For 30 years, more than 75,000 people worldwide have come to the Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa both to prevent and reverse problems such as excess weight, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Millions more have read Nathan Pritikin`s best-selling books. Disconcerted by others who promised better health but never supported their claims, Pritikin focused on science, on verifiable results. More than 90 studies, published in peer-reviewed medical journals, document the Program's success. Researchers from UCLA, Stanford, and Harvard have lauded Pritikin`s results. The results, and the education that teaches guests how to sustain these results, set Pritikin apart.
Highlights of published research: Cholesterol levels fall 23 percent (
New England Journal of Medicine). Over 70 percent of diabetics on medication leave drug-free (

The tropical resort is perfect for the soul, too. Guests savor gourmet cuisine (roasted lobster, wild mushroom risotto, and grilled bison). Daily exercise and workshops make healthy living in the 'real world' not only easy but enjoyable. Services are not a la carte: Everything -- physician consultations, lab tests, nutrition/exercise classes, stress management workshops, and meals -- is included in one all-inclusive price.
High-profile executives, politicians, actors, and athletes come to Pritikin to get their life and health on track.
