Congratulations to Our Founder,
 
John A. McDougall, MD
 
in receiving the ACLM Lifetime Achievement Award.

For over 45 years, Dr. McDougall worked tirelessly to educate his patients, and anyone who would listen, about the benefits of a starch-based diet with fruits and vegetables on reversing and avoiding dietary diseases. Time and again, Dr. McDougall would see his patients who suffered from diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, gout, obesity, and countless other ailments cured just by changing one fundamental thing: The Food. 
 
Now, in his retirement from seeing patients, Dr. McDougall continues to champion not only for the health of everyone on the planet, but the planet itself. Upon receiving the distinguished award, Dr. McDougall chose to discuss Climate Change.
 
Thank you, Dr. McDougall, for your life-long passion in helping people obtain better health and to protect the environment for many future generations to come. Your staff feels honored to have worked with you closely over the years and be a part of the team you hand selected to continue your legacy.
