About Dr Doug English & Turmeric Life

About Dr Doug English
Australian veterinarian and scientist of over 50 years, Dr Doug began offering natural solutions to his veterinary clients, including Turmeric.
Clients noticed repeated success with Dr Doug's turmeric solutions, leading to a surge in demand for his turmeric products, and the founding of Turmeric Life in 2016.
Combining traditional knowledge and modern research, Dr Doug is dedicated to improving health and reducing disease in both animals and people worldwide. Through the provision of natural, science-backed, food-source supplements, Dr Doug is changing lives.
A Practical Approach
Dr Doug experimented with the famous Golden Paste recipe; a combination of ingredients trusted by many cultures over thousands of years. He shared his discoveries by establishing the Original Turmeric User Group on Facebook, where group members share real-life experiences with turmeric.
After more than a decade of recommending Golden Paste to clients, Dr Doug witnessed its positive impact on various chronic-inflammatory conditions, including arthritis. The collective testimonials of our community members further validated Turmeric’s many other benefits.
A Growing Community
Dr Doug's OTUG community has grown from a small group to nearing 300,000 dedicated members. To accommodate the growing demand for information, the Turmeric Life website is a centralised platform for people in search of reliable information; it's curated a collection of articles and insights based on the experiences of thousands of individuals who have incorporated turmeric into their lives.
Incorporating Turmeric Into Your Diet
In most cases, Dr Doug advises against the use of turmeric and/or curcumin capsules, pills, supplements, tonics or drinks. There is a valid place for curcumin supplements in very few, limited situations. Turmeric capsules may be a source of turmeric when the more effective Golden Paste isn't feasible. However, many of these products are expensive, with disputable claims and little, to no, scientific evidence. Most of these products are poorly absorbed, and some contain honey or other sweeteners that add no benefit and may provoke inflammation, illness and pain, as opposed to reducing these conditions.
Get the authentic product: Turmeric is a plant. It is real food; Turmeric is not a drug. Turmeric is meant to be eaten as food, with food.
Our Mission
Dr Doug is dedicated to providing high-potency-curcumin Turmeric products. Join this journey and embrace the power of turmeric and its active ingredient, curcumin.
