Improve Your Health By Changing Your Lifestyle! |
First Line Therapy will help you learn simple things you can do every day to take control of your health - such as eating correctly, exercise, stress management and appropriate nutritional supplementation. Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) are the first, and possibly the most important therapy doctors may prescribe to treat many chronic health problems. Lifestyle changes are now recommended as the "first line of therapy" for treating chronic illness or reducing the risks of other serious health conditions, such as:
- Heart disease
- Stroke (cerebral vascular disease)
- Diabetes
- Arthritis
- Osteoporosis
- Obesity/weight control issues
- Elevated cholesterol/triglycerides
- High blood sugar
- Alzherimer's disease
- Metabolic syndrome
Lifestyle choices are also the key to addressing other health concerns and symptoms, such as:
- Fatigue
- Hormone imbalance
- Low sex drive (libido)
- Stress-related symptoms
- Poor memory or lack of mental clarity
Many of these health problems can be reversed or even treated by adopting a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle starts with knowledge - the knowledge to make informed decisions that impact your health every day. With this program you'll get easy ways to track your progress, tips for success and support to help you achieve your goals.
The Wycoff Wellness Center will personalize your First Line Therapy (FLT) program based on your individual health issues. We may recommend a medical food program, diet changes and nutritional supplements to address one or more of the following specific concerns:
- Inflammatory conditions
- Blood sugar regulation
- Altered body composition (high fat-to-lean tissue ratio)
- Hormone imbalance
- Liver toxicity, environmental deficiencies or gastrointestinal restoration
Each program includes a specific, clinically designed dietary plan to maximize effectiveness of the nutritional support and is designed to fit the way you live: tasty recipes, portable and delicious nutritional support, simple exercise and reliable outcomes.
Metagenics is the industry leader in the development of medical foods. Designed to address the unique nutritional needs of patients with specific disease concerns, medical foods are an important part of a comprehensive therapeutic lifestyle change (TLC) program.
Medical foods are intended for the specific dietary management of a disease or condition and deliver a scientifically formulated combination of macronutrients - such as protein and select fats - as well as micronutrients, herby and phytonutrients. Delivering macronutrients in combination with other nutritional factors can provide support for conditions, as well as a convenient and easy way to modify one's diet.
The Wycoff Wellness Center uses the following Metagenic's products to support our FLT program. Specific information about each product may be obtained by going to the Wycoff Wellness Center On-Line Store by clicking on the blue "Metagenics" logo on the upper left of this page.
