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 Lufkin MD

Narrated by: Jim Meskimen

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Bold new perspectives

I am impressed by the truths and lies explained by the author; all very eye opening. I hate how it reads like an infomercial or a soap opera (more about this in the next chapter). And when he does get to some final answers, after spending the whole book backing his reasoning with good scientific evidence, he fails us by justifying his extreme recommendations by saying essentially, "It works for me and so it should work for you." I'm sorry that's only anecdotal evidence or a study based on a population of n=1. And for as much as he accused the medical industry of being financially biased, his final recommendations seem to be very biased towards things that he promotes. Almost seems like he's got something to gain from several of them.

As negative as this review may seem, the book really did present a lot of good information and will make you rethink how you eat and what real or fake benefits (or harm) there may be to the medicines you take.

Food for thought

This is better and more sane sounding than the last book on health by a medical doctor that I listened to. aThos os convincing and doable.

Common sense explanation of metabolism

This is probably one of the most important books I’ve ever read. The explanation of how foods effect metabolism and insulin production/resistance was logical and eye opening. I have already bought the book for both my kids, son in law and wife. I’ve been involved in coaching and conditioning teenagers for about 30 years and I had been growing increasingly sad regarding the average shape kids were in when they came to me. This book gives me hope that perhaps we can start to swing the pendulum back in the other direction…thanks Dr. Lufkin

PDF not following the spoken Text

I have been listening to the audio book, and following along within the PDF, but the PDF does not follow or have all the information that is being spoken in the audio book. If it is intended, a disappointment.

Worth reading twice. Is a keeper.

Easy to understand and implement changes you may need. Great information and knowledge to keep yourself healthy.

Easy to follow

This is great! Improve your health without medicine and get off the medicines you are taking by simply reading this book!

Recognition from another pro that our health system is broken and the leaders are not looking for real fixes.

I liked the entire book, which took a perspective with outside the box problem solving and lots of research. Being an ANP with 40 years of CV experience who has developed multiple health issues despite having what I thought was a healthy lifestyle his advice was confirmative and thought provoking

The truth about medicine

I enjoyed every minute of it. Amazing how many lies we are told. Big pharmaceutical is evil.

Lies I taught in medical

Love this book! Highly recommend, very informative and enjoyed reading. I will read it again with a yellow highlighter.

Practical and common sense

I thought this was a practical common sense approach to better health and easy for a person to digest and then apply in one’s life. Well done I highly recommend it
