State-Of-The-Art Diagnostic Testing of your Heart and Circulation
The newest, most scientifically advanced diagnostic tools can detect cardiovascular disease in its early stages, sometimes years before a heart attack or stroke occurs. These tools are now available at the Pritikin Longevity Center.
When it comes to heart disease, it’s what you don’t know that can hurt you.With the cardiovascular tests at Pritikin, you can actually see what your arteries look like.And your physician will utilize your tests’ results to prescribe the most appropriate intervention to minimize your risk of a heart attack or stroke in the future.
If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, we recommend you make an appointment with the Medical Department for diagnostic testing.
- Do you have a family history or personal history of cardiovascular disease (atherosclerosis or blocked arteries, angina, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, diabetes, or strokes)?
- Have you undergone bypass surgery or angioplasty? Or do you currently take medications to lower blood pressure, control blood sugar, or improve your cholesterol (lipid) profile?
- Do you have any of the following risk factors for cardiovascular disease: high cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood sugar, a history of cigarette smoking, hypertension, sleep apnea, or obesity?
Pritikin’s cardiovascular testing, which involves state-of-the-art vascular ultrasound technology, is noninvasive and completely safe.There is no risk, no pain, no radiation, no iodine, and no claustrophobic MRI experiences.The tests, completed within one hour, will provide you with sharp, exquisite images of your:
- Carotid arteries (the main arteries to your brain) to determine your blood flow pattern, revealing any narrowing or blockages, and if plaque is present;
- Beating heart, both its outside and internal muscle wall structure, to assess the presence and extent of valve leaks and valve narrowing;
- Abdominal aorta (the large artery that extends through the abdomen to the legs) to evaluate blood flow to intestines, liver, and kidneys, and if you have any plaque or aneurysms (ballooning sites in the arteries that have a tendency to rupture);
- Legs’ arteries (especially important for diabetics) to assess blood flow and identify plaques.
As a quality control measure to ensure proper interpretation of the vascular diagnostic testing, our experienced cardiologists work with an internationally renowned cardiovascular surgeon, previously director of the vascular lab at Miami Heart Institute.
There’s one more good reason to have diagnostic testing. It’s a real motivator. When you see the build-up of plaque in your own arteries, it fires you up, like never before, to exercise and eat well.
Testing starts at $180
IMT
IMT (intimal-medial thickness) is a safe, noninvasive ultrasound test recently endorsed by the American Heart Association,American College of Cardiology, and Screening for Heart Attack Prevention and Education as one of the best methods for early detection of cardiovascular disease.
IMT assesses the thickness and health of the inner wall of the carotid artery (the main artery leading to the brain). Viewing the inner arterial wall is critical because that’s where atherosclerosis, or heart disease, begins.
Numerous studies have shown that IMT testing can predict a patient’s risk of an acute coronary event, such as a heart attack, with a high degree of accuracy because a patient who has inflammation in the carotid artery tends to have inflammation in the coronary arteries as well.
At the Pritikin Longevity Center, many people track the health of their arteries year after year with the IMT testing they receive at Pritikin.
IMT testing is a real motivator, too. “I remember one guest, in particular, who was shocked when he saw his initial IMT image,” says scientist Jacques D. Barth, MD, PhD, who spearheaded the first clinical studies of IMT testing in the United States. “He was a Detroit businessman who smoked and ate a lot of garbage food. His IMT test showed a very large plaque as well as thickening of the inner wall of the artery, both precursors to a heart attack.”
He completely turned his life around and became a Pritikin devotee. One year later, he returned to Pritikin and had a second IMT. “He was thrilled at what he saw,” recalls Dr. Barth. “The plaque had disappeared, and the thickening had gone way down. His arteries looked 20 years younger, and he looked 20 years younger. He’d lost a lot of weight. He was the picture of health – both inside and out.”

DEXA Bone Density Testing
“Osteoporosis is relentless... early treatment will prevent bone loss.”
Osteoporosis, or bone loss, is characterized by thinning, brittle bones and deterioration of bone tissue, leading to an increased susceptibility to serious fractures of the hip, wrists, spine, and ribs.
Osteoporosis starts to accelerate at about age 45, and certain factors speed up this debilitating process even more. They include inactivity, smoking, alcohol drinking, excess salt intake, cola drinking, and animal protein intake, as well as certain illnesses.
Osteoporosis is often referred to as the “silent disease,” due to its development without signs or symptoms. Now, the doctors at the Pritikin Center have the most advanced technology for accurately revealing your risk of osteoporosis and serious fractures. It is called DEXA. No other kind of bone density test in the world can match DEXA for dependability and accuracy.
Standard x-rays do not detect osteoporosis until at least one-quarter of bone mass is already lost. By then, susceptibility to fracture already exists. DEXA detects as little as one percent of bone loss. It has also been proven safe and comfortable.
It is important to know your susceptibility to bone loss, especially if you have risk factors in addition to age. By accurately detecting osteoporosis with DEXA advanced technology, you and your doctor can take the right steps to treat the disease – before you’re at risk of fracture – as well as prevent further bone loss.

DEXA Body Composition Scan
Your weight as measured by the scale is far from the whole story. Get the whole story – a thorough analysis from head to toe of just how much body fat and muscle mass you have. It’s done with new advanced technology at Pritikin called the DEXA composition scan.
You need this vital information, especially if you’re overweight.The location of your body fat may be associated with risk of heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, metabolic syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, and complex migraine syndrome, and many of these conditions can be effectively treated by the Pritikin Program.
Plus, measuring pounds, and pounds alone, is simply inaccurate.While Body Mass Index (BMI) measurements comparing your height to your weight are accepted as the standard by many health organizations, recent research has shown that they misclassify weight-related health risk as often as one-quarter of the time because BMI measurements do not account for gaining weight in muscle instead of fat.Thus, a person who replaces 10 pounds of fat with 10 pounds of muscle would still have the same BMI – and the same weight on the scale.
The gold standard for helping you achieve your optimal body shape involves two new measurements: the percentage of body fat and percentage of lean muscle mass you have.With the Pritikin Program, you certainly lose fat. But just as importantly, you gain lean muscle mass.That’s critical because the more lean muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn – and the quicker you reach the leaner body you want. (More muscle mass means you look better, too – leaner, fitter, more toned.)
The DEXA body composition scan is also very motivating. Regardless of what the scale says, you know you’re on the right track.You can feel it, you can see it, and your DEXA results prove it.
“I couldn’t believe how much body fat I had lost – and in just two weeks,” says Michael Pouls of Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, who lost 78 pounds in the year after leaving Pritikin, dropping from a size 44 waist to a size 34. “My DEXA body composition scans gave me a tremendous ‘shot in the arm.’ I could see in black and white what a powerful effect the Pritikin Program was having on my body.”
An extra benefit: If you take the test close to your arrival and then repeat it at your departure, you’ll actually see the extraordinary effects of the Pritikin Program in each area of your body. Less fat and more muscle! What’s more, if you repeat the test during your stay, the second test is free.

Biomechanical and Musculoskeletal Evaluation (BME)
Knee, shoulder, or back pain? Old injury bothering you? Tired of “living with it”? Consulting with a highly experienced physical therapist may be just the answer to problems that get in the way of your exercise goals.
Your evaluation consists of two 1-hour sessions. In the first hour, the physical therapist will assess you, literally, from head to toe. It’s a complete biomechanical and musculoskeletal evaluation that analyzes your posture, alignment, gait, muscle
strength, range of motion, flexibility, and any pain or discomfort you feel in your daily activities - walking, reading, twisting, talking on the telephone, driving, computer work, sexual activity, yes, everything. Chances are, you’ve never before received such an extensive analysis of your body and its movements.
It’s an hour that will yield priceless dividends. From this evaluation, the physical therapist will write easy-to-follow personalized exercise recommendations, including photographs to use at Pritikin and take home with you.All are based on your unique biomechanical and muscular needs.All are designed to help you reach your fitness goals without injury - and without pain.
In the second hour, you will meet with your Pritikin exercise physiologist who will 1) make sure you’re performing every exercise movement correctly; and 2) design your daily fitness routine, with your personal goals, interests, and schedules in mind.
Your evaluation will help you:
- Address chronic discomfort/pain with therapeutic
- Decrease the stress on your body
- Improve functional strength
- Develop postural control
- Enhance the appearance of your muscles
- Build a stronger back
- Slow any degenerative process in your joints and muscles
- Overcome limitations so that you can do everything you want to do
- Increase range of motion and flexibility
Two sixty-minute sessions $285
Sleep Disorders Evaluation and Treatment
New research is finding that a good night’s sleep is vital for our hearts and overall health – and can even help us lose excess weight. A condition called obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA, is particularly harmful to the heart. With sleep apnea, you may transiently stop breathing during sleep, and it can happen multiple times in one night. Controlling sleep apnea has priceless benefits. It can help patients:
- Improve blood pressure
- Lower the risk of heart disease
- Improve diabetes control
- Lower the frequency and intensity of Migraine
- Prevent or relieve mood shifts and symptoms of depression
- Eliminate daytime fatigue
- Decrease or eliminate snoring
For your doctor to confirm a diagnosis of OSA, you would normally need to spend the night in a sleep clinic for testing.At Pritikin, overnight testing is conveniently set up in your hotel room.The test confirms the diagnosis and indicates possible treatment options.
Your Pritikin specialist may discover that your sleep disturbance is caused by something other than sleep apnea. Whatever the cause, the Sleep Disorders Evaluation and Treatment Program at Pritikin helps patients get to the root of their problem, whether medication-related or other factors, like restless leg syndrome – and get back to the many rewards of a long, restful night’s sleep.
Fees depend on the diagnosis.
Personalized Metabolic Rate Testing (RMR)
Having trouble losing weight? It could be your resting metabolic rate, or RMR. People
often casually throw about guesses about their “fast” or “slow” metabolism. Now no more guessing is necessary. Your RMR is the number of calories your body naturally burns every day with little or no activity. Everyone’s resting metabolic rate is different. Everyone’s. One 5’5” 160-pound woman, for example, may have an RMR of 1,300 calories.Another woman – same height, same weight, same age even – may have one that’s 1,800. That’s why set-calorie diets, like a 1500-calorie diet, don’t work.The first woman would gain weight on this diet (unless she’s exercising every day); the second woman would lose weight – even if she were a couch potato!
Until now, getting your personal RMR was costly and inaccessible – available only at research hospitals. But now, convenient, affordable, and accurate technology, called MedGem®, has been developed and is in place at Pritikin. MedGem® is easy. For 5 to 10 minutes, you just breathe into a handheld device, which measures your oxygen consumption. Immediately after, you’ll know the precise number of calories your body burns, at rest, in a day. There’ll be no more guessing as to how much you can eat – and how much you need to exercise – to reach your goals. With these results, your dietitians and exercise leaders at Pritikin can help you tailor the Pritikin Program to your body.
Knowing your RMR may just be the missing link – the information you need to get the weight-loss results you’ve always wanted.

Pritikin personal trainers are great cheerleaders, too! We know it’s sometimes hard to motivate yourself to exercise.Your personal trainer will coach you each step of the way. The results, as many guests have found, are priceless...
“I explained my back problems and sedentary lifestyle (I love to sit in bed and read) to my Pritikin trainer, and he taught me five simple exercises to do in conjunction with the treadmill. I could hardly believe how easy they were, and miracle of miracles, they worked! Now, I have no back pain at all. Without my trainer’s help, I’m certain doctors would have loaded me down with pills and maybe even surgery. I was skeptical about the effectiveness of exercise, but my trainer’s conviction encouraged me to try. I feel so fortunate to have had his help!”

Microdermabrasion is especially helpful if you have skin texture that’s dull, oily, or leathery. The treatment will encourage firmer texture and clearer, younger-looking skin.
