Looking Beyond the Dogma, Headlines and Agendas: Focusing on Science-Based Truths
Feb 16, 2025
The world is waking up.
For too long, the conversation around metabolic health has been dominated by sensational headlines, half-truths, and industry-driven agendas. Many people—perhaps even you—have sensed that something wasn’t adding up. Despite doing everything “by the book,” people have not become healthier. Despite decades of advice pushing people toward low-fat, high-carb diets, metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes, obesity, and what we refer to as the “plagues of prosperity” continue to skyrocket:
Thankfully, the tide is turning.
Over the last few weeks, Dr. Bikman has had the privilege of sharing evidence-based metabolic science on three major platforms that are helping spread the truth to millions.
In their posts this week, each of the following three hosts played a critical role in amplifying Ben’s message, asking the right questions, and genuinely wanting to bring real science to their audiences. We’re incredibly grateful for their willingness to explore the data, not just the dogma.
Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett
With hundreds of thousands of views in the first few days, this episode resonated deeply as Ben broke down the importance of insulin, the dangers of ultra-processed foods, and the shocking truth about modern dietary recommendations.
Jordan B. Peterson
Dr. Peterson’s rigorous, no-nonsense approach to exploring critical issues made this an exceptional discussion about insulin resistance, the failures of mainstream nutritional guidelines, and what we can do to fix our metabolic health.
The Tyna Moore Show
Dr. Moore’s platform is dedicated to deep, meaningful conversations in health, and she gave Ben the space to explain what the latest research really says—and doesn’t say—about fat loss, fasting, and long-term metabolic health.
A Commitment to Evidence, Not Clickbait
It’s no secret that much of today’s health advice is driven by clicks, not facts. Many recommendations rely on weak epidemiological studies that are great for making headlines but nearly always fail under scientific scrutiny. Correlation is not causation—but that distinction is often ignored when convenient.
Dr. Bikman’s work is built on rigorous, mechanistic research, not sensationalist narratives. His mission is to cut through the noise and present metabolic health information that people can actually use to improve their lives.
If you’re tired of being misled, if you’re ready to separate fact from fiction, and if you’re ready to promote real change that actually helps our world’s health, share the messages above with those who need to hear the truth. The more people who understand how insulin resistance impacts nearly every aspect of health, the more momentum we build toward meaningful change.
The truth is spreading. And, it’s about time.
