Award-winning author and nationally syndicated health expert, Dr. John Poothullill, practiced medicine as a pediatrician and allergist for more than 30 years, with 27 of those years in the state of Texas. 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, Dr. 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 him 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.
This led to the publication of Dr. John's first two books, Eat Chew Live and Diabetes: The Real Cure and The Right Cause. His own diagnosis of cancer inspired him to write Surviving Cancer and When Your Child Has Cancer. Prompted by the COVID-19 response, he published Your Health Is At Risk, speaking to the vast amounts of disinformation, misinformation, and missing information that is available, especially in regard to lifestyle diseases, and how to discern fact from fiction. This title has won two gold medals in the IPPY and Nautilus Awards in 2023.
His sixth publication will be available in Fall 2023: The Diabetes-Free Cookbook & Exercise Guide: 80 Utterly Delicious Recipes & 12 Easy Exercises To Keep Your Blood Sugar Low.
He would love to include co-author, Chef Colleen Cackowski, a Certified Nutritionist, in the interview. She has trained at the world-famous Living Light Culinary Institute, the world’s premier raw food culinary school, as Executive Assistant to the Director. Chef Colleen has partnered with many chefs, nutritionists, and healers to integrate optimal nutrition and wellness into peoples’ diets and health regimens. As the “Resident Superfood Chef ” for David Wolfe’s Longevity Now® Conferences, and with Jing Herbs, she created and published hundreds of superfood and herbal recipes to support health, beauty, and longevity. She has worked with many top names in the health industry, winning awards for her recipes.
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.
