About Calley Means
My central premise is that Americans don't want to be sicker, more depressed and more infertile than they've ever been. It is bad incentives causing this. My goal is to help fix that. Truemed is built around the idea that food (and lifestyle habits like exercise and sleep) *IS* medicine and can count for HSA/FSA spending if substantiated by a provider to reverse or prevent a condition. I believe HSA/FSAs are tremendous public policy instruments that unlock choice. We've been engaging with the top compliance experts, health and wellness brands, lawmakers, and regulators to develop a process where qualified patients can unlock HSA/FSA spending on TRUE medicine. I am also co-authoring a book with my sister Dr. Casey Means called Good Energy. The book will use her story inside and outside of the medical system to explain how preventable cellular dysfunction (caused primarily by food) is at the root of nearly every chronic condition that plagues American life - and how to fix it. It will be published by Penguin Avery, the editors who shepherded the top-selling nonfiction book of the past two years (Atomic Habits). I've invested in healthcare companies trying to subvert the current sick-care system, including: Levels (giving patients more data on metabolic health), Atai (leading mental health / psychedelic company), Delix (leading psychedelic company), Rejuveron (leading longevity company) - in addition to consumer startups such as RapidSOS, UpSmith, Dynamic.xyz, and Vibe. I started my career in politics, and have always been passionate about public policy. Today, I am active in groups such as Council on Foreign Relations and Teneo. I am a graduate of Stanford and Harvard Business School.
