Nutritional Counseling- Importance of a Healthy Diet

We are pleased to offer our most powerful, preventative care program, “First Line Therapy”, a therapeutic lifestyle change. This program unlike any other, targets the underlying causes of chronic illnesses by incorporating a sensible eating plan, nutritional supplementation, exercise, and stress management.

Why FLT is important

Currently 7 out of 10 deaths are associated with chronic illness; heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, oesteoporosis and Alzheimer’s. The American Diabetes Association determined that type 2 diabetes can be prevented in at risk patients using lifestyle modifications. Also, the American College of Lifestyle Medicine has demonstrated that lifestyle intervention is an essential component in the treatment of chronic disease that can be as effective as medication but without the risk of unwanted side effects. In addition, the National Institute of Health recommends lifestyle changes as the most important and cost-effective way to lower cholesterol.

How FLT is different from other health and diet programs

1. FLT is a body composition program best used as a first line treatment for common health issues such as; high cholesterol, insulin resistance, low energy and excess body fat.
2. FLT menu plan includes an abundance of food choices that emphasize the importance of a Low-Glycemic Modified Mediterranean eating plan.
3. FLT incorporates individualized nutritional supplementation to enhance program effectiveness and shorten the time it takes for participants to achieve goals.
4. The FLT program and recommended supplements have been proven effective through clinical testing.
5. Progress and current health status are measured with each visit through a quick, non-invasive measurement of the body’s fat, lean muscle mass, caloric requirements and fluid levels.

Listen to our patient's review of the plan:



Before picture:


As you can tell Lorna is very excited about her progress, as are we. In 2 months she has lost 12 lbs on the scale (10 lbs of fat, 2 lbs of excess fluid), and increased her lean muscle mass as a percentage of body composition. Most importantly, Lorna's cholesterol level, lipid profile and sugar levels are improving to the point where her medication will no longer be necessary.





If you are experiencing any of the following conditions, FLT is the program for you

• Fatigue/Low Energy
• Overweight/Obesity
• Excess Body Fat/Belly Fat
• High Blood Pressure
• High Cholesterol
• Hormone Imbalance
• Type 2 Diabetes
• Metabolic Syndrome
• Oesteoarthiritis

Excess body fat can greatly increase your health risks. However, a higher ratio of muscle increases your metabolism and is associated with a lower incidence of illness. Improving your muscle-to-fat ratio is perhaps the most powerful tool in controlling the aging process and restoring vitality.
