Based on Dr Lufkin’s experience as a full professor at both UCLA and USC medical schools. The book is a riveting, cautionary tale of how medicine has gotten things so wrong (and continues to) in several key areas:
-how chronic diseases are all linked by common root causes overlooked by our system.
-how financial incentives, simple human error, and other factors drive the soaring rates of chronic disease.
-how Dr. Lufkin was able to reverse these diseases in himself by changes in lifestyle that anyone can do.
The book provides detailed instructions on how to keep these errors from ruining your health.

” Keto is unsustainable as a diet”.

That is not my experience.

It’s been 4+ years for me on a keto diet.

Except, I don’t consider it a diet anymore.

It’s just the way I eat and I’ve grown to love it.

We just finished an editorial meeting with the publisher and they confirmed the June 2024 publication date- hurrah!!! We are going to be finalizing the figures as well as the text over the next 12 weeks to lock everything in around the first of the year.

You can download a free sample chapter of my book on my website, or even preorder a hardcopy if you'd like.

If you want to see a summary of all the chapters and some discussion questions, here is a free book club discussion guide. Let me know anything that we have left out or any other suggestions before we lock in the final version.
