From the Arctic to the Rift Valley, I’ll be diving deep into the world’s true carnivore tribes—what they eat, how they handle dairy (if at all), and what ancestral wisdom still thrives

Social animals need socials. Stop acting like a Bush Baby. Stop treating friends like they should be koalas.

People protest when solitary animals like sloths are made to be social. Yet with humans, we tell them to “take alone time.”

We are the only social species that sends its wounded off alone to heal.

When someone is physically sick, spiraling, unraveling, grieving—or simply inconveniently human—we call it “growth” to step back.
We say:
“You need to find yourself.”
“Take some space.”
“Focus on you right now.”
As if solitude were some ancient rite of passage.
As if emotional exile were a mark of maturity.

It is not.
It is just abandonment, sanctified by self-help language.

This is not how mammals operate.

Co-regulation is not a preference. It is a physiological necessity.

Human beings stabilize through presence—eye contact, tone, skin, scent, familiarity.

Take that away, and we do not find ourselves.
We dissolve.

📉 Living alone raises suPAR—a biomarker of chronic inflammation and early death.
📉 It flattens cortisol rhythms.
📉 It elevates CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, fibrinogen.
📉 It shifts gene expression toward disease and viral vulnerability.
📉 This happens even without depression. Even if you’re “coping.”

This isn’t psychology.
It’s immunology.

And yet, when people are at their weakest, our culture tells them:

“You have to go through this alone.”

We do not say this to elephants. Or wolves. Or chimpanzees.
Only to humans.
And only in the ultra-modernized zones.

Pain does not require solitude.
It requires safety.
It requires someone who stays in the room.

If you are not that person, do not cloak your absence in enlightenment.

Say nothing wise.

Just say you are leaving.

Because the body hears it either way.

Or don’t go. Give hugs. Give kind eyes. Give time. Give presence. Give soul.

I cleaned house. I’m on Minnect.

🧬 Somewhere between my 32 inboxes, 5 phone numbers, 4 websites, a frenzy of social and professional messaging apps, a random message in Morse code, and a scroll tied to a goat’s horn in the Andes (basically a true story)… I realized something:

✨ My brain has become untethered. ✨

My natural state is hyper-focused, wildly curious, and utterly inspired. But I lose that superpower in the onslaught of infinite written time requests.

I’ve lost questions from dear clients. From second cousins. From my best friend since second grade. From the man who once pulled me out of a river in Tanzania (you absolute legend).

I love your questions. I’m honored by your questions.
I live for your weird rashes, your microbial mysteries, your “is this normal?” texts.

But with 20+ platforms yelling at once, even the important things slip into the same abyss where dreams and forgotten passwords go to die.

So… I’m stepping out of the black hole.
And I’m inviting you to join me.

🎯 I now ONLY answer questions in one place: . No exceptions. No matter who you are.

It’s not a punishment. It’s a portal.
A beautiful, quiet space where I can think, respond, and serve with my full brain intact.

Will I still be on this platform? Absolutely. I’ll be posting.
But if you want a real answer? You know where to go.

Think of it like choosing a candle-lit alchemist’s cove over a drive-thru pharmacy at rush hour in Zombie land.

I’ll see you in the quiet place—with the herbs and ancient books.

Can you all relate?

👇 If all your inboxes were people… what kind of situation would this be?👇

Dr. Casey Means is being critiqued.
But by whom?
By a bloated, broken medical system.

A system that cloaks itself in brilliance—
but whose outcomes tell another story.

Our children are too sick to function.
Our elders are drowning in prescriptions.
And our physicians—even the “top” ones—are burning out.

This Stanford-educated physician is being told she’s “not qualified enough.”
But let’s ask the real question:
How are we measuring qualification?
By letters behind a name?
By magazine covers and board certifications?
Or by outcomes… recovery… remission?

Because wouldn’t it be a sign of intelligence to leave a system that’s failing?
Wouldn’t it take real courage to build something better?

This is not the time to repeat old patterns.
This is not the time to cut and paste another Surgeon General in a white coat.

It’s time to rewrite the script.
With results.
With integrity.
With courage.

Which truth have you swallowed the hardest?

(Ask it in a whisper. Your hormones already know.)

04/08/2025

YOUR BODY ISN’T A CAGE. IT’S A CATHEDRAL.

There is a moment in pain where the body doesn’t break—it blooms.
A secret switch flips.
And instead of collapse,
you enter the cathedral.

I didn’t learn this from textbooks.
I learned it from fire—nerve pain so relentless,
it stripped me down to the wires.
And then…
a single meditation CD.
Aunt. Living room.
Stillness.
Bliss.

Not the fantasy kind.
The cellular, electric, rewired kind.
The kind monks describe after 10,000 hours.
The kind torture survivors whisper about.
The kind that arrives when you stop resisting and start listening.

That shift wasn’t grace alone.
It was Gamma.
The forgotten brainwave.
The pulse of awe, unity, and divine perception.

Gamma fades in:
ADHD. PTSD. Long COVID. Autism. Chronic fatigue. Depression. MS.
And when it fades,
pain becomes unbearable.
Beauty becomes flat.
The nervous system loses its compass.

But here’s what no one told you:

Gamma is trainable.
And not just in temples.

You train it by:
• Feeding microbes that build neurotransmitters (L. plantarum 299v, B. longum BB536, L. rhamnosus GG)
• Dancing until the soul leads
• Laughing until you sob
• Chanting, barefoot walking, candlelight flicker, forest bathing
• Stacking nutrients like B1, B6, choline, magnesium
• And surrendering to AWE

This is not woo. This is waveform.
This is neuroelectric alchemy.

You are not broken.
You are bioelectric.
And your gamma cathedral is waiting.

The full protocol—your Gamma Gold—is on the blog. Link in bio.

Read it. Share it. And remember:
You’re not here to suffer.
You’re here to transmit light.

🌱 Vegan Leather: The Synthetic Trap We’re All Falling Into 🌱

Hey there, my little microbes! 🌍 Ever felt like the greenwashing around “sustainable” fashion is more plastic than the products they’re selling? I n my latest blog, I dove into “vegan leather,” recycled polyester, and all those so-called eco-friendly fabrics that dominate today’s racks. What I found was… disturbing.

From designer brands to budget labels, everyone’s jumping on the “sustainable” bandwagon, slapping “Recycled Plastic” labels on what’s essentially synthetic hormone-leaching clothing. 💀 Did you know these petrochemical-laden fabrics disrupt our skin’s microbiome, mess with hormones, and contribute to infertility?

It’s time to peel back the “eco” facade. Real, natural materials have sustained us for millennia, yet they’re being replaced by short-lived, environmentally toxic synthetic imposters. 👗🌊 Those “vegan leather” sneakers and polyester socks? They’re shedding microplastics, filling landfills, and releasing synthetic estrogens that get absorbed right through our skin.

🧬 Let’s ditch the plastic pretenders and reconnect with nature’s true gifts. Read the full blog to uncover the truth about “sustainable” fashion and why embracing real materials could be the true path to health, longevity, and style that lasts.

My latest blog post is live, and let’s just say it’s a bit… revealing.

Imagine this: you’re crushing your health goals, rocking those workouts, maybe even embracing a little cold plunge now and then. But the real plot twist? Your polyester leggings are the secret villains here. Polyester might feel like a second skin, but it’s the perfect breeding ground for all the wrong bacteria—think acne, hormone disruptors, even a little extra cling around the hips and thighs.

So, here’s the truth, wrapped in science and style: polyester isn’t just a fabric. It’s a synthetic microbe magnet that’s trapping heat, shedding microplastics, and letting toxic chemicals settle in. Ready to cut ties with your synthetic wardrobe? Catch The Polyester Paradox—link in bio. Time to level up, gorgeous. Your skin and your microbiome deserve better.
