238: The most common health issue no one’s talking about

by Dr. Steven Gundry | Jan 17, 2023 | 0 comments

Obesity, heart disease, neurodegeneration – the list of modern diseases go on and on.

They may seem unrelated but research shows that the cause of many serious illnesses may actually be driven by one thing.

I’m talking about insulin resistance. Surprisingly, it’s the most common health disorder worldwide – yet very few people are familiar with it. And no, it’s not just a diabetic issue.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Ben Bikman – a renowned metabolic research scientist, co-founder of HLTH Code, Professor at Brigham Young University, and author of the book, Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most Chronic Disease – and How to Fight It.

Dr. Bikman and I unpack insulin resistance and how it affects virtually every system in the body.
