About the Foundation
Welcome to The Nicholas Gonzalez Foundation a 501 (c) 3 non-profit foundation.
Our foundation continues Dr. Gonzalez’s belief in a proactive pursuit of vitality and in the body’s natural self-healing ability.
Since 1987 in his private practice in New York City, Dr. Gonzalez provided individualized nutritional regimens for many types of cancer as well as other illnesses such as Lyme, allergies, autoimmune disorders and chronic fatigue.
Nick’s wife, Mary Beth, founded The Nicholas Gonzalez Foundation. Our Foundation Board consists of physicians, an award-winning marketer, an educational research professional, successful business executives and devoted patients of Dr. Gonzalez.
We will keep the brilliant, healing work of Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez alive today and for generations to come and invite YOU to join us by becoming part of this movement.
We are designing a training program for practitioners in The Gonzalez Protocol® along with the tools to help them succeed. We are planning scientific studies to further test the protocol and are investigating several contemporary, diagnostic tools to determine metabolic typing for designing customized diet and supplement programs.
For this important work, we seek your support to keep his legacy alive as we strive to spread his work to the international health community and medical schools.

On an informal basis, Dr. Gonzalez and Mary Beth often discussed the importance of sustaining The Gonzalez Protocol® and the business challenges of running a single practitioner office of alternative medicine.
