In this eye-opening episode of the Freedom and Prosperity Podcast, host Desi Arnaz sits down with Dr. John Poothullil, physician, researcher, and author of Diabetes: The Real Cause and the Right Cure. Dr. John challenges everything we think we know about hunger, nutrition, and chronic illness.
From the way our brains sense hunger, to how modern diets built on grain and processed foods are fueling an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and even dementia — Dr. John explains it all in simple, relatable terms. His insights will make you rethink not just what you eat, but why you eat.
Key takeaways from this episode include:
- Why most people eat on schedule — not when they’re truly hungry.
- How your taste buds communicate with your brain to regulate nutrition.
- The surprising truth about carbohydrates and blood sugar.
- Why insulin can lower blood sugar but still lead to heart disease.
- The real link between processed grains, weight gain, and diabetes.
- How to eat the way your body was designed to — for health, not habit.
Dr. John’s research offers a revolutionary yet practical approach to preventing and even reversing type 2 diabetes — not with medication, but by listening to your body’s natural signals and returning to the foods we were meant to eat.
