"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."

"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."

"Wellness/preventive medicine is the medicine of the
future. The Pritikin Longevity Center represents this work
at its very best. Pritikin, like no other program I've ever
observed, empowers people with effective approaches to make
lifestyle changes in the real world that enable them to turn
their ambitions for a healthier life into a reality. Plus,
after just a few days at Pritikin, they start to feel the
wonderful benefits of the Program, like increased energy
and freedom from medications. These benefits are effective
motivators: people continue their healthy new habits when
they return home."
"Pritikin is ideal for patients seeking active prevention
of a first significant adverse health event, as well as those
wanting to prevent a reoccurring problem."

"As a heart surgeon, I am convinced that the optimal
lifestyle program for avoiding cardiovascular disease is
the Pritikin Program. It is the premier plan for reducing
risk factors like high cholesterol, high blood pressure,
high triglycerides, high blood sugar, and excess weight."

"I was so impressed with the Pritikin Longevity Center
that I am personally calling physician friends to say that
the best thing they could ever do for their patients is refer
them to Pritikin. I was thrilled to hear that Pritikin has
a program to train medical residents in the fields of nutrition,
exercise, and prevention. This is a program, more than any
other in the world, that can save millions of lives. With
the Pritikin Program, we doctors truly can wipe out heart
disease, diabetes, hypertension, and obesity."

"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."

"I went to the Pritikin Longevity Center in September
2002 because I was seeing how badly my patients needed to
lose weight and how excess weight went hand in hand with
the illnesses they were suffering from, like diabetes, hypertension,
heart disease, and cancer. I decided that I could bring all
the benefits and education I received at Pritikin back to
my patients to help them. I personally received a multitude
of benefits, too. 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."

"Last Christmas I was very overweight and, at age 59,
I had already begun to develop congestive heart failure.
I was also diabetic and injecting myself daily with insulin.
I knew if I didn't take care of myself, I wouldn't be alive
to see the next Christmas. As a physician, I knew there was
no better place for me to go than Pritikin. By the end of
my first week at Pritikin, my blood sugar had dropped into
normal ranges. It was very quick! Within 10 days, I'd lost
20 pounds. After one month, I was completely off insulin.
My total cholesterol dropped to 130, and my LDL cholesterol
fell to 78. It's now been five months since I've been faithfully
following the Pritikin Program, and I've shed 53 pounds.
I feel 100% better. I'm absolutely delighted!"
