About The Fitness Principle

With The Fitness Principle, East Jefferson General Hospital launches an innovative series of programs designed to go beyond fitness, nutrition, disease management and/or lifestyle management. In the past, these various elements have been addressed individually. The Fitness Principle takes these elements along with your work schedule, family life, personality traits, family history, risk factors and disease or injury pre-disposition to formulate programs that treat you as a whole. Fitness Principle Programs are used by professional athletes, television personalities, CEOs and anyone who wants, and demands, optimum performance in their lives. Developing a leaner body mass translates into much more than an improved appearance. The Fitness Principle can help you reduce stress, improve your sleep patterns, sharpen your cognitive skills, improve your memory, reduce your risk of cancers and other diseases and more.
