Making a lifestyle change is no small feat. As the saying goes, it takes a village - and understandably so. A lifestyle change is a large, ongoing task and we should have a network and community to pick us up when we need it most. 

Participants of our 12-day program have shared how much the support, guidance and help of our team and the community we’ve helped foster has helped them succeed in gaining the health and life they’ve always wanted. 

Here are five ways the 12-Day McDougall Program can support you:

1. Before the program begins, you’ll meet with a dedicated Support Specialist to go over the program and answer any questions or concerns. You’ll discuss the optional meal plan provided and be guided through food preparation as needed. Your Support Specialist is your personal concierge during the program.

2. On each morning of the program, you’ll check in with your Support Specialist and go over your general well-being. After the program, you’ll receive ongoing support for an entire year. You’ll meet with your Support Specialist weekly for the first three months, then monthly for the rest of the year.

3. Dr. Anthony Lim - Medical Director of the McDougall Program - will give you a medical assessment and discuss any of your concerns with medications or treatments. Dr. Lim is dedicated to collaborating with you to reach your health goals. After the program, you become a McDougall patient for life which allows you to schedule additional follow-up appointments and consultations with our team*.

4. Each morning of the program, the first live session is with Dr. John and Mary McDougall for a casual and intimate “fireside” chat. Bring your breakfast, hear stories and get to know the McDougalls, and fellow participants. This is a unique opportunity to connect directly with the McDougalls and have all of your specific questions answered - they love these mornings together!

5. Dr. John, Mary and Heather McDougall host a monthly check-in with each program group to answer any additional or new questions, and ensure that every participant is on track for continued success. 

An integral part of our “village” is the McDougall Program’s community which helps you live your best life. You’ll meet new friends from all over the world, make connections that may last a lifetime and support each other during one of the most important times of your life.

*Additional medical appointments can easily be made with an additional charge.
