Most physicians realize it’s very difficult to get patients to make lifestyle changes yet this program has been very successful in doing so.
Dr. Nagoshi
Internal Medicine, Referring Physician
Most of the people who enroll in this 9-week program are still following it one year later. In contrast, only 30% of people prescribed cholesterol-lowering drugs are still taking them after only six months.
Why? Because most people feel so much better, so quickly, it reframes the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living.
We have data from over 17,000 patients who have successfully transformed their lives. Most became free of chest pain (angina) during the first few weeks.
