We are so excited to have Dr. Benjamin Bikman back on the show. He is joining us today to share with us the new things he has been learning and working on. We open with an in-depth discussion of the factors related to insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia as well as the complex relationship between the two metabolic disorders. We discuss the content of Dr. Bikman’s upcoming book, Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most Chronic Disease—and How to Fight It. What is the natural purpose of insulin resistance in the human body? Which proteins are most ideal for health in the human body? We talk about these questions and more in this episode. Thank you for listening!
