So have you ever felt just completely blindsided by some health issue that seemed to come out of nowhere?

Like one day everything's fine, the next year is slapped with the diagnosis that turns a world upside down, or just symptoms that you can't figure out.

Well, get ready because what you're about to hear may just rewrite everything you thought you knew about health, disease, and how to achieve

true metabolic fitness. My guest has uncovered a common denominator that links many of the most

prevalent chronic diseases of our time, from heart disease and cancer to Alzheimer's and

infertility. It's not just what you eat, but something much deeper that's been hiding in plain sight.

Dr. Benjamin Bickman is a brilliant biomedical scientist, and he's here to kind of blow the lid off.

One of the biggest missed opportunities in modern medicine, something that he calls insulin resistance.

Ben earned his PhD in bioenergetics and did postdoctoral work at Duke

National University of Singapore, specializing in metabolic disorders. He's the author of the

groundbreaking book, Why We Get Sick, and a professor laser focused on cracking the code of

insulin's effects when it goes awry. And during our conversation, he reveals some really surprising

truths about things like carbs, fat, protein, and how getting the balance right is critical

for insulin sensitivity. You'll also discover the overlooked roles of stress, inflammation,

and even lack of sleep in fueling this modern epidemic that often goes completely unchecked.

And he shares powerful, pragmatic strategies to first help identify when insulin resistance is present

and then what to do about it.

So if you've ever struggled with a chronic condition, been frustrated by conventional advice,

or simply want to optimize your metabolic resilience, get ready. This conversation just might change everything for you.

So excited to share it with you. I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is Good Life Project.

Miss, I don't get it.

I'm not doing it.
