Physician and author (born 1987)
Casey Means (born September 24, 1987) is an American functional medicine/holistic medicine physician, entrepreneur and author. Her work emphasizes the role of nutrition in supporting metabolic function to prevent chronic disease.
Early life and education.
Casey and her older brother Calley were raised in Washington, D.C.. Her father, Grady Means, previously served as an assistant to Vice President Nelson Rockefeller. Means graduated with a bachelors degree from Stanford University before earning a Doctor of Medicine degree from Stanford Medical School.
Career.
Means withdrew from her medical residency at age 30. She has attributed this decision to the lack of training she received about nutrition and the underlying causes of chronic disease. Means dedicated her practice to functional medicine, a marketing term associated with medical practices that are not science-based.
In 2019, she co-founded the digital health company Levels Health, which produces a continuous glucose monitor. Casey and Calley Means co-authored the 2024 book "Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health".
Means discontinued treating patients, and placed her medical license on inactive status in January 2024.
In October 2024, the "Washington Post" reported that Means had been shortlisted by the Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign to potentially lead the Food and Drug Administration. Both Means siblings had previously been tied to the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 2024 presidential campaign and have promoted Kennedy's Make America Healthy Again platform.
The release of "Good Energy" led to a spot on The Tucker Carlson Show, as well as podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience, The Rubin Report, and The Doctor’s Farmacy with Mark Hyman. Casey and her brother Calley also participated in a live-stream from Washington, D.C. hosted by Senator Ron Johnson and entitled “American Health and Nutrition: A Second Opinion.”
