We’re honored to welcome Dr. John McDougall back to the podcast for another hearty discussion.
Dr. McDougall was on the podcast on Episode 151, and we took a look at his storied life and career as a pioneering physician and talked about his discoveries that informed his unwavering practice of a starch-based diet.
In this episode, Rip dives in on very specific topics to get his opinions on procedures like mammograms and colonoscopies, bone density scans, blood pressure medications and other pills, as well as treatments for hormone-related diseases like male pattern baldness, endometriosis, body odor, bad breath, and more!
Dr. McDougall has been in practice for almost 50 years and, if there’s everyone who has earned the right to state their researched opinions, it’s him. Yes, he has strong opinions about modern medicine, but his point is clear and simple. So many of these screenings, procedures and medications can be diminished or even eradicated with PLANTS, and more specifically, a starch-based diet.
He doesn’t want his patients to undergo treatments that are harmful, painful, and expensive - when so many of the solutions are simple - It’s the FOOD. - บันเทิง
I am binging Dr. McDougall videos. Am crushed over his passing. Thank you for all that you do. Vegan for 7 years now.
Same
Dr. Mcdougall and your father Dr Esselstyn are HEROES
how many lives they saved ... great people
Then keep spreading the good news @ work, home, church , everywhere!
RIP Dr Mcdougall! I am thankful we have these videos to watch over and over and to remind us of what a great doctor you were!❤💔
What a beautiful conversation. Dr. McDougall’s legacy is powerful. May he rest in peace.
John McDougall saved my eyesight and probably my life and the life of my husband.
How did he save your eyesight?
@@rayj.9568 i had been diagnosed in 2018 with macular puckering. My vision was a bit blurry and colors were dull. After maybe 4 months, I could see clearly again. My optometrist was amazed. He showed me the images before and after and the healing was remarkable.
@loves2spin2 Fantastic!!!
@@rayj.9568 i was developing macular puckering. After 4 months eating the McDougall way, my eyesight cleared. I went back to my optometrist and he discovered the condition had reversed!

I never get tired of hearing Dr. McDougall. His approach is simple and straightforward. Thanks Rip for another great interview.
Now. I have to go get some potatoes warmed up to finish listening! 😎
I found using the traditional oven for white and sweet potatoes is great. I don't need real fast access to food. If it takes longer I will appreciate it more. Also the toastiness of the skins is worth waiting for. Everybody's different and whatever works to keep you thoughtful as opposed to impulsive is worth the effort.
The reason I turned vegan from vegetarian in early Oct, 2021 is due to Doctor McDougall. I heard his lecture on the benefits of a starch based diet. And then soon enough I understood the reason not ro take dairy and extra oil.
Now at 66 I run long distances and coach tennis without any fear of heart and leg damage!
I also have little to worry about at age 54 being on the Mcdougall program for 6 years now. I could get my LDL lower and get more exercise, though, but I have an exercise bike where can go for weeks or months of regular exercise and it's very convenient.
Congrats! My husb is a bit older then both of us and still going strong on similar food and one drug ADHD. He does enjoy seafood 1-2x per wk but only wild caught and sustainable. His markers are all great so one animal source is OK. I’m fully vegan. Peace and health friend. 🌱
Wow! Fantastic, OP!
Dr. M. tells it like it is.....and if folks listen to this guy, their lives would be healthier and perhaps live a longer life. I know, because l listen. The Esselstyn's, Ann and Jane and Chef AJ are all extensions with awesome recipes for good eats. I'm pretty happy with this group of people
This was epic. I have followed both of you for years and totally agree with the diet recommendations . But it’s both the unnecessary medical procedures and the medication discussion that I want to applaud you for bringing to the forefront. I’m 85, take only thyroid ( only because I had a thyroid ablation some years ago) and I am amazingly healthy. I’m a nurse practitioner and worked in a busy ER for many years and can’t tell you how many people came in with literally bags full of meds. They took a drug for one thing and 2 others to counteract the effects of the first drug and so on. I’m convinced that those meds were causing the great majority of their symptoms and certainly were not curing or in most cases, even controlling the underlying disease. But people consider giving up meat and dairy too extreme. Yet open heart surgery, dialysis, and a lifetime of pills and misery are somehow acceptable trade offs.
He’s just so great. I was low carb and miserable for 20 years, his work changed my whole life. Forever grateful. ❤
Same here type 1 diabetic for 20years yes it was hard eating very low carb tho vegan with coconut oil I realized it was not a good diet not easy to do. Better now wfpb is working for me now. I'm 73 people think I'm much younger
Dr McDougall is my guy and a game changer
All you need to do is avoid processed food. Every food group created by God is good.
@@grahamrogers3345 Yes but big companies now use non organic ways to grow their animals and crops so things are no longer good
@@grahamrogers3345 well, all things created by God have a use but not all nourish us. And sentient life is not food for humans in any case.
Dr John is the man. So much false profit driven information out there. You and Dr Greger are my main guides. Thank you for your passion and wisdom.
I adopted a basically vegan diet 3 years ago. The reason it has been sustainable is because I learned about the importance of starch from Dr McDougall.
Thanks Rip for this MOST interesting interview with Dr. John McDougall! I never tire of hearing this intelligent man, hoping your family had a great Christmas and like wise wishing ya all a great Happy New Year's! 😊👍
Thank you both
This is such a wonderful, wonderful podcast! I have missed many screening tests thanks to Dr. Mcdougall and I have not had near the anxiety as my friends and relatives. In my 50s I'm feeling great and have lots of energy. I am grateful that Dr. McDougall is not shy about his opinions and that he cares so much about women's health. I'm grateful to be prescription free and able to tow the line.
I'm 73 plant based diabetic type 1 since 42 years old have never been on any medication and I feel great. No oils no animal products very easy to do I love this diet it works
@@baletha1Wow!! Fantastic testimony! Thank you!!
If I hadn’t had a routine colonoscopy at 56 I’d likely be dead. For many years of my life I ate the standard American diet, but had embraced a vegetarian and then vegan diet for around 20 years before my colonoscopy. I was in shock when a golf ball sized tumor was found in my transverse colon. It was large and very precancerous. The discovery of this tumor before it metastasized was life saving. Surgery removed it and I’m healthy and fine and living my best life on whole, plant foods. I believe that colonoscopy saved my life.
So you were vegan/vegetarian for 20 years and still developed a colon tumor?
@@MrYorugua12345 It was very likely in there for many many years. Who can even know when it started? I know I used to get painful stomach aches when I was a kid.
I’m a believer in getting checked out. Even vegans can get cancer.
@@debbiepanik9356 &
If McDougall sold all his newsletters in one book I'd buy it
It is possible to download all his newsletters from his website.
What’s the website?
Dr. McDougall and Dr. Esselstyn are TRUE doctors and TRUE friends to each of us!!!
Potatoes are my favourite food as well
Me too!😊
Doc I’m going to try ur plan n will get back to you n let u know if it worked for me!!!
Sir Dr MacDougall if you could spread light on ghee(fermented milk churned to fat and heated to exclude milk protein) and black seeds( nigella sativa) I would be blessed 😊
I hope millions of people end up seeing this. I am going to try and start a local health club to promote whole food low oil diet
Why is it always green & yellow vegetables instead of green & orange vegetables? Big Corn influence? Go Big Carrot!
Love Dr. Mcdougall! I downloaded all the free books. Thank you!
Where did you find the free books, I can’t find them.
Starches are amazing foods, especially grains..They give energy, protein, fats everything you need..no headaches, joint pains, fatigue, skin issues, digestive issues..all health conditions show positive results with starches..they are easy to cook, prepare, store, buy in bulk, not expensive..they keep you full...just amazing how we have been mislead into thinking meat and eggs are important for people..
Nonsense. Who paid you to write that 💩?
This video is an absoute treasure! Thank you so much Dr, McDougall and Rip :)
I know a doctor who blew out his kidneys trying to lose weight on a high protein diet.
Read Dr. McDougall books many years ago. He's the one that got me started on this journey. Love his talks!!
I'm reminded of what Jim Gaffigan says about a colonoscopy - "The best thing you can find out after a camera stuck up your butt is that you didn't need to have a camera stuck up your butt."
Funny! I'm 72 & never had one. Will never have one either. It would be almost impossible for me to have any bowel problems with as many beans as I eat!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to the Esselstyn family! ✝️
I love this interview! Two great families in one great video! I never tire of hearing from Dr. McDougall. Thanks for doing this.
I heard even more information watching this podcast again. Thank you so much for reminding us about how great this particular episode was!!!
If an animal can chew in a circular pattern with the lips closed then it evolved to eat plants.
I'm surprised the Dr. didn't mention Ezekiel Bread? I love it, and have read nothing bad about it?
I love that bread too. It cost $8 where I live, but is worth it!
@@annemccarron2281 6.99 here in Ohio....last week the store had them on sale 2 for 10 bucks!;-)
Yes it is worth the cost. Plus thers is no waste because it keeps well in the freezer
I just love the basic principles of the McDougall and Plantstrong versions of the organic whole food starch based diet 🎵🍀🎶💚🐸
"You can't overlook the dollar. Money drives everything." TRUTH. "Dying is not unhealthy. It's going to happen." More truth! So many people refuse to accept they ARE going to die.
The newsletter archive for Dr. Mcdougall is a gold mine of information and I hope it is archived in a manner that guarantees it survives the test of time. I've gone through all the newsletters and haven't read them all, but mostly the article titles and the first part of most articles. Then I read the entire articles of my topics of interest.
My vitamin D was so low a number of years ago .. Less than 15 I think. You better believe I supplemented for awhile, to get it up. Then stopped.
Vitamin D is imperative for some people. I live in Alaska. We basically don't see the sun for 9 months out of the year. I would have gotten so depressed if I did not take my vitamin D.
@@annemccarron2281I live in the UK not a lot of Vitamin D here ☹️
McDougall has a supplement phobia...a lot of misinformation in here. "Vitamin D increases your risk of falls and fractures", lol. It's the lack of Vitamin D that would cause fractures. Most people are extremely deficient. Testing and supplementation are essential if your levels are low.
🤣🤣 McDougall is so hilarious
“Just like dying is not unhealthy, it’s gonna happen.” 😂😂🤣😂😂 Pure genius.
So enlightening to become aware of this man. Life changing feel blessed I am graced with his presence by way of your interviewing him. Thank you for the service that you do🙏🏻
Love these guys. I did the McDougall program and a doctor told me I needed to eat meat so I did and all the good that the McDougall program did started reversing so I am BACK and will stay because with in two days numbers came back down. And I love all the information you give because I now understand why I got fat and sick. I wish I knew all of this years ago. Why was it so obscure? I’m 71 years old I don’t understand why I never found this early on. Well thank you for persistence I finally found you.
I would pick beans🙂.
Pity Dr McDougal didn’t have the same view on big pharma when the Covid debacle was going on. That is a show me the money episode.
McDougall's website is a treasure chest of knowledge.
His appearance concerns me. He looks and sounds weak for only being 75. My mom is 87, gone through cancer, chemo, broken shoulder and she looks fantastic. I believe there are a lot of health benefits to a no fat, meat diet but the weight loss makes a lot of people look unhealthy.
Most centenarians are quite slim if I recall correctly.
He has a lot of sun damage from living in Hawaii and California. He also started eating almonds with his oatmeal because he was getting too thin.
Agree, something isn't right here.
I agree, sounds and looks bad.. My grandfather and his brother lived to be 104 and they looked 80 .. worked out everyday.
@Dottie A. one of mcdougall's problems is he just walks for exercise. He has admitted it in different live streams that he got too thin and started eating nuts and that he doesn't exercise like he should
What place on Portland? Pho Van per chance? Lol
I’m so glad to hear about his opinion on all of the testing. When I turned 40 my Dr wanted me to get a mammogram and I didn’t do it. I’m going to be 50 and still haven’t. I just don’t feel right about it.
Here in uk the NHS test women regularly but now I’m in my 50’s I’m not accepting my last invitation. Dr Mc is right.
I had my first colonoscopy in the past year and I have not felt right since. But I haven't complained to the doctors because I really felt like they were using me as a educational opportunity without informing me of that. They taught me they don't tell me the full truth when I would have been glad to have done that volitionally. I would have trusted the hospital more and been more likely to use their services if they were honest with me.
I enjoyed this conversation...thank you Rip for interviewing Dr. McDougall....🤙I live on the Big Island and a friend of mine got to see Dr.McDougell on Oahu...I found all you great health conscious plant based people from the wonderful Chef AJ❤️
I never get tired of McDougall 👏🏼👏🏼
Mary, my wife of 51 years, so good to hear.... My parents were married... my mother died two months short of the 50-year marriage.... But they were in love as much as on their wedding day.!
I wonder if Rip or John have bread machines. They are super practical and I make some of the best oil free banana breads ever using apple sauce as the congealing agent.
Ground flax seed is used as a binder too...
@@dottiea.2186 I prefer to go a lower fat route, but yes, you’re right.
Hi. Wondering, based on your name, do u eat greens? And what proportion of fruits and starches do you eat? I used to eat lots more fruit but started to hurt my stomach.
@@amyrorris569 yes I eat greens. I usually eat a handful or more of mixed salad green per day. I usually eat fruit earlier in the day and starches later in the day but this changes depending on what I have available.
Can you share any recipes for healthy bread for use in bread machine?
In PR we have a few supermarkets dedicated to sell healthy products called Freshmart. We are more than glad to have your products in these supermarkets so them are accessible to us. Just wondering if you can negotiate with them to introduce you wonderful products. Thank you very much!!
These teas sound AMAZING! Thank you. I'm an ayurvedic coach and these are most welcome to the market place!
Listen to John,he knows!
It's the only way to live!
The healthier you eat,the better you will be.
This was the first time I've heard that we should NOT take Vitamin D. All other plant based docs and people I follow, recommend both Vitamin B12 AND Vitamin D. So now I'm confused??
Have always read folks who adhere to the veggie/whole food/ no dairy no meat, lack Vitamin 12?
Absolutely LOVED listening to this while at the gym. 😅 Will look up The mantra! 🙏
Thank you so much John, for your free downloadable books. I ordered them. Actually there are 7 books and 1 in Spanish. Thanks so much. I already have the starchsolution and MC dougall diet books and I love them. Lucky enough I can moderate the nuts/seeds and I love them in my oatmeal or just on a smashed banana with cinnamon. It's soooo delicious.
where did you find them on the site?
Why is the low carb so bad lack energy slow metabolism high blood pressure cholesterol type 2 diabetes as a specialist sports nutrition carbs are the energy source grains legumes
I just wish McDougall would stick to talking about the food. I have to turn it off when he starts his tirade about "climate change". None of Al Gore's predictions came true. It's all BS. CO2 is what plants breathe in.
So, 99% of climatologists who spend their lives studying this sort of thing have no idea what they are talking about. Is that correct?
@@annemccarron2281Yeah…and it’s not 99%. Do research from both sides of the argument and partake of some critical thinking about this matter…it’s not what you think, just from one side. There are just as many scientist & climatologists supporting the opposite of climate change…it’s been cyclical for millennia’s.
I fall in love more every time I watch Dr McDougall’s interviews and when I watch you podcast interviews and your family’s you tube presentations. I adore your mom, Ann & father, the Great Dr. Esselstyn❤ Thank you so much!
Thanks Rip I follow u n all ur family too❤
I love Dr McDougall soups, especially the Black Bean soup that was available in a supermarket near me. The best soup I've had.
Microwave ? Would you comment on the reports of Russia having banned them because of how they adversely effect the food itself ? Thank you.😊
Great interview!! If you can try to interview Anthony William the medical medium. He’s all for a plant based diet☺️☺️
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
I was quite surprised when he clearly said that its almost over for him ( around 1 hour 35 min into the interview ) and he's had a fairy tale life. I always followed him and still do.
Gosh he looked I’ll back 2022. He should have tried eating meat.
Just brilliant thank you so much for this valuable exchange of information
I’m just listening to this for the first time in 2024::: thank you for this very informative video!
Iii I io😊i
Ii😅😅😊😊😅
😅😅
😅
I love how Dr. McDougall called out the supplement fraud 😂❤
and why would you follow someones' ideas who looks like this? Seriously? And, show me any culture in the world, ever, who eats this way.
There are multiple cultures who eat this way - for example the Blue Zones. The Irish lived off of potatoes for decades and little more.
I agree with your food views but you really need to differentiate between 100% grass fed and conventionally raised. Also wild caught and farmed. That makes a huge difference to your listeners because there is quite a difference in the quality and sulfur content. It could help win these ones over.
Learned so very much today! Thank you!
Look how malnourished this dude is.
He died today at the age of only 77.
Dr. McDougall has no shortage of strong opinions. Now to go looking for the research on supplements.
have been off an on a keto diet and seem after a week or 10 days i have bouts of anxiety, is there a connection i am certainly thinking of going to a starch base diet at least for a few months to see how it goes. Any advice is appreciated.
Absolutely keto impacts the brain negatively. I had a boss who went on and off it and could tell immediately every time she started back up. I called it keto brain.
I don’t care for sweet potatoes there too sweet for me but I love potatoes
If Dr McDougall's diet is so healthy then why on earth has he gone from looking relatively healthy a few years ago to looking decrepit? Also why did a doctor I used to so respect not see right through the evil of the response to Covid and the obsession with getting MRNA jabs into every arm?
He is 75 years old - people age but he remain thin . I followed Akins 20 years ago it bothered my Robert Akins was so big ( fat ) then I hear he was morbidly obese at his death . I will stick with WFPB
Who the phluck says, "oh my gosh?"
I do.
ME!
Love listening to you doc ❤👋
You’re a rebel now if eating carbs esp potatoes or rice. 😉😂 Check farmers online or markets for any selling direct to public incl potatoes and even oats. Tip: sml local farmers here say costs to be ‘certified organic’ are high in Canada but they’re open to visits by clients to see they’re free of chemicals. I trust them more then many big certified growers allowed to use ‘organic’ fertilizer/pesticide (in Cda) that many react to. Husb and I also support sml biz. Many do also raise chickens, pigs etc but know our views and respectful as we are to them. I’m more worried about pollution to air, water, land and therefore weather from big corp and mass consumerism of cheap products incl packaging. Very little recycled. It’s great Plant Strong seems to use more earth friendly packages for some products. I get it’s not easy or viable. Hopefully better options will be avail soon for good food cos like yours.✌️🌱🌎
Thanks
Love the New Teas Rip...
he was killed?by evill?
What about colon polyps though? One of the reasons for getting a colonoscopy is to identify precancerous colon polyps and have them removed before they become cancerous.
Tell me how does V-D supplements cause accidents/falls? Thank you!
I had a friend who had a colonoscopy and the doctor performing it ruptured the patient's colon.
I thought practically everything was lost in the fire? I doubt that’s the exact Crockpot but a replacement one. They *do* last forever, though. I still have mine that I had before I got married 45 years ago.
Unfortunately I don’t like sweet potatoes very much they are too sweet for me
I do too so I mix a little with a regular white potato and make a lovely mash.
I struggle with them too. I have found putting savory toppings help.
The good doctor says protein is evil. All the other youtube guru's say carbs are your enemy.
What about zinc? I’ve been struggling with strange symptoms. I thought B12 so supplementing with that, but I have added zinc and it has really helped a strange knee pain. Just curious your thoughts on zinc supplementation?
Cé N'est pas vrai !!! Vniqvement dépvis qu'ils s0nt sédentaires 😵💫fruits + 0ats == Alc00l
No thank you!
Regarding supplements, as a decades long vegan, I was diagnosed low in zinc years ago by a vegan doctor (despite taking multivitamins with zinc) and had to WAY up my zinc intake via pills. Plus, I had weird and bad foot/ankles/lower legs edema a few years ago and got suspicious that it might be a vitamin D problem. I now take 5,000+ IUs of D a day and the edema is gone. How do you explain that?
I would love to quit supplements, believe me, but....
Unrelated, I love Dr. McDougall's split pea soup in a cup.
Love your podcast and the practical information. Would like to hear your thoughts on lectins and weight loss. I am confused on some of the information I see such as Plant Paradox.
money trees
Why this nothing man before this giant intelligent man of the planet Dr.Mcdougall..calling John..again and again...He should talk respectfully with this saint like man..RIP proved his insensibility and stupidity only by calling John...to Dr.John McDougall.
That's not uncommon. I've seen it over & over. Younger people simply don't have that respect for older, more accomplished people like Dr. McDougal. It is what it is.
