Thank you, Chef AJ. Thank you so much for this wonderful tribute to Dr. McDougall! You were both so lucky to know each other. You could tell from all the times he was on your show how much he admired, respected, and loved you. I have followed Dr.M since one if his early books, but thanks to you and your show, we all got to really know him on a deeper level than just a doctor who wrote health books!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mizzounyc]

This is so sweet of you to organize this beautiful tribute.❤

[@LenkaSaratoga]

Dear Chef AJ Thank you for bringing people together. Dr McDougall would have appreciated all these esteemed colleagues and dear friends getting together to share their memories, and it truly was magical! It was a great idea to do it live, so people feel each other’s presence. I was fortunate to attend it live and right after I’ve steamed potatoes in honor of our beloved Doctor McDougall 🥔🥔🥔🥔

[@CHEFAJ]

Our pleasure!

[@kentroskelley1389]

Dr Esselstyn said it well. Dr John McDougall did not die, he is alive through his work! What a force of nature. His parents taught him to tell the true, and he followed their council. Chef AJ, we know you have a special place in your heart for Dr McDougall and his family and you in their hearts. Thank you for your time and energy arranging all the memories by these wonderful friends and colleagues of John McDougall who loved his family and mankind and touched countless lives for good. His favorite mantra so simple yet so profound “It’s The Food!!!”

[@katymeigs5290]

Thank you very much! Loved to hear from my heroes about another hero.

[@expecttothrive]

Dr. McDougall was my unmet mentor. My life/health changed because of his teaching. I am forever grateful, and his teaching will live on forever ❤

[@kentroskelley1389]

I have a strong feeling one reason Dr McDougall was so caring of his patients and mankind was because he had experienced real pain and suffering from the stroke he had at such a young age. He empathized with those who came to him wanting to be healed , not to be put on meds for the rest of their lives. He gave them hope and encouragement and a way to accomplish their health goals of a quality life.

[@wtillett243]

This is like an international memorial service we can all attend. Thank you!

[@TedGeiss]

Thank you Chef AJ for bringing this group of my heroes together. A beautiful tribute to Dr. McDougall.

[@tucwebb]

Not a dry eye in the house - so true. Dr. McDougall had, and still has, a very large presence in my life. I think about everything I put in my mouth and whether Dr. McDougall would approve. I do my best to share his teachings when people ask. As an RN I have many opportunities to educate patients and I always talk to them about Dr. McDougall, I reference his books, and discuss my experiences, including the first online 12 day program which I participated in. Dr. McDougall lives on - I don’t think there is a day goes by where I don’t think about something he taught me, a recipe from Mary, or something I need to share with my children, grandchildren, family members, friends, and patients. Thank you AJ for this ❤

[@hankhardisty9433]

A very lovely tribute from friends and colleagues. Thank you, AJ, for putting this together and presenting it to us!

[@ingridneugebauer7562]

Thank you all so very much for this beautiful tribute to a great Doctor. I miss Dr McDougall so very much 😢 I will honour him by continuing to eat WFPB and care for our animals, the planet, and each other 🙏💚

[@vi3472]

Beautiful tribute to our dear, beloved Dr McDougall. I loved Dr Lederman’s comments. Thank you, Chef AJ. ❤❤❤

[@CHEFAJ]

Our pleasure!

[@metchosinite]

Thank you so much Chef AJ for arranging this. So wonderful to see a conglomeration of all the doctors I admire. I am sure Dr. McDougall was so pleased with this tribute as well as his family.❤

[@WalkawayyyRenee]

They say that some people are born into greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. I believe John McDougall was destined to be great, and he embraced it, while never quite stopping to admire his own greatness, either. He was busy spreading the truth. He spread his message of a starch based way of eating with the passion of a firefighter running headlong into a burning building. For that, I will always be grateful.

[@CHEFAJ]

Well said! ♥️

[@chrismurrell1102]

Very nice tributes. I’ll always remember that when I decided to become plant based I was cleaning my house and found Dr McDougalls book before I even understood what plant based was. He planted a seed that stuck with me and bought me back. That has been about 15 years ago.

[@lanilok3696]

❤ Thank you, AJ for this wonderful tribute to Dr. John McDougall. Whenever I feel the threat of eating the wrong food, I watch any of his videos which convinces me to continue the Starch Diet. I believe I am still here at 86 because of him. God Bless everyone and his family.

[@samjones7038]

Wonderful, thank you so much chef AJ for your hard work. This was a great tribute to a very great man. Rest in heaven dear Dr John, the world was very lucky to have you ❤❤❤❤❤❤🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔😘

[@dancingonhands]

Oh my, this was OUTSTANDING. Every single person’s words were so meaningful, so eloquent. And Jeff Nelson’s montage had me in tears. So beautiful, so emotional.🥹 Thank you, Chef AJ and everyone!!🙏🏻💗

[@showmemovegan]

Thank you Chef AJ for bringing everyone together to honor Dr. McDougall. I loved your tribute with Dr. Niki Davis, and this one was so lovely as well. It's so moving to see the profound effect he had on his colleagues. I love how so many of them said they often think "What would Dr. McDougall do?" It gives me hope that his work will indeed continue to live on. ❤🥔

[@theresaboudreau2206]

My condolences to his family and friends. He's left such a wealth of information he will long be remembered.

[@pennyrowe201]

Thank you for this very moving tribute.

[@Irondo11]

It's only because of you that I know Dr. McDougall well, because you'd invite him to your show; I still have him scheduled for first Mondays. The first time I met him was at Jeff and Sabrina's LA event 2003. On the panel, he became argumentative with T. Colin Campbell after the Cambell said he ate chicken once in awhile. From then on, I thought Dr M was scary....lol but I loved him and cherished seeing him; he felt like a friend. 😢 I was berft with heartache and tears after the announcement of his death that awful Monday. Thank you for this memorial❤ Much love, Pat G.

[@BestofMusic60s]

Have so many friends alive today after being introduced and following The MacDougall Plan. May his influence live forever, as I already miss him. Great mentor for my life and so many others.

[@robmiller6890]

My wife went to Santa Rosa, with her mother. At the end of the 12 day event, he gave everyone a ‘starchivore’ t-shirt. There was just one catch: they only came in ‘small’. 😊

[@errickawillard9614]

Thank you, Chef Aj, for this wonderful tribute and to everyone who told their stories about Dr. McDougall. My only regret is that I didn't get to meet him personally. He was such an incredible inspiration. For me, he was a source of hope to begin taking steps in another direction, understanding that I may not be liked for it, but to be ok with being bold and do it anyway. It doesn't matter where you are. Just begin and start to heal your life. I don't feel shame when I mess up, I stop and think about it, and find out where I can do better. Thank you to Dr. McDougall for being a person that recognized we are real people. Who do want better for ourselves. Thank you again, Chef AJ and friends ❤️ 💙

[@dikediora_mma]

Thanks for this and all our esteemed lifestyle coaches. Condolences to his family.

Amazing tribute! God bless all the doctors and Dr. McDougall ❤.

[@NancyGreer]

Chef AJ - Thank you so much for this lovely tribute to the amazing Dr. McDougall. I followed him for decades through his books, his videos, and his web site. I always appreciated the love & gratitude he had for his wife. It was so great to get to know him more through your many interviews, Chef AJ, and through this tribute. His powerful message lives on. #itsthefood! #peopleliketoheargoodnewsabouttheirbadhabits

[@maria.hartUK]

Thank you for bringing us together, sending love to all

[@ClassicAudiobooksInspirations]

I hate it when these guys die young. Why couldn't he live to 200 years, sharing his wealth of information??? Well, that is my selfish thought! Thanks be to God for all the videos books and programs he created for the benefit of humanity. Condolences to the family. God bless the family!

[@Marilyn7733]

Thank you Chef AJ for organizing this beautiful tribute celebrating the life of Dr McDougall. My heartfelt condolences to his family. Though I never had the privilege of meeting him, he touched and changed my life as he did for thousands of others. The legacy lives on. ❤

Ty Chef AJ for a this amazing tribute ❤ Dr McDougall is truly missed by me. My wish and dream is for one of you incredible plant based doctors who’s all spoken here today to please come open a Center here in Perth Australia I’m in the country but close enough to Perth! We have NOTHING here and it’s VERY MUCH NEEDED TY❤

Thanks ❤

[@spoudaois4535]

Wonderful celebration! His ideas really make Vegan nutrition sustainable and enjoyable. I've learned so much from his many interesting lectures. Although I'm a Urologist, mostly Pediatric, I teach my patients and families low fat starch based nutrition.

[@justeatplantsnike]

Thanks, Chef Aj, and all these wonderful people for honoring the legend!

[@jenny-leighparmley6094]

Thank-you , to all the speakers and Chef AJ . Those of us that loved and admired Dr McDougall needed this to help us with our painful feelings of loss.

[@jennoonan4572]

Thank you so much for this Chef AJ. It means so much that you put this together. I, and many others, appreciate you.

[@thisanyfitlife912]

Aj you are just so amazing pulling everyone together. You are a shining starfish, for sure! I choked up several times during this tribute, as I felt like Dr. M was someone I knew for SO many years just through all the videos he had out there and all the times he was on your show as well. I can only imagine how you feel since you were friends, but I still can't believe he is gone and I'm just a little person on the internet who was so inspired by his truth. Thank you, Thank you

[@anabaez21]

Thank you kindly for arranging this Chef AJ! I have learned so much watching your channel and I can truly say Dr. McDougall saved my life! I love you all!

Thank you Chef AJ and all of the greats that spoke in honor of the wonderful Dr. McDougall and his family…he will be missed but his legacy continues on❤️

[@mikefixac]

Thank you so much AJ. If you judge a man just by his friends, Dr. McDougall surrounded himself with the best. I wish Jeff Novick and Doug Lisle could have chimed in. But so inspiring, deep appreciation.

[@narelled159]

Thank you for putting together this wonderful tribute. I knew he was an amazing man just from watching his interviews but it was really brought home hearing so many of his peers tell their experiences of how he mentored, encouraged and helped anyone who asked for his advice and assistance without wanting anything in return. A truly remarkable man who will be missed by so many people some of whom he helped without him even knowing, like myself.

[@Lady_Clare4]

Thanks to all of you❤🌹! Dr, John McDougall changed many lives!!!

[@aquamarine0023]

Chef AJ, thank you so much to you for this wonderful heartfelt tribute. Dr. McDougall changed my life. I battled an eating disorder for decades and many health problems. Learning the Starch Solution science that Drm McDougall developed cured my issues. Dr. McDougall was a true HERO who cared so much about helping people he was willing to stand up to the Goliath conventional drug-based medical system.

[@dynamiclean]

GOD BLESS Dr. McDougall! I learned a lot about the health benefits of a plant based diet! I'm glad I decided not to go to Medical school even though I had straight A's and was educated in Biochemistry. His Greatness is written in us! What a Blessing he was and is!

[@tlam3309]

This just shows how the plant based doctors are the real deal - such kind and caring people - with Dr. McDougall having led the way. I particularly enjoyed Dr Klaper's eloquent tribute. Thank you.

[@Adeline9418]

I ust found out. He was so awesome!! God bless him.

May God Bless You So, So Much for all the great, great value you add to our world . . . and so much more . . . 🥰🥰🥰 (for what it's worth, YT has, again for the umpteenth time, unsubscribed me from your channel) . . . ooooh, one more thing....I can't wait to receive my book of yours, "Sweet Indulgence" 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you kindly!

[@g.e.boroush5176]

Dr. McDougall has changed the world. He planted a seed who's rizomes have taken hold and are spreading throughout the world. He has unleashed a great truth and the world will be a better place for it. His deep anger unleashed his deep caring and love and we are all, now, the recipients of that. We are so lucky. I am so grateful. I love you John McDougall. What a guy!!! And, ps, he got more handsome as he aged, what a fox! I think I'll go drown my sorrows in a big bowl of mashed potatoes.

[@peternaumcevski7344]

This was a great tribute to the great dr mcdougall. Thanks again for doing this for an amazing person and family. I was just disappointed at the guests that you had for him all because of one reason. They don’t promote the diet of which dr mcdougall has been doing for 50yrs. He promotes a STARCH based diet not a plant based one. This scares me because I 🎉believe this simple msg will be lost to history. No doctor promotes this at all. None of them. It’s sad. Dr rogers does. He understands this basic truth. This is no fault of yours chef aj as I know you definitely understand the starch msg but they don’t. My heart goes out to the family of dr mcdougall. I hope we see things in the future coming from them too.

[@blee309]

Unfortunate that Dr. Greger and Dr. Fuhrman couldn't participate! What they do they learned because of the great Dr. McDougall.

[@bob19724]

what about Jeff Novick?

[@marinagerber9121]

He was one of the first people who did bring a tribute.​@@bob19724

[@tageulefeinberg2539]

What did Dr McDougall die of? It feels as though they're trying to keep it a secret.

[@11235Aodh]

He died exactly as he said long term whole foods plant exclusive low fat eaters die, peacefully in his sleep. Sometimes the body is just done and with him having had a severe stroke at 18 it's pretty much a miracle to even have lived active and sharp of mind and wits for another 59 years.
