Why We Get Sick - Dr. Ben Bikman
Why We Get Sick – Dr. Ben Bikman
This one’s like pulling back the curtain on the whole damn show—insulin, the master puppeteer pulling the strings. Bikman doesn’t sugarcoat it (pun intended!). He’s here to tell you that insulin resistance isn’t some fringe concern—it’s the whole damn game. Too crazy to believe? Trust me once you’re done with this you’ll be wondering how crazy this information is not mainstream medical news.
What’s the Deal?
Dr. Bikman lays it out clear as day: insulin resistance isn’t just about diabetes. It’s the hidden engine behind obesity, heart disease, dementia—you name it. He writes like he’s got a mission: to slap you awake and make you see the real villain behind modern disease.
What Hit Me Hard:
This book rewired my brain. I’d always thought blood sugar was the main issue—Bikman says, forget blood sugar, think insulin. Fix that, and everything else falls in line. It was like someone finally gave me the missing key to the whole metabolic puzzle.
How I Changed:
After reading this, I stopped obsessing about carbs in isolation—I started thinking about insulin. I doubled down on cutting out the processed crap that spikes insulin, not just sugar. I hit the weights harder, not just for the mirror, but to push insulin sensitivity up. It’s not about dieting—it’s about taking back the controls.
Who Should Read This?
If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t want a Band-Aid—you want the root cause—this book’s for you. Bikman doesn’t dance around it; he gets to the heart of why we’re sicker than ever, and what to do about it.
Final Shot:
Why We Get Sick didn’t just inform me—it lit a fire under me. If you’re tired of treating the symptoms and want to fix the engine, read this book. It’ll change the way you see food, exercise, and even your own body.
