"It all started with one guy who heard something that made a lot of sense,

In 2001, Brian Wendel attended a conference on nutrition. There, a plant-based expert made a compelling enough argument that a Staten Island boy raised on pizza and roast beef decided to go all in on plant foods. He had no idea it would forever alter the course of his life.

Over the next eight years, Brian immersed himself in the lifestyle, learning about the disease-reversing power of a plant-based diet. The evidence was strong, yet the overwhelming majority of the population had no idea that this simple change could have such a drastic impact. Brian wanted to reach as many people as possible with this information, so in 2009, he began work on a documentary film." Forks Over Knives

"Dr. John McDougall is a physician, speaker, and best-selling author who teaches the importance of a whole-food, starch-based diet that halts, reverses and heals chronic disease. He started as a doctor who noticed his patients weren’t improving despite all the medical assistance he provided. That’s when Dr. McDougall discovered the power of a proper diet." Dr. McDoughall

"The Physicians Committee combines the clout and expertise of more than 17,000 physicianswith the dedicated actions of nearly one million members and supporters worldwide. 

The Physicians Committee is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, headquartered in Washington, DC. Our efforts are dramatically changing the way doctors treat chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and cancer. By putting prevention over pills, doctors are empowering their patients to take control of their own health.

And we are also building a new way of viewing research. Since 1985, the Physicians Committee has worked tirelessly for alternatives to the use of animals in medical education and research and for more effective scientific methods.

Our staff of physicians, dietitians, and scientists is working with policymakers, industry, the medical community, the media, and the public to create a better future for people and animals.

Mission

The Physicians Committee is dedicated to saving and improving human and animal lives through plant-based diets and ethical and effective scientific research.

Vision

Creating a healthier world in which health and compassion are central values in science and medicine." Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
