Dr. John on “Behind the Story Show” Podcast!

Dr. John Poothullil is a guest on "Behind the Story" Podcast!

I was a guest on Behind the Story Show Podcast hosted by Jelani. We talked about the difference between treating a number and treating a person and why understanding your own hunger might matter more than any prescription.

We discuss the “fatty acid burn switch” — an alternative explanation for Type 2 diabetes that challenges the textbook theory of insulin resistance — and the personal story that radicalized my skepticism of mainstream treatment: a relative whose husband, a medical professor, kept her blood sugar perfectly controlled with insulin for years, only for her to lose a limb anyway.

We also get into why “blood sugar” and “table sugar” are not the same thing, how grain-based carbohydrates became the hidden driver of the obesity epidemic, whether low-carb eating can help starve cancer cells, and what’s really happening in your body on GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Zepbound — including the question I say almost nobody asks before starting one.

Your transformation starts now!
