Weight Loss and Management
FirstLine Therapy®
A Therapeutic Lifestyle Program for Total Health & Longevity
The pursuit of health and longevity concerns many Americans today. An aging population, high incidence of overweight, obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and a growing concern over the declining health of our children are just a few of the issues.
Our bodies are designed to be healthy. Natural therapies like the ones we offer at Team Health Care Clinic help your body to heal and balance itself, and an important part of that healing involves YOU. Lifestyle- including diet, nutrition and exercise- is an integral part of that process. Notice we said “process!” In other words, there is no magic bullet. Health and longevity is a way of life.
Better Health Now and For a Lifetime…
What is FLT? FirstLine Therapy® is designed to restore health, decrease risk for disease, and promote longevity through lifestyle changes including diet, nutrition, exercise, education, and one-on-one coaching. This program has been clinically shown to reverse disease processes, promote healthy body (lean) mass while decreasing unhealthy (fat) mass, and reduce or manage weight. It does so in a way that promotes long term results because it creates lifetime habits.
Who Needs FLT? Anyone can benefit from developing and maintaining a lifestyle program such as this, but particularly those who are:

If you are overweight, you are at risk for (or already have) high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, certain cancers, sleep apnea and inflammatory conditions.
It is important to address your weight issues if you want to be healthy. It’s not just about actual weight. Many popular weight loss programs claim fast weight loss, but actually result in loss of muscle more than loss of actual fat. Your muscle mass is like the “furnace” of your metabolism. When you lose muscle, you lose the ability to burn higher amounts of calories. This is why so many who use these programs ultimately end up gaining even more weight than when they started!
Body composition (lean vs. fat mass) is critical to maintaining healthy weight and to good health overall. According to a 3 year study at TUFTS University, “Muscle mass is the most important factor in determining how healthy we will be in our later years.”
How Does FLT work? FLT has been clinically shown to promote health by combining high protein foods, low glycemic foods, medical foods, regular eating, nutritional supplements, and physical activity including aerobic and muscle-building exercise. It includes stress management and developing/reinforcing daily habits through regular meetings with specially trained lifestyle educators.
You will receive a weekly test called Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis so you’ll be able to see measurable results. Your lifestyle educator will also use your BIA results to set up your daily meal plan.
How Do I Find Out More? We are offering an initial consultation and your first BIA test free of charge. To schedule, call the clinic at (763) 323-1492. Mention the “FLT Web Offer” so our schedulers can block off enough time for the consultation and testing. Print out this page and present it at the time of your visit.

“It has often been said that this is the only body you’ll ever get, and it must last a lifetime. The only question is how long and healthy that life will be. The simple fact is that you can live well into your 70s, 80s and beyond, in great health…but you need to make the right decisions now for that to happen. If you want to live a full and satisfying life, then you must take back control of your own health- today.” Jon Barron
