First Line Therapy

First Line Therapy is a personalized program centered on therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC) such as healthy nutrition, nutritional products, exercise and stress management.

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.

First Line Therapy is based on extensive research demonstrating that many of the chronic diseases associated with aging can be prevented or even treated by adopting a healthy lifestyle.

The following conditions are effectively managed with FLT:

  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Stroke
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Cancer
  • Diabetes
  • High Cholesterol
  • Metabolic Syndrome
  • Osteoporosis
  • Alzheimer’s disease

FLT has also been associated with successful outcomes in the management of endocrine (hormone) related conditions such as:

  • Stress related disorders
  • Fatigue disorders
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
  • PMS
  • Menopause
  • Other hormone-related symptoms
  • Conditions related to overweight and obesity

Getting started with FLT requires that we first assess where you are now. A variety of health assessment tools may be performed, including a measure of your body composition (the ratio of your body fat to your lean muscle mass).

In consultation with your IHI healthcare team, First Line Therapy is a comprehensive and personalized program that can kick-start your health in a positive and sustainable direction.
