Insulin resistance and why we get sick with Prof. Ben Bikman — Diet Doctor Podcast


Is too much insulin a root cause for the chronic diseases that plague modern society? According to Professor Ben Bikman, it likely is.

And he should know. Professor Bikman is a scientist and researcher who specializes in insulin and its effects on our health.

In his new book, Why We Get Sick, Dr. Bikman makes a case for why we need to target insulin levels to improve global health. As you’ll hear him say, lifestyle choices can cause insulin resistance, and they can cure it, too. The tools are at our disposal; we just need to know what they are and how to use them.

Dr. Bikman speaks with a combination of authority and humility that’s rare in today’s world of soundbites. I appreciate his expertise and his approach, and I hope you will as well.
