Nutritional Counseling & Meal Planning

Safe natural therapy to heal illness and improve well-being

Nutritional counseling focuses on helping clients understanding foods and their role in preventive nutrition.

Our nutritionists offer the following services:

  • FirstLine Therapy: A lifestyle modification program to guide your return to a path of extended health. FirstLine Therapy is a disease-reduction program with the primary goal of helping individuals achieve and maintain a healthy body composition (lean muscle-to-fat ratio) in order to improve health, manage disease, feel better, and reduce the risk of serious conditions.
  • Meal planning: Our nutritionists customize a meal plan for you based on your conditions, treatments plans, personal goals. You work directly with your nutritional counselors to achieve your health, weight and wellness goals.

Health Tips

underdiagnosed hypothyroidism
WHEN YOU’RE NOT GETTING HELP WITH YOUR THYROID

Delay aging and Monitor Your Progress

Most people figure they must be getting older based on how they feel and look. We wince at our first grey hair, deepening wrinkles, and shifting body fat.
