Bio-Impedance Analysis (BIA)
The BIA is a simple in-office test that converts easily obtained electrical measurements into information about a person’s body composition including, lean tissue, fat tissue, body water, fluid distribution- inside or outside the cell; and a quantifiable value for tissue health or survivability. The FDA has cleared this as an assessment tool.
Electrical measurements have been used to measure hydration status since 1940. This science has evolved into a cost effective tool. In 1996 the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (64(suppl): 489S) estimated that “body composition can be estimated with simple and easily applied techniques,” (BIA), “and that the estimates are sufficiently precise for use in clinical investigation and practice.” Currently over 200 articles have been written as to the value of the information obtained from a BIA.
24-Hour Urinalysis
The 24 hour urinalysis is a screening procedure that will provide information about your ability to digest and assimilate your diet. Occurrence of many nagging health complaints such as allergies, migraine headaches, and digestive disorders are related to proper digestion.
Analyzing urine for diagnostic purposes has been practiced for centuries. Urine composition reflects a person’s ability to maintain nutritional and metabolic homeostasis. It tells how the body handles dietary intake throughout an entire day and night, not just a few hours.
Homeostatic Digestive Palpation Test
The Homeostatic Digestive Palpation Test was first used in 1986 and is now performed daily by health care practitioners trained in the Loomis System™. The Digestive Health Professional uses the information from this test to correlate their knowledge of neurology and biochemistry with the palpation exam. These findings combined with the 24-hour urinalysis can usually pinpoint the true cause of your digestive symptoms.
10 Day Blood Sugar Support Program
Maintaining a healthy, normal blood sugar metabolism is key for energy, sleep, mood, and appetite. Glucose is an important energy source throughout your body. Ensuring there is enough glucose for tissues but not too much involves a hormonal balance requiring inputs from many systems. The pancreas regulates blood sugar levels by producing healthy insulin, which signals cells of your body to take up glucose. Healthy pancreas function helps keep insulin going into the blood so that energy is maintained. *
Who is this program for?
People with restless sleep, cranky, irritable up and down moods, frequent or constant cravings for sweets or carbs, hearty appetites.

10 Day Clear Change® Program
10 day metabolic detoxification program to help the body’s natural clearance process and activities (aided by the liver, kidneys, and colon) to remove chemicals and other unwanted and potentially harmful substances. Food-restriction based rather than calorie-restricted. This is a guided program.
28 Day Clear Change® Program
This metabolic detox program is recommended for those who suffer from food sensitivities. An elimination diet is the BEST way to determine food sensitivities. Lab tests have a wide margin of error. Your body will tell you what it cannot tolerate. By eliminating certain foods, then introducing them back, you will be able to establish sensitivities. The next step is to find the cause of the sensitivities and work to heal the imbalances that cause the sensitivity. *
FirstLine Therapy®
“The major determinants of most important diseases are dietary and lifestyle factors. If we are to truly enhance the wellbeing of our patients, lifestyle medicine needs to be at the core of good practice.”
Walter Willett, MD, DrPH, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School
A therapeutic lifestyle means living your life in a way that improves your health. It means making choices every day that will enhance your health, enabling you to achieve a full, healthy life. The FirstLine Therapy™ program will provide you with the knowledge you need to make healthy lifestyle choices each day going forward.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends lifestyle changes as the most important and cost effective way to lower cholesterol. Lifestyle changes are now recommended as the “first line therapy” for the major chronic diseases in our society:
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- Arthritis
- Cancer
- Osteoporosis
- Alzheimer’s disease
A therapeutic lifestyle is based on the premise that many of the chronic conditions associated with aging—hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, as well as several forms of cancer—are not inevitable outcomes of the aging process. Instead, these diseases are largely preventable simply by making sound lifestyle choices. Things that many people view as signs of aging—such as low energy, poor memory, low libido, chronic pain, and weight gain—are not signs of aging at all. They’re signs of illness.
FirstLine Therapy™ promotes adopting habits of living that are healthy in order to delay the onset of illness in old age, and increase the years of good health.
As you follow the guidelines of the FirstLine Therapy™ program, you will realize how wonderful it is to be able to control your aging and prolong your vitality. You will benefit in many ways: more energy, better sleep, less body fat, more strength, healthier skin and hair, fewer aches and pains, and renewed vigor and vitality.
“If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.”
