Since 1978 thousands of people from all over the world have benefited from Weimar Institute's NEWSTART ® Lifestyle Program. The goal of the NEWSTART ® team is to help guests restore their health and vitality by combining diet, exercise, stress management, expert medical supervision, and faith in divine guidance.
Men and women suffering from hypertension, angina, obesity, arthritis, high cholesterol, diabetes, allergies, stress and the toll taken on the body through the years, flock to Weimar Institute for a new start on life. It is in fact this very quest for a new start that gave Weimar Institute's health restoration program its name, NEWSTART ® Lifestyle Program.
When the medical team meets for its daily NEWSTART ® case review, frequently the discussion turns into testimonials as physicians and support staff share story-after-story of reduced blood pressure and lowered cholesterol levels. Typically, the talk includes discussion of guests who are enjoying freedom from medication they had been dependent on for years. In fact, freedom is the central theme for many NEWSTART ® discussions, as the medical team works with guests to overcome their physical and emotional limitations.
Frequently, NEWSTART ® Lifestyle participants who for years haven't walked any farther than from their garage to their house-will leave Weimar Institute walking three ... four … five, even six miles a day. All participants, according to their ability, are encouraged to join in group exercises, and in relaxing nature walks on fragrant, wooded paths.
How do they do it? Dedicated nutritionists have developed hearty vegetarian feasts consisting primarily of fresh fruits, nuts, vegetables and grains prepared in a variety of palate-pleasing menus.
Hydrotherapy and massage are two of the NEWSTART ® Lifestyle Program's many popular services. Designed to relax, relieve stress, improve circulation and increase physical activity, guests look forward to this invigorating pampering.
Physicians dedicated to the art of healing meet regularly with NEWSTART ® guests to candidly discuss their health concerns and personal goals for health restoration. They take the time to listen, offering the voice of experience combined with spiritual insight.
Christians, Jews, Buddhists and Muslims, as well as those of no particular religious persuasion, are well-represented among recent alumni.
NEWSTART ® Lifestyle Programs begin on Sunday and span a total of nineteen days. A popular graduation ceremony is the climax to this rejuvenating experience, complete with beautiful graduation certificates, a group photo and an inspirational book which is personally autographed by the NEWSTART ® physicians and staff.
Alumni are also provided with the name, address and phone number of all NEWSTART ® guests who participated in the program with them. In addition, each guest leaves the Institute with the name, address and phone number of every NEWSTART ® graduate from their individual community. This information allows each individual the opportunity to grow from the experiences and friendships of those with a common bond. Many graduates forge life-long friendships with the NEWSTART ® staff and their fellow participants.
