Welcome To Wellness Lifestyle Program
This is what a few people had to say about their "Wellness Solutions" experience:

Paul's Progress
“I began [FLT] because my sugar diabetes was out of control and I was facing going on insulin to control it. I was maxed out on pills for the diabetes, as well as for high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. I also suffered from chronic lower back pain due to compressed disks, which greatly affected my quality of life as well as my work. The [program] greatly inspired me and I took it very seriously as a chance to change my habits and ways of eating and taking care of myself.
By the end of the [program], I was eliminating some medications and cutting doses of others. My back pain is virtually gone. I now have more energy and have even taken up a new hobby—golf. I am thrilled to be able to walk all 18 holes of a challenging golf course.
In addition to regaining my health through [FLT], I have also regained my virility. I am so enthused about the results of participating…I am determined to continue it as a lifetime challenge.”
– Paul Greer, 57, who reduced his body fat by only 3.6%, but decreased his blood pressure from 136/66 mm Hg to 113/64 mm Hg and his blood sugar levels from 219 to 120 by following the FirstLine Therapy program featuring a medical food for healthy body composition

Patrick’s Prevention
“The health benefits and changes that I have noted through the FirstLine Therapy program were how all the foods assigned worked together to control sugar levels and increase my metabolism. Diabetes runs in my family, and through the knowledge I have gained in FirstLine Therapy, I can instill changes in my family to break this genetic disposition.
I never realized how full one can get eating small, balanced meals every three hours. I am not as hungry as I used to be in the afternoons before dinner time. I am more conscious of quality of the foods I eat. I enjoy planning meals and snacks for the work week. The vending machine has no further attraction for me.
I continue to lose weight weekly and have started exercising and walking daily. Thank you, FirstLine Therapy, for the changes in my life.”
– Patrick Mann, 44, who lowered his blood pressure from 127/72 mm Hg to 115/70 mm Hg with the FirstLine Therapy program using a medical food for healthy body composition

Kay’s Comeback
“I am one of those women who began to gain weight during menopause. Of course, I think I also was not making the best choices in food. The weight kept coming on, and in jest my comment was, ‘If you can’t reduce it, decorate it!’ Not funny when the increase in weight affects your health. My cholesterol went up, I became insulin resistant, and I required blood pressure medication.
Time to do something. So first it was [a popular low-carb diet], then [another popular, low-sugar, multiple phase diet]. All met with moderate success but were very difficult to maintain over a long period. [My doctor] suggested I try the [FLT] approach.
The program makes you accountable by maintaining a food diary and by requiring weekly weigh-ins, and every six weeks a BIA test. What a difference! The program gives you wonderful food choices. You are never hungry. The [medical food] bars and shakes are delicious. But most of all, the program is doable and brings success.
Many of my friends have called me a ‘clothes horse.’ What a wonderful experience it is now to be able to wear beautiful and attractive clothes that have hung in my closet for years. It is like having a new wardrobe. I have literally lost inches and inches in my waist and hips and bust. My face has become thinner; my skin tones are brighter and clearer. Every day I receive compliments on my appearance.
My job requires me to meet with potential clients and existing clients. I have a new and positive attitude. I am more positive because I know that my first impression will be of an attractive and successful woman.
I recommend the Challenge to anyone who is interested in bettering their health and their appearance.”
– Kay Crookshanks, 65, reduced her body fat by 5.9% in 12 weeks using the FirstLine Therapy program using a medical food for healthy body composition

Toni’s Tale
“I am honored to tell anyone who will listen how this program has changed my life. In fact, there are a few of my friends who are now utilizing this program to benefit their lives.
At 30 years old, I have been obese most of my adult life. There have been periods of time that I have been successful in weight loss, only to give up hope when my health was still suffering. I have struggled with depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, fatigue, and too many ‘symptoms’ to list. At my last checkup, when all the tests came back in, my blood pressure and depression were being controlled by prescriptions. My anxiety level was still hard to manage, and my cholesterol had begun to reach unhealthy levels. To make matters worse, I was becoming insulin resistant. [My doctor] informed me that, in her opinion, if I didn’t do something soon, I would be diabetic in 3 years’ time. She could prescribe more medicines to help control cholesterol, etc., but she would really like me to try a new program she was starting.
Now, let’s skip to the exciting part. After 6 weeks on the program, I quit taking my high blood pressure meds. I felt better than I had in years. I had improved mental clarity, the insomnia that had plagued me since childhood was gone! There was also the added benefit of weight loss! My friends, family, and co-workers were noticing the great results I was having. It was difficult for me to believe that all of these changes were truly happening through diet and exercise. My family was also eating healthier, and was still happy, even with all that ‘health food’ stuff.
After completing the initial 12-week program, I am continuing with this great lifestyle. I have the best health that I can remember having, and feel so fortunate to be able to tell everyone who I think could benefit from this program what an easy change it is to make. I haven’t had one person who I have talked to deny that their health could definitely be better!
Please consider using my testimonial to help anyone who is unsure about trying this program. The benefits to overall health are incredible!”
– Toni Hale, 30, who reduced her body fat by 9.6% in 12 weeks on the FirstLine Therapy program featuring a medical food for healthy body composition

Violet’s Victory
“Three months ago, my daughter asked me if I wanted to go to a meeting with her on a new diet program offered by her healthcare provider. At the meeting, I found out that this wasn’t just for weight loss, but they also offered a natural medication for joints. Since I have rheumatoid arthritis, I was excited to learn more. I have been taking methotrexate for around 20 years, and at the time was taking [over-the-counter naproxen] 4-6 tablets daily for several months.
After starting the program, taking [the natural joint relief product] 3 times daily, and fish oil 2 tablets twice daily, I am now [naproxen]-free and I have been for about 9 weeks. I also in the last 3 weeks have been able to quit taking methotrexate with my arthritis doctor’s approval. My joints are showing no inflammation.
I can now walk 2 miles daily, swim for an hour twice a week, and work out on my strength building machines without stiffness or pain. My pain in the past kept me from doing things I enjoy. I now have the energy to spend quality time with my family, especially my granddaughters.
My weight loss made me feel good about myself again. So I am eager to tell everybody I know with weight or arthritis problems about this terrific program.
I am truly blessed to have a wonderful daughter who thought about me and what this program could for my health and my way of life.”
– Violet Kelsey, 55, who reduced her body fat percentage by 7.8% in only 12 weeks participating on the FirstLine Therapy program, using a medical food for healthy body composition, a nutraceutical product for joint relief, and omega-3 essential fatty acids.
Tim Lowers Diabetes Risk
Tim Robison had been told he was at risk for diabetes. His cholesterol and LDL were also a little high. He is still losing weight and is extremely pleased with the progress he has made in only 12 weeks.

Janis Improves Digestion
Janis Bratton sought help with chronic digestive problems. She had radiation colitis due to cancer treatments in the past and had been suffering with diarrhea for four years. The removal of her colon had been recommended but she was reluctant to follow this advice and came to see us as a "last resort."
When she first started FLT, she could not tolerate fresh vegetables and the high calorie foods she could tolerate had caused a lot of weight gain. She had not been able to lose weight for years or eat normal because of her condition. She not only lost weight, but is able to eat things like salads and fresh vegetables that she had missed for so many years. Her diarrhea is much improved and her whole attitude has changed.

Mark Manages Type 2 Diabetes
Mark Gorley had just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes upon presentation. He was on four medications and wanted to be healthy and get off medications if possible. Prior to starting FLT, his triglycerides (on medication) were 409. After 12 weeks on FLT, his triglycerides dropped to 147. His cholesterol prior to starting FLT was 234, and dropped to 157.
His doctor has told him that he is no longer diabetic and has taken him off all medications. Needless to say, he is thrilled with the way he feels and is extremely pleased with his "new" body!

James Conquers Hypertriglyceridemia
James Bradway sought help from the FLT program because his triglycerides were no longer responding to medication. His wife is a registered nurse and didn't like him being on all the medication he was taking. His triglycerides had been over 795 in the past, and were at 437 when he started FLT.
In just 12 weeks, he lost almost 30 pounds, his triglycerides dropped dramatically, and his fasting glucose level improved. Both James and his wife were thrilled with his results.

The Wellness Lifestyle Program

What is a Wellness Lifestyle?

A wellness lifestyle means living your life in a way that improves your health. It means making choices every day that will enhance your health, enabling you to achieve a full, and healthy life. Isn’t that what everybody wants? Good health, full function, and absence of disease well into old age? If that’s what you want, the FirstLine Therapy program can help.

 A wellness lifestyle is possible for everyone, but to achieve it you need to know which choices are good for you and which ones are not. There is a lot of misinformation about what is healthy and what is unhealthy. Even the advice from professionals often seems to change from day to day. The FirstLine Therapy program will provide you with the knowledge you need to make healthy lifestyle choices each day going forward.

 Helping patients adopt a wellness lifestyle is the first and possibly the most important therapy doctors can use to treat many chronic health problems. Consider a few facts:

 • 91% of type 2 diabetes cases could be prevented by the adoption of healthy habits and lifestyle choices.

 • The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends lifestyle changes as the most important and cost-effective way to lower cholesterol.

 • Lifestyle changes are now recommended as the “first line therapy” for the major chronic diseases in our society:

° Heart Disease                                            ° Arthritis
º Stroke                                                          º Osteoporosis
º Diabetes                                                      º Alzheimer’s Disease
º Cancer

• Lifestyle choices are also the key to many symptoms that are not classified as diseases:

 º Fatigue                                                         º Hormone imbalance
 º Stress-related symptoms                           º And many others

 Yes, many of these health problems can be prevented or even treated by adopting a healthy lifestyle. But the FirstLine Therapy program is not just about preventing disease; it’s also about living life to the fullest. It’s about feeling good every day; waking up and wanting to get going in the morning; having the energy to do the things you want to do, all day long; living without pain; performing at your best; and aging gracefully and healthfully. It is designed to help you achieve better health now, and maintain good health for a lifetime.

 The Impact of Nutrition and Lifestyle

 A wellness lifestyle is based on the premise that many of the chronic conditions associated with aging-hypertension, cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, osteoarthritis, as well as several forms of cancer- are not inevitable outcomes of the aging process. Instead, these diseases are largely preventable simply by making sound lifestyle choices. Things that many people view as signs of aging such as low energy, poor memory, low libido, chronic pain, and weight gain are not signs of aging at all. They’re signs of illness.

 The science-based concept that led to development of the FirstLine Therapy program is this: adopting habits of living that are healthy can delay the onset of illness in old age and increase the years of good health. That is, rather than having many years of declining health and loss of function, good health and high levels of function are maintained well into old age and the years of infirmity and declining function are compressed into the final years of life.

 Body Health Scan & Lifestyle Wellness Program

Following a fantastic and positive response from our initial group of patients who experienced an EIS scan, we have decided to make this new cutting edge health monitoring device available to all patients, before we go public with it.

 The EIS system is a scientifically validated, non-invasive total body health monitoring system that can be used to ensure you are able to reach your health and wellness goals.

 It is recommended that if you are contemplating making health changes in your lifestyle, you have an EIS scan to establish a baseline of function. As you start on your road of healing, a periodic update scan will ensure the lifestyle changes you have made are healthy ones. Rescanning will allow fine tuning in your wellness program to ensure that you are maximizing your true health potential. Like blood pressure checkups, the EIS scan requires a minimum of 3 scans to establish a diagnosis. We therefore recommend no fewer then 3 scans to ensure accuracy and effect.
