I listen to Ben as much as possible. I've listened to his book twice and I learn more everytime. Everyone has a different opinion of nutrition and health. Instead of making myself crazy trying to figure out who is right. I chose one and I'm sticking with Ben.
That's a very wise decision ;). He is among those unsung heroes who are quietly revolutionising the world of clinical science. He is gaining popularity but I'm having a very hard time convincing my fellow medical professionals to have a look at his work and lectures. It's embarrassing to see the blind adherence that a huge proportion of clinicians still have to old misguided science in this day and age.
Dr Bickman, there are many young people, who were once strong and healthy, but are now being destroyed by long covid. Their mitochondria are so damaged. Please help. Your expertise is absolutely essential. We are desperate.
Insulin resistance/metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes are the same disease. When viewed through the insulin-centric model (Bikman's model) they're just different parts of the same continuum. Mainstream medicine uses a glucose-centric model, and in that model they're different diseases. When the insulin resistance becomes so severe that you can't keep your fasting blood sugar below 125 they put the "Diabetes type 2" label on it and it gets its own ICD code. And that's typically when most docs will start treating you with meds. Of course by the time they recognize it you probably already have complications, such as kidney disease, eye disease, cardiovascular disease, erectile dysfunction, PCOS, obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, fatty liver, hypertension, skin tags, depression, anxiety, migraines, etc. You're also likely to be one one or more meds. So the answer is "yes", it's driving the vast majority of all chronic diseases.

@@vernonkuhns3561 - sugar, processed carbs, vegetable/seed oils, and how often we eat. Insulin is raised whenever we eat, and because we eat so often and we eat the junk we eat, it is raised more and more often. When it is raised over and over, the body becomes insulin resistant. The way to reverse it is to eat lower carb, no seed oils, no sugar, no processed foods, and eat less often by incorporating fasting. This way, insulin has an opportunity to lower, and the body can then let go of its body fat, which is impossible when insulin is consistently high.

good choice
Compulsive viewing! This man speaks so well and makes such sense that I HAD to listen til the end. Thank you 🙏
Ben is awesome, this is so important information.
Great insight, understanding, and objective truthful awareness. Thanks
Praise the Bikman
Thanks Ben bikman!

Who is the scientist from the 80s that he quoted?
Is Diabetes driving the other diseases or is insulin resistance/metabolic syndrome driving all of them??
Insulin resistance/metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes are the same disease.

Excess Insulin drives them
@@shankar4330 So what is driving excess insulin...
