Pritikin Intensive Cardiac Rehab (ICR)

The first of its kind in East Texas, Pritikin Intensive Cardiac Rehab (ICR) provides the education and support patients need to begin building a new, healthier lifestyle. Unlike traditional cardiac rehab programs that focus on physical exercise, Pritikin promotes recovery through three pillars:

  1. Safe, effective exercise
  2. A balanced eating plan
  3. A healthy mind-set

The pillars are introduced to program participants through immersive workshops, cooking classes and professionally-produced videos. The flexible curriculum can be tailored to fit patients’ needs, and is designed to support a variety of learning styles.

Through Pritikin ICR, patients learn how to:

  • Create a personalized nutrition and exercise plan
  • Implement a variety of strategies for tobacco cessation (if needed)
  • Implement significant lifestyle changes
  • Lose weight using healthy, evidence-based strategies
  • Make heart-healthy food choices when cooking or dining out
  • Manage stress in their daily lives
