Ben Bikman - Why We Get Sick: The Role of Metabolism in Health

Video Description

Despite their differences, the most common and lethal chronic diseases all have one thing in common—they’re all caused or exacerbated by a metabolic condition known as insulin resistance. The purpose of this talk is to not only define insulin resistance and provide an appreciation for its prevalence, but also establish a clear series of cause and consequence of the disorder. This lecture is part of the IHMC Evening Lecture series. https://www.ihmc.us/life/evening_lectures/
