The health category of the 2020 Foreword Indie Award received an honorable mention for the groundbreaking research that links a number of significant illnesses, including cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease, to a single underlying cause: insulin resistance. The author, a scientist, discusses an easy-to-follow strategy for reversing and preventing insulin resistance, which is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide.

We are ill. Diseases that were once thought to be uncommon plague us all over the world. Each year, millions of people are afflicted with cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes, and many more are also dealing with hypertension, weight gain, fatty liver, dementia, low testosterone, menstrual irregularities, and infertility. We treat the symptoms without realizing that all of these diseases and disorders share a common cause. Insulin resistance is the root cause of each of them, making it more severe or exacerbating the condition. You probably have it, too. Insulin resistance affects more than half of all adults in the United States, and most other countries are either worse or not far behind.

In Why We Get Sick, internationally renowned scientist and pathophysiology professor Benjamin Bikman delves into the reasons behind the prevalence of insulin resistance and its significance. Unless we acknowledge it and take steps to reverse the trend, the prevalence of major chronic diseases will continue to increase. However, reversing insulin resistance is achievable, and Bikman provides an evidence-based plan to achieve this, including helpful food lists, meal suggestions, and easy exercise principles.

Full of surprising research and practical advice, Why We Get Sick will empower you to take control of your health.
