Is too much insulin a root cause for the chronic diseases that plague modern society? According to Professor Ben Bikman, it likely is.
And he should know. Professor Bikman is a scientist and researcher who specializes in insulin and its effects on our health.
In his new book, Why We Get Sick, Dr. Bikman makes a case for why we need to target insulin levels to improve global health. As you’ll hear him say, lifestyle choices can cause insulin resistance, and they can cure it, too. The tools are at our disposal; we just need to know what they are and how to use them.
Dr. Bikman speaks with a combination of authority and humility that’s rare in today’s world of soundbites. I appreciate his expertise and his approach, and I hope you will as well.

how irresponsible. How can they not know that insulin would lead to weight gain or did they not even bother to tell you that might happen? That's been common knowledge since people started taking insulin for Type 1; they start gaining weight and it was considered a good thing because they were wasting away before. I'm glad you found out that something can be done before it becomes another health issue for you. Good Luck and Be well.

On problems of prosperity: I grow all my own fruits and vegetables, and enough for relatives and neighbors to get some. Many days, I am outside 5-6 hours per day, moving compost or mulch, digging, tying up, weeding, mowing with a push mower, raking, turning compost. I also go fishing now and then. So much of my food is fresh, maximum nutrition, eaten or frozen within minutes or, at worst, hours of harvest. I get more Vitamin D from the sun than most. And there are mood-elevating chemicals in soil, they say, so I work glove-free and barefoot. Some years, I get a deer a relative has hunted. This year, I'm getting hens for eggs. With all my mind, heart, and body, I believe this is closer to what we're supposed to do, what our bodies are hardwired to do. Sitting in a cubicle for 9 hours and eating sugar most assuredly is not.

Ben Bikman is one of the great modern heroes of our times. I wondered many times how many millions of lives will he save by shifting the paradigm on diabetes and the perception we have of insulin? Tens of millions? Hundreds? Certainly over time. Of course to that many others contribute, from health coaches to doctors and dietitians that similarly contributed to changing outdated attitudes in the medical establishment, but research professors have a special place among them for providing the explanations and the evidence all the rest use to proliferate the knowledge. His Children should be(and am sure they are) very proud of their father.

I am doing fasting with low carb and it works.OMAD helps me with my insulin resistance. The key is I eat even less than I ate before now and much less carbs. I lowered my calorie intake. Feeling full is not easy when you have insulin resistance. So eating only once is much easier for me. I feel full and stop eating. So I eat half of what I was eating before I started OMAD. I eat very few carbs. I feel so good after around 18-19 hours of fasting. I am doing this to get rid of my insulin resistance and the infections that it is causing in my body.

In addition, community, gratitude and genuine happiness are almost always under represented in these type of interviews. We need to be careful of reductionist thinking.

Awesome interview, thank you dr. Scher and prof. Bikman! Just a note: if you do time restricted eating/IF/OMAD combined with LC for a while a do it correctly, e. g. you are fat adapted, your hunger and cravings go away. When you then eat nutritionaly dense food and quality protein and fats, it is actually hard to overdo => satiating effect of protein and fat. Your hormones kick-in and your body tells you when to stop. You just have to watch for meal timing and like Prof. Bikman said, don’t eat right before bed. Finish at least 2 hours or more before sleeping.

The scenario that you mention at the end where OMAD becomes a mini binge was me when I first started. I knew it wasn't ideal, but it was better than eating ("sugar") all day and it was what I could manage at that time. Gradually it is improving as I get more educated and healthier, without me having to try really too hard. It's a mistake to assume our long term results will be based on how good or bad our plan is when we first start out. Do what you can, even if it's a little. If you have to promise yourself a high carb reward to get through your first ten 20- hour fasts, who cares? Just gradually keep trying to do better when you are able. As they say, the perfect is the enemy of the good.

I agree, I cut my sugar intake slowly over 3 years. I didn't have much of a plan only to cut it out completely at some point. Initially I would only buy packaged food with 20gsugar/100g, then after few months would only buy products with 10g sugar or less in 100g of the product. Finally it was less than a 5g sugar and then went down to 1 tsp/week. This wasn't overly difficult bearing in mind how addictive sugar can be.

His study of insulin is very telling, and needs those who can work with him from there.

As always I love Prof. Bikman's knowledge on insulin. I also brought his book. I just want to touch on OMAD. I have been doing intermittent fasting for decades. It used to called skipping meals. But anyway, I find that Your body don't allow OMAD Binge because you actual get fuller faster when eating OMAD. It is when you allow few hours of eating your OMAD that can cause binge. So, if you pile up a table full of food only eating as much as you can til you feel full, you will not binge comparing to allowing yourself few hours to eat a meal.

This channel is such a great repository of useful and cutting-edge info. Thank you, Dr. Scher and Prof. Bikman. I always love to hear Dr. Ben and his new discoveries or realizations. He's an excellent teacher of what can be pretty complicated stuff. Kudos to you both for a great interview!

Great discussion, but y'all missed a big point. Keto/low carb eliminates the hunger problem. I don't see how I could do int. fasting on a low fat high-carb diet - the hunger would kill me. Eating fat on keto = no hunger. It's truly amazing. I bet most people are much more likely to fast more effectively if they eat keto (or low carb maybe) when they eat. One of you may have mentioned the hunger thing earlier, but it would have been great if one of you had brought it up on the keto/low carb vs low-fat-hi-carb and int. fasting section. Lots of stuff to think about here. Thanks.
