Dr. Alan Goldhamer is one of the world’s foremost experts on medically supervised water fasting. In 1984, he founded the TrueNorth Health Center in Santa Rosa, California and since then, Dr. Goldhamer has overseen the fasting and care of more than 20,000 patients.
TrueNorth Health Center is the largest facility in the world specializing in medically supervised water-only fasting and is one of the premier training facilities for doctors to gain certification in the supervision of therapeutic fasting.
