You're likely thinking of The Road to Wellville, a 1994 comedy with Matthew Broderick, Bridget Fonda, John Cusack, Dana Carvey, and Anthony Hopkins (not Lloyd Bridges) as Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. Dr. K believed that the body could be purged of unhealthy toxins and impulses by a regimen of diet, exercise and enemas—and cereal made from grains, which became the cornerstone of the Kellogg empire in the early 1900s.
