Vancouver Island Naturopathic Clinic Inc. is very pleased to announce the launch of the First Line Therapy (FLT) Program, a comprehensive program that can help you address unwanted weight gain and lifestyle related health complaints such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes/metabolic syndrome, chronic pain and other conditions related to aging. This Program is based on clinically effective means of promoting weight loss while maintaining muscle mass to improve body composition.

Different FLT packages have been developed to suit patients needs. All plans include clinical nutrition, menu planning, exercise programs, stress counseling and bioelectric impedance analysis testing. BIA analysis provides information on your body composition including fat mass, lean body mass, cellular hydration, phase angle, basal metabolic rate and BMI. Our doctors then provide you with an individualized program to address your unique needs. We also offer you recommendations for dietary supplementation as needed.

Further options to enhance the basic plan include: vitamin injections (offer higher absorption than oral dosing), intravenous therapies (help with immune system enhancement), and/or acupuncture (aids in weight loss, food cravings, stress management, pain). Enrollment into the program includes a First Line Therapy binder with information to educate the patient on various relevant topics which are to be read and then discussed with your Naturopathic Doctor.

Contact the clinic today to enroll in one of these plans to not only help you achieve better health now but to maintain good health for a lifetime.
