How does a group program work?

You will join a Zoom meeting with Dr. Donohue like any other telehealth visit. Other participants will join as well. You can share your insights and questions with the group, and learn from Dr. Donohue and the other participants.

What are advantages and disadvantages of a group program?

You will not have as much personalized attention as you would at a 1-on-1 medical visit. But Dr. Donohue will have time to provide very deep education and science, and advanced testing, that are not currently possible in a traditional 1-on-1 office visit. Most people find the interaction with other participants to be exciting and helpful.

What additional optional services will you offer?

• FREE: Join Dr. Donohue and other participants on Saturday April 22 for an Earth Day tree planting and park cleanup followed by a 1-mile walk in the park.

• FREE: Join Dr. Donohue and other participants on Sunday April 23 at 5:30 PM for a free healthy “Unity Soup” meal for World Food Healers Day.

• $$: TOTALLY OPTIONAL: You can choose to get advanced blood testing from Boston Heart Lab before and after, on a host of important health measures. Science has moved on from 50+ years ago when the current lipid profile and basic metabilic panel were discovered. The advanced blood testing will include actionable, modern markers of health, including Lp(a), ApoE genotype, ApoB, omega-3 panel, advanced inflammatory markers, a marker of vascular health, and more. This may or may not be covered by your health insurance. Insurance often covers this testing, but you should be prepared to pay hundreds of dollars if they do not.

• $149: To enhance your success and your health, you can choose to participate in a 5-day group fast, with the scientifically proven Fasting Mimicking Diet. Cost to the manufacturer is approximately $149.
