Physician. Author. Visionary in Reversing Diabesity.

Meet Dona Cooper-Dockery, MD, PA

I became a doctor because I couldn’t stand to see people suffer from diseases that could be prevented or even reversed.

Over more than 30 years of practicing medicine, I’ve seen far too many people weighed down by diabetes, obesity, and chronic illness — believing their best health was behind them.

I made it my life’s mission to prove otherwise. Today, I help people around the world understand that diabetes and obesity are not life sentences. They are signals—calls for change that, when answered with the right knowledge and support, can lead to vibrant, lasting health.

My Approach

Treat the Cause, Not the Symptoms

As a board-certified internal medicine physician, I began my career focused on traditional medicine — diagnosing, prescribing, and managing disease.

But I quickly realized that managing symptoms wasn’t enough.

Too many of my patients were returning every few months with more medications and fewer results. I wanted to give them hope and real healing.

That realization led me to build Cooper Wellness Center, where I combine evidence-based medicine with lifestyle transformation.

Here, we address diabesity—the intertwined relationship between diabetes and obesity—by getting to the root: how people eat, think, move, and live.

When you focus on the cause, not just the condition, the body knows how to heal.

My Mission

Reversing Diabesity, Restoring Lives

Every day, i help my patients and clients:

Lower Blood Sugar Naturally

Without extreme dieting or deprivation.

Lose Weight Sustainably

While building energy and confidence.

Reduce Dependence on Medication

By addressing the habits that fuel disease.

Reclaim Hope and Vitality

Through structure, faith, and education.

Beyond the Clinic

In addition to patient care, I’ve devoted my life to teaching others how to take control of their health through books, programs, and education.

I’ve authored several resources—including 14 Days to Amazing Health, Get Healthy for Life, Incredibly Delicious Vegan Recipes, and the Undo series—that simplify the science of healing and show practical ways to live disease-free.

Through my MyBestHealthPal App, speaking engagements, and international workshops, I continue to share this message globally:

“You can reverse disease and your body can heal — if you give it what it needs.”

Faith, Healing, and Purpose

I believe true health is a blend of science and spirit. My own faith is the foundation of my work—it keeps me grounded in compassion and guided by purpose. Healing the body begins with restoring the mind and nourishing the soul. That’s why every patient interaction, program, and book I create carries one core message: Healing begins when we choose to believe that we can be well.
