Lies I Taught in Medical School: And the Truths That Can Save Your Life by Robert Lufkin
informative
medium-paced
5.0
This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to take control of their health.
As someone with a medical background, I am truly impressed with this book. The explanations are clear, making it accessible and easy to understand for most readers.
"Lies I Taught in Medical School" is an eye-opener! Dr. Lufkin thoroughly explains how modern medicine has often missed the mark, particularly by failing to recognize that chronic diseases share common root causes that the medical system largely overlooks (or misunderstands).
This is a brave attempt: calling for a significant shift in how we approach health and disease. His critique of traditional medical practices, particularly chronic diseases, is enlightening and empowering, inspiring readers to question and rethink established norms. I only hoped there was a chapter on thyroid-related diseases as well, as we see that a lot in our practice.
I appreciate that Dr. Lufkin offers practical advice on how lifestyle factors such as nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress management can effectively target the underlying causes of chronic diseases.
Thank you NetGalley and BenBella Books for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
