“Stop Getting Annual Physicals!” – Dr. McDougall’s Surprising Advice

This is Jeff Nelson’s February 2025 newsletter, looking back at a 2012 discussion video. He is quoted as follows:

From The Archives: Plant-Based Experts Answer Your Questions (2012)

I recently came across a fascinating Q&A panel from our 2012 VegSource Healthy Lifestyle Expo featuring some of the pioneers in plant-based nutrition, including Drs. John McDougall and Michael Klaper, Brenda Davis RD, Rich Roll, John and Ocean Robbins, and Rev. Heng Sure. Here are some of the compelling topics they addressed:

Autism & Relationship-Based Approaches

A pediatrician asked about promising treatments for autism, specifically regarding eye contact improvements. The panel discussed relationship-based approaches like the Son-Rise Program as alternatives to behavioral modification, emphasizing how these principles could benefit all relationships.

B12 Supplementation

The experts discussed vitamin B12 recommendations, with consensus around supplementing with either 100 or 1000 mcg doses. Dr. McDougall emphasized that brand choice wasn’t critical, but proper dosing was key due to absorption rates.

Cancer & Diet

Dr. McDougall shared his groundbreaking 1982 study on dietary treatment of breast cancer. While noting that hardcore randomized controlled trial data is limited (largely due to funding priorities favoring drug research), he emphasized the logic of removing dietary factors that may have contributed to the cancer’s development.

Fruit Consumption

There was an interesting discussion about optimal fruit intake. Dr. McDougall recommended limiting to about three fresh fruits daily for the general population, while Brenda Davis shared that she personally consumes 5-6 servings daily. They cautioned against excessive fruit juice consumption and rapid smoothie consumption, suggesting taking time to properly chew and digest smoothies.

Raw Food Diets

The panel had a thought-provoking exchange about raw food diets. Dr. McDougall strongly advocated for cooked foods, stating that human civilization developed because of cooking. Brenda Davis suggested a more moderate approach, recommending 60-75% raw combined with some cooked foods for better nutrient absorption.

Annual Physical Exams

In a surprising take, Dr. McDougall strongly advised against routine annual physical exams, citing recommendations from medical authorities that they can lead to over-testing and unnecessary treatments. He emphasized that the body will signal when medical attention is needed.

The discussion highlighted how many of these topics remain relevant today, while also showing how our understanding has evolved over the past decade. It’s fascinating to look back at these conversations that helped shape the plant-based movement.
