The Pritikin Program is based on 30 years of scientific research, and validated in more than 100 clinical studies.
The Pritikin Program has helped thousands worldwide achieve healthy, long-term weight loss; reduce virtually all heart disease risk factors, including cholesterol, triglycerides, inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein, and insulin levels; double the effectiveness of statin therapy; lower blood pressure; control diabetes; reduce or eliminate medications; eliminate the need for angioplasty and heart bypass surgery; relieve angina (chest) pain; and reduce key risk factors for breast, colon, and prostate cancer.
In just three weeks, men at the Pritikin resort reduced oxidative stress, controlled blood pressure, lowered cholesterol by an average of 19%, and reduced insulin levels by 46%, significantly reducing their risk of heart disease
(Circulation, 106: 2530. 2002)
The Pritikin Program will also help you restore your energy and strength, and what a wonderful feeling that is! You'll look and feel healthier, happier, and younger. Says Pritikin alumnus William Friedman, M.D., of St. Louis, Missouri, "Since I've started the Pritikin Program, friends are constantly coming up to me and saying, 'You look great! What are you on? Viagra?' I laugh and reply, 'No! I'm on Pritikin!'" Based on 30 years of scientific research and validated by more than 100 clinical studies, the Pritikin Program can provide dramatic results in just a few weeks.
The Pritikin Program is not a gimmicky diet. Far from it. We offer a sound, science-based integrated approach that combines lifestyle education, structured exercise, and healthy eating that focuses on natural, nutrient-rich, high-fiber foods. And unlike a diet, once you begin to experience the benefits of the Pritikin Program, you will want to stay on it for life!
At the Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa, a team of doctors, dietitians, and exercise physiologists works individually with guests to customize the Pritikin Program to fit personal lifestyles. No other diet-and-exercise program has been more closely studied by the scientific community, or has achieved such phenomenal success in helping people renew their health and overcome:
- Heart Disease
- Type 2 Diabetes
- High Blood Pressure
- Elevated Cholesterol
- Overweight
- Women's Health Issues
- Cancer
- Arthritis
- Stress
- Smoking

reversal diet? I am a 1989 alumnus.and still remember the "reversal diet in vogue then, is there a later iteration with updated science? By the way I did reverse my disease the first time but I went off the diet when I had other medical problems and so I need to do it again. Thanks John |
