Dr. Benjamin Bikman just dropped a masterclass on insulin resistance.

He revealed shocking truths about the hidden epidemic destroying our health.

Here are 8 secrets Big Pharma doesn't want you to understand: Image
1. Insulin Resistance Is the Root of Almost Everything

They call Alzheimer's "type 3 diabetes" - it's literally insulin resistance of the brain.

Erectile dysfunction?

Insulin resistance of blood vessels.

PCOS?

Insulin resistance affecting the ovaries.
2. Your Fat Cell Size Matters More Than Your Weight

Two people can have the same body fat percentage but completely different health outcomes.

It's not how much fat you have - it's how BIG your fat cells are.

When fat cells get too large, they become insulin resistant and start poisoning your entire body.
3. You Can Make Someone Insulin Resistant in 6 Hours

Three things will do it instantly:

• Stress
• Inflammation
• Too much insulin

Remove these? The resistance disappears just as fast.
4. We're Poisoning Our Kids in the Womb

Mothers with gestational diabetes are programming their babies for obesity.

These kids have a 40% higher chance of being obese as teenagers.

The baby literally develops in a high-insulin, high-glucose environment.
5. The Air You Breathe Is Making You Fat

Dr. Bikman's lab proved that diesel exhaust particles cause fat cells to grow larger.

Animals breathing polluted air got fatter on the SAME amount of food.

Cities with higher pollution always have higher diabetes rates.
6. Vaping Is Worse Than Cigarettes for Insulin Resistance

Chemical for chemical, vaping causes more inflammation and insulin resistance than traditional smoking.

Yet everyone thinks it's "safer."

Your metabolism doesn't care about your lungs - it cares about the chemical assault.
7. Muscle Is Your Metabolic Savior

When muscle contracts, it opens glucose doors WITHOUT needing insulin.

More muscle = better glucose control = lower insulin = better health.

Strength training beats cardio for metabolic health every single time.
8. Ketones Are Brain Superfuel

In ketosis, your belly fat burns calories 3x faster than normal.

Alzheimer's patients who can't tie their shoes suddenly can when in ketosis.

Your brain runs better on ketones than glucose - that's why you feel so sharp on keto.
The bottom line:

This isn't just about losing weight.

It's about saving your brain, your fertility, and your life.

88% of people are walking around with a metabolic time bomb.

The question is: will you be in the 12% who takes control?
What surprised you most about insulin resistance?

Cholesterol.

Most people fear it.
Doctors demonize it.
Big Pharma profits from it.

But here's the truth:

Your body needs cholesterol to survive.

Here's what it is, what matters (& how to manage it naturally): Image
1. What is cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in every cell in your body.

It's used to make:

• Hormones (like testosterone & estrogen)
• Bile acids (for digestion)
• Vitamin D

Without it?

You die.
2. Good vs bad cholesterol?

There's no such thing as "good" or "bad" cholesterol.

What most people mean:

• LDL = "bad" (carries cholesterol to tissues)
• HDL = "good" (carries it away to the liver)

You need both.

Balance is key.

“Control the food, Control the people”
- Henry Kissinger, 1974.

Mainstream media has been feeding you lies since you were a child…

Here are the 15 health myths they lied to you about:

1. Myth: Organic Means Healthier Image
Truth: "Organic is not a statement about food safety."

- Dan Glickman, Secretary of Agriculture

While organic fruits and vegetables can reduce pesticide exposure, it doesn’t automatically mean the food is healthy or nutrient-dense.
2. Myth: Eggs Raise Your Cholesterol

Truth: Egg yolks are rich in nutrients like choline and vitamins D and B12.

They do not significantly impact blood cholesterol in the way previously thought.
