- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Dr John McDougall, the renowned author and physician known for his advocacy of low fat plant-based diets, has died aged 77.
In a statement, his family described him as a “beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, mentor and friend,” and said that he died peacefully in his sleep last Saturday (June 22).
Dr McDougall pursued a healthcare career after suffering from a stroke aged 18. He was left with a lifelong disability as a result of the stroke, which gave him a passion for transforming the healthcare system.
He wrote a number of books on diets, including The McDougall Plan, which was a New York Times bestseller. He was a member of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine, a nonprofit health organization promoting preventative medicine and advocating for plant-based diets.

Keep in mind that he did NOT die of cancer or diabetes or high blood pressure or any painful ailment. He went to bed and never woke up. There is no better way to leave here.
We can't say he did not die from the diseases you mentioned. The family is hiding his cause of death. Don't ignore his frail appearance in the last several years. McDougall has been sick for a very long time. Leukemia?
how do you know? it wasn't disclosed
@@davidcarlin38502:20 the video says
Dr McDougall saved my life. It does kinda piss me off though, that he didn't outlive my mom who was morbidly obese and lived on grease. But there is no diet that can guarantee longevity. Any one of us can die at any time, for any number of reasons. Many of us are walking around with congenital malformations or inherited disease that we don't even know about. Dr McDougall didn't just have a stroke. He had a massive stroke with major paralysis. He blames his childhood diet, and i believe it because as a child, he had a host of other health problems as well. He went on to live a very unhealthy lifestyle as a young adult until he figured it out. I see a lot of people commenting that they want to know why John died. They want his family to go public with any details. I don't think it's anybody's business why he died. Personally, i don't need any reassurance that his diet works. I went from needing a walker, unable to lift five pounds, to super fit following John's recommendations. I am forever grateful. Thank you John. May you rest in peace.
John McDougall said we don't die from old age-everyone dies from something. What did he die from?
If he died without medication or dementia, then that was a bonus.
RIP, Doc.
Did he? And how would you know for sure?
I came off blood pressure medication on his diet 7 years ago at age 48, and I still don't need it and never will. I also prevented he need for statins very quickly. I need antidepressant but that is all. I probably didn't get the covid disease severely because of the diet. I got a bad cold once; just coughing, but I got better.
@nev707 Apparently he did lose his marbles..
unfortunately his family are refusing to release his medical records, and they denied an autopsy. He acted neurotic and strange in some interviews. It may have been dementia, but who knows apart from his family. It looked like he had sarcopenia, he was very frail. You'd think they would be happy to release the medical records and show how healthy he was.
@@peterpan408 where did you hear that?
Dr McDougall was a wonderful human being - we’re all so grateful to him for everything that he did, helping animals and humans. Such very sad news.
I am beyond saddened by the passing of this wonderful man. What a legacy to have helped so many people. Thank you Dr.Mcdougall. You will be missed by all the souls you have touchd.
Dr McDougall was up there with the best of them and possibly the best Plant Based Doctor. RIP
That's like being the worlds tallest dwarf....
Indeed
I enjoyed listening to him, very knowledgeable and motivating, but not the best. He didn't believe in exercise, kept saying diet is enough. There's a lot of research on the importance of exercise for the heart and brain function.
John McDougall was one of the people that started my journey very early on in to compassionate, living and eating! A true hero, and a great friend to animals
I will be forever grateful for his hard work. I have cited his work many times. He educated the public on a loving, unique, and necessary lifestyle. The world is a much better place because of Dr John McDougall.
Rest on, Dr. Mac D. Thanks again for all you have done for the world.
I can’t believe it. He was just so alive. Condolences to his family.
I never met the man yet this news makes me very emotional and sad. His lectures and plant based starch diet improved my life so much. In early 2019 before I began Dr McDougal’s diet I was literally afraid to get out of bed. I had been suffering with back pain for 16 years after breaking my back in 2003, but in 2019 it really flared up due to inflammation in my body from all the wrong food I was eating. Within about a week of starting the Dr McDougall diet my severe back pain went away and that inflammation just drained out of my body and I’ve been doing well since. So sad to think Dr McDougall is gone.
Almost all non-religious western people who became vegans earlier than the 70's had some serious health issue, and in fact many were/are victorious against the predictions of a short life, by their conventional doctors. A relative of mine had a severe kidney-disease in her twenties, her doctor predicted she would never see her 30th birthday, but she did live, and seemingly vitally, until she was 78 - she was vegan/vegetarian and avoided all white "poisons", too, sugar, salt, and white flour. Such cases of healing against all odds, are strong evidence for a healthy plant-based diet. In my own case I strongly lean towards ethical motives, too, not just my health. Thank you for a warm tribute to a passionate Hero.
I don’t remember where I read or heard this, but the statement was that eating well isn’t about adding years to your life, but rather, adding life to your years.
I was going to say exactly the same thing, “…Because he was a human.” We all share this condition, and each of us have an expiration date. Do the best you can with what you’ve been given in this life. ❤
I read this news and my heart broke. I’m very sad and mourn his passing. But, I’m grateful to be here on this feed in a community that celebrates him ❤️
I still respect his work, and know it has prolonged the lives of thousands, if not millions of people. He was a leader in the plant-based movement and we all grieve together. I ask Mary and their family to please do a public, video-recorded memorial where we can hear other plant-based doctors and leaders eulogize him. Our community is aching to come together that way.
I can think of several other well-known and respected plant-based doctors who likely would not eulogize John McDougall. You see, McDougall and his "best friend," Jeff Nelson, attacked and ridiculed other plant-based doctors, burning several bridges in the process. I'd settle for an autopsy. McDougall even attacked Dr. Atkins after his death, reading from his autopsy report. He also created a fake photo by pasting Dr. Atkins' face on a shirtless obese body. How would you eulogize John McDougall?
Rest easy, Doctor, you were phenomenal. Deepest condolences, Family Circle. Love alone.
Dr McDougall had a huge influence on my food habits and health. Very sad to see such an intellectual giant, who was ahead of the times leave us all. Om Shanti. 🙏
RIP dear Dr McDougall! I am stunned and sad! You have left a huge impact on our Family and others! You will be very much MISSED! Holding all the McDougall Family in our hearts:
I recently "read" The Starch Solution on Audible again. His steadfastness and determination shine through. RIP Doctor.
I am so sad this genius has passed away from us. He has been such a light to me over the last 10 years. I wish I had found him sooner.
My mom died suddenly at 77 she wasn't a vegan and ate happily. baked pies cooked hefty meals.
Rest in peace.
I just found out, and I can’t crying. He meant so much to me, a giant in the plant-based, and so dedicated. I didn’t believe the news at first, I was hoping to meet him, and to join the movement he was starting to save the planet. I’m so sad tonight, but I feel that it must have been his time, and that those he has inspired will pick up where he left off. Thank you for absolutely everything, Dr John
RIP, Dr. Mcdougal, you are a legend, sir!Your teachings, example and tireless advocating of healthy diet, protecting our planet and healing countless people in your lifetime, you'll jever be forgotten!One of the pioneers of whole food, plant based diet, a proliferate writer and an incredible human!
Wonderful man that affected so many people's lives for the better. RIP
May God blesses his soul and may his soul fly high in Heaven. Our world needs more people like Dr. John McDougall 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖
I’m forever grateful for Dr McDougall. May he rest in peace.
So sad. He was a remarkable person who so eloquently faught against the naysayers. I have been touched by his wisdom. My deep condolences to his family 🙏
Rest in Peace Dr. McDougall he was one of the contributors that made me make the switch from vegetarian to vegan.
Thank you, Dr. John McDougall! R.I.P. Prayers for peace and comfort to your family 💔😢🙏🏼
Everyone has an expiration date. His was 77. As I write this my sister is dying . Her life expetancy was 35 due to a an unfortunate circumstances that happened to her and my mom in the 1960s. Mom died age 53 and my sis is now73. The doctors have stopped all treatment. I have accepted it because she lived a full life and proved the doctors wrong . She accomplisjed so much during her life.
He lived as a vibrant brilliant disabled man to the day he died. He was a hero.
His video with Chris, it was clear that he had issues with blood supply. You could hear it with his breaths
Rest in peace Doctor ❤
I am so sad to hear of the passing of Dr John McDougall and my condolences to his family.
However I am curious to know his cause of death and whether it was diet related in anyvway.
Rip🙏
Dr McDougall was an amazing person and contributed greatly to the plant based life style. Sending love and condolences to his family! ❤
Thank you for making this video!
can we actually talk about what actually killed him based on science autopsy instead of making speculations. wouldnt this have been a great oppurtunity for the family to show the world he didnt die because of his diet? but instead they officially refused to divulge the cause of death. autposy will reveal if his genetics caused his death or if a blockage caused his death, or if sarcopenia caused his death, we will learn valuable knowledge if his autopsy results were published.
Rest in peace great man you will be missed ❤️
May he rest in peace
What was the cause of death? Stroke? Heart attack? Diabetes? Need info if claims are being made about diet, right?
People eventually pass regardless of the flag they wave.
If you dodge the common causes, something else gets you, even if it is just gradual dysfunction.
I think 77 is actually a good age, especially not living with any debilitating health problems in the run up to his death, like so many do. My dad died at 56 from heart disease, caused by a diet heavy in dairy & meat. I myself was diagnosed with heart disease at 45, as well as type 2 diabetes & hypertension, but after going vegan for the animals, I reversed all three & I'm now extremely fit & healthy. So every day I'm thankful, I got a second chance of life. I just wish I got chance to tell my dad to change his diet, because I'm sure if he had gone plant based, he would still be alive today. It's so important to spread the message of a plant based diet, because it is rarely promoted mainstream & it could save so many lives.
It is devastating news. He was still well enough to be doing everything as normal. But I remember him explaining the history of his stroke. He suffered a permanent disability when he had that stroke. So I can only imagine it was something to do with that disability. It's sad because he had begun to really campaign more intensively for the planet more than just on the diet side of being a vegan since he had given up seeing patients. He was really keen on campaigning for the kids who are inheriting our Earth. But that is still there for all of us to follow in the footsteps of his legacy.
My special thoughts for his wife Mary ❤
Very sad to lose such a great man
If he ate a carnivore diet he’d still be alive. He wouldn’t have had sarcopenia and his brain and bones would be healthy and strong
Rest in peace doc😢
why do we feel the need to explain why someone died?
Because everyone followed this guy’s diet and he recommended everyone ate like him …
Well, it's not just "someone", he was a health guru*. But it is a fact that healthy living doesn't always guarantee s long life as there are other factors involved. The important thing IMO is that he lived a meaningful and useful life.
Because as Dr. McDougall would say, "People like to hear good things about their bad habits." Guaranteed some people will take this and use it as an excuse to keep eating animal products while completely ignoring the fact he had a massive stroke at 18 because of animal products and the only reason he was able to live as long and as well as he did was because of his diet.
Because they want to feel like they are better than the next person...they want to say "see I told yall." Ugh...please are horrible sometimes.
Good life lived. Helped hundreds of thousands to eat better, including myself since the early 90's. Having said that I don't think we need to place so much emphasis on his health challenge at age 18 as the presumed contributing factor in his passing.
With time, the actual facts would suffice to replace the speculation.
Whatever the case, his legacy of nutritional advice will live on and continue to benefit so many.
OMG I’m so sad to hear this. He is the reason I am vegan and healthy today. RIP Dr. McDougall, you will be missed.
RIP 🙏
May his memory be a blessing 🙏... may God comfort the family 🥰
I do not know how the heck I missed this!! Dr. McDougall was my start into plant-based dieting when I was 16. I had read his "12 Days to Dynamic Health" book. It was life-changing. Unfortunately, we cannot know what the actual cause of his death was because that information has not been released. And if it ever is released, carnivores will point fingers and have a new "what about." The fact is, all of us are not only dealing with diet but also with genes. The important thing is, let's live as well and compassionately as we can while we are here and plants help us do that. RIP, Dr. McDougall.🕯
I was dealing with jeans and am now fitting into 30" waist jeans, just like when I was a teen. It wasn't plants but carnivore that caused my size 36" pants to fall off. The plant doctor lived a pretty long life but was it active or on a lot of drugs and aches and pains? I'm only 73 but I walk up to 200 miles per month. I guess the not know the cause of death but if he was in bed it wasn't being shot by a jealous husband,lol.
A stroke early in McDougall's life might have something do do with his death at 77. Leukemia in his 40's might have something to do with Nathan Pritikin;s death at 70. Or they might not have anything to do it. The objective fact is that both of them had a life that was no longer than someone who eats whatever they want.
It has been reported that Pritikin allegedly killed himself when his cancer returned.
95% environmental
5% genetics
I heard😢
Well said
Well your world’s Dillon said it best when he said (paraphrasing here) that he eats wfpb, not necessarily so he can live long, but so that he can die well. No life support machines… or wasting away… if you look at the good Doctor’s passing from this perspective, you can see he succeeded in doing just that. Thank you Dr. McDougal for reminding us that although we can’t proceed past our God ordained expiration date, we can live well and go home as strong and mentally competent as humanly possible. God bless you for all you’ve done for humanity🎁🙏❤️
I was absolutely gutted by this news! He was a great man , dedicated to the betterment of all living things on earth! If only more people were like him...RIP LEGEND
RIP 😔
Thank you
After hearing this i am convinced that while eating a certain way may impact the health of some individuals but not all. I have known some people who have smoked, consumed meat and junk food and have lived long healthy lives. Then you have some people who eat healthy, exercise and they die young. No one knows the answer to having a long healthy life.
Why did C19 vaccinated Dr McDougall die?
That is the heartbreak of it
Was he vaccinated?
@@liesbeth4271 Yep, 100%. He did a video with Chef AJ in which he said he knew the risks but had decided to take them. Others have said he was boosted also.
@@lgx2410 so disappointed that critical plant-based health-professionals were bamboozled by the vaccine-pushers and took an experimental jab. At least dr. McDougall knew he took a risk. We don't know if the jab caused this, but since the jabs, all bets are off as far as I'm concerned.
I'm now second-guessing everything. How did Bernstein outlive Dr. McDougal?
RIP 🫡
Excellent video, well done.
RIP you changed my life Dr McDougall, thank you
THANK YOU DR
Wow I didn't know Dr. McDougall had died, what a great loss! 😥😢😭
I would much rather die at 77 with all my faculties than live to 95 confined to a bed with someone else wiping and feeding me for those extra 20yrs. He went out with his boots on as a beloved uncle of mine would've said. RIP Dr. Mcdougall
Yeah that's right and especially if somebody was feeding you meat and dairy 😭
It's going to happen with many of the Boomers, however, regardless. That's why we need more powerful interventions than diet and exercise to stave off an economic crisis brought on by an aging population. We need new drugs, developed by large, well-funded R&D departments.
@@squamish4244I hope you’re joking.
100%
@@alexeepark1278 I am not. Just look at the demographic projections for 2050. Twice as many people will be over 65. You can eat all the veggies you want, many of them are still going to get dementia and Alzheimer's no matter what lifestyle choices we make, and the cost for caring for those people is expected to quintuple between now and then.
Japan is pouring money into anti-aging research because it is already in a permanent economic slump brought about by having the oldest population in the world. Where they are now is the future for most countries. And they have a healthy elderly population.
I got to meet Dr. McDougall in person and he signed a book for me. I emailed Dr. McDougall last year to wish him a happy birthday, and thanked him for the positive impact he's had on my life. He replied back, "Helping others is the greatest gift in life."
Aww what a man. Thank you for sharing.
I do agree , it brings happiness to all 😊❤
How much did he charge you to sign it?
@@ShawnDarlinghalibutfishermanwhat a shit thing to say. Must have a parasite from eating fish in your brain. Or mercury poisoning.
@@ShawnDarlinghalibutfisherman Denigrating someone who died a few days ago. Trolls are usually sad inside.
Plant based doesn’t equate to living forever, it means living a better quality of life while alive. It doesn’t make you immune to genetic errors.
So well put.
It hopefully equates to living longer than the norm though (I follow Dr. McDougall’s diet FWIW)
And 77 is not a premature death, though he could have lived longer. I have a friend who was 57 when he died last year, he would have wished to have 77 years
I don't know about plant based people, but as a vegan my lifestyle is based on ethics, and I failed to see the connection with dying at any age.
No, it doesn't. That's pure bs
I was awake in the middle of the night because of pain. I turned on the radio and heard Dr McDougall talking about The Starch Solution. I haven't eaten animal products since. That was almost 10 years ago. Thank you, Dr McDougall. Sending love to Mary.
No, no, no, no, oh, no. Dr. John McDougall was the person who set me on my whole plant food journey. I had searched for causes and remedies most of my life, and it was he who pointed the way for me. His direct, no-nonsense delivery of information was what I needed to see the corruption in food and medicine. He is forever my hero. Bless you, Dr. John McDougall. Rest in peace. ❤
Same ❤
Figure it out. Cooked food doctors are not getting it obviously
Well, it didn't help him, did it?
I feel you. I’m heartbroken over the loss of such a great man. He was the wfpb doctor I found seven years ago and after never being able to stick to a diet, he showed me I could lose weight and get healthy and live every minute of it.
@@bryanbadonde9484 That doesn't sound very healthy to me. You people don't have very good sales skills, do you?
The other thing don’t point out he lived to 77 not suffering from illness or diseases
Correct. John and Mary lived an adventure. They both got their pilots license, conducted many trips, serve so many in person and online with their medical practices, raised great kids. A life well lived.
the amount of physiological damage done to us before our 25th birthday plays a significant role in our life expectancy, etc., not to mention the amount of exposure to toxins (vaccines, etc.,). The fact that he lived until he was 77 - almost 50 years post CVA, etc., - is quite, amazing. 🍵
@@theaxialartmost of the plant-based doctors follow the scientific evidence and are in favour of vaccination to prevent infectious, deadly diseases.
McDougall was pretty sickly looking the last five years. Something was wrong. And his mental oddities were never explained.
This was pointed out 02:20
Thank you, I did get to meet him at age of 29 and again at 54. I’m 71 years old and what a different he made in my life.
That is so awesome that you got to meet him, I always wanted to meet him, I will meet him someday I guess
Death is inevitable regardless of diet. Imagine if he hadn't followed his own dietary advice. He likely got an extra 20 years. Having had a stroke at 18 means he was predisposed to another stroke. He's an excellent example of his own work.
Heather is keeping the McDougall work moving forward as well! 💖💖💖💖
I am currently nearly 9 years passed my life expectancy thanks to Dr McDougall and other plant based Drs! My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. May he Rest in Peace.💕
Thank you for taking the time to honor Dr. McDougall. He was simply the best!!!
Thank you for the beautiful obit.
Rest In Peace Dr John McDougall🙏❤️
🌿🍃🌱🍃🌿🍃🌱🍃🌿
He made it this far because of his diet. Deserves our respect and gratitude 🙏.
There is no way in the world you can say this with any confidence.
So well said
@@Brancoveanu450 Of course there is no way you can know this, especially since a cause of death has not been disclosed.
I agree 100%. He didn’t lived to this age because he was vegan 77 yrs old is not long ….. my mom lived to 89 yrs she was not vegan , my grandma lived to 100 yrs old and was a carnivore at her veggies too they had no health issues .
@@tinknal6449agree
Thank you so much for this. Rest in peace Dr McDougall. You’ve done so much for the world.
Also, just want to mention Dr Colin T Campbell age 90 and Dr Caldwell Esselstyn age 90, both still working as vegan doctors. Dr Ellsworth Wareham was a vegan cardiologist who turned vegan around 45YO after seeing what diet did to his patients. He lived to 104 and continued to train residents until well into his 90s. I’m not saying this because it’s a race. I’m saying this because each human has their life span, it’s not a uniform thing. You can see in these two doctors first mentioned they’re not only still alive but still very sharp and still full members of the community, helping others. Dr Wareham was the same. He was still sharp and aware and loving until he died at 104.
For the majority of people, eating fruits and vegetables is a compassionate choice that will improve your health, increase your life span and make life better while you’re here if you decide to do it.. To be working as a doctor to help people in your 90s is not usual! Nor is doing what Dr McDougall did, working right up until he passed at 77 then dying peacefully in his sleep. It’s extraordinary when most 77 year olds are in nursing homes or require constant care. I truly do not understand this antagonism towards people who choose to eat plants and encourage others to improve their health. It’s saddening. Again thank you for making this video and celebrating the life Dr McDougall gave to serving others. It’s an inspiration❤
Indeed, stroke at age 18 means serious genetic predisposition to such an illness and thus having a high chance of re-occurrence. Fact he remained healthy as a horse for almost the next 60 years after is a true testament of the power of a plant based diet. Carnists can mock hi and the diet as much as they want, but the fact is no one on their diet would last that long under the same circumstances.
Dr McDougall not only had a massive lacuna stroke at 18 but I understand he was also in a serious vehicle accident a few years back .
Whether it had to do with his passing I don’t know. But, he was able to live another 60 good health years after his stroke and had a productive meaningful wonderful life, leaving a legacy that touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Well done Dr McDougall. His family will continue enlightening people about this whole plant food vegan lifestyle. He will be remembered as one of the giants
His home burned in California’s wildfires also.
@@JacobSTSVoxoh no😮😢😢😢😢
Rest in peace, Dr McDougall 🩷
My mother is 96+ and vegan. Her cognitive function is excellent, she loves to read and can discuss current issues.
my mother is 86 and vegan. she has dementia. Unfortunately.
My uncle is 88 and eats meat every day, and always has. He walks two miles a day, and does all the yard work too. He is sharp as a tack and wicked funny.
There are no vegans at 96 years old. It is a myth.
What caused her to turn vegan? Just curious
I’m very happy for your mom and wish her many more years of life
HOW BLESSED WE HAVE BEEN & WILL CONTINUE TO BE BECAUSE OF DR. MCDOUGALL….
Fly high with your wings!!!😇♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
RIP Dr. John McDougall. You were one of the doctors I listened to before going vegan in 2017. I never would have changed my diet if I didn't first know it was a healthy decision to make. Thank you for helping to spread the word on plant-based diets. Thank you for you passion, and thank you for your work.
Dr McDougall upped the quality of his life and probably lived longer than he would have. Most people at 77 are on a dozen or so medications. He did amazing!
Thanks to Dr. McDougall I became vegan and fixed my health. R.I.P.
Thanks to Mcdougall I became carnivore 7 years ago as his deterioration started.
Surfing the WEB late one night I stumbled across Dr McDougall's TED Talk 'The Food We Were Born To Eat' 9/8/19 and I went WFPB the next morning. This man's TED Talk changed my life!! I dropped 22kgs and I have not knowingly eaten animal products since then. STARCH!! I have just eaten a big tray of sesame seed covered air baked potatoes with salad. My thoughts go out to Mary and the rest of the family. RIP good man. A brilliant life, doctor and human being. Again ... this man changed my life!! Because of Dr John McDougall I have found so many other heroes of the plant based world and lifestyle.
A brilliant and compassionate man ….i totally agree with you….RIP John🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
R. I. P. Dr John Mcdougal. What a brilliant man.
Down to earth. Said it like it was.
I loved the way you always made Mary laugh,.
And I would be laughing too.
What a joy to have known you. ❤
Rest in Peace Dr. McDougall! You will be missed and you've definitely made a mark on my world! 💜
77 is hardly an early demise. It’s about the average for a male in America. On top of that it sounds like he obviously had underlying health issues due to a stroke at such a young age, regardless of his diet back then. The man lived a long , rewarding life and if anything, extended it with his diet, seemingly still active and useful right up to the end.
He changed the way I look at food. I loved watching his conference talks and he made complex diseases so simple to solve. Fasting and removing processed foods and potatoes is what I've learned. RIP McDougall, you'll live forever on TH-cam.
To have a stroke at 18 he didn't have good genetics to start with, so in that context 77 is pretty good.
outstanding is more like it! Rare for someone to live 60 years after a stroke.
77 is pretty good in any context frankly.
He would've likely died a while ago, if it weren't for WFPB, but also unfortunately he took the clot shot :(

Vegan doesn’t guarantee a long life. It just means you don’t take a bunch of animals with you. ✌🏼🌱
What if it means a shortened life span?
@@bobhill4364 Is not possible!
But being vegan is killing many animals to grow the crops and foods vegan eat. And growing vegan foods is killing the land as well. Death of animals and death of the land being vegan is killing the planet.

Dr.McDougall has greatly influenced my diet & overall lifestyle change. He is the major reason I'm plant (potato) based.
