Developing Workable Solutions for Chronic Illness
Today, chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease have become so common that most people don't remember what it's like to be in excellent health. And if they're not feeling their best, they can't be their best.
Many chronic health conditions are preventable. They're the result of years of poor eating habits, lack of exercise, and prolonged exposure to stress. Leading health organizations―and a growing body of scientific evidence―suggest that many of these conditions can be prevented, managed, or even reversed with lifestyle medicine.
But most medical practices don't have the time or lifestyle medicine expertise to provide the individualized counseling necessary to effect real change. Designed by health care business professionals, FirstLine Therapy helps medical practices successfully implement lifestyle medicine with helpful guidance for business planning, staff training, and office flow management.
Health care providers who implement this innovative, turnkey program overwhelmingly say they're busier and more successful than ever in helping patients achieve their desired health outcomes.
More About the FirstLine Therapy Program
FirstLine Therapy is an easy-to-use, practical system for healthcare practitioners to implement lifestyle therapies in busy practices. This
research-based program is effective because it addresses the underlying causes of common chronic disorders, not just the symptoms.
This is a disease reduction program...not just a weight reduction program. One of the goals of FirstLine Therapy is to maintain or enhance lean body mass while losing unhealthy fat to improve health and well-being, manage disease, and reduce risk to more serious health conditions. Other commercial or self-guided programs often incorporate diets that may result in an excessive loss of muscle mass―associated with accelerated aging and declining health. In addition to tracking common biomarkers, FirstLine Therapy integrates body composition testing (measuring body fat and lean mass) as a part of patient assessment.
FirstLine Therapy also offers demonstrated protocols for a wide range of health concerns for an easily customized approach to condition management and disease risk reduction. This unique program has helped tens of thousands of chronic illness sufferers in North America and beyond to regain health―so they can once again enjoy their lives to the fullest.
