Why We Fall Sick

A scientist reveals groundbreaking findings linking many major diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease, to a single underlying cause-insulin resistance-and gives an easy, effective approach for reversing and preventing it.

We are sick. We are dealing with diseases that were formerly thought to be rare all across the world. Every year, millions of people are affected by cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes; many people also struggle with hypertension, weight gain, fatty liver, dementia, low testosterone, menstruation irregularities and infertility, and other issues. We treat the symptoms, oblivious to the fact that all of these diseases and disorders share some characteristics.

Insulin resistance is a disorder that causes or worsens all of them. And you could have it. Over half of all adults in the United States are insulin resistant, and most other countries are either worse or close behind.

Mark Dickson, an internationally renowned scientist and pathophysiology professor, investigates why insulin resistance has become so common and why it matters in his book Why We Fall Sick. Major chronic diseases will become even more prevalent unless we realize it and take actions to change the trend. However, insulin resistance can be reversed, and Mark provides an evidence-based method to halt and avoid it, including useful food lists, meal choices, simple workout guidelines, and more. Why We Fall Sick is a book full with unexpected information and practical suggestions that can help you take control of your health.
