Overview
Modern medicine is lying to you. Discover the true science behind chronic diseases--and implement an actionable plan to restore your health and longevity once and for all.
For the first time in history, chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity plague our population on a global scale. From a seasoned physician, this paradigm-shifting book comprehensively explains the linked cause of chronic diseases and exposes the misconceptions prevalent in modern medicine.
In Lies I Taught in Medical School, Robert Lufkin, MD, explains that metabolic dysfunction is the common underlying cause of most chronic diseases that has been overlooked for decades, providing the tools needed to prevent and reverse them in ourselves. He draws on expansive, peer-reviewed evidence, proving that standard medical recommendations are killing us.
Over the course of twelve illustrated chapters, Lies I Taught in Medical School chronicles how Dr. Lufkin reversed four chronic diseases in himself and expertly supplies the strategies needed to:
Reduce chronic disease risk factors, such as inflammation and insulin resistance
Stabilize mental health via nutrition and lifestyle
Improve diet and metabolism
Treat obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular and other common chronic diseases
Get off unnecessary medications, including many diabetes and hypertension drugs
What's more, Dr. Lufkin offers practical advice to show how lifestyle factors such as nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress management can target the fundamental cause of chronic diseases. Lies I Taught in Medical School is a revolutionary and holistic guide that will help you take control of your health--before it's too late.
Bonus features include a downloadable action plan for metabolic health and longevity, and a FREE membership in the Lies I Taught in Medical School online book club community.
