Guests don’t get as accomplished and credentials as Dr Robert Lufkin, a physician and medical school professor of the highest calibre with over 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers. And then he wrote a book about the lies he HIMSELF was teaching in medical school. I believe this is one of the most important books I have ever read, and that Dr Lufkin himself is one of the greatest health heroes speaking truth despite the personal consequences. That’s why it was a true privilege to have him on the show and unpack the lies he was telling at medical school. Robert Lufkin, MD is a physician and medical school professor at both UCLA and USC. New York Times bestselling author dedicated to helping people reclaim their metabolic health through lifestyle and other evidence-based tools. A frequent guest on the Today Show, USA Today, FOX, and other major news outlets, his weekly video podcast reaches over 500,000 viewers. After reversing his own chronic disease, Dr. Lufkin has made it his mission to empower others to do the same. His latest book, Lies I Taught in Medical School, quickly became a New York Times bestseller and has reshaped the public conversation around metabolic health and longevity. In addition to his clinical work, he has authored over 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers and 14 books, published in fourteen languages.

Join us as we explore:

  • Why western or allopathic medicine is losing the battle against obesity, diabetes, strokes, heart attacks, cancer, Alzheimer’s and mental illness
  • Why being diagnosed with four of the main chronic diseases and then reversing them with a few simple lifestyle changes left Dr Lufkin understanding he was “trusting the science that couldn’t be trusted” and that he was teaching lies as a medical school professor.
  • Which lie Dr Lufkin believes is the most egregious and harmful still being told by the official medical institutions.
  • Why going to your doctor is not the person who is going to make you healthy, but AI could be.
  • The debate around lipid health and markers like apolipoB.
  • Why despite writing a book about the abundance of untruths in medicine Dr Lufkin is more optimistic about the future than he’s ever been.
