The Dr. John Poothullil Commentaries
On a recent Price of Business show, Host Kevin Price interviewed Dr. John Poothullil.
In this Price of Business audio interview, “Staying Healthy with Dr. John Poothullil,” Dr. John speaks with Lori, a longtime professional in the catering industry who discovered his cookbook in an unexpected way.
After leaving a copy in a guest room, Lori noticed that guests began purchasing their own—prompting her to take a closer look herself. What she found led to meaningful changes in her diet, including incorporating more beans, sweet potatoes, and soups.
As a result, Lori has lost 20 pounds, and her health markers are steadily improving.
In the conversation, Dr. John discusses practical strategies for portion control and sustainable eating habits. Lori shares that while she has generally eaten healthy throughout her life, these adjustments felt manageable—with one exception: her love of bread.
This engaging discussion highlights how simple, consistent dietary changes can lead to significant health improvements.
John Poothullil practiced medicine as a pediatrician and allergist for more than 30 years, with 27 of those years in the state of Texas. He received his medical degree from the University of Kerala, India in 1968, after which he did two years of medical residency in Washington, DC and Phoenix, AZ and two years of fellowship, one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the other in Ontario, Canada. He began his practice in 1974 and retired in 2008. He holds certifications from the American Board of Pediatrics, The American Board of Allergy & Immunology, and the Canadian Board of Pediatrics.During his medical practice, John became interested in understanding the causes of and interconnections between hunger, satiation, and weight gain. His interest turned into a passion and a multi-decade personal study and research project that led him to read many medical journal articles, medical textbooks, and other scholarly works in biology, biochemistry, physiology, endocrinology, and cellular metabolic functions. This eventually guided Dr. Poothullil to investigate the theory of insulin resistance as it relates to diabetes. Recognizing that this theory was illogical, he spent a few years rethinking the biology behind high blood sugar and finally developed the fatty acid burn switch as the real cause of diabetes.Dr. Poothullil has written articles on hunger and satiation, weight loss, diabetes, and the senses of taste and smell. His articles have been published in medical journals such as Physiology and Behavior, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, Journal of Women’s Health, Journal of Applied Research, Nutrition, and Nutritional Neuroscience. His work has been quoted in Woman’s Day, Fitness, Red Book and Woman’s World.Dr. Poothullil resides in Portland, OR and is available for phone and live interviews.To learn more buy the books at: amazon.com/author/drjohnpoothullil
