 months she did check to the MD, her MD team stunt seeing the canceric cells shrunk tremendously. She declared a cancer free after 6 months. During the treatment, she controlled her diets -- refraining herself to so many certain foods such as MSG based foods, red meat, etc
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! About how much Turmeric did you put in it?
Congrats!!!!!
What is black seed?
@@repentjesusiscomingsoon1529 I don't know; my sister did it my mom. Basically, she bought a lot and put them together in the blender machine.
@@magdalenadacunto888
Nigella Sativa. Google it. You can get oil too.
If you get the seeds, you can grow your own.
After one of your guest that you had on your show a couple weeks ago about women’s health with our menstrual cycles etc. I’ve been on a huge craze about eating healthier and feeding my family REAL food.
I’ve been listening to Bobby as well and his CZcams channel and have got his app. But I’ve been feeling discouraged because eating REAL food is so expensive. But thank you for having her on your show! This was such an encouragement to me to continue on this journey and not feed into my flesh.
Also, someone had commented that really hit me and said yes organic real good is expensive but so are hospital bills. I think our food is one of the main things that is worth spending money on.
Real food does not need to be more expensive. I feed a family of 5 for an average of $150 a week. 3 main ways I save money are: 1. Buy beef in bulk from a local farm and store it in a chest freezer. 2. Buy produce from a local farm in the firm of a CSA or farm share and try to make that produce be the only thing you need for the week (we do supplement with fruits from the grocery store in winter). 3. Make as much as you can from scratch.
@@maditabender1401 I completely agree. But I was averaging $60 a week for a family of 5, making everything from scratch but now I’m averaging $130 a week.
My point being that it IS more expensive to buy real food. Even if you’re making it from scratch which I’m still doing with the buying in bulk etc BUT it’s a cost that is worth it, not only now but in the future.
My point was to encourage anyone who may feel like giving up on eating real food. Cut prices in anyway you can but an extra $100 a month is worth prioritizing over a leisure activities and a new outfit.
@@maditabender1401 I completely agree. However, real food is more expensive even with cutting cost as much as possible ie making from scratch, finding deals etc.
I use to pay around $60 a week to feed a family of 5 as well. That was with making from scratch too. But now, still making from scratch, I’m paying around $130 a week.
My point was to encourage anyone who was feeling like giving up on eating better. Eating better is going to be more expensive no matter what means you go by it BUT it is also a priority that should come before even our car payment. Our health matters, our lives matter and the lives of our children so we should prioritize spending money on real food and not a new outfit, leisure activities or whatever it may be.
It is not necessary to buy organic.
It doesn't have to be expensive...I order my meat online at an organic butcher... Still cheaper than in the supermarket... And then I only buy fruits that are on "sale", vegetables I buy frozen- much cheaper...I don't eat bread and stuff so all I buy is meat, dairy products, eggs, fruits and vegetables and this is so much cheaper... Like I safe around 50€ a week, just by sticking to basics
She is exactly right when she talks about the system itself. Two years ago, I hurt myself cleaning out my father’s apartment after he died. I pinched my median nerve in my right arm and that sent me on an 18 month merry-go-round of absolute hell with what I call the medical mafia. I was sent to six different doctors. I had five very expensive diagnostic tests only to find out from a hand surgeon that any kind of surgery would not help me & I should start taking gabapentin . So needless to say after running up $10,000 worth of medical bills and stuck with paying 5300 of it out of my own pocket, I don’t really feel I was helped. Got to the point where I had to draw the line and stop my quest because my savings was depleted and the insurance wasn’t willing to compensate for any more exploration. Now I take supplements to support my nervous system and go to chiropractor. The acute phase is over. The pain that I had the first six months was the most uncomfortable discomfort I’ve ever had but the underlying problem is still there. I don’t believe it will kill me, but I do believe I will die with it. I lost my husband to AML leukemia back in 2013. I saw what he went through to extend his life for 18 months. Most of it he spent ill from the treatments that he was given. I’ve already decided that if I’m ever diagnosed with any type of malignancy will not go to the medical establishment for help. I will try to navigate my way through homeopathically, and if it kills me, it kills me. I see the medical system as one that could destroy you instead of healing you. All they did for me was put a pair of concrete boots on me and sink me in debt. That’s all they did for me. It’s one thing to be healthy and then you can trade it off and deal with your medical bills and the debt later, but to not regain any kind of health and then have the stress of being in debt……well…… that just doesn’t work for me. Aside from that injury I’m pretty healthy. I’m extremely grateful for that. My goal is to stay off of all pharmaceuticals. I’m 57 years old and take no pharmaceuticals and I don’t plan to.
So blessed. 85 years old, no medications,aches or pain. Blessed indeed and active. See people in mid 60s with poor health.
Hi, I am a practicing doctor in India. All that's going on in the US is also going on here.

PLEASE...use you conscience and not be part of the problem. Be part of the change!
Wow, this confirms so much about what God has been telling me since I had my first child in 1999 going through all the vaccinations. Then him getting diagnosed with brain cancer in 2011, me getting diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018. I wanted off the medical train but is so scary, my husbands company closed its doors we lost insurance and I was completely fine with it. Nervous at first but the longer I was off things, the more I read the Bible I came to this understanding no medical intervention is going to make me live longer than God intends for me to live.
Amen!!
Lots of these things that are wrong with the medical system is why I had to retire early from a nursing job. It changed almost 180 degrees over the 35 years I worked. It’s very sad to me, and people I try to tell about it don’t understand. Thankfully, I have a cardiologist who has listened. I want to get off my bp meds.
What I have learned about salt is that if you have high blood pressure you're not supposed to have this. Table salt is garbage. Get Celtic Sea salt pink Himalayan salt or Redmond salt. They say that you're limited on salt intake but your body needs salt. And no it should not affect your blood pressure. Hope this helps.
I’m a 76 year old RN who left hospital nursing in 1975 because I could no longer agree with conventional medical care.
I’m not on any prescription medications. My siblings are both on BP medication.
I still work part-time in personal home health care.
I thank God that he helped me to see there’s a better way to care for health issues as I age.
My husband and I just had this conversation this morning about how little that the medical doctors actually know about us as a whole person. We are gleaning from various experts on the Internet and listening to the science that they are describing- what is going on inside of our bodies. These experts are people that have come out of traditional medicine and are sharing truth like your speaker today. We do not have medical licenses, but yet we are piecing together information to help us to become healthier. I’m thankful for the freedom that we have so far but I know that we have to fight for those freedoms. Since lockdowns any thing that goes against the norm is considered mis-information. It is obvious that there is a power behind that control. We need to pray, and stand up against this.
I learned all of this the hard way. She is so spot on! Thank you for increasing awareness and giving a voice to these truths. Praise God for giving wisdom!
LOVE and appreciate that this medical doctor like some other medical doctors are speaking out, but must add that those of us in the naturopathic, functional medicine, chiropractic, acupuncture areas have been speaking about metabolic syndrome and prevention for many years! There are many wonderful medical doctors, but the AMA, and as we call them the other “alphabet groups” have worked diligently to keep medicine in a profit making position and deny any alternative treatments that are cheaper and may help patients. We have been in the natural healthcare industry for 43 years and have found only a few medical professionals who will come alongside us and work for the better of the individual patient. The only one who ever loses in this battle for profit and superior knowledge is the patient! We are Christians and have always prayed that God would rise up healers of every discipline who have true Godly integrity.🙏🏻 Thank you Allie for bringing out such an important topic as you do so often.🙂
Thank God for people like Dr. Casey Means and her brother Calley Means! They speak the truth!!! Im so sorry for the loss of their mother, just heartbreaking, God bless this family ❤
This has been one of my Favorite episodes too! I love how Allie pointed out that Dr. Casey's amazing gifts are from God! As a Holistic Nutritionist I agree 100% that the system is a mess driven by money and NOT set up to heal anyone. I believe in a root-cause approach with lifestyle and real food at the center. We have gotten so far away from real food and our lifestyles are focused on fast pace, quick and temporary solutions and convenience. Thank you for showcasing what so many need to hear.
As a future nurse I have seen the how corrupt our healthcare systems have become. I have been dealing with mold toxicity for over 9 months now, and was turned away by the best hospitals. This has severely impacted my life as a student, but it has opened my eyes to the bigger picture. This video needs to make it to headlines. Every American SHOULD OPEN THEIR EYES TO THE BIGGER PICTURE. This is amazing
I'm glad your eyes were open but are you doing anything to take care of your mold situation? You could try olive leaf extract and or oregano oil plus a probiotic.
@@di4085 testing is important, also asking about the environment.
=nurse of 24 years, mold toxicity from work, gym and home. Made me get sevre covid, and I was not given medical care for the stroke it caused, and then long haul...but maaaaan, really ptsd. Be well, get help for that mold toxicity, sauna, oats test, etc.......and work where you can do it with a good conscience....and so WE can and will change the system. All the best, dear one.
Very powerful and informative information. The beauty in all that she said in this interview is that she was speaking in common sense ideologies. She also backed up what she was stating with medical facts, but she divulged so called "complex health" issues into common sense "food" for us to mentally digest.
Bless her and her brother Calley Means for their bravery of speaking out against these medical, and pharmaceutical entities as it definitely comes at a cost. Don't take this information for granted because "mind freeing" and "conscious awakening" conversations like these are life threatening to the individual spreading this kind of wisdom and knowledge. May God continue to bless them and their families and grant them protection.
I'm trying sooooo hard!!!
Thank you for all this great information.
I've improved all my biomarkers to these levels.
I've had kidney stones and went started more meat based diet and now, experiencing gastrointestinal issues.
I'm very discouraged because the last year and 1/2 has been bouncing from CT scans to MRI's to X Rays....still in major pain ER twice.
No one has urgency in the medical field for me.
Arrogant "specialist" many words spoken but no healing.
I'm begging the Lord to unravel this web of chaos and show me the right way.
Mentally suffering, and terrified of hard drugs.
Please pray for all who suffer with disease.
God bless
There is power in the blood of JESUS CHRIST praise God praying for everyone everyday God bless you all.
I’m so interested to know if Dr. Means is supportive of childhood vaccines? Please make a video regarding this!
Dr. Casey, I’m sorry for your loss. It’s so sad to have to suffer such a loss to learn what is going on with health and how to attain it.
My check up showed high cholesterol five years ago, and I got worried. The doc said: oh, it's normal for your age, we have a med for that... I did not pay attention to him, and started walking every day. Within a month my cholesterol level decreased and I showed the results to the doctor and said: Look at it; I guess my age has just reversed direction... They want us to be sick, those physicians. I know it.
Thank both of you for your honesty & transparency. But most of all: "For Really Caring For Humanity.". If all doctors were like you, we would be in a Better World🌌✨
I’m an EMDR/Trauma Therapist and I completely agree with what this doctor is saying. The same thing is happening with mental health. Therapists and psychiatrists focus on pathologizing people and then using psychotropic medications instead of focusing on root causes of depression, anxiety, mania, psychosis. It’s metabolic too. I work work my clients in their gut and hormones and through somatic practice as the roots of “mental illness” and use EMDR to clear stored trauma from the body to decrease threat responses that flood the system with inflammation and effect every system of the body. There is zero scientific or biological evidence/markers for any mental illness and the DSM5 is just a bunch of guys putting symptoms together. But it’s treated like science and the evidence that psych meds cause the brain damage they are supposed to be “fixing” is ignored.
Are you in the United States
** you such great sponsors! I wish I could use them ( Canadian here )
I’m not very far yet , but I love this lady !
I am surviving stage 4 cancer, and it’s so true how they only slap the bandages on as soon as a symptom pops up ( usually those symptoms are directly from the drugs )
By God’s grace I am 2 years in and PAIN free !
Check out Dr. Thomas Seifred. Cancer as a metabolic disorder paper. It’s been published in peer reviewed medical journals. It might be as far back as 2012.
1. I had a big baby (4.2kg)
2. My bp when in labour was 140/90, (they were also pumping NaCl in my system at the same time I was having the baby) and they immediately put me on Nifedipine.
3. I ballooned over the next 6mo on the Nifedipine, to the heaviest I had ever been. BP continued rising even when on the meds (152/110)
4. They told me they would up my dose, and warned me to be on the lookout for other diseases like sugar diabetes.
5. I weaned myself off of the meds, used IF to lose the excess weight, tracked my BP until it went down to about 118/78mmHg
Love Mark Hyman and Jason Fung! Mindy Pelz is great, too. Great conversation! Looking forward to her book.
Mark hyman is a member of the church of Scientology so be aware
Thank you for having Dr. Means on the show to talk about this topic!
Amen and amen!! I have been passed around for three years with what I now know was vaccine injury and finally turned to a knowledgeable homeopath who immediately focused on mitochondrial support and in 30 days I’m seeing an incredible turn in the right direction.
I’m on stage 4 kidney for 8 years now and yup they are just stringing me along. It’s God that keeps me alive to do want I need to do.
I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I asked the doctor if I should change my diet. He said no. I of course I already knew the answer, just wanted to see what he would say. Fortunately for me, I had found a doctor on CZcams who talks about natural remedies. He shows the studies and tells you what to eat, not to eat depending on your condition. It turns out that people with hyperthyroidism shouldn’t eat flour products which I love. However, I rather give it up for my health than to be taking medication for the rest of my life.
Good for you. Hypothyroidism can be handled through herbs. You don't have to eliminate flour just wheat flour. The ones you can use are rice flour almond flour are more pricier but shouldn't get a reaction. Keep doing your research.
Name of doctor please
You mentioned you have hypo and later hyper. Which is it?
@@grotemuis4889
Hyperthyroidism, it must have been auto correct.

Dr. Landivar
He mostly has Spanish videos but he also has some English videos.
Yes!! One of my top 5 favorite episodes!! As a functional registered dietitian I resonate with her passion so much!!! God designed our bodies as a beautiful interconnected harmonious whole - body mind and spirit! ❤
I agree with Dr. Means. God got a hold of me a few years ago and showed me that what I was eating and NOT eating was making a huge impact on my health. Now we try to eat everything organic and as healthy as we can. Please do pray my husband would take better care of his health. The comfort we can take comfort in is that God is still Sovereign. We are responsible for what we do and our actions but we can pray and beg God to help us and our loved ones make healthy God designed choices !
Excellent! I've seen Dr. Means and her brother recently and it makes sense. I was a science major in college and I've always felt doctors are worthless. Know your body.... eat clean, sleep well and exercise.
My journey has been a long one... I got sick at age 12 and am now 20. It took 7 years and 40+ doctors and specialists to find out that I have Lyme disease that went untreated for a long time. Traditional medicine failed me but natural medicine is the game changer. It's a relief to know what's wrong with me and to have a path forward with treatment. I've seen my fair share of doctors who pushed medicine with terrible side effects, suggested I see a psychiatrist, etc. But there are also some of the kindest, most empathetic doctors out there. But yes, our medical system is twisted.
Reminds of the book written by Allie Hilfiger, Tommy Hilfiger's daughter, who was deathly ill from a childhood tickbite. Her book, BITE ME, is one you will relate to. Glad you are on the path to health!!
So sorry. This is one so many doctors miss and it is devastating.
I'm so glade this episode popped up on my feed😊 I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis...and I went through hell with all the medications my doctor pushed on me. I had horrible seizures with the humara shot but my doctor didn't want to take me off it, and didn't want to believe that was the cause! I started noticing that he had that drug all over his office, so he obviously got kick backs from this medicine. So I made him take me off it, he made me feel stupid for not taking it and advised me to see a nerve doctor for my seizures. I didn't listen, I stopped taking it, and he put me on a lower dose medicine, and I stopped having the seizures😮 then he pushed like 4 more meds on me to take because he didn't feel the one was helping me. But I only take the one, and don't tell him I'm not taking the others😅 I have been researching the root cause for autoimmune disease and its a lot to do with your gut health! And I've never felt better after changing my diet. And my doctor never told me any of this stuff, and he thinks I'm taking all these pills to make me better😂. All of this episode is so true!
I don't listen to this podcast. First time actually. As I listen to enough things in regards to health and science over the years.
Check out borax
I totally agree with all of this and see it in real time on the regular. I have a daughter who has medically complex special needs. She has a home ventilator, feeding tube, home nursing, several implanted devices, a ton of specialists and diagnoses…for people like her (especially in pediatrics) I can see where the specialties come into play and are needed. BUT when it comes to common things that pop up like acid reflux, no one has an answer on what to do besides PPI meds which is just a bandaid. So I basically have to tell everyone what’s going on with her, tell them I don’t want their treatment, and find supplements out of pocket to help her digestion heal. (She’s on a formula for her feeding tube, I used to blend up real food for her but can’t do that right now, it’s complicated). If I didn’t do my own research and be assertive, it would just be bandaid after bandaid of meds for her. Also, when it comes to home nursing don’t get me started lol all I have to do is threaten to leave an agency and they scramble to help because they’ll lose a ton of money (not because they actually have a good heart and want to help). It’s ALL money driven.
Treating symptoms and not what’s causing the problem is one of the greatest travesties of our Medical System
Hit the nail on the head this lady, and she is not the first GP I have listened to on CZcams recently who has made this connection. Great to see more medics are speaking out
Brave
I had heard her brother (Calley) on Paul Saladino and Tucker Carlson, loved hearing from Casey Means, too!
I was very lucky. My 1st problem was my thyroid issues. My BP was very high, this happened after my COVID SHOTS. I felt something was wrong with my thyroid. My, my Endo. Said my blood work was NORMAL for thyroid,, so I went to ER with a complaint of the heart. My blood was fine. BUT the ER dr wanted to do a RED DYE test to check my small veins, what they found was that my Thyroid Gland was growing into my chest cavity, eventually I would choked to death. I had surgery..no cancer….also went ER recently because my Left Shoulder and back was hurting and pain would not go away. No stomach pain. I have heart problems so that was the worry. But my ER DR went the extra mile and did A CAT SCAN. It showed a very seal mass on my pancreas. Had an MRI and it was diagnosed as a very small cyst. I will be monitored. I SO grateful for these ER Drs at UW in Rockford for going the extra miles. I believe we should be tested for pancreas like they do for Breast Cancer to catch these early. So very sorry about your Mom. We need to be our own Advocate, sorry to say.
Hi! Really appreciate doctors like her who are not scared to speak with the truth. I think doctors like her should work with people like us, holistic therapists to help more people and make things affordable for everyone. I've had people that with natural remedies had come off anti-depressant pills, or cut down a lot in taking thyroid pills, or got read of fatty liver and do on by replacing either natural remedies and a balanced diet. I'm in my 40s and I don't take any medication except for liquid iron because I was lied by my GP that everything is fine until I took my blood test and read them myself and I was already to low in iron to be able to take it just from food. I grow up in a farm in Romania and the health lifestyle we had helped a lot in keeping health after the help and blessings from God. And the good thing is that I've tried to help people without changing them, if they have to give something they give if no, then I still do my best to help them, I don't turn people away because they don't afford to pay...all with God's help
When we moved here from Europe 30 years ago, we were very surprised to see that the medicine here is just a business. It’s not intended to treat and heal sick people. It’s there for doctors and pharmacists to make money. I understand that they have to pay back the loan they got for their medical school, but it should not be their priority. People’s health must be. I believe doctors should be paid not for the amount of patients, but for the amount of satisfied people that they healed.
your last statement....sounds great, but most people are lazy and not committed, so it's ot the doctors' fault
Fantastic interview Allie!!! I am an RN that has focused on researching metabolic health for myself and family. Dr. Casey was very informative and well-spoken.
There are doctors like me available to help people to health. The doctors billing insurance are working for the insurance industry. I was told, I was forbidden to help people, my 'job' was to drug them according to insurance! You are paying insurance to steal everything from you! We need people willing to stand up & demand true health care but after 50 years I am pessimistic now & I have always been an optimist! I want people to wake up. We, the doctors who care, are still available. Be healthy🙏
I'm sharing this with EVERYONE!!!! Extremely great conversation!
This is true in mental health as well.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this excellent interview! Consider having her brother, Calley Means, on as well.
