About the Episode

This episode tackles the urgent connection between nutrition and health, exploring the metabolic health crisis gripping America. Dr. Casey Means, co-founder of Levels, explains how our modern lifestyles and diets are making us sick, and how personal data from wearable tech can empower individuals to take charge of their wellbeing. The conversation examines the healthcare system's focus on treating symptoms rather than addressing root causes, and how this approach falls short in combating chronic diseases. In the field, we visit Everytable, an innovative company aiming to transform access to healthy, affordable food. Founder Sam Polk shares his vision of creating a "McDonald's for healthy food" and how Everytable's unique business model brings nutritious meals to both food deserts and affluent areas. This episode pushes viewers to reconsider their relationship with food and health, offering a glimpse of a future where better nutrition leads to improved health outcomes for everyone.
