The Importance of the Body Mass Index [BMI]

Posted on September 12, 2023 by admin

INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.

Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, welcomed Dr. John Poothullill to provide another commentary in a series.

The Dr. John Poothullil Commentaries

The body mass index is not applicable to medical conditions at the individual level. Therefore, the role of obesity in insulin resistance, diabetes, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) needs to be reevaluated.

During a meal, taste and smell receptors send signals to the control center in the brain to create the sensation of enjoyment. Reduced intensity of enjoyment is the signal to terminate the act of eating. Consuming foods that require little chewing or blended, pureed foods that require no chewing could lead to excess food intake, weight gain, and obesity.

Consider the body weight you had in your mid-20s as a close approximation of your authentic weight.

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 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.
