Status Quo Thinking Is Harming Your Health: A Physician's Final Plea (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798989986101)

"In her final, groundbreaking work, Dr. Sarah Hallberg challenges the entrenched beliefs of modern medicine, urging readers to question the status quo for the sake of their health. This book is both a passionate plea and a testament to a life dedicated to healing. Published posthumously, this book serves as Hallberg's enduring legacy, calling for a radical shift in our approach to healthcare." Peter Attia, MD, Founder, Early Medical

"Sarah Hallberg leaves nothing on the table. This book is part heart-wrenching memoir, part indictment of our medical system, and a big part visionary road map for an enlightened healthcare system focused on the root causes of our chronic disease and diabetes epidemic. A must-read for anyone frustrated with our current medical paradigm and searching for a way of healing for us all." Mark Hyman, MD, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, Young Forever

Sarah Hallberg wanted to make a positive, lasting difference in her patients' lives. But when she collided with the chronically frustrating aspects of the American healthcare system - entrenched thinking, overreliance on meds, contentment to manage long-term conditions rather than seek root causes - she pursued a new way and found it. At the weight loss clinic she led in Lafayette, Indiana, she discovered that the standard approach - a low-fat diet = weight loss and good health - had zero scientific support. Dr. Hallberg's clinic adopted a model of a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. Her patients lost weight. Those who also suffered from diabetes saw their condition improve or "go away." Over the next several years, Dr. Hallberg and her team embarked on a journey to study the health effects of the low-carb diet; their pioneering research led to their most crucial finding: Diabetes need not simply be managed but can be reversed by diet. While battling terminal cancer, Dr. Hallberg wrote this crucial, inspiring account of how we can all eat better to live better and longer. As important, this book - her first and last - is a searing indictment of what happens when we leave status quo thinking unchallenged, and how it impacts quality of life for us and those we love.
