Pritikin Program Achieves "Phenomenal Results" With Children The Pritikin Longevity Center, universally acclaimed for its success in helping adults launch healthy lifestyles, has now proven hugely successful for children as well. In the Pritikin Family Program, conducted every summer, at the Pritikin Center on Turnberry Isle in Florida, “we observed some phenomenal results,” says Dr. Jay Kenny. “And the children had so much fun that they complained when it was time to go home.” Within the two-week program, the children find out how pleasurable healthy eating and physical activity can be.

It’s thrilling to help so many children in such a huge way. We’ve created a program that is popular as well as effective, a program where families can have fun together and leave with impressive results.” For more information ...
