Episode #45 - Lies I taught in Medical School with Dr. Lufkin: Lifestyle, Diet, and Chronic Disease Reversal
Have you ever wondered about the long-held beliefs we take as gospel truth, especially when it comes to our health and wellness? The fascinating Dr. Lufkin, author of 'Lies I Taught in Medical School', joins us today to unravel some of these misconceptions. He shares his journey from being a staunch medical professor to his eye-opening realization that the evolution of medical knowledge can sometimes lead to misinformation being passed on in medical schools.
Dr. Lufkin's personal story of reversing his chronic diseases through lifestyle changes is a testament to the power of diet, sleep, exercise, and meaningful relationships. We discuss real-life examples from his family - his dietitian aunt who maintained a healthy weight throughout her life, his 83-year-old physically fit uncle, and his mother who lived to 97, all showing the profound impact of lifestyle on health. Our conversation takes a cultural twist as we compare the lifestyle differences between Puerto Rico and America and their effects on health.
We delve deeper into the power of lifestyle changes in preventing and reversing chronic diseases like Type 2 diabetes, using Dr. Lufkin's son's recovery as an example. We also explore the benefits of intermittent fasting and the tricky ways marketing can misrepresent the healthiness of food. As we discuss diet and lifestyle's importance in caring for those with Alzheimer's disease, Dr. Lufkin highlights the influence of the pharmaceutical industry and the need to address mental health when making dietary changes. Join us for this revealing conversation and broaden your understanding of health, wellness, and the lies we've been learning all along.
