Dr. Ben Bikman’s New Book “How Not to Get Sick” Releases This Week

Dr. Ben Bikman announces the release of his new book, “How Not to Get Sick,” which is a follow-up to his previous work, “Why We Get Sick.”
In “How Not to Get Sick,” Dr. Bikman emphasizes the importance of understanding insulin resistance, its origins, and its implications for health.
The book is structured in two parts: the first delves into the science behind insulin resistance, helping readers assess their own insulin resistance status through clinical and at-home tests. The second part provides practical guidance on addressing insulin resistance, including dietary and exercise strategies. Dr. Bikman collaborates with Diana Keuilian, a co-author, to offer detailed meal plans and exercise routines tailored to different levels of insulin resistance.
Dr. Bikman highlights the relevance of fasting and proper macronutrient management in controlling insulin levels. He discusses the role of protein, fats, and carbohydrates in the diet, advocating for a balanced approach to nutrition. Additionally, he underscores the importance of muscle mass and exercise in managing insulin resistance, providing scientific evidence to support his recommendations.
Ultimately, Ben aims to educate and empower readers to take control of their metabolic health. He believes that understanding the underlying mechanisms of chronic diseases and implementing lifestyle changes are essential for preventing and reversing insulin resistance. Through his book and public engagements, he hopes to broaden his reach and help more people achieve better health outcomes.
The book is available wherever books are sold.

[@Robin-lr2zw]

When you said "I have to believe that there is value in understanding the process" -- THAT is the exact reason I follow you and listen to many of your seminars and talks. I am hungry to learn and understand what is happening and why. You, Dr.Bikman, are a rare gem in your ability to make complex human physiology understandable. I am truly grateful.

[@viramandybur]

Dr. Bikman, I wish I had you as a professor...you have educated more people and saved more lives than you will ever know. So grateful for your work...thank you. Eagerly awaiting your latest book.

[@MelzCarnivoreJourney]

There is value in understanding. I reversed type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, kidney stones, peripheral neuropathy, chronic inflammation, and pain... Basically, by following your principles. I actually went carnivor and used intermittent fasting. I've done it for 3 years now and feel great!! Oh. I also lost 90 pounds too!

[@iainneilson1453]

Before I even started looking at low-carb and ketogenic diets, and while I was on the brink of Type 2 Diabetes, the questions in my mind (and frequently passing my lips) were, "what is the root cause?" and "what can I do to address it?" No matter how many people I asked, the answers I received were unsatisfactory, until I stopped asking those who treated my symptoms and started looking for answers elsewhere. There are thousands of people out there, telling me how to address it, but the reason I follow you is that you provide such clear and eloquent explanations of the mechanisms and processes: the root causes of metabolic dysfunction. Thank you for being you, and for presenting what you know with such balance, clarity and attention to detail.

[@ttalvit1e]

This is the thing for me also in this age. I tend to place my trust in arguments that are backed up by explanations. Given I'm highly educated and have far above average reasoning capabilities, with years of working experience in positions with scientific aspects, I might have it easier than many to do this. But still I would encourage everyone to not trust anyone just because of their position. More so if there are competing ideas WITH explanations and reasoning attached. This is why I like Ben Bikman. He tells the WHY not just the WHAT.

[@gloriagiorgi1026]

dear Dr Bikman, you keep on repeating you’re not a doctor, not a personal trainer, not a nutritionist: thank God! Most of these people don’t know anything about metabolic health. So cheers to the professor who can open up a lot of eyes! So excited about this book, after devouring the other one!

[@WilliamFluery]

I was on 7 meds for 20+ years of my life. January 2022, I went Keto, OMAD and walked 8 miles every other day. October 2022, I lost 50 lbs, got off the 7 medications, guided by the same doctor who put me on them, and had the best blood test results ever. My doctor said, “You now have a 5% chance of continued success.” He also said, “I’ve given up trying to convince patients to change their diet. It’s a waste of time…OH and by the way your LDL cholesterol is within range but if it gets too high, I will need to put you on a statin.” I realized I’ve had a highly educated prescription drug dealer.” I fired my doctor.

NOT being a coach is one of your strengths. I'm over one-solution, mine-is-the-only-way coaching industry.

From the sound of it, this book will quite literally save lives. You do important work, Dr Bikman, and making it accessible to laypeople is a great gift. Thank you.

[@LadySelene100]

My type 2 diabetes is completly gone because of you. In hindsight I can understand how and why i dogded a bullet at my doctor's office when diagnosed with this illness, because you put your ressearch out on youtube, and I listened to you instead. I can give a coherent explanation to other type 2 diabetics whenever i meet them. So if anything we are grateful to you, because you have saved/are going to save our entire species. Thank you for saving my life. 🙂

[@JoyCrossbridge]

Dr. Bikman has the heart of a true educator, which is to help teach people to think for themselves. Just ordered the book!! Can’t wait to read it!

[@jobrown8146]

I have found that understanding what is happening in my body helps me to stick with low carb because I understand the why I do it, not just what to do. I've watched a wide variety of videos on various body processes. I've also watched a BBC documentary of an autopsy on a morbidly obese lady, as well as on various parts of the body. When you see what is inside the body when it's not the way it should be it makes me not want to have that in my body. I remitted my diabetes, got off BP drug and lost more than 25% of my starting weight without trying and now weigh what I did in the mid 1980s before having children. Just by changing what I eat.

God bless you and Robert Cywes, M.D. - my two favorite geniuses in this space.🙏💖

[@Thundercloud1969]

Dr.Bikman, after listening this video I just wanted to express my gratitude for the way you put your passion/mission out in the world and how it keeps motivating me doing my job more efficient and with the same passion. You just are being you in the way you presented this information for us to pick it up and"spread the word". In that coach, nutritionist and med.trainer in a big organisation and I encounter the serious changes in damaged health from people who struggle to get healthier and I do my very best to support them into a healthier situation. Your information makes me more complete and keeps me on my toes and motivated to do my very best in the things that I do because sometimes it's hard. And I do this for a long time. So, thank you very much and keep the info coming please! Warm greetings from the Netherlands!

[@michellewelch6013]

The value in understanding my own health has been foremost in my personal journey with t2 diabetes and learning to care for myself. I MUST understand what is happening before I can turn this ship and move a different direction. Im deeply grateful for the knowledge that you have imparted which I can apply to myself. I feel as though I have been given the key to the “medical secrets” that have prevented me understanding my own body. Heartfelt thanks for teaching in a relatable manner, and reaching out to whomever will listen and learn.

[@astrocalm812]

Preordered! Thank you for your wonderful manner and dedication. Appreciate you so much. What I learned from folks talking about insulin resistance took me from over 100lbs overweight to slim and pain free… healthier than ever in my life, and at 62 I enjoy so much that poor quality food once robbed me of. Mental health, size 4 clothes, exercise endurance, shapely muscles, excellent blood pressure, blood sugar, insulin, waist circumference and confidence. The relentless hunger has given way to easy 16/8 IF most days. Ben Bickman is a brave hero!

[@juliecoxen8379]

I really NEED this new book! I've watched many of your videos and have been carnivore for almost a year, and I feel like I'm getting worse as far as my health, instead of better!😢. My husband is doing very well, so I know it works, but having autoimmune issues and my thyroid not functioning well and entering menopause, I'm at a loss!! 😢. I'm very hopeful this book will help me understand better what to do! Thank you! ❤️

[@arwenhardy1995]

Look into bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

[@jobrown8146]

Dr Ken Berry has some videos about thyroid. And possibly about menopause too.

[@Tee667]

In feel ya!!!! I’m 58, in menopause 4 years. Carnivore 20 months and lots of extended fasting has helped enormously BUT it’s not enough. I started bio-identicals in feb this year. And the functional doc helping me is treating me for methylation issues. This has helped ALOT. Considering my diet my Vit B’s and folate where in my boots. I just wasn’t absorbing them. They weren’t the only prob. I have been hormonally compromised since puberty and no doubt before! I came to understand this due to Dr Bickman. I’ve lost children. I’m not giving in. Sending you HUGS and continued commitment. Regards Tee

[@arwenhardy1995]

@@Tee667 I became folate deficient on strict carnivore, one of the reasons I've added a bit of broccoli or asparagus 1 - 2 times per week. I think this happened due to excessive, prolonged Prilosec usage for gastritis (probably caused by Metformin).

You should join one of the carnivore communities and let them help you troubleshoot! Steak and Butter Gal has a great one with daily zoom calls and you can ask the doctors questions when they visit the calls several times per month. Best wishes ❤️ 🥩🙏

Reading Why We Get Sick right now. I am very likely to buy this next book too. It has helped tremendously to curb my sugar/carb addiction by knowing about the damage that excessive amounts of sugar and other carbs has already caused to my body and things that it will cause if I don't change my lifestyle.

[@meatdog]

Nope, IT is STILL Publish or Perish . When I was a college professor, I was always writing and publishing. The average person has no idea the outside stress of that directive. Tenure is much more difficult than it used to be. And for me the publications had to be purposeful, not just a compilation of manuscripts to fill my CV. SO I appreciate your books. I have studied Why We Get Sick and the pages are dog-eared. I will be getting this new book. Thank you, professor Bikman.

Love you Dr Bikman for your passion to help people get metabolically healthy! I read your first book and was inspired to get healthy and make better choices.

I think this book will be very helpful, especially for people who don't have the time to listen to the information online. I've listened/watched hundreds of hours since being diagnosed diabetic in Oct 2021. Successfully remitted by changing to low carb.

[@EricaMater-fy4tr]

Thank you so much for your teachings, you changed my life a couple of years ago. You are right , once I began to understand the mechanisms and what really happens in one’s body, I could not go back to my former lifestyle. No one is too old to learn…. I am now 85 years…. Question: do you think there is a chance that your new book will be translated into Dutch?

[@HosuyakawaYazuki-]

Pre-ordered - 2 of them. One is for my friend who sadly has a problem with weight, addicted so badly to carbs, and has no faith he can beat it. Never tried a low-carb approach, only calorie restriction and exercise...failed a few times. Hopefully, I will be able to catch you for a brief moment during a conference in Poland, and you can perhaps sign them for me :)
