BLOOM (TAMPA) – Practicing physician and bestselling author Dr. Robert Lufkin joined Gayle Guyardo, host of the globally syndicated health and wellness show Bloom, to discuss his groundbreaking book, “Lies I Taught in Medical School.”
Dr. Lufkin, a former full professor at both UCLA and USC medical schools, has authored more than 200 peer-reviewed studies and now leads a powerful movement to challenge long-held assumptions about modern medicine.
In his New York Times and USA Today bestselling book, Dr. Lufkin offers an insider’s look at how traditional medical training often overlooks the root causes of chronic disease, leading to treatment approaches that manage symptoms rather than promote true healing.
What’s Going Wrong in Medicine
According to Dr. Lufkin, our healthcare system has missed a critical connection:
- Most chronic diseases share common root causes related to metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, and lifestyle factors.
- Financial incentives and outdated practices often perpetuate ineffective treatment methods.
- Many chronic illnesses are preventable and even reversible through simple, science-based lifestyle changes.
A Doctor’s Personal Transformation
In a powerful twist, Dr. Lufkin shares how he personally reversed four chronic diseases by making specific changes in his nutrition, sleep, stress management, and exercise routine—proving that it’s never too late to take back control of your health.
The Book’s Mission
Through 12 illustrated chapters, Lies I Taught in Medical School arms readers with the knowledge and tools to:
- Identify early risk factors like inflammation and insulin resistance
- Improve brain and metabolic health
- Address obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease
- Safely reduce dependence on unnecessary medications
The Bigger Message
Dr. Lufkin’s work is both a wake-up call and a guide to reclaiming your well-being. His message is clear: modern medicine has made incredible advances, but real healing begins when we target the root cause — not just the symptoms.…
