Flip the Script: Make Insulin Your First Marker
from Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most Chronic Disease―and How to Fight It by Benjamin Bikman
How to Apply This
-
Request fasting insulin with your next checkup. Most standard panels skip this—so specifically request it. A normal fasting glucose doesn't always mean your metabolism is healthy.
-
Learn to interpret basic insulin and HOMA-IR scores. Use online guides or resources to find your HOMA score. If unclear, ask your doctor to explain what your result means.
-
Track changes before symptoms appear. Repeat testing annually or after major habit changes—even if you feel fine. Early warning lets you act long before chronic disease develops.
