I research in diabetes and obesity and Ben provides great info in the clinic as well as down to the molecular level. It is tough to get all of the info you need from the literature and listening to these podcasts help me hone in on areas I need to learn more about.

Love this!!! Really relevant topics. Easy to understand; Dr Bikman breaks down complex issues well and takes time with explanations. Appreciate the variety and focus on insulin too. Nice voice and very easy to listen to- Thank you for putting this out in the world.
Haven’t listened to all yet but if nothing out there already -
Would love to hear about dietary recommendations for folks with 3/4 ApoE. Is a modified keto best? How does this compare to those with lipoprotein a? Don’t understand all of this but they seem to be risk factors that require more attention. Im diabetic and have been very successful on a keto diet but my cholesterol increased and I got nervous so stopped. Been searching for information on this and harder to find.
