"I think all my patients would benefit from a trip to the Pritikin Longevity Center. The Center is not just a diet program; it's a longevity program that provides an eye-opening education on nutrition and health...It was striking to me how much I personally learned at Pritikin about nutrition. I have no doubt whatsoever that if you follow the principles you learn there, you will live longer, you will live better, and you will consider it one of the best investments you have ever made."

RICHARD SHULDINER, D.O.

Corona, California

"When I was 45, I had a stress test and found out that I had coronary artery disease. My cardiologist recommended immediate bypass surgery, but I didn't want surgery. I went to Pritikin instead. That was 12 years ago. I've never needed bypass surgery."

"So, what has the Pritikin Program meant to me? My Pritikin lifestyle has kept me alive! Before Pritikin, my cholesterol was 360. After Pritikin, it was 130, and it's still 130. That speaks pretty loudly."

"One of the best pieces of advice any internist or surgeon can give to their patients at risk for heart disease, diabetes, hypertension or obesity is to go to the Pritikin Longevity Center. With all the fad diets and high-fat myths, it can get confusing, but the Pritikin Program has been the most scientifically proven method for over 30 years to prevent these diseases in the first place, or to help reverse them and avoid additional problems. The Pritikin Program is now easy to follow in the real world and it works long term. I have recommend the Pritikin Program to my patients with great confidence for over 25 years - the results have been fabulous."

Family Medicine

"Just before going to Pritikin, I was 160 pounds and a size 12. Today, I'm 128 pounds and a size 6. I'm also off all my cholesterol medications. I feel 100% better, I have lots of energy, and I'm more efficient at work. I wish I could put all my patients on a plane to Pritikin. There's no better way to teach my patients how to live a long, healthy, and happy life."
