AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Modern medicine is lying to you. Discover the true science behind chronic diseases—and implement an actionable plan to take control of 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 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 address these diseases in ourselves. He draws on expansive, peer-reviewed evidence, proving that standard medical recommendations are killing us.

Over the course of 12 illustrated chapters, Lies I Taught in Medical School chronicles how Dr. Lufkin corrected four chronic diseases in himself and expertly supplies the strategies needed to:

• Identify chronic disease risk factors, such as inflammation and insulin resistance
• Boost mental health via nutrition and lifestyle
• Improve diet and metabolism
• Attend to obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and 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.
