About This Podcast

The health advice you're getting isn't working. Want to know what the experts actually do for themselves? 

Health Longevity Secrets reveals the real science behind longevity, metabolic health, fasting, and disease reversal—the protocols that researchers and physicians use in their own lives, not just what they tell patients. 

Robert Lufkin MD is a medical school professor, practicing physician, and New York Times bestselling author. After reversing his own chronic disease through lifestyle medicine, he's on a mission to share what actually works. 

Each episode features in-depth interviews with world-class scientists, doctors, and biohackers who share their personal health strategies—no sponsored talking points, just real answers. 

Your health transformation starts here.
