Would you like to reduce your risks of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer? Would you like to improve your quality of life by increasing your energy, decreasing your stress and improving your mood? First line therapy can help you achieve your goals of optimal health now and in the future!


First Line Therapy is a therapeutic lifestyle program which gives you the tools to make choices everyday that prevent disease and promote wellness. It is based on extensive research indicating that lifestyle changes are the most effective in treating various chronic diseases. It addresses health concerns including cardiovascular disease, asthma, obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, high cholesterol, high or low blood sugar; gastrointestinal, hormonal, mood, mental and musculoskeletal issues. It is a broad-based approach tailored to each individual’s unique health status. 


First line therapy is not your average weight loss program. Yes, excess weight is a major contributor to health risks but it is important to make the distinction between the type of weight gained and lost. First Line Therapy takes your whole body composition into consideration ie. your lean muscle mass to fat mass ratio. Many weight loss programs have been shown to result in a considerable loss of lean muscle mass and loss of fat mass to a lesser degree or even a gain in fat mass! Losing lean muscle causes depletion in the body’s protein reserve and can lead to decreased immunity and advanced aging. Losing fat mass can decrease cardiovascular health risks, blood sugar and insulin levels, blood pressure, cholesterol and LDL’s (“bad” cholesterol) while increasing HDL  (“good” cholesterol) and improving symptoms of arthritis and sleep apnea.


This program includes comprehensive initial clinical tests and follow-up tests which may include the following:
- Physical Exams
- Laboratory Blood tests – Cholesterol levels, LDL, HDL, Glucose, Insulin, Hgb A1c
- Bioimpedance Analysis – Assesses lean body mass, fat mass, cellular integrity and basal metabolic rate

Initial consultation to review test results, health history, health profile and goals. You will receive the following:

- Your personal First Line Therapy Guidebook
