- Information - Knowing is 1/2 the battle
- Motivation - Accountability is 1 of 2 proven means to success.
- Detoxification - The solution to Pollution is Dilution.
- Preservation - Learn to communicate comfort to your body by reducing Emotional, Physical, or Biochemical Stress so your
body stops preserving fat. - Subluxation - Previous physical trauma can promote Preservation.

How Well Does it Work?
The program we use is based on a clinically proven system of improving body composition while also improving other risk
factors for heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke.
It is called FirstLine Therapy.Please listen to this testimonial to get an idea of how it works.
Essentially, FirstLine Therapy addresses:
- How Much you eat : By testing your body composition, you can know what you're made of
- -- how much is fat & how much is lean body mass.
- How Frequently you eat : Regulating blood sugar can almost totally stop those cravings.
- What you eat : It's not just about losing weight. It's about losing the FAT and not the muscle. It's also about being MORE healthy as
you go through the process. This is a big distinction with our program.
- Exercise : Regular exercise of the right intensity (not too easy, not too hard) is essential for promoting fat loss, muscle tone, blood sugar
regulation, and MUCH more.
- Stress Reduction/Management : Emotional, Physical, or Biochemical Stress causes a reaction of the adrenal glands and blood
chemicals that often causes the body to preserve fat!

What does it Include and What does it Cost?
- Most often we will write up a ~14-week plan and spread the cost over this time or provide a 10% bookkeeping discount for prepayment,
but you may pay as you go also. -- it all usually adds up to about $398 for the services. Many people usually like to get some additional
nutritional products as listed under "Tools for Change" below, but these are usually not necessary for most people, just convenient.
- Comprehensive Weight-Loss Evaluation, including Body Composition Testing - $96
- • Oxidata Test – measures Free Radical Damage happening in your body NOW so we know if you are eating
enough fruits and vegetables to prevent early aging. (This may be done 1-4 times over 14 weeks.)
• Adrenal Stress – Measures an adrenal stress marker (in the urine) to see how stress your body is so we know how stressed
your body thinks you are and what it will take to keep your adrenal from fatiguing. (This may be done 1-4 times over 14 weeks.)
• Blood Pressure – Measures sit vs. standing and L vs R so we know how well your nervous system/adrenal
gland can balance BP in different situations and sides of the body.
• Urinary Sugar (Blood Excess) – Measures urine blood sugar so we know if you have very high blood sugar
(above 160 to 180 mg/dL) which causes it to spill into the urine.
• Spinal Subluxations – Measures affects of previous spinal trauma and how well you have recovered so we
know if spinal nerve reflexes may be contributing to organ dysfunction and higher cortisol levels.
• Urine Indican (malabsorption) – Measures a poor digestion marker to see if you are not digesting and absorbing nutrients properly.
(This may be done 1-4 times over 14 weeks.)
- • Body Composition – Measure your lean body mass and Total Body Fat so we know what part or you to feed to
help prevent diabetes, heart disease, etc.. (This may be done 6 times over 14 weeks.)
• Questionnaire & Journal Evaluation – See the questionnaires below in the "What to Do Now" section.

version. They will ask you to register before taking the survey. We have no association with this company.) (We recommend
emWave Personal Stress Reliever to some of our patients.) We have a less comprehensive version of this available on the "Inflammation
Questionnaire" which you can find in our "Paperwork" page. - Use this Temperature Chart and the
- Iodine Patch Test

Is there a faster way to lose weight?
Give us a call (635-8266) to set up your Comprehensive Weight-Loss Evaluation
- Absolutely. Of course, weight is important to get correct, because it affects your health negatively by putting stress on your joints and
often your heart. But weight does not tell the whole story. In our office, we have a priority of focus: Health > Fat > Weight
- 1) Health first - If your body is healthy, you are going to have the energy and comfort to accomplish your other goals. So, if its is a
sluggish mind, a sluggish body, a painful joint, nerve, or muscle, a weak or overactive immune system, a high genetic/family risk of
disease, or other health issue, health is the best way to resolve the problem. Health means that the body is working at 100%
function. Of course, with tissue damage over time, 100% health isn't possible, but we function at 100% of our health capacity. That
means "Be the best you can be." If we focus here FIRST, the other goals will be easier and longer-lasting.
2) Fat second - By now, you know that muscle weighs more than fat, right. Fat floats in water; muscle sinks. If you focus on the
scale (your weight), you may be discouraged when you are actually making good progress. Notice this example which is common in
our office:
- Patient A, a 48-year old woman eats, exercises, and relaxes her mind with the priority of Health > Fat > Weight
Patient B, a 48-year old woman eats and exercises with the priority of Lose Weight
- Patient A lost 12 pounds.
Patient B lost 12 pounds.
- Patient A lost 15 pounds of fat and gained 3 pounds of (fat-burning) muscle.
Patient B lost 9 pounds of fat and LOST 3 pounds of (fat-burning) muscle.
- Which one do YOU think is going to have a harder time KEEPING off the weight and the fat?
- If you lose weight the correct way, with lifestyle change, habit change, and getting at the root cause, you will be more successful in the
long-run.
3) Weight third -Yes, weight is important, but from the above example, you can see that low weight does not mean healthy. To
extremes are the body builder (or just a big, strong guy) who has a lot of muscle and who would be classified as "overweight" and the
thin fat person who has an "ideal body weight" but has very little muscle and a high body fat percentage even though they look
skinny. These are differences that are easy for use to measure in the office.
The focus which is just on weight uses the BMI. If you are familiar with the BMI (Body Mass Index), which basically measures your
weight as compared to your height, you can see the potential flaws. It is good for statistics, but YOU are not a statistic!
