Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most Chronic Di

❤️

I’m in love with this book. Definitely worth the money and time spent reading.

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 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.

Dreadful. Absolutely nothing new in this book that I haven’t read in numerous other books that are all 10+ years old. If it wasn’t published in 2020, I may not have written such a harsh review. But please don’t waste your money. If you’re already well-versed in this subject, you’ll be bitterly disappointed.

nice interesting read , it gives you up date on why you should eat low carb especially if your confused about insulin resistance . small tweeks to your life make all the difference .yes there is some research and heavy stuff to read . I read then go , read another part . I think in time once I have read it through i can then look at research .in detail .its nicely laid out in chapters enjoyable , i have am a crab addict and its tough cutting them out so when i fall of the wagon then a book like this is giving me up date on why i should cut them oh if you do have carbs eat them after the protein and veg learnt that trick
