Prescribed to death
How I got off five medications and saved my life
Doug Morneau’s life is a vivid testament to the transformative power of resilience and self-advocacy in the face of health adversity.
At twenty-eight, teetering on the edge of a health crisis with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a looming diabetic diagnosis, Doug’s bustling life as a professional and community leader in Vancouver, Canada, began to crumble under the weight of his deteriorating health.
Despite his achievements, Doug was ensnared in a cycle of medication for hypertension, cholesterol, and sleep apnea, which dictated the rhythm of his daily life.
The turning point came when Doug chose to seize control of his health narrative, embarking on an eighteen-month odyssey that saw him shed eighty pounds, liberate himself from five medications, and relinquish his CPAP machine.
This journey was not merely about losing weight or coming off medication; it was a profound transformation that reshaped Doug from a medicated individual to an athlete in peak condition, illustrating the profound impact of personal accountability in health.
“Prescribed to Death” is Doug’s candid memoir, offering not just a recount of his journey but serving as a beacon of hope and a manual for those yearning to escape the medication maze and reclaim their health.
Now an author, health advocate, and inspirational speaker, Doug’s mission is to empower others with the courage to transform their health destinies. His story, grounded in authenticity and relatability, positions him as a pivotal figure in health and lifestyle transformation advocacy.
Doug Morneau’s narrative is a compelling call to action, challenging the status quo of conventional medical treatment and proving that with determination, informed knowledge, and the courage to question, reclaiming one’s health and vitality is within reach.
