FirstLine Therapy: Changing the Face of Health Care
What if you could go to work each day knowing you are dramatically changing your patients' health—and their lives? That's the feeling that many FirstLine Therapy practitioners experience every day by helping patients manage, reduce risk to, and even reverse chronic illness.

What is FirstLine Therapy? A personalized lifestyle medicine program centered on therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC) such as healthy nutrition, nutritional products, exercise, and stress management.

A New Standard for Managing Chronic Illness

Leading health organizations now recommend TLC as the "first line of therapy" for treating and reducing the risk of common conditions such as:

  • Overweight/Obesity
  • High cholesterol
  • High blood pressure
  • Metabolic syndrome
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Osteoporosis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Conditions related to aging

Lifestyle choices are also the key to addressing other health concerns and symptoms, such as:

  • Fatigue
  • Hormone imbalance
  • Low sex drive
  • Stress-related symptoms
  • Poor memory or lack of mental clarity
  • And many others

A Turnkey Program for Any Clinical Setting

If you're like most health care providers, you lack the time, the tools, the training, or a practical financial model to allow you to give your patients the help they really need to make meaningful lifestyle changes.

That's why we developed the FirstLine Therapy Certification Program—to provide you with all the training and tools you need to easily implement a successful TLC program in your clinical setting.

The FirstLine Therapy Certification Program

FirstLine Therapy is the only certification program to offer health care practitioners and physicians a complete, turnkey system to reverse chronic illness through TLC. In this intensive 3 1/2 day training and certification, you'll learn how to:

  • Integrate TLC counseling into your practice
  • Create an effective clinic flow and staff organization
  • Screen candidates and evaluate progress
  • Use bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to monitor and motivate patients
  • Build skills for those new to health-coaching relationships
  • Teach patients healthy eating habits they can maintain for life
  • Prescribe effective, research-based nutritional protocols
  • Promote FirstLine Therapy in your community

Plus, you'll learn clinical implementation pearls from successful FirstLine Therapy practitioners.

This program is presented in an interactive format with components for physicians, licensed health care providers (with responsibility to prescribe TLC), and key staff members called Lifestyle Educators who will help educate, motivate, and monitor patients.
