Benjamin Bikman earned his PhD in Bioenergetics and was a postdoctoral fellow with the Duke-National University of Singapore studying metabolic disorders. Currently, his professional focus as a scientist and professor (Brigham Young University) is to better understand the origins and consequences of metabolic disorders, including obesity and diabetes, with a particular emphasis on the role of insulin. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals and presents at international science and public meetings.

“What if, instead of all these conditions and disease being
separate and unconnected, one physiological state—elevated insulin
levels—was the driver of all this suffering? In Why We Get Sick,
Benjamin Bikman unpacks the root cause of modern diseases and
provides a concise road map to help you regain or maintain your
health.”
—Robb Wolf, New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling
author
“This book is a unique, rigorous contribution to understanding
insulin resistance as an underlying cause of chronic disease and
aging. Well written and highly accessible, Dr. Bikman has written a
book for both scientists and the average reader who seeks a path
back to good health.”
—Nina Teicholz, science journalist and New York Times bestselling
author of The Big Fat Surprise
“It’s time to make ‘insulin resistance’ part of the public lexicon.
That so many people are unaware of this widespread condition with
serious ramifications is a monumental problem, and it’s one that
Why We Get Sick sets out to solve.”
—Dr. Aseem Malhotra, cardiologist and professor of evidence-based
medicine
“Thoroughly researched and extensively documented, Why We Get Sick
is a comprehensive and indispensable primer on insulin resistance
and how it affects virtually every system in the body. Dr. Bikman
presents not only an easy-to-understand guide to how and why
insulin resistance develops, but a treatment handbook as well.”
—Michael R. Eades, MD, New York Times bestselling coauthor of
Protein Power
“Insulin resistance underpins nearly every single chronic disease
that we struggle with today and ultimately costs us countless
billions of dollars in health-care spending, as well as an untold
amount of human suffering. Professor Ben Bikman masterfully lays
out the role of insulin resistance in disease, how it affects our
bodies, and, most important, how to fix it!”
—Shawn Baker, MD, author of The Carnivore Diet and CEO of
MeatRx.com
“Bikman’s sweeping summary of the science of human metabolism makes
the ironclad case for insulin resistance as Public Health Enemy #1.
Whether the reader is interested in losing excess body fat,
optimizing brain function, preventing heart disease, reducing
cancer risk, or improving fertility—this expert curation of the
research leaves no stone unturned.”
—Georgia Ede, MD, nutritional psychiatrist
