Why I'd hand it to you

Casey Means, a physician, and her brother Calley argue that much of today's chronic illness traces back to poor metabolic health, meaning how our cells make and use energy. They look at food, sleep, light, movement, stress and toxins, and they encourage readers to take charge by tracking their own markers, ordering lab work and using tools like glucose monitors. It fits families who want to be active partners in their own care. Be ready for a long list of recommended habits; trying to adopt them all at once can be overwhelming. Their critique of the medical system is pointed too, which some readers will find one-sided.
