First Line Therapy and Medical Food Programs

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability in the U.S. These illnesses are responsible for 7 of every 10 deaths and consume 78% of all health care expenditures. Many of these conditions are caused by unhealthy lifestyles. Changing and managing these choices are essential to restoring health and vitality.

FirstLine Therapy (FLT) is a comprehensive program that will provide you with the knowledge you need to make healthy lifestyle choices. Through one on one counseling and education, this program will help you incorporate an individualized dietary and exercise plan along with nutritional supplementation and stress mangement.

"Inadequate intakes of specific nutrients may produce more than one disease, may produce diseases by more than one mechanism, and require several years for the consequent morbidity to be sufficiently evident to be clinically recognizable as disease.

"It has been eight years since my husband and I both began our journey with First Line Therapy and Medical Foods. Gary, my husband at the time was suffering from heart disease and was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I was a positive match for my nephew in need of a kidney transplant and had recently undergone surgery.
The opportunity arose for both my husband and I to reevaluate our present lifestyle and incorporate positive life changes. We were introduced to UltraClear Plus and UltraInflamx shakes for meal supplements and additional snacks. We both began having a shake for breakfast along with a small protein source and usually a banana or an orange. Gary has an additional shake for an afternoon snack and I supplement my lunch with an additional shake.
Since starting the First Line Therapy (FLT) program, Gary has discontinued his use of three prescription medications he was on for heart disease in addition to delaying certain symptoms associated with the progression of his Parkinson’s disease. We have both lost and maintained a 15lb & 30lb weight loss. We now have more energy to do the things we love.
