Joel Rauchwerger Ph.D.
Dr. Joel Rauchwerger, former faculty at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, is a popular lecturer on preventative medicine, a scholar across many fields of science, and an athlete. He has had a lifelong interest in how to use fiber-rich, nutrient-dense foods and simple lifestyle changes to strengthen the Immune System and help prevent, reduce, or reverse many health and mental health problems. Dr. Rauchwerger is known for practicing what he preaches. He has not been sick, not even a common cold, in more than 50-years.
Fifty years ago, Dr. Rauchwerger received a fellowship from the National Institute of Health to fund his research at Baylor College of Medicine in the field in bone marrow transplantation. In 1974, he made a major medical breakthrough. His research showed that there was a genetic resistance by bone marrow transplant patients to having a transplant, such as a heart transplant. His report was well received by a panel of world experts in the field and his future in that specialized field of medicine looked bright.
However, his breakthrough research, which is still referenced to today in the medical literature, drove him to focus on a bigger vision of human health and pursue a career in preventative medicine. Instead of focusing on how to achieve a successful heart transplant, he decided to expand his understanding of food and lifestyle change that could prevent a person from having a heart attack, or other, preventable deadly disease, in the first place.
Dr Rauchwerger continued his research at Baylor College of Medicine and as a faculty member he used his vast medical knowledge to train future doctors and nurses. His teaching style was popular with medical students. There was a two-year waiting list to get into his classes.
In addition to serving on the faculty, Dr Rauchwerger also worked with well-known, world-famous cardiologist and heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey. He was also invited to join the team of medical doctors who worked on the case of the “Baby in the Bubble,†in which a baby named David, was born without an immune system. David’s life story was later made into a movie starring John Travolta.
Today, what makes Dr. Rauchwerger unique in the field of whole-body health is his vast knowledge of science, medicine, brain function, nutrition, biochemistry and psychology, as well as the fundamentals of basic, good digestion, the microbiome, a ketogenic lifestyle, human psychology, stress management and biofeedback.
A lifelong athlete, he has also developed an innovative, all ages, workout program called the 640 Workout. It’s a 10-minute, whole body exercise program that exercises all 640-muscles in the body, including the GUT and the heart.
In collaboration with Alexia Parks, Dr Rauchwerger has produced a 10-part medical library, 75 short, educational videos, and numerous books that focus on self-care. Each offers a whole-body approach to health and mental health and wellbeing, and is told with the skills of a scholar, educator and master storyteller.
