#10 – Food for thought (Casey Means & Ben Grynol)

Casey Means, Chief Medical Officer and one of the co-founders of Levels, changed her outlook on food at a young age. When she was 14 years old, she realized that food, and the philosophy behind it, was a deep and intimate relationship that would evolve continuously into her adult years.

Her curiosity led her down the path of studying and understanding the biochemistry of the food that she was consuming. Eventually, that curiosity led her to become one of the co-founders of Levels.

Levels helps you see how food affects your health, empowering you with the tools needed to achieve health goals and improve healthspan. Levels Members gain access to the Levels app and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), providing real-time feedback on how diet and lifestyle choices impact your metabolic health.
