248. Lies I Taught In Medical School: What Dr. Robert Lufkin Says Women Over 50 Should Know About Metabolic Health

What if some of what we've been taught about weight loss, nutrition, chronic disease, and healthy aging is incomplete? In this Friday Extra Credit episode of FAT LOSS SCHOOL, Amy Bryan shares her CliffsNotes-style book report on Lies I Taught in Medical School by physician and medical professor Dr. Robert Lufkin. Lufkin challenges several conventional ideas about obesity and chronic disease and makes the case that metabolic health and insulin resistance deserve much more attention. Amy shares the biggest lessons she took from the book—including why “eat less and exercise more” doesn't tell the whole story, why strength training and maintaining muscle after 50 matter, and why our daily choices should be about far more than losing weight. You'll also hear about the important difference between lifespan and healthspan and why habits such as eating nutritious whole foods, prioritizing protein, strength training, walking and aerobic exercise, sleeping well, managing stress, and being intentional about when we eat can support our health as we age. The goal isn't simply to become smaller after menopause. It's to become stronger, healthier, more metabolically resilient, and better equipped to enjoy the decades ahead. 🎓 Your Friday Extra Credit homework: Ask yourself, “What am I doing today for my future healthspan?”  JOIN US in my free FAT LOSS SCHOOL Facebook Community here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fasterwaywithamybryan  JOIN US in my fabulous-over-fifty VIP Membership group here (discount code VIP2026): https://www.fasterway.com?aid=AMYBRYAN  EMAIL Amy Bryan here:  [email protected] ORDER today's book here:  https://link.amazon/B0aadRcLa
