Walt Stoll, M.D. and Jan DeCourtneyOur Mission: To improve individuals’ lives through health education, providing lasting and inexpensive solutions for disease reversal through self-care and healthy lifestyle support (taking into account that conventional medical evaluation may be needed).
Our Proposed Goals:
- Educate individuals to improve their health condition through learning the 3LS Wellness Program and other safe, natural means of health improvement and treatment
- Help and guide people who are uninsured and those who fall through the cracks of the health care system to find resources to help themselves
- Provide no cost wellness help, via Dr. Stoll’s website bulletin board
- Support the availability of 100% whole foods products everywhere
- Promote whole foods labeling on packages
- Educate practitioners to practice holistically and to guide their clients/patients towards natural health
- Other projects as we are able
Our short- and long-term outcomes are to help individuals’ lives through health education. Another long-term outcome is to create greater accessibility of healthy foods and other resources.
Our clients are people worldwide with chronic symptoms, pain, or illness who are seeking alternatives to drugs and surgery. Many have already benefited from Dr. Stoll’s website and books. The trend towards more chronic illness is growing, so there is a growing need for this project, both in the United States and abroad.
About the Foundation: The Stoll Foundation for Holistic Health was founded in 2008 by Jan DeCourtney, C.M.T., who recovered from a debilitating chronic illness by following guidance from Walt Stoll, M.D. to practice the 3LS Wellness Program and use other holistic healing methods. We follow Dr. Stoll’s teaching and guidance, and believe the combination of allopathic and alternative medicines is the health care of the future.
Our people: The Stoll Foundation is powered solely by volunteers, with Jan DeCourtney, C.M.T. serving as the managing director. See more about our people below.
Funding: The Stoll Foundation for Holistic Health relies solely upon public donations and our own fundraising efforts.

About Our People
Our volunteer staff is:
Walt Stoll, MD., Initiator and Medical Director: Dr. Stoll is a holistic health educator who has practiced for more than 30 years as a board-certified family practitioner. He is host of the popular holistic website www.askwaltstollmd.com and author of several books on holistic health. “I had 10 years of experience practicing conventional medicine and just prescribing pills, seeing as many patients as I could squeeze in. When I started practicing holistic medicine complementary to my conventional practice, I spent a lot more time with each patient trying to get them to understand how they could help themselves. During my last 20 years of really being a healer, I was the busiest physician in our small town. Now, after practicing both conventional and alternative medicines: I know of only very rare conventional treatments that can cure chronic conditions. I know of no complementary approaches that help acute problems, and I know lots of complementary approaches that help chronic problems. 85% of health conditions can be best addressed by the 3LS Wellness Program, whereas the other 15% are best treated by a complementary approach. ” Since retiring from active practice, Dr. Stoll spends his time helping people understand how to help themselves, by means of his website bulletin board, at www.askwaltstollmd.com. His books are available in public libraries, through most bookstores, amazon.com, and through Stoll Foundation’s publisher, sunrisehealthcoach.com.
