2020 Foreword Indie Award Honorable Mention in the “Health” Category 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—over 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.

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 28 September 2022

Not the meds and insulin shots your GP prescribes, but the knowledge of what's going on inside your body will save you. That alone.
Knowingly or unknowingly, according to Dr Ben, we have been fighting blind. We are meeting our enemy's eyes straight on. We have been fighting the wrong enemy.

Sugar (and all other carbs) is the villain. Acute and Chronically hugh insulin is the root cause of all the lifestyle diseases we get. Without understanding the importance of this very much potent hormone, we are abusing it.

He asks us to stop all the foods that poke your insulin levels and you will be lower risk of cardiovascular and macrovascular complications. I have tried it for myself and I am already seeing the apparent benefits within 3 months. I couldn't believe how much my body was eager to repair itself if it's given a freaking chance.

Read this book (and other books by Dr Jason Fung and Dr Rober Lustig) and give your body a chance. It doesn't deserve this much abuse, for that matter.

A life saving book, scientifically referenced, publicly accessible and well written.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 9 February 2021

At 55- I arrived late at the caring about health party.
Ive read and YouTubed my way through a lot on insulin resistance and related subjects.
This book is fantastic (builds great detail on YouTube interviews with author (Benjamin Bikman) , if you prefer to first check that format).
The facts, the pace, the layout, the science blended with the accessibility of well explained information. It documents what any mature (I still reserve the right to be immature) observer has seen play out in their own and the life of others around them. The health issues we see and lose people to - even better with options, that are simple (they may or may not be easy - but contrasted with early death, are good to understand) .
Many books I now "read" on audible, some books are great in that format - This book isn't IMO suitable for that, it needs the ability to go fast or slow and pause for clarity. I don't mean its a hard scientific read, but nor is it a book at bedtime.
But at the end of the read - well I suspect you can add years on a life, not many books can claim that. Not only that, if need be you can hold your own against any medical professional or sceptical friend, who doubts your emerging belief that ownership is the real key to health.
I've started to give it as a present to family members (usually over 30), some may think "why is this mad uncle giving me this irrelevant book" - I say "well give it a skim read, drop it in your awareness - and if its not for you, please pass it to a parent - preferably one I get to hang out with as I age, so they can be around" (hopefully with a bit of madness, in terms of ideas and taking chances on our ability, not Alzheimer's ).
Its the best value £15.57, Ive ever spent (lets not count those mad nights long ago - ) I suspect, the extra gifted copies will pay off like no other investment I've made, but I doubt my review will be updated then :).
Well done the author Benjamin Bickman (No he isn't in my family) - for making really important latest science discoveries accessible, to those of us who are interested in, but are not scientists - that is a skill possessed by very few.

I've been interested in this subject for 5 years now, and Professor Bikman does a great job of laying out all of the evidence . He follows up with sensible advice on how to fix the biggest health issue known to modern humans.

I dont really write reviews but felt compelled to on this occasion. It’s a book that everyone should read, I wish I’d been made aware of the messages years ago. I read it in 2 sittings. Easy to read and understand. It’s inspired me to take control and make better choices like no book/person has ever done before. Couldn’t recommend it more!

This man is amazing and his writing is as good as his speaking. Wonderful information, clearly put and I believe every word he says, even though it is controversial and goes against in the main stream dogma.

Well done Ben Bikman, you are a star and shining light in this crazy world.
