| Happy new year! We did it, we made it through 2020. Though it’s been a truly unprecedented year with many challenges we’ve learned from, these are the successes we’re celebrating: We completely pivoted our family business due to Covid. After 34 years of in-person programs, we successfully transitioned the McDougall Program to be 100% online. Participants of our online 12-Day McDougall Program have lost weight, reduced their medications and are feeling good again. Though we’ve been doing this for many years, seeing the transformation of our patients is still the best part of our jobs! Our Foundation has received the same level of support as the previous year which is phenomenal considering everything that is going on. This community is so special and we cannot thank you enough for your help in educating future medical doctors and performing life-saving medical research. In 2021, we’re looking forward to: Interactive webinars with John McDougall, MD and Anthony Lim, MD, JD when we’ll answer your most commonly asked questions. Growing our community on Instagram - I’ve been having a lot of fun seeing everyone’s delicious starch-based recipes, receiving messages and connecting with everyone there. Upcoming weekend events - starting next weekend with a free event on how a plant-based diet is key in helping our climate and future generations. Mark your calendars for January 9 and watch for more information coming soon. Everyone here on the McDougall Team is looking forward to this new year and though we’re not past this storm just yet, there is much to look forward to. |
