Episode 133: Dr. Ben Bikman
In a recent episode of the Thrive State Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Ben about some fascinating topics that intersect health, psychology, and even spirituality. We delved into insulin resistance and why understanding it is crucial for optimal health. But we also explored some emotional wisdom that could be your ultimate medicine. Here’s what you need to know.
The Science Behind Insulin Resistance
Dr. Ben and I discussed insulin resistance and its impact on health. Insulin resistance is a metabolic condition that affects how your body processes glucose. If you’d like to understand the topic better, Dr. Ben’s book “Why We Get Sick” offers a detailed explanation. But for those of you who prefer a quick guide, you can download a free rich resource guide with exercises and longevity and human potential resources at thrivestatestarter.com.
The Mystery of Food Cravings
We both confessed to having certain food “kryptonites” that seem irresistibly attractive, particularly in the evenings. While the science isn’t conclusive, some theories suggest that stress hormones and changes in the microbiome could be behind these cravings.
The Importance of Not Taking Ourselves Too Seriously
Drawing upon sage advice from his father, Dr. Ben eloquently spoke about the importance of taking our duties seriously but not ourselves. This perspective not only contributes to emotional well-being but also enhances our ability to deal with life’s ups and downs.
From insulin resistance to food cravings and life wisdom, this conversation had it all. To get the full experience, make sure to check out the episode [here](YouTube link). And remember, for more insights and tips on thriving, get your copy of “Thrive State” at thrivestatebook.com.
