About Us
Dr. McDougall Health & Medical Center educates people on how to reverse chronic illness, get off medications and regain lost health and appearance through the safety and efficacy of dietary therapy.
Dr. McDougall Health & Medical Center is founded by John and Mary McDougall, and led by Heather McDougall, CEO.
A physician and nutrition expert who teaches better health through a whole food, starch-based diet, John McDougall, MD has been studying, writing and speaking out about the effects of nutrition on disease for over 50 years. Dr. John and Mary McDougall believe that people should look and feel great for a lifetime. Unfortunately, many people unknowingly compromise their health through poor dietary habits.
Dr. McDougall is the founder of the nationally renowned McDougall Program: a ten-day residential program in Santa Rosa, California where medical miracles occur through diet and lifestyle changes. In addition to her formal training as a nurse, Mary McDougall provides many of the delicious recipes that make the McDougall Program not only possible, but also a pleasure. Dr. McDougall has cared for thousands of patients for five decades. His program not only promotes a broad range of dramatic and lasting health benefits but, most importantly, can also reverse serious illnesses including high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and others, all without the use of drugs.
A graduate of Michigan State University’s College of Human Medicine, Dr. McDougall performed his internship at Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, and his medical residency at the University of Hawaii. He is certified as an internist by the Board of Internal Medicine and the National Board of Medical Examiners. He and Mary are the authors of several nationally best-selling books such as The Starch Solution, as well as the co-founders of Dr. McDougall’s Right Foods, which produces high quality vegetarian cuisine to make it easier and convenient for people to eat well.
With the changing times, John, Mary and Heather McDougall are pleased to bring the McDougall Program to the comfort of your home with 12-Days to Dynamic Health.
