Professor Ben Bikman, PhD

Peterson Academy Course

In Why We Get Sick, a seven-hour course, Dr. Benjamin Bikman examines the metabolic origins of chronic disease, focusing on the complex relationship between metabolic health, insulin resistance, and chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, fertility issues, and cancer. The lectures cover the causes and consequences of insulin resistance and challenge conventional views about disease origins. The course concludes with evidence-based solutions, highlighting the effectiveness of dietary changes, lifestyle interventions, and personalized strategies for reversing insulin resistance and improving overall metabolic health.
