Pritikin Corporate Programs

The Pritikin Corporate & Executive Programs have been favorably reported on in leading media like The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Custom-designed to meet the needs of each business, Pritikin has mentored executives in health since 1975. Guests have included large corporate groups, heads at Disney and Paine Webber, and multiple leaders from the Forbes 400. Says Bob Small, who has been a regular guest and CEO of Fairmont Hotels, “Pritikin offers preventive maintenance of your most important assets – your human resources. To maximize your employees’ productivity and longevity and decrease your health expenses, Pritikin is by far the best investment you could ever make.”

Sending employees to Pritikin can save companies a fortune. More than $32 billion and 132 million workdays are lost every year due to employees’ illnesses related to heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes, and overweight. Several studies have documented that lifestyle-change programs like Pritikin can increase productivity by 30%, cut the risk of dying prematurely by 50%, and add six or more years of life.  Corporate programs are available year-round.

Pritikin Family Program

Developed in 2002, this one- and two-week summer program has proven hugely successful in helping children and parents launch healthy lifestyles. Research on the Pritikin Family Program, published in leading peer-reviewed journals, has documented the following results among children in the Pritikin Family Program:   

• LDL “bad” cholesterol plummeted on average 25%.
• Triglyceride levels fell 39%.
• Weight loss averaged 10 pounds in two weeks for children who needed weight loss.
• Key markers of inflammation, including C-reactive protein, were reduced by 41%.
• Among 100% of children, the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was reversed.

In the Pritikin Family Program, the entire family learns how fun and rewarding healthy living can be. While parents attend the “adult” Pritikin Program as well as special workshops on motivating children led by experts in child behavior, the kids play fun fitness games, don chef’s hats for hands-on cooking classes, and attend kid-friendly workshops on nutrition. There’s time for Florida vacation fun, too, like afternoons at the resort's swimming pools. The Pritikin Family Program is available summers only, but custom-designed programs for children are held year-round.

Pritikin Eating Plan At Home

For “take out” that is healthy as well as delicious, chefs at the Pritikin Center prepare gourmet meals and ship them overnight to homes nationwide. It is the easiest way to stay with the Pritikin Program. Steve Stoller, recent guest at Pritikin and frequent buyer of the Pritikin Eating Plan At Home, says, “The food is great-tasting! And it’s helped me lose another 16 pounds after I left the resort.”

Pritikin Supplement Program

Pritikin’s physicians individually design vitamin programs that are unparalleled in their scientific efficacy, product quality, convenience, and safety. “No longer do I have to spend hours reading labels in vitamin stores or trying to keep up with the latest science on various supplements,” says St. Louis surgeon William Friedman, M.D. “Pritikin’s doctors and dietitians do all the work for me. Every month, my vitamin package arrives at my doorstep, personally designed to meet my needs. It’s so simple.”
