Zak at the Hippocrates Institute's 3 week "Life Change Program" video blog.
I attended the Hippocrates Institute from August 9th to August 29th 2009. In case you didn't know, the Hippocrates Health Institute is one of the best (if not the best) raw food retreats on the planet. Having helped more people cure themselves of disease than any other organization or institution on the planet I was naturally curious of the power contain in the lifestyle that they taught.
I hope this series is both an inspiration to you on your path of health and life-span development. Perhaps you're thinking of attending the institute yourself some day... If so, part of my intention was to demonstrate the three week "Life Change Program" for people who were soon to attend so they knew what to expect. It's a big commitment to step into, but well worth it :)
If you'd like a chance at saving up to 10% on the three week program, be sure to check out the offer on this site operated by my friends Pedro and Cindy Soto who attended the program with me. Just remember to mention my name when signing up.
