About the
LEVITY Study

The LEVITY study is ground-breaking research just released December, 2001 in Women & Health, a peer-reviewed academic journal. In the study, conducted under the auspices of the University of Washington, Dr. Marie-Annette Brown, Jo Robinson and their colleagues tested a program of light, exercise and vitamins on 112 women spanning the ages from 19-78. In just 8 weeks, tests showed that the women had experienced a remarkable turn around. They felt more energetic, better able to cope with stress, less anxious, more joyful, less reliant on food for comfort, less angry, and more confident in their own abilities.

Even more remarkable, the women's depression scores were cut in half! And on a test of general well-being, the women's average score moved from the worst to the best possible category in just two months. These are the kind of results one expects to see from state-of-the-art antidepressants. Yet, as Dr. Brown explains, they can also come from getting more sunlight, brisk exercise, and the right combination of nutrients.

The University of Washington research team interviewed all the women who participated in the program at the study's conclusion. Their interviews revealed that the LEVITY Program had greatly improved the women's lives.

Study Program Participant:
"Before the study, my mood was about four or five, now it's eight or nine. It's really been quite a change. I used to have a lot of sedentary habits. In the afternoon, I'd often lie down on the couch. Now, I go for a walk, get some light. Walking and light has made me more alert, more excited about what's going on at work. My overall stress level is down, definitely down. And my attitude! Now I know I can make a change. I can do things! I don't have to just be in this rut where I eat at McDonalds every day and watch TV at night. I learned that I can make changes and I can make my life better!"
