First Line Therapy - Lifestyle coaching
FirstLine Therapy (FLT) is a specialized therapeutic lifestyle change program unlike any other in that the FLT system targets the underlying illnesses by incorporating a sensible eating plan , exercise, nutritional supplementation., and stress management. This program is based on the Harvard School of Medicine’s Healthy Eating Pyramid and Mediterranean diet.
America is the fattest nation on earth. Why? Is it because we eat too much junk food, don’t exercise enough, eat too much sugar? Those are all true, and could be reasons, but they don’t explain why the obesity epidemic is becoming so much worse. After all, Americans have eaten too much junk food and sugar and lounged on the couch for a long time. What’s different the past fifteen years to make obesity so much more common?
There are a lot of theories, ranging from dioxins in canned foods altering the brain’s satiety center, to the blend of fats we eat such as omega 3s and 6s versus trans fats, saturated fats – wrong types of carbohydrates, artificial sweeteners, and so on.
We offer First Line Therapy (Therapeutic Lifestyle Change) the first line of treatment (or prevention) of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, arthritis, fibromyalgia and other common chronic ailments. And it works. It’s easy to tolerate, offers encouragement and support through a lifestyle coach, and has been proven in controlled trials to be tolerated and enjoyed by practically everybody. Best of all, it has been proven more effective head-to-head than the heart and diabetes diets. It also includes bioimpedance measurements to keep track of fat and muscle body composition.
