Good Health
Isn't that what everybody wants? High energy, mental clarity, full
function, and absence of disease well into old age. If that's what you
want, the FirstLine Therapy program can help.
What is FirstLine Therapy?
FirstLine Therapy is a "therapeutic lifestyle program." Which means that
this program will help you live your life in a way that improves your
health.
A "therapeutic lifestyle" means making choices every day that will
enhance your health and help prevent disease, enabling you to achieve a
full, healthy life.
Based on Science
FirstLine Therapy is based on extensive scientific research
demonstrating that many of the chronic diseases associated with aging
are largely caused by lifestyle choices. Many of these health problems
can be prevented or even treated by adopting a healthy lifestyle:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- High blood
pressure
- High cholesterol
- Stroke
- Metabolic syndrome
- Osteoarthritis
- Osteoporosis
- Cancer
- Alzheimer's
disease
Recommended for
Health
A therapeutic lifestyle program is now recommended by leading health
organizations as a primary therapy for individuals with many of the
conditions listed above, as well as for health problems such as:
- Stress-related
disorders
- Fatigue disorders
- Polycystic ovary
syndrome (PCOS)
- PMS
- Menopause
- Other
hormone-related symptoms
- Conditions related
to overweight and obesity
Nutrition and
Lifestyle
Adopting habits of living that are healthy can delay the onset of
illness in old age and increase your years of good health and full
function. FirstLine Therapy will put you on the path to optimal health
through a combination of balanced eating, regular exercise, stress
reduction, and appropriate nutritional supplementation.
Fundamentals of
FirstLine Therapy
The path to optimal health begins with:
- Knowledge of a
healthy lifestyle
- Balanced eating
habits
- Regular physical
activity
- Appropriate
nutritional supplementation with condition-specific nutrients
- Stress management
for internal balance
- Sleep for proper
mind/body functioning
Sound simple? It is,
when you have the information necessary to lead a healthy lifestyle. The
end result is a program that not only helps control premature aging, but
also helps to prevent chronic disease and prolong vitality.
Getting Started
In order to measure your progress, you first need to know your current
health status. A variety of health assessments may be performed,
including a measurement of your body composition (the ratio of your body
fat to your lean muscle mass).
Excess body fat can greatly increase your health risks. Conversely, a
higher ratio of muscle increases your metabolism and creates a larger
source of proteins to fend off illness.
Perhaps the most powerful tool in controlling the aging process and
restoring vitality is to improve your muscle-to-fat ratio by adding more
muscle to your body. But that doesn't mean this is a bodybuilding
program in the traditional sense of the word. Nutrition and a healthy
diet can give you a workout inside your body, requiring only a simple
plan of physical activity to help your reach your health goals.
