Our Story Begins

The Doctors Answer® Programs have their beginning in clinical research performed at Harbor/UCLA Medical Center in the early 1980’s. Doctors there were working with a group of hospital patients with type 2 diabetes who were referred to as the “300 Club” because they all weighed over 300 pounds and all had cholesterol and blood sugar readings over 300.

The Discovery

While in the hospital under medical supervision, “300 Club” patients were put on a very low calorie protein sparing (i.e., conserving muscle tissue) liquid fast. The doctors discovered 80–85% of these patients experienced a complete end to their insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes within 3-4 weeks.

The doctors also noted other positive health changes, such as: lowered cholesterol and blood pressure; lessening of hip, knee and back pain; reduction or elimination of GERD, snoring, sleep apnea; and improved cardiovascular functioning.

The Right Balance

The key was finding just the right balance of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and other trace elements to keep the body healthy and running smoothly while receiving a very limited number of calories.

The result of this work was the basis for the MNP Supplement formulation used in all the Doctors Answer® Programs.

Next Steps

One of the “300 Club” clinical researchers, a board certified endocrinologist specializing in metabolic diseases, decided to bring the protein sparing fasting model into his private practice as a new resource. His overweight patients not only rapidly and safely lost weight, but also experienced health benefits similar to those of patients in the research study.

The endocrinologist was very pleased with the improvements in the health of his patients. However, over time he noted that many tended to put weight back on. Obviously, there was a piece of the puzzle missing.

The Missing Piece

Doctors Answer® consulted with a PhD in clinical psychology with over twenty-five years’ experience treating the psychological reasons behind obesity. This clinical psychologist provided the unique insight and understanding which is now the foundation for the psychological component of the Doctors Answer® Programs.

Together, these two doctors (the endocrinologist and the clinical psychologist) designed an innovative and effective program. The Doctors Answer® Programs available today are their answer – the Doctors Answer – to treating the problem of obesity.
