Summary: Dr. John McDougall is a passionate physician, teacher, and rebel of the medical status quo. Did you know he suffered a massive stroke at the tender age of 18 which left him paralyzed on the left side of his body for 2 weeks and remains noticeably weakened even now? This experience led him into medicine and has practiced medicine as a board certified internal medicine physician for over 40 years. Dr. McDougall's discovery of nutrition and health began in the Big Island of Hawaii and you can learn more about his story and his incredible wealth of information at http://drmcdougall.com. His website was one of the few sites that I found to help me transition using food as medicine over 6 years ago. I am forever grateful for his pioneering effort, never ending passion and desire to speak the truth regardless of the consequences. We speak about his recent loss of his home and all of his possessions in the California fires in 2017 and the harrowing experience and starting over in your early 70s. We talk about the future of medicine from a war torn warrior perspective and the younger optimistic doctor (me). It was fascinating and such an honor to speak to one of my personal heroes. Many thousands of individuals have Dr. McDougall to thank for saving their lives with his starch solution. So now I give you Dr. McDougall.
