Lifestyle Diseases- Insights from Dr. John Poothullil

 

 

 

We’ve been misled about food for our entire lives, and it’s killing us. My guest today helps explain why that is, and how a couple of unproven theories from just a few medical professionals in the late 1960s have created an explosion in obesity and related diseases over the past fifty years.

If you’ve listened to this podcast before, then you know A Joyful Rebellion is all about getting more life out of life. It’s hard to do that if your health is compromised, so I’m excited for you to hear this conversation with Dr. John Poothulil. He goes by Dr. John and has written six books on subjects ranging from preventing and reversing type 2 diabetes to preventing and healing from cancer through the foods we eat, and more importantly, the foods we avoid.

The next hour is packed with info, so let’s get our science on!

 

 

 

In this episode of A Joyful Rebellion, the host interviews Dr. John, an expert, and author of six books on type 2 diabetes and cancer. Dr. John explains the historical context and medical missteps leading to the modern obesity and diabetes epidemics, focusing on the fallout from government grain subsidies and the reliance on unproven medical theories from the 1960s.

 

The discussion delves into the physiology of cholesterol, the flawed understanding of insulin resistance, and the impact of lifestyle choices on chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer. Dr. John emphasizes the importance of taking charge of personal health through diet variety, mindful eating, and questioning medical advice.
