Lies I Taught in Medical School: How Conventional Medicine Is Making You Sicker and What You Can Do to Save Your Own Life by Robert LufkinMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book covers the medical lies that the author believed, taught, got sick from, and eventually began to question. Dr. Lufkin presents the truths that saved his life.
Your health depends on diet, genetics, environment, stress, sleep, toxins, and deficiencies. The book provides an overview of nutritional and lifestyle recommendations based on the latest scientific research. I highly recommend this book--it is chock full of practical advice you can implement to improve your own health.
10 lies covered: Metabolic Lie, Obesity Lie, Diabetes Lie, Fatty Liver Lie, Hypertension Lie, Cardiovascular Disease Lie, Cancer Lie, Alzheimer’s Lie, Mental Health Lie, Longevity Lie.
Dr. Lufkin shares his personal health journey and how he overcame obesity, high blood pressure, prediabetes, dangerous lipid profiles, and gout. For a book club study guide, visit the author’s website, www.robertlufkin.md.com/bookgift. It provides a great summary of each chapter with questions to reinforce the key concepts.
I found the first chapter a bit unclear, with three of the lies partially covered in the introduction. Sometimes the medical explanations can get very detailed and may not be easily understood by the average reader. The longevity lie chapter was my least favorite. The biohacking, promotions, and recommendations did not resonate with me.
