Employee Immersion Program

Sick Employees Cost your Company Money

If you want your company to succeed, watch the following 14-minute documentary and then share this vital message with your coworkers, your company’s management and your human resources department. You can make a difference for yourself and for your company.


Average health care costs per employee in the U.S. have now reached more than $11,000 a year. In response, 43% of employers now offer incentives to encourage participation in “biometric screenings” (checking blood pressure, weight, cholesterol, tobacco use, etc.) and 30% offer incentives to engage in healthy lifestyle activities in the workplace.

The McDougall Immersion Live-In Program has been teaching employees to live healthy, productive lives – and contribute to more productive workforces – for over 20 years.

CenturyLink Whole Foods Market


Advanced Study Weekend Interview with John Mackey

John Mackey, co-Founder & co-CEO of Whole Foods Market recently spoke at Dr. John & Mary McDougall’s Advanced Study Weekend in Santa Rosa, CA.


John Mackey, Whole Foods CEO, On The Secret To Eating Healthy


Cut your Healthcare Costs in Half

Between 1999 and 2001 the McDougall Immersion Program was applied to three separate groups of employees at Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Minnesota. During this time we studied the participants and documented a reduction in blood pressure, body weight (17%), and cholesterol levels (8%) over a one-year period. Medication usage was also reduced or eliminated. The medical benefits of these results are extraordinary and they all translate to lower health care costs. The claims data from Blue Cross/Blue Shield documents an average reduction in costs of 44% for each of the three groups.

In 2010 we began McDougall Immersion Programs for the employees of Whole Foods Markets. Two years later, at one of our Advanced Study Weekends, John Mackey (the co-founder and CEO of Whole Foods) reported substantial savings for his company. He was so impressed with the results that he predicts global acceptance of programs like these in the coming years.

Now is the time. Here is an opportunity to help your company achieve greatness.

Forbes Magazine, June 6, 2018

Since 2015, CenturyLink has put 300 employees through the program and seen beneficial results for both staff and the company. "The overall health costs associated with those who have participated in the program have decreased by approximately 32% and we’ve seen positive improvements in at least seven of the eight traditionally-measured biometrics," says Molzen. "We’re proud to report that of the last group of employees, 99% said they’ve made health-related or lifestyle changes since participating in the program. In addition, it was great for the company by creating a 1:7:1 ROI."
