Ongoing research and clinical studies continue to validate the message of the Regency Natural Health Program. Health is built by the consistent application of choices in the areas of nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management that promote life and health. And, to a great extent, the most devastating chronic diseases of our society, e.g. heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, are not inherited, but are the consequences of risky lifestyle choices over time.

For over 18 years, the comprehensive health education and clinical program of the Regency has been under the direction of Dr. Frank Sabatino. Dr. Sabatino is a chiropractor, with Masters and Ph.D. degrees in cell biology, neurobiology and neuroendocrinology.

The plant-based vegan diet taught at the Regency Wellness Resort and Spa is the most powerful nutritional approach for:

• reducing weight and obesity
  
• preventing and reversing heart disease
  
• lowering cholesterol
  
• promoting longevity
  
• reducing the negative consequences of aging
  
• preventing and reversing diabetes
  
• maintaining healthy bone, and
  
• preventing a variety of cancers.
  

Our nutritional approach eliminates the acid forming inflammatory nature of conventional diets loaded with animal-based, highly processed refined foods. Since many health problems, including heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are now thought to develop from the process of inflammation, the anti-inflammatory vegan diet may be one of the most important factors for the prevention of disease. The incredible expert staff of the Regency also prides itself on helping you take this food plan home, and teaches shopping and cooking classes to make the transition to your "real world" more successful.

The extensive exercise and activity program of the Regency includes the most significant parts of a comprehensive fitness program: aerobic endurance activity, strength training, and flexibility development. Daily morning walks, and numerous supervised aqua fit and low impact studio aerobic classes, are an integral part of the program. Fun aerobic dance classes including salsa, afro-Caribbean, and belly dancing add to the variety of aerobic classes. The new state of the art gym provides new aerobic machines and weight training equipment to promote strength training, while stretch, Pilates, yoga and tai-chi classes round out the flexibility part of the fitness program. The exercise instructors and trainers can also help you create your own personal fitness take home program.

Lectures and techniques for stress management are a very important part of the Regency program. These include massage therapy sessions, and relaxation and meditation sessions in addition to yoga, chair yoga, and tai-chi classes. In addition, the Oceanside location, on the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean, promotes emotional and spiritual serenity, and is a perfect complement to the Regency health program. Fun and entertainment are also critical to the healing process, and the Regency provides weekly musical entertainment, games, shopping trips, and lectures and trips of special interest that take advantage of the multitude of unique opportunities available in the cultural diversity of South Florida.

The Regency Wellness Resort and Spa is a profound health adventure. It can transform your life, and give you the tools to embrace your own power to heal and be well. It is friendly, comfortable, intimate, and, in the words of our guests, always feels like home. So, come home to us, and transform your life and health.
