Publisher's Summary
A scientist reveals the groundbreaking evidence linking many major diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease, to a common root cause - insulin resistance - and shares an easy, effective plan to reverse and prevent it.
We are sick. Around the world, we struggle with diseases that were once considered rare. Cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes affect millions each year; many people are also struggling with hypertension, weight gain, fatty liver, dementia, low testosterone, menstrual irregularities and infertility, and more. We treat the symptoms, not realizing that all of these diseases and disorders have something in common.
Each of them is caused or made worse by a condition known as insulin resistance. And you might have it. Odds are you do - more than half of all adults in the United States are insulin resistant, with most other countries either worse or not far behind.
In Why We Get Sick, internationally renowned scientist and pathophysiology Professor Benjamin Bikman explores why insulin resistance has become so prevalent and why it matters. Unless we recognize it and take steps to reverse the trend, major chronic diseases will be even more widespread. But reversing insulin resistance is possible, and Bikman offers an evidence-based plan to stop and prevent it, with helpful food lists, meal suggestions, easy exercise principles, and more. Full of surprising research and practical advice, Why We Get Sick will help you to take control of your health.

I've found the MISSING PUZZLE PIECES!
I've known for quite some time there are reasons as to why I haven't been losing weight and why
I feel I have to be careful to not allow diabetes to come into my life. Now I know just why I haven't
been losing weight with all of the do's and don't's that I keep abiding to with all the weight-
management programs out there.
I now have the MISSING PUZZLE PIECES with a fountain load of golden nuggets to finally get
my health back and my weight back to where it used to be.
This author is extremely knowledgeable and the audio is very easy to listen to with a soft-spoken voice added.

Solid evidence based information
Ben Bickman shares a plethora of useful and helpful information. I understand so much more about insulin and insulin resistance today than I ever have.
The most helpful part for me was finding out about triglyceride and HDL ratios. I couldn’t understand how after following the Very low carb keto my triglycerides were so high.
I recommend this book to anyone that is not living their healthiest life.

Very Informative!
I found this book to have a lot of interesting and easily understood information.
Due to the fact that my husband is a diabetic I'm always trying to find good, reliable strategies to implement in order to help him overcome this devastating condition.
