Patient Testimonials

“The results were beyond my wildest imagination. I’ve seen a reduction in my A1c, so I’m no longer diabetic. I’ve also seen a reduction in my blood pressure and asthma, and I eliminated my acid reflux and COPD. I even lost close to 30 pounds!”

Allen S.

Heart Disease

“I've had tremendous results. I wouldn’t have been able to do it if it hadn’t been a virtual program from the comfort of my home. The first thing I noticed was that my blood pressure stabilized. For years I had a lot of pressure in my chest (angina), and yet ever since 3 or 4 weeks of starting the program, it has been completely alleviated; that was a huge thing!”

Jennifer B.

Heart Disease

“After a heart attack, I had intractable chest pain, angina, trouble breathing, inability to walk from room to room, and unable to go upstairs without being carried. I entered the Ornish Program which worked beyond my wildest dreams! I’m now able to exercise moderately, I can work full-time as a doctor, and my quality of life is actually better than it was before.”
