Three Pillars of the Pritikin Program
Exercise, a healthy eating plan and a healthy mindset work together, for better or for worse. So here at Pritikin we help you get all 3 of your pillars into good shape and working in synergy.
Food & Nutrition
The American diet is the number #1 risk to our health. At Pritikin, you’ll enjoy healthy and delicious meals without going hungry or counting calories, while still losing weight and achieving overall better health.
Exercise & Fitness

Healthy Mindset
Mind and body go hand in hand, and at Pritikin, we want to make sure we’re addressing them both! Our behavioral therapists will lead a variety of lectures throughout your stay which will help you reduce stress and enhance your relationship skills.
Food & Nutrition
The food you learn about in lectures, is the same food you’ll learn to cook in cooking school and enjoy during meals and snacks. This integrated approach eliminates confusion and ensures your success. By the time you return home you’ll be prepared to embrace Pritikin living. By immersing yourself in a stay at Pritikin, you’ll develop healthy habits and your taste buds will actually change. Cravings for salt, sugar and added fat will be a thing of the past.

When You Change Your Mindset, You Change Everything
Most of us are our own worst enemies….that little self-defeating voice in our head takes over “I’ll never get healthy. I have no willpower. I’ve tried more weight loss programs than I can count, but can’t stick to them.” Pritikin will help you change your thinking and adopting a “can do” attitude- which will change your whole life- in no time.

The Thread That Ties Everything Together
Most of us see our doctors in their offices, but at Pritikin – you’re just as likely to find our medical director lunching with guests in our dining room, our cardiologist chatting with a group of guests after a workshop, or the endocrinologist stopping by the fitness center to check on a guest’s progress. This is “hands on” like most of us have never experienced.
The Pritikin team of physicians, all board-certified in fields such as cardiology and endocrinology, are intimately involved in your entire experience. They’re some of the first team members you’ll meet, and some of the last you’ll say goodbye to. They’ll oversee testing to determine your exercise limits, and work with our fitness team to ensure each one of our guests are challenged within their safe limits.
You’ll interact with the physician team daily during small group workshops, but the private sessions with your personal physician are also vital to your success. Observes Pritikin’s Medical Director Danine Fruge, MD: “Outside Pritikin, in the ‘real world’ of medical care, we doctors have little time to listen. About seven minutes. Then we pick up a pad and write a prescription. We can do a lot of harm that way. At Pritikin, we take seriously the Latin meaning of the word ‘doctor’ – which is ‘teacher.’ We spend a long time listening and educating. And the payoff is priceless. Patients tell me, ‘I never really understand my medical situation until now… and I haven’t felt this good in years.””
