At Blau Family Chiropractic, we’re all about adjusting your lifestyle so you can be as healthy as possible. We now have a service to complement your chiropractic care to help you create health in your life; it is called FirstLine Therapy; FLT. Our Lifestyle Educator, Rachel, can help you implement therapeutic lifestyle changes to prevent and even treat chronic diseases. Did you know that illness is NOT a normal part of aging?

Why FirstLine Therapy?

Chronic diseases account for 78% of annual healthcare costs, and they also account for a third of the years of potential life lost before age 65. Most chronic diseases are caused by unhealthy lifestyles; for example: 91% of type 2 diabetes cases are caused by unhealthy habits.

What is FirstLine?

We give you TLC—the TLC you’re familiar with, and a Therapeutic Lifestyle Change program. The TLC program is recommended by leading health care organizations as the first-line of treatment for the following conditions, and more:

*Heart Disease

*High blood pressure

*Stroke

*Diabetes

*High Cholesterol

*Metabolic Syndrome

*Osteoarthritis

*Osteoporosis

*Prostate Problems

*Stress Related Disorders

*Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

*PMS

*Fatigue Disorders

*Conditions related to Overweight and Obesity

What is the FLT TLC Program all about?

We’ll teach you how to make choices to enhance your health and help prevent disease; increasing your years of good health and full function and possibly delay the onset of illness later in life. Unlike many programs, FirstLine Therapy is clinically proven to enhance your health!

FLT is NOT:

A weight loss program. Though many people will lose weight as part of the program if that is one of their health goals, we focus on body composition—increasing lean mass while reducing fat. A simple, painless, non-invasive procedure called a Bioelectric Impedance Analysis helps us determine your specific needs, and we come up with a personalized plan for you, incorporating a food plan, exercise, nutritional supplementation and stress management.

How does it work?

We recommend a 12 week program that starts with a 1.5 hour initial visit to go over your health history, current challenges and your goals. We also do a BIA test at this beginning point to measure your beginning body composition. Together, we come up with a personalized that that will work for you. We follow up in one week with a half hour visit to get a feel for how things are going and make any  modifications to your plan if needed. Then over the remaining 12 weeks, we meet 5 more times to follow up.
