Why We Get Sick

The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most Chronic Disease - and How to Fight It

De: Benjamin Bikman PhD

Narrado por: George Newbern

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.

Excellent

Book was absolutely excellent and explained exactly what we needed to know. uses evidence-based research to guide lifestyle changes.

Life changing!

Love it!! highly recommended, tell your doctor to buy it😆 help someone with this book.

Valuable read + PDF to reference

Valuable nutritional information and science behind insulin resistant medical conditions. The narrator could slow down his read a bit and when referring the listener to the PDF, it would help to give the page number referenced. Also I could not find the test to check my gylcemic level. The attached PDF is worth buying this book. This content reminds me of the Dr.Gundry advice for good healthy eating and food shopping :)

Highly Actionable

Great book, not sure if author is leading reader into an insulin controlled lifestyle or is a twisted/ rinse/repeat of a ketogenic diet. Nonetheless, great content and highly actionable.

Very informative!

I don't even know where to start. All of my health issues are now making sense. You get not only diagnosis and data from this book but also directions on how to improve your health. The best health related book I've read so far.
