- A happier, healthier life
- More energy for the things you want to do
- Self confidence through achievement
- More graceful aging
- A longer, more active life
You can achieve these benefits through the Healthy Lifestyle programTM. Among all weight loss spas, our program has been successful for 30 years because we understand what people need to know and do to live more healthy lives, and because YOU have the ability to do it.
The Foundations of Health BenefitsIt seems new studies come out every month reinforcing what doctors have always told us: You need to eat a nutritious diet, get regular exercise, reduce stress, and maintain healthy habits to have a healthier, longer life. These lifestyle choices can lead to health more surely than any pill or quick fix diet plan! This is what the Healthy Lifestyle program of our weight loss spa is all about.
In fact, nutrition, exercise and a positive attitude are the foundations to manage or eliminate many of the chronic health problems that plague people today. By following our weight loss spas Healthy Lifestyle program, Guests can achieve many health benefits:
- Healthy weight loss
- Diabetes prevention or management
- Cardiovascular health, including blood pressure and cholesterol management
- Stress management
- Smoking cessation
Other Reasons to Choose Hilton Head Health Institute
Guests choose the Hilton Head Health Institute’s Healthy Lifestyle program because it is serious and it helps them succeed. As The Weight Loss Health Spa, we have always focused on helping Guests lose weight, but our weight loss spa approach is a well-rounded, time-tested program that teaches nutrition, fitness, knowledge, and self-awareness for a total healthy way of living.
Many 'weight loss spas' actually promote themselves based on the pampering you receive. Others, sometimes called fat farms or adult fat camps, seem to try to fit everyone into a single mold.
H3I weight loss retreat or spa is different than either of these. We are here to serve, and work with, Guests who are serious enough about healthy weight loss that they are more interested in learning and changing than they are in short term pleasures. Yes, we have spa treatments: they can be therapeutic in helping you to relax, and relaxation improves learning and motivation. But the point has to be remembered: the long range success of your healthy weight loss is what our weight loss spa is about.
As for that one size fits all stuff found at many fat farms and adult fat camps: not at H3I. We know each of our Guests has a unique need and a unique and important life. For medical, personal and practical reasons, no weight loss resort or fat farm should try to treat everyone the same. We WILL expose all of our Guests to best practices and the most up to date information available, but we WILL also help to guide them into the seminars, training, and counseling most appropriate to them. Above all, we trust our Guests to be able to choose among our offerings to get what THEY want from the program, not just what we think they should have.

Other Health Goals and Benefits
Many guests come to the Institute weight loss spa with specific health goals in mind. Our professional staff will work with your personal physician or allied health professional (such as Registered Dietitian or Physical Therapist). Typical areas of focus are hypertension, diabetes, menopausal or postpartum symptoms, cardiac risk or impairment, arthritis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or tobacco use. It is always helpful (but not mandatory) for us to receive a health status report from your professional. The first morning of your stay at the H3I weight loss retreat you will receive an individual health assessment, which includes:
• Blood pressure
• Lipid profile (cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides)
• Fasting glucose level
There are no unnecessary or expensive medical procedures, however, health services can be arranged if indicated or desired, right here at our weight loss spa:
• Medical and physical examination and diagnostic work-up
• Stress testing
• Strength and flexibility testing
• Metabolic & cardiovascular assessment
The H3I weight loss spa is a superior behavior modification program that is successful in helping Guests regain control through a healthy lifestyle. This lifestyle is the foundation of health, but it does not substitute for professional medical attention. We are experienced and comfortable working with medical professionals in tailoring our program to each Guest's specific conditions and preferences. Please talk with your Lifestyle Coach about it.
There is increasing evidence that a healthy lifestyle promotes health goals across a wide spectrum of conditions and situations. Our weight loss spas program's ideal balance of structured learning and experiential activities are geared toward specific guest goals and in the process confer some very special and specific benefits:
