We are unwell. Globally, we are facing diseases that were once rare. Millions of people are diagnosed each year with cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and type 2 diabetes. Many more suffer from hypertension, obesity, fatty liver, dementia, low testosterone, menstrual irregularities, infertility.

We address the symptoms of these diseases without realizing that they all share something in common. Each and every one of them is caused or exacerbated by a condition known as insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is the most common health disorder worldwide and affects more people, both adults and children, each year compared to any other disease.

In this book, Benjamin Bikman explores why insulin plays such a critical role in our health, outlines the consequences of its increase, and suggests ways to address it. He equips us with the essential knowledge derived from evidence-based scientific research and guides us step-by-step through the actions we need to take in order to prevent or even reverse insulin resistance via simple lifestyle changes while avoiding any medication.

This book is aimed at any reader interested in shedding excess body fat, preventing heart disease, reducing the risk of cancer, and optimizing brain function.
