Why We Get Sick by Benjamin Bikman PhD is a popular science and health book about insulin resistance, metabolic dysfunction, and their possible role in modern chronic disease. Bikman, a biomedical scientist and professor whose research focuses on metabolism, obesity, diabetes, and insulin, presents insulin resistance as an underrecognized biological problem that can precede visible illness by many years. The book is written for general readers rather than specialists, but it draws on physiology, nutrition science, and clinical observations to explain how insulin affects fat storage, blood glucose control, inflammation, fertility, brain energy use, and cardiovascular risk. Its purpose is both explanatory and practical. Bikman argues that many chronic conditions are treated downstream, after symptoms or abnormal glucose levels appear, while the underlying insulin problem may remain unmeasured. The book then proposes lifestyle strategies, especially carbohydrate restriction, fasting, exercise, and attention to dietary fats, as ways to improve metabolic health.
