"Until now, no health resort in the country had a strict kosher program supervised by the KOF-K. We are pleased and honored to be the first," says Drew Rosen, Executive Chef at the Pritikin Longevity Center.

"It’s a tremendous amount of work, but the kosher community desperately needs it. Many in the community are struggling with serious health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure," explains Chef Rosen. "Now, for the first time, they can take advantage of the life-saving benefits of the Pritikin Program while at the same time having the assurance that their entire program will be under strict supervision of the KOF-K."

"We chose KOF-K because it is one of the strictest organizations in the country," explains Drew Rosen, who has owned and operated two kosher restaurants and whose own home is kosher. "There is no question that every meal served at the Pritikin Longevity Center during Kosher Weeks will be strictly kosher."

"If you’ve been wanting to come to Pritikin, and you’re strictly kosher, now is the time to come. It’s exciting. It truly will be the best kosher health retreat America has ever seen."

Pritikin Longevity Center® & Spa

A tropical paradise surrounded by turquoise waterways, championship golf courses, and the Turnberry Yacht Club, the Pritikin resort is the perfect place to begin a better, healthier life.

Based on 30 years of scientific research and validated in more than 100 studies published in leading medical journals, the Pritikin Program delivers dramatic results, often in just a few weeks. The Pritikin Program has been documented to:

REDUCE RISK FACTORS FOR HEART DISEASE

In just three weeks, LDL "bad" cholesterol fell an average 23%. (New England Journal of Medicine) Inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein plummeted 45%. (Metabolism)

NORMALIZE BLOOD PRESSURE

83% lowered blood pressure to normal levels and left free of all drugs for hypertension. (Journal of Cardiac Rehabilitation)

CONTROL DIABETES/METABOLIC SYNDROME

74% on oral drugs for diabetes left Pritikin free of these drugs, and 44% on insulin left insulin-free. (Diabetes Care, Journal of Applied Physiology) Pritikin also controlled and even reversed the Metabolic Syndrome in the majority of diabetics and pre-diabetics studied. (Journal of Applied Physiology)

ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR BYPASS SURGERY

A five-year follow-up of men who came to Pritikin instead of undergoing bypass surgery found that 80% never needed the surgery. (Journal of Cardiac Rehabilitation)

REDUCE RISK FACTORS FOR CANCER

In several studies the Pritikin Program reduced key risk factors for breast, colon, and prostate cancer. The latest research found that Pritikin inhibited the growth of both breast and prostate cancer cells in laboratory settings at UCLA, and even induced tumor cells to self-destruct. (Nutrition and Cancer, Prostate)

PROMOTE HEALTHY LONG-TERM WEIGHT LOSS

Pritikin guests in need of weight loss shed 12 pounds and more within three weeks. (Archives of Internal Medicine) In five-year follow-up studies, 85% of grads claimed a 50% or greater adherence to the Pritikin Program. (Diabetes Care).

The most rigorous study of long-term weight loss ever conducted, the National Weight Control Registry, found that most of its 4,500 successful dieters follow an eating and exercise plan similar to the Pritikin Program. (Journal of the American Dietetic Association)
