What if some of the most common assumptions about hunger, weight gain, and chronic disease are missing a critical piece of the puzzle? On this episode of the Power of After Show, I'm joined by Dr. John Poothullil for a thought-provoking conversation about hunger signals, metabolic health, and the body's natural ability to regulate itself. Together, we'll explore why obesity, diabetes, and even cancer continue to rise despite decades of conventional health advice, and we'll discuss practical alternatives that challenge mainstream thinking. Whether you're looking to improve your health, understand your body's signals more clearly, or simply hear a different perspective on some of today's biggest health challenges, this episode will encourage you to think deeper about the connection between hunger, nutrition, and long-term wellness.
