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.
