Phenomenal! Dr. Frank is a living book of knowledge. Terri was so personable, she felt like family. The yoga, pool fitness and speakers were amazing. I did the juice cleanse and it tasted so good, I wasn’t even hungry. My husband did the vegan meals, the portions were huge and he said they were filling and full of flavor. The hotel was top notch and extremely clean. The view, ocean and water was perfect. I’m already planning to make this an annual vacation. I give this five stars! Don’t miss out, this will change your life!

Do yourself a favor and attend one of these.  They're serious about no salt, oil or sugar and you would think that there would also be no taste but not so - we had a group of nine and only one person was able to complete the meals.  There were also some water and juice fasters but, at all times, no judgment.  Dr. Frank and Terry are simply wonderful.  Dr. Frank welcomes questions although I'm sure he's heard them hundreds of times and Terry is patient and totally obliging to help in every aspect of the program.  The yoga instructors were wonder and don't miss the two guest speakers they bring in.   I left feeling better and anxious to get started on a healthier lifestyle - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.  The hotel is really nice - it's worth the extra money to get a room facing the ocean and the beach is gorgeous - great are to take a nice, long walk.  Can't think of anything negative and hope to return.   I met some folks in our group who were there previously and couldn't figure out why they would want to repeat the program, but I now know and hope to become a repeater.

I attended Balance for Life Retreat Feb 2024 and it was the best thing I ever did for myself. I chose the plant based sos diet. The food was more than plentiful and good, not exceptional, given it lacked the salt, oil, and sugar that we are all used to eating.

The daily lectures by Dr. Sabatino were excellent and full of useful information. The experts brought in for supplemental education, yoga, water aerobics, and massages were top notch.

The real beauty of the program is that you can do it at a pace that is right and comfortable for you. There is absolutely no pressure to attend any of the offerings. This is not a hard core boot camp. It is a jumpstart to reboot yourself, get back on track, and learn a healthier way to eat and live. I lost five lbs. in one week at the retreat, and have lost another three at home so far.

The best accolades go to Terry who organizes everything and is there to provide 24/7 service to all the participants. Thank you Terry for making it a great week!

Oh, one last thing...there are no highfalutin people there. No one wears makeup, not even Terry!

I recently attended the Balance for Life Juice Cleanse Retreat and it was a life-changing experience! The workshop left me feeling healthier and more energized than ever before. The coordinator/PM, Terry, and Dr. Frank were incredibly supportive and provided valuable guidance throughout the workshop. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to improve their health and well-being. Take the opportunity to recharge and heal - you’ll be surprised at how significantly improved your skin looks, how much more efficient your digestion works, and even how much more radiant your hair shines.

Regardless of where you are, The Balance for Life Retreat is well worth the cost and effort to get to Deerfield Beach, Fla. Once you arrive you are checked in to the beautiful, award winning, Wyndom Beach Hotel located across the street from the ocean. Then you are greeted by Terry, who is always available and so very helpful throughout your stay. Dr. Sabatino is a brilliant educator, really able to drive the evidence based information on plant-based lifestyle and health and longevity across at daily one hour seminars. This retreat offers a week of learning, movement activities like yoga and water aerobics in a heated pool and three plant based meals a day, all salt, oil and sugar free. My reason for going was to reboot myself,  since I had started to eat more sugary,  oily vegan foods lately.  The retreat certainly met my goal . A bonus was meeting so many other people attending who were at different stages in the plant based journey. This is a retreat you can easily enjoy as a single participant but more affordable if you share a room. Either way, I strongly encourage you to enjoy and learn at this unique retreat in sunny Florida.

This is at least my 6th visit to Balance for Life. The program is caring - compassionate - flexible - and responsive. The 2 back to back "weeks" I just had there were among the most meaningful of my life.
Truly!  This last visit I was even more impacted than others.  Keep up the wonderful transformative work.

Balance for Life exceeded my expectations. I water faster for 7 days losing 1+pounds per day. But weight loss wasn’t my goal. My goal was to neuro-adapt my taste buds, and it worked. I no longer crave sugary, fatty, salty nutritionally empty foods. I waited a week to write this to make sure those cravings were truly gone. It’s nothing short of amazing!
Dr Frank is a wealth of information and a great teacher. His presentations are entertaining which helps you remember the lecture materials. He’ll take the time to answer all your questions too.
Terry is supportive and super helpful from signing you up for the program,  information on the program and how to get to the Wyndham. She’s with you every day  encouraging and even joining you in yoga!!
The location is also beautiful. You cannot beat that beach only a few steps from the hotel.
I thought this program sounded expensive when I signed up but it was worth every penny. If you are thinking about attending but not sure? Please just do it, you won’t be sorry!!
