    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!
