Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life's Best Medicine. Dr. Robert Lufkin is a physician/medical school professor (UCLA and USC) focusing on the applied science of health, longevity, and consciousness.

His latest book "Lies I Taught In Medical School" has just been released.

In this episode, Brian and Robert talk about how social life, sleep, and stress contribute to metabolic health and weight, why there is still so much resistance to the low-carb diet as a treatment for metabolic disease, the politicization of nutrition information and education, why the focus of medicine needs to shift to prevention, the power of community for achieving health goals and sticking to lifestyle changes, the interconnectedness of so many different diseases, and developments in the field of longevity.
