For nearly 5 years I have been singing the praises of Dr. John McDougall. Following a heart attack in 2010, I had a "great awakening" to the extraordinary healing benefits of Plant-Based eating. With the guidance of Dr. McDougall's exceptional books and outstanding website I have been able to navigate through the maze of nutrition and health misinformation coming from popular media as well as from ill-informed medical professionals. I have turned to Dr. McDougall and to a number of his colleagues in Lifestyle Medicine (Barnard, Campbell, Esselstyn, Greger, and Ornish) to disentangle evidence-based science and medical truth from current myth, lies, and ignorance.
Now I have the privilege to spend 10 days with Dr. McDougall and his wife Mary at their HEALTH AND MEDICAL CENTER in Santa Rosa, California. There I look forward to lectures and consultations with the McDougalls and other professionals on their staff. Sumptuous oil-free Plant-Based dining is at the core of their program, so I have high expectations! I plan to share experiences and learnings, even recipes, through frequent posts to this Blog. You can get a sneak peak by checking out the 10-DAY PROGRAM at drmcdougall.com. Then follow my posts from DR. MCDOUGALL'S HEALTH & MEDICAL CENTER between September 18 and September 27.
