Two physicians unveil a revolutionary, accessible, science-based, patient-centered program for living an active, age-defying, disease-free life.

Healthcare is pulled and shaped by many forces, by drug and insurance companies looking for profits, by politicians in search of votes, and by stressed, overworked physicians who barely have time to talk to you before writing a prescription or packing you off to a specialist.

So is anyone interested in keeping you well?

Yes. Created by two physicians who both survived catastrophic illness, the Ultraprevention program will work for absolutely everyone – old, young, healthy, sick or somewhere in between. The promise of its practice is huge – a health span that matches life span – and you’ll experience deeper sleep, better digestion, weight loss, increased energy, enhanced movement, diminished stress, and more.

Ultraprevention is the new science of staying healthy, an innovative program that shatters the myths of today’s “fix-the-broken-parts” medicine. These myths – drugs cure disease, genes determine your fate, getting older means aging, fat is a four letter word - are actually believed by many doctors and are keeping you sick.

Strident general practitioners, Drs. Hyman and Liponis reject the current healthcare system of specialists paid to find something wrong, specialists who don’t care how their “cure” for one ailment affects the entire body. Working outside the managed care model at Canyon Ranch, the Berkshires, Hyman and Liponis break free of the vicious quick fix prescription cycle and formulate a program that identifies the cause of disease instead of just masking a symptom.

Isolating the source of more than 90% of today’s most common diseases, from cancer and heart disease to diabetes, stroke and Alzheimer’s, they identified The Five Forces of Illness – Sludge (malnutrition); Burnout (impaired metabolism), Heat (inflammation); Waste (impaired detoxification) and Rust (oxidative stress) – and found that can all be easily detected and stopped before disease develops.

Through the practice of the six-week Ultraprevention program, you’ll learn three simple steps – each only two weeks long - that stop these forces and create a lifetime of good health: remove toxins from the body and environment; repair the body through personalized nutrition and supplements; and recharge with stress management, sleep restoration, and gentle movement.
