Membership levels

We have four categories of membership for individuals, a category for corporations and foundations, and a gift membership.

Basic Membership (free).

With Basic Membership, you can join our Mailing Lists, participate in our public chat room and, of course, read about the latest research findings on our Web site. You will get breaking news about important information for those interested in the relation between diet and health, as well as for those interested in anti-aging medicine in general.

Supporting Membership ($35 /year).

Supporting Membership benefits include all benefits of the Basic Membership plus:

  • Web access to the CRS Insider, the CR Society member newsletter.
  • Web access to Dr. Walford's Interactive Diet Planner, the software that helps you make sure you're eating a healthy calorie restricted diet.
  • Access to the Members Only Area for free downloads of CRS Insider issues, DWIDP software and selected materials from our conferences.
  • Reduced rates (a $35 value for each conference!) for our regular CR Society conferences.
  • Invitations and opportunities to participate in new medical CR research studies as they are announced.
  • Notification of CR Society Regional Chapter gatherings and functions where you can meet other CR Practitioners in your own local area.

    • New members also receive the Introductory Packet which includes:

    • CR Society Membership Booklet.
    • CR Society Quick Start Guide summarizing in straightforward terms how to jump start your CR program.

      • Lifetime ($500 to $1000) and Founding ($1000 and above) Membership

      Calorie Restriction has literally saved lives. Doctors tell their CR patients that they are astounded that cholesterol levels could change so much simply because of a change in diet, or that blood pressure or glucose metabolism could change could be so effectively controlled because of this diet. If you want to help us get the message out to physicians and the public at large, consider joining as a Lifetime or Founding member.
      Those Founding Members who wish to do so can be involved in an integral way in helping to form the Society's long-term vision.

      Corporate Donations

      In order to help the CR Society sponsor health and longevity-promoting programs, please consider us in your donation plans. Organizations and corporations who wish to do so can be involved in an integral way in helping to form the Society's long-term vision. All donations are fully tax deductible.

      Gift Memberships

      Give the gift of health! What better way to show you care than to give a gift of a one-year membership in the CR Society. With membership, the recipient of your gift receives a gift certificate designating you as the giver if you wish, sent at a date of your choosing (immediately, if not specified). Gift certificates are for either a Holiday or Birthday.
