Re-reading this on the train today😍 Why we get Sick by Dr Ben Bikman particularly explains to the lay person not only what Insulin Resistance is, the consequences of it and the impact on our health but also how to make the necessary lifestyle changes (ie not drugs or medications) to actually reverse the damage it causes. My trip down this rabbit hole began when I was advised by a cardiologist to go on Statins to help my idiopathic high blood pressure. Idiopathic means “they” don’t know what was causing my BP to be so high & why the tablets weren’t working. But their “fix” is to trial another drug and take a statin, even though my cholesterol markers were all good, ie be the drug company’s guinea pig. So I researched everything I could lay my hands on about Insulin Resistance and true to my Human Design Line 1, I am a wealth of info about it. I have reversed a lot of the damage IR did to my body and now take NO BP meds at all. It’s also improved all my menopausal & metabolic symptoms as well because IR affects every system in your body. I can talk about it till the cows come home😂😂🤪. Anyways Great book for learning about it. Enjoy peeps🥰
