Nathan Pritikin Research Foundation
For the past 30 years, the Nathan Pritikin Research Foundation has published more than 100 studies documenting the extraordinary benefits of the Pritikin Program. It is research that persistently proves to doctors, health institutions, and the media that we can halt many of modern society’s diseases, rapidly and economically, with good nutrition and exercise. It is research that saves lives.

Scientifically Proven Results
Since 1975, more than 100,000 guests have experienced the life-changing benefits of the Pritikin Longevity Center® & Spa. Nearly 10 million have read the nine best-selling books on the Pritikin Program. Most importantly, no other diet-and-exercise program has been more highly praised by the scientific community. More than 100 studies in top medical journals have found that people who adopt the Pritikin Program achieve dramatic results in just a few weeks, with more benefits long-term. The Pritikin Program has been proven to:
Markedly Reduce Risk Factors For Heart Disease
Cholesterol: Analyses of 4,587 guests staying at Pritikin for three weeks showed an average 23% drop in total cholesterol and 23% drop in LDL "bad" cholesterol. New England Journal of Medicine, 323: 1142, 1990; Archives of Internal Medicine, 151: 1389, 1991. See also Circulation, 106: 2530, 2002.
Triglycerides: These 4,587 Pritikin guests also reduced triglycerides on average 33%. New England Journal of Medicine, 323: 1142 ,1990; Archives of Internal Medicine, 151: 1389, 1991.
C-Reactive Protein: In just two weeks, inflammation markers like C-reactive protein plummeted 45% in women at the Pritikin Center. No other diet-and exercise program or drug therapy, including statins, has proven to lower C-reactive protein so dramatically or rapidly. Metabolism, 53: 377, 2004.
Insulin: In three weeks, insulin levels fell 46% in men at the Pritikin Center. Circulation, 106: 2530, 2002.
Metabolic Syndrome: Having the Metabolic Syndrome, a condition now epidemic in the U.S., puts one at major risk for diabetes and heart disease. In about 50% of men studied, the syndrome was not only controlled but also reversed after just three weeks at the Pritikin Center. Journal of Applied Physiology, 100: 1657, 2006.
Lower Blood Pressure to Normal, Medication-Free Levels
In a study of 268 men, 83% lowered their blood pressure to normal levels and left free of all drugs for hypertension. Journal of Cardiac Rehabilitation, 3: 839, 1983. See also Circulation, 106: 2530, 2002.
Enhance Effectiveness of Statin Therapy
Prior to attending Pritikin, 93 people had reduced their cholesterol about 20% on statins. After two weeks at Pritikin, they demonstrated an additional 19% decrease in cholesterol. American Journal of Cardiology, 79: 1112, 1997.
Control Diabetes and, for Many, Eliminate the Need for Drugs
A meta-analysis of 864 diabetics found that 74% on oral agents left Pritikin free of such medications; and 44% on insulin left insulin-free. Those who continued the Pritikin Program stayed off the medications. Journal of Applied Physiology,98: 3, 2005. See also Diabetes Care, 17: 1469, 1994.
Promote Healthy, Long-Term Weight Loss
Pritikin Guests in need of weight loss lose 12 pounds and more within three weeks of starting Pritikin. Archives of Internal Medicine, 151: 1389, 1991.
In two long-term studies, more than 85% of Pritikin graduates claimed a 50% or greater adherence to the Pritikin Program after 5 years, and the majority continued to lose weight after leaving the Center. Journal of Cardiac Rehabilitation, 3: 183, 1983; Diabetes Care, 6: 268, 1983.
The most comprehensive study of long-term weight loss ever conducted, the National Weight Control Registry, found that the vast majority of its nearly 4,500 successful dieters follow a diet, like Pritikin, that is low in fat and very high in fiber-rich carbohydrates like fruits and vegetables. The members lost, on average, 66 pounds and have kept it off for six years. Less than 1% follow a high-protein, high-fat diet. Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 98: 480, 1998.
Eliminate the Need for Angioplasty and Bypass Surgery; Relieve Angina Pain
A five-year follow-up of 64 participants who went to Pritikin instead of having bypass surgery found that 80% never needed surgery. Of those taking drugs for angina (chest) pain, 62% left the Center pain-free and drug-free. Journal of Cardiac Rehabilitation, 3: 183, 1983.
Mitigate the Metabolic Syndrome
High insulin levels, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, and obesity commonly aggregate in the same individual and greatly increase the risk for coronary disease. The Pritikin Program controlled this syndrome in just three weeks in a majority of 72 people studied. Fasting insulin was reduced by 30-40%. American Journal of Cardiology, 69: 440, 1992. See also Journal of Applied Physiology, 100: 1657, 2006.
Among children studied who had the Metabolic Syndrome, 100% reversed the syndrome within two weeks of adopting the Pritikin Program. Metabolism, 2006.
Reduce Key Risk Factors for Breast, Colon, and Prostate Cancer
Several studies have found that adopting the Pritikin Program reduced key risk factors for breast, colon, and prostate cancer. Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 86: 1419, 1994; Nutrition and Cancer, 31: 127,1998; Nutrition and Cancer, 38: 158, 2000; The Journal of Urology, 166: 1185, 2001.
Groundbreaking studies also showed that the Pritikin Program retarded the growth of both breast cancer and prostate cancer cells in in vitro laboratory testing, and even induced tumor cells to self-destruct. Prostate, 56: 201, 2003; Nutrition and Cancer, 2006
In 2005, scientists also reported that men with prostate cancer were able to avoid aggressive treatment, surgery, radiation, etc., by exercising regularly, increasing their fruit-and-vegetable intake, and reducing dietary fat to 10% of total calories. Journal of Urology, 174:1065, 2005
Promote Smoking Cessation
The customized smoking cessation program at Pritikin has helped many guests quit smoking for good. Plus, their new Pritikin lifestyles helped ensure that they did not gain weight while quitting. Many, in fact, lost weight.
