Dr. John McDougall - Health and Healing on a Starch-Based Diet

- This episode originally aired July 7, 2022. We reshare it today as a tribute to his work and legacy.
Dr. John McDougall was drawn to medicine because of his own health “fate.” At 18, he suffered a massive stroke and was an anomaly to the doctors in Michigan who wanted to explore “why” and “how” this could happen to someone so young.
This health scare inspired his own journey to become a doctor, which eventually led McDougall and his wife, Mary, to Hawaii to practice medicine on a sugar plantation in Hawaii and service over 5,000 residents. What he saw there changed the course of his medical practice forever.
The healthiest people on the island, the first-generation elders who had come from China, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines, were the healthiest and most vibrant people…still active, with no medications, and still in bodies fit for movement. It was their children and grandchildren, however, those second and third generations, that were struggling.
Why? They had adopted a western diet of meat, dairy, and processed foods.
The secret, Dr. McDougall discovered, was STARCH. Those healthy islanders subsisted on a diet comprised mostly of rice, potatoes, vegetables, and fruits and THAT inspired the work he does today through his McDougall programs and education.
Beyond diet, the McDougalls are also dedicated to informing citizens about the positive effects of dietary therapy on chronic disease and our Planet. Animal agriculture, as we’re learning, is also one of the main culprits contributing to climate change and we discuss all of his “four deadly dietary deceptions” outlined at mcdougallfoundation.org (www.mcdougallfoundation.org/) .
It’s an inspiring conversation from one of the legends and it was an honor to sit down with Dr. John McDougall.

Thanks for honoring Dr Mcdougall. I was disappointed that not many were addressing his passing. He helped so many people and deserves the tribute. May he rest in peace and live on in our hearts. He did so much on earth. God must have decided his work here on earth is done and said come on home John. ❤ My condolences to his friends, family and our plant based community, we lost a good one.
I've been seeing at lot on RUclips addressing this ❤
Dr. Barnard, Chef AJ, Dr. Doug Lisle and T Colin Campbell I’ve seen honour him and I’m sure others have and will as well. ❤
Those saying he died too young… remember, he lived decades longer than he was supposed to. It’s a testament to his research into nutrition and longevity.
Thank you for honoring a giant who saved my life and my husband's life many years ago. A huge loss for his family and for all of us!
Doctor Mcdougall changed my life… reading starch solution completely changed my approach to plant based eating and made it possible for me to be healthy. I will always identify as a Mcdougaller, a starchitarian, a vegan in John’s shadow. It brings me so much sorrow that he has passed, let us all do him the biggest honor and continue to share his message with the world. ❤🌎
I had no idea Dr McDougall lived in Santa Rosa when the Tubbs fire happened. I also live in Santa Rosa and my family also lost their home in 2017. Today it's close to 100 and will be in the high 90s and low 100s for the next 6 days. I've lived here for 50 years and the temperatures continue to get warmer and warmer every year. This is a very heavy animal agriculture area. It saddens me every day to see that nothing has changed here since the fires. No real education as to how to prevent such catastrophes in the future. The majority of citizens here are pro animal agriculture even after experiencing horrific devastating fires and rising temps. Dr. McDougall said it, it feels hopeless because of human inertia. I'm grateful for the strong willed individuals like Dr. McDougall who never gave up. He was a gift and his legacy will continue on. Thank you Rip for replaying this conversation.🙏
Thank you so much for honoring Dr McDougal. His legacy will live on. He will be missed
Dear Doc,
I work in the ICU and have seen the consequences of the standard American diet for many years. I’ve shared your teachings to many patients /families over the years. Thank you for empowering so many people and showing us how to take control of our health. I love you and miss you so much already 💔
Nice things to say about Dr. McDougall. Keep up with your good work. I retired as a nurse in 2019.
@@annemccarron2281 and thank you for your years of service too :)
Dr. McDougall helped me save my life. I weighed 283 pounds the day I checked out the starch solution from my local library. FEB. 14th 2019.... I now weigh 145 lbs and feel GREAT ! I made carrot cake last night ....from forks over knives.... or my Engine 2 book ....
Such a great loss! Dr McDougall changed my life. May he rest in peace and may his legacy live on ... Thank you Rip 🙏 ❤
Prayers for his family and friends. A life well lived who changed the lives of thousands for the better and will continue to in the future. He will never be forgotten. 🌻
RIP Dr McDougall. So many are rich from selling lies. Dr. McDougall told the truth to the very end. I found him Seven years ago and am now a thin, healthy senior with no need for meds.
What a touching conversation. What an absolute legend. A courageous heart warrior. So determined and sincere. RIP Dr. Mcdougall. What a loss. The world is so much better off because he was here.
What a wonderful tribute to John MacDougall who is a legend.
I've had an eating disorder since I was 15. Dr. McDougal's starch diet helped me feel satiated while eating healthy. I can't tell you how much this helped me & balanced me.
Same here.
The diet helped heal my gut, helped me retain nutrition and maintain a healthy weight for almost a decade now.
It is amazing that when we start eating starches the other binging disappears
@@lorenzafeitosaI've always loved starches. However, I did not find Dr. McDougall until about a year ago. I've lost about 10 pounds - I was never over weight, but am trying to get down to 110 for my 5'4" frame.
@@ItsunclegabbyI want to heal my gut -what were you eating on his diet to help you ? Did you give up salads or raw veggies or even cooked crucifrrous ?
Dr. John McDougall certainly won't be forgotten by me. He's my health Guru. The basic truth of eating simple foods like Starch is very important. Eat your vegetables and rice people. :) I hope everyone remembers John's heroes: Nathan Pritikin, Walter Kempner and the fiber guy Dr. Burkitt. I think there's one or two more but I don't remember!
Roy Swank
Lovely tribute to Dr. McDougall. RIP, Dr. McDougall.
Thank you, Rip, for honoring such a pillar in the whole food plant based movement. Without John McDougall, many would not last as one needs those starches to stay satiated. Great and timely interview as he will truly be missed. Sincere condolences to his family and friends.
Thank you, Rip. Dr. McDougall changed my life.
Thanks for offering valued n unique tributes to my Guru.
Wow .
What a shock
R.I.P. Dr John mcdougal.
May your legacy live on and continue to save lives. 😥
Not shocking at all
I don’t follow Dr. McDougall’s protocol, I do consume meat, fish, poultry EVOO etc., but as a human being I recognize that he was an important figure in the WFPB community. Many people have been helped and lives have been transformed as a result of his teachings. May his legacy live on and regardless of what diet/lifestyle protocol you follow may we all continue to be respectful in our journey towards good health 🙏🏼
A wonderful Doctor and teacher. Such passion and drive. Always working for us. A true leader and guru.
Thank you for honoring John. He has saved so many lives and I am one.
Thank you Rip and Plant Strong for a wonderful tribute to Dr. John McDougall.
Thank you Rip Esselstyn for such a lovely tribute to Dr John McDougall.
Dr McDougall said he stood on the shoulders of Giants, now he is the Giant whose shoulders we stand on. What a beautiful productive meaningful wonderful life he lived. Thank heaven he left us teachings that will benefit future generations. Never forget, “It’s The Food!!!”
God broke the mold when he/she made this man. He changed our lives for the better. My husband and I are so grateful to him.
Dr. McDougall is my hero and I will forever be grateful to him for changing my life over 10 years ago! I will truly miss watching him as I have for so long. Much love and sympathy goes out to his wife Mary and family. He was a very special man who cared so deeply for helping people to be well. Thank you Dr. McDougall!!!❤❤❤
Thank you Rip! How lucky that you had this interview last year!
Thank you for this Tribute to a great Man!
Thank you for honoring him. I was shocked to hear of his passing. We were blessed to have him advocating for healthy eating in our lifetime.
Rip, what a lovely interview. I am so grateful that you got to tell John just how important he has been but to all of us. Thank you.
One important quote missing: The truth don't change. :)
Wonderful guy and helped me a lot. I've been vegan and mostly whole plant for 8+ years based partly because of his book "The Starch Solution". RIP Dr. McDougall.
Thank you, Rip. Dr. McDougall changed my life. He's my health Guru.
Amazing tribute to him. Such a huge loss and shock.x
Thank you for this podcast Rip. Dr. McDougall had a profound influence on my life, and I appreciate being able to grieve with the larger community.
Thanks 🙏🏿 for the interview I do appreciate it. Love the McDougall family.Dr McDougall has helped me on my journey to Vegan his food recipes and strange talks makes it easy u I and will be missed.Was waiting to hear from u after father’s day O how u will be missed.Ms Mary and children thanks for sharing doctor with us and u all I and will continue to be in my prayers 🙌🙏🏿🧎♂️➡️
He was the best and will be greatly missed. ❤
You'll be much missed. 😭
changed my life too, RIP Dr
I will be eternally grateful to the McDougall's for giving my family the strength to resist the conventional thinking. My college age daughters quote Dr McDougall in their presentations about climate change!!! Who would have predicted that? With Dr John's passing, the Lord is sending us a message for which we are not ready to comprehend. In due time, Dr. John. May you have patience in heaven while we mortals struggle.
I love you, Dr. McDougall!
Yes, you’re one of the few who have helped me return to health !!!
❤❤❤
Wow, heard Dr. John's message so many times and it never gets old. Thank you so much for sharing this and for the work you and your family do!!!
He championed such an effective plan for good health which I just discovered this year and it produced outstanding results for me. Thank you Dr McDougall. I will be forever grateful!!! Well Done!!!
What a great interview and we love and admire Dr. McDougall and you and your family as well. We are crushed we lost Dr. McDougall! Thanks for this!
Thanks for sharing the Interview again.
Thank you for this episode and honouring Dr. McDougall 🙏🏻 the news of his passing was just such a big shock and his voice is always in my head . Thank you for putting his favourite sayings here on your channel and thank you for sharing the interview that you had with him while ago . I hope he knew how loved and respected he was by this community 🙏🏻💖💖
Thank you for this tribute to John McDougall.❤
Rip, THANK YOU. Your summary of some of his greatest phrases is precious. Some people may not understand how hard the housefire and fall must have been on Dr. McDougall, and on his loved ones.
Thank you, Rip. ❤️ Love to all of you.
That wonderful interview, we've lost the Godfather of nutrition.
Wow what a great interview!! I listened when this originally aired but it hit a little different this time. Thank you so much Rip for this amazing conversation!!
I am so grateful for all the pioneers in this space! 🙏🏾
Well said Rip.
Shocked many prayers
I’m so heartbroken. Praying for his family ❤️🩹
Awesome interview and show. Thanks so much and R.i.p johnxxx
Thank you for this beautiful tribute to a pioneer of Love ❤
John had a great and rich life with a great family and friends, even if he as a young adult suffered some injuries. He was able to turn things around and prolonged his life a lot due to healthy foods. It’s not how many years you live, it’s the life quality and health during the years that you get that is the only thing that counts. Here John is a winner. Living another 10 or 20 years with poor health is not an option.
His interview with Pritikin is my all time favourite thing on yt.
McDougall hero was Nathan Pritikin a man with no MD or Ph.D and zero credentials in any health or medical field who wrecked his health. Would you get dental work done by someone with no credentials, no experience and no license in anything related to dentistry? Dr. Bessie Delany age 104, the second African American woman licensed to practice dentistry in New York State would never approve of a starch based diet since she saw first hand for decades what consuming a fad diet would do to wreck your health and teeth.
Love dr Mcdougall, such a amazing man with wonderful soul, Im from Brasil and he taught me so much. I loved his personality and the way he said the truth, the truth was always the truth, he helped so many people, the nature and the animals.
It was time to go back, he came, he completed his mission and it was time for him to go back to the place he belongs, with superior spirits up above, his legacy is huge and he has done his work, he passed away just the way everybody wants to . Peacefully in his sleep. My condolences to the family and close friends
Sending all my love to him, the family that joined him in this journey.
RIP TO THE GREATEST DOCTOR
Like many, I am filled with sorrow over the premature passing of a giant, perhaps one of the initial 'foragers', to build this _fringe_ community of whole food plant-based folks who have adopted this dietary regimen - our natural human diet based upon our easily recognizable biology. Some know what Dr. John meant when he said: "The fat you eat is the fat you wear". However, of the 10 sayings mentioned here, Rip, that is not fully accurate. There are loads of good fats if eaten moderately such as nuts, seeds, *whole* coconut, and avocado. Blessings for what you, and your family, have done and keep doing.
Dr. McDougall also said that most people can't do moderation, though, and was critical towards eating nuts. I vividly remember him saying there was a reason they came in a hard shell, and that the coconut had the hardest shell of them all.
@@rabeascholz1390 True, John said that; however, in the saying, truth is not found. I shouldn't work white oak and lignum vitae as a woodworker, because they're so hard; I should stick to pine and spruce. HUH!? We're also told by others, that squirrels bury their nuts so as to ferment them. Yeah and some turn into trees. Good science is peer-reviewed, not anecdotal and not stated by experts, the lowest on the gold-standard rung. Didn't we all have 'nuff of that during the past 4 years?! No one person however well-intentioned, is the sole repository of truth. To follow anyone as hero, and I am not saying anything negative about John, as I have followed him for 15 years diligently, is to as Sadghuru states, "To concretize something you likely no little 'bout".
I wouldn't eat coconut - so much saturated fat and fat in general. Jeff from VegSource has great videos on nuts.
@@MartinVran There is a difference between coconut oil, coconut cream and coconut milk VS whole coconut in small amounts, shredded, grated or flour. Yes, it is a saturated fat. There has been no studies I am aware of that definitively state: *stay away.* in any form.
@@jageo48 Yes, Im aware of the big difference between parts and processing of coconut, but I still agree more with this video with Rip on coconut. ruclips.net/user/livenoRGbM1GnCU?feature=shared Defatted coconut flour might be about OK, but I'm not into processing food, but it looks less bad to me than fat coconut meat(even though other parts of coconut are even lot more fat).
Thank you for honoring him!😊❤
I’m very sorry for the loss of your friend Dr Mcdougall.
Thanks for this!❤️
This is an awesome interview that covers everything. Thank you so much for sharing it!
Loved him and love you. You are his predecessor ❤
So sorry to hear that my deepest condolences to the family. 🥲🙏Such a great Doctor I love his book and love watching Abdul listen to his podcast videos.❤️👏👏
Dr. John McDougall lost his home, his cat and all of his possessions during the Californian wildfires in 2017 and had an unlucky accident sometime in 2015 where he broke his hip. I don't think he fully recovered from that. His May 2016 Newsletter on his website has details on his accident, while his facebook post from October 12. 2017 documents the loss of his home.
All those beautiful things you said in the intro ❤
I respect him soo much!
Grateful 🙏
Rest in peace friend. I will miss you.
🙏🙏🙏🧨✨️ We miss you and rest in peace beautiful man 💖💖

Did Dr. McDougall get out that lecture that he talks about around minute 57 ?
amazing interview. I have HH and Gerd what if I take H2 blocker, do I need to take calcium and B12? anyone?
Interesting, particularly his take on sexism's role in prevalent modern diet beliefs.
I thought we were suppose to grind up flax seed to absorb it??
He said grind it up and extract the oil. He’s talking about oils.
He died young
What was the cause of death, nutritional 'deficiencies'??????????
Lion diet and feeling great
🥲🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥲
McDougall liked to tell people good news about their bad habits that they didn't have to do too much exercise at all, just eat mostly potatoes, rice and corn, 3 foods that are not mentioned in KJV bible, so McDougall has a higher rank and status than the bible.
Is the cause of death known?
He may have just died from old age in sleep. Some people don’t live as long due to variety of other factors no matter how clean you eat. How much one eats, how one eats(chewing,etc), how fresh the food is, I imagine all factors in the diet aspect
I'm convinced that the jabs are to blame 😮😢
Какая прияина смерти ?

When a health expert dies it reveals the folly of it all..
The 10 "McDougallisms" make for a great fill-in-the-blanks puzzle:
1. People love to hear good news about their [A] [B].
2. The [C] you [D] is the [C] you [E].
3. People think they are [F] when they are on a Western diet, but they are [G] to their [H].
4 .The joy of living comes from surrounding ourselves with [I] that we [J] and living in a way that [K] our [L].
5. If you don't take care of your [M], where are you going to [N]?
6 .[O] is not something that you need to find; it is something that you already have if you just don't [P] it.
7. The food you eat can either be the safest and most powerful form of [Q], or the slowest form of [R].
8. It's not the [S] in your [T], but the [T] in your [S] that counts.
9. If you love [U], don't waste [V], for [V] is what [U] is made of.
10. [W] the [X], [W] the [X], [W] the [X].

He was wonderful...but why did he die so young? If we are never to know...his legacy is damaged.
Why does that affect his legacy. What he did during his life did not change. He had a major stroke at 18 and lived longer then expected
@@lucythecat529 it affects his legacy because of the many people... who will now and in future... hear about his diet...people who could have been greatly helped by it...but who will now hear.." oh...that's the dude who killed himself early by eating that vegan diet"...and now...because of our not knowing really anything...not having ANY evidence to the contrary...no matter how many conjectures you posit...those people will be lost...his influence will gradually fade...until he becomes..to others...just another obscure diet crackpot. It is the last thing he would have wanted. If one sets himself up to be a leader in health...one has a responsibility to be transparent and state before death that if he or she dies unexpectedly...the effects of the proposed diet should be revealed... if there is evidence that the diet hurt...it should be made known...just as... if there is evidence that it helped...that should be told.. Pritikin autopsy showed clean arteries...he wanted people to know. That left a legacy. McDougall family should do as Pritikin's family did. Find out and let people know. McDougall would have wanted it.
