In Loving Memory of Dr. John McDougall
Dr. John McDougall, our founder and fearless pioneer, passed away peacefully at home at age 77 on June 22, 2024. A stroke at 18 set him on a path to transform healthcare and empower people worldwide to heal through a simple, evidence-based, starch-based diet.
Dr. McDougall lived fully and taught us to do the same — with adventure, love and a deep commitment to helping others live their healthiest, happiest lives.
His loss is deeply felt, but his mission lives on stronger than ever. Thanks to this incredible community and our dedicated team, we continue to expand his message in new and meaningful ways, always grounded in his core principles.
We ask you to honor him by continuing to live healthfully, love each other and be kind to the environment and the animals who share it. We promise to carry this work forward with the same passion and integrity he did.
We’re not done yet.

The McDougall Program is based on the concept of the Starch Solution, an innovative dietary approach that harnesses the benefits of eating whole-food, plant-based sources of complex carbohydrates. Throughout the program, participants learn to embrace a sustainable and nourishing diet centered around wholesome starch sources, including nutrient-rich grains, legumes and fruits.
The immersive 12-day program includes personalized care, live lectures, expert guidance and unwavering support. Engage in private one-on-one appointments and learn from lectures by renowned health professionals hand-picked and personally trained by Dr. McDougall. Beyond the 12-day mark, the McDougall Program offers additional weekly, then monthly check-ins for one full year following your completion.
