What makes the First Line Therapy Program different than other weight loss plans?

The First Line Therapy program incorporates BIA (Bioelectrical Impedence Analysis) testing for various markers of health, including possible barriers to successful weight loss. Beyond measuring body fat percentage, it can also look at the health of cellular membranes, hydration status, appropriate lean body mass for frame size as well as  irregularities in water allocation which could be related to toxic burden. Basal metabolic rate is also assessed and a healthy diet based on the data is prescribed in conjunction with other therapies such as acupuncture, vitamin injections, IV therapy (as needed). Stress management and physical activity is also addressed to provide for a well balanced healthly weight loss plan.
