Overview of a One-Week Program at the Pritikin Center

People come to Pritikin for many reasons, including reversal of heart disease and diabetes, lowering of blood pressure to normal levels, or simply losing weight and getting in shape.

Most come to prevent disease – particularly baby-boomers who saw their parents struggle with heart attacks, strokes, and other ills, and are asking: "Can I age better? Can I stay vibrant and healthy for years to come?" Pritikin provides the results they desire, and in a beautiful vacation resort.

On Saturday guests arrive for orientation and tours of the Pritikin facilities as well as the surrounding 650 acres of lush tropical gardens, pools, and championship golf courses.

Sunday begins with state-of-the-art blood panels and a 1-hour consultation with a board-certified physician that involves a complete history and physical, and analysis of health and weight-loss goals. Next, under the supervision of doctors and exercise physiologists, guests take a treadmill stress test to determine their fitness levels and personal exercise prescriptions. They also review "elective" exercise interests they can enjoy at Pritikin, such as golf and tennis.
