Summary
Dr Marcus Hawkins, a New Zealand GP (BM BS, FRNZCGP), presents a comprehensive case that insulin resistance—primarily triggered by excessive carbohydrate intake—is the underlying cause of multiple chronic conditions. The book synthesizes peer reviewed research, clinical trials, and real world audits from New Zealand primary care.
Key Themes
• Carbohydrates as the root cause of metabolic disease, challenging decades of low fat dietary guidelines.
• Insulin resistance as the common mechanism linking type 2 diabetes, obesity, fatty liver disease, cardiovascular disease, PCOS, and more.
• Clinical evidence, including RCTs, systematic reviews, and multi site New Zealand studies (including Māori health providers).
• Patient stories illustrating real world reversals of diabetes, weight loss, and metabolic improvements.
• Māori and Pacific health, focusing on dietary displacement rather than genetics as the driver of disproportionate disease burden.
• Practical guidance on starting and sustaining therapeutic carbohydrate reduction.
