Looking for something more than prescription medications to manage your symptoms?
Treat the ROOT cause with Lifestyle Medicine. Welcome to First Line Therapy™!
​
Did you know that over 80% of our 3.3 trillion dollars in health care expenditures goes towards the treatment of chronic lifestyle diseases here in the United States? Yet what we are mostly doing to treat people with chronic lifestyle diseases is mostly not working. We need a new way to treat individuals with these concerns. Welcome to First Line Therapy - the first line approach to reversing these conditions using 21st-century medicine.
​
All First Line Therapy Programs are implemented over 14 weeks. Why 14 weeks? Because the end goal of your program is to help you establish new habits and new behaviors that continue to service your health for the rest of your life. Social studies show that it takes about 3 months to make a new behavior change a habit. Since most chronic diseases are caused by poor diet and lifestyle, improving these and implementing new habits is thus a remedy. Our First Line Therapy team helps you do that!
