At Healthy Connections, we use FirstLine Therapy to evaluate and treat even the most difficult health challenges that affect your physical and emotional well-being. We are committed to helping you harness your body’s natural resources so you can achieve the health and vitality you deserve by discovering the root cause of those health challenges.
We use a personalized lifestyle medicine approach by spending time with you, learning your history and investigating how genetics, the environment and lifestyle factors influence your present and long-term health, this includes comprehensive diagnostic testing, detailed patient evaluations, targeted nutrition plans, and sessions with our certified lifestyle educator to help you navigate and implement healthy lifestyle behaviors designed to support you!
Your personalized FirstLine Therapy program includes:
· A comprehensive health evaluation with blood work and bio-impedence analysis (BIA) body composition testing (with our InBody 570 machine)
· An individualized meal plan based on your clinical and personal health goals
· A First Line Therapy Certified Lifestyle Educator to work with you on dietary and lifestyle changes
· Medical foods to promote a change in your biochemistry to improve your metabolism: food is medicine
· Supplement recommendations to correct underlying metabolic and hormonal imbalances without side effects
· Personalized support at every step.
· Our program is designed to improve your underlying metabolic issues, reducing inflammation , improving cardiovascular and diabetes risk factors, improve body composition and reducing body fat.
· Our Wellness approach is deigned to focus on your individual needs by taking time to know and understand your unique physiology. The FLT program is physician-directed and combines clinical consultations with nutrition and lifestyle education. We also include exercise and stress management coaching because we know a sedentary lifestyle and chronic stress are two of the key contributors to health decline and disease.
