New Program for Achieving Optimal Weight

More and more, we're all becoming aware of how important a role nutrition plays in one's full circle of health. Over indulgence or improper nutrition sap our life force, whereas balanced sustenance can fill us with energy and focus.

Lewis Chiropractic & Wellness is pleased to announce the creation of a medically proven, safe, and effective weight-loss program. The program, called FirstLine Therapy, is an individual assessment of each patient's metabolic needs in order to use weight loss as a "first line therapy" to achieve optimal health.

We can help you achieve a healthy body composition. By that we mean reducing fat while retaining and even increasing lean muscle tissue. Our program includes practical dietary guidelines, a simple exercise plan, and a delicious and nutritionally balanced medical food to promote healthy body composition.

1 — A Healthy Diet
It is important to reduce the amount of calories in your diet without compromising your body's nutritional needs. The low-calorie diets commonly used in weight-loss programs may not be beneficial, and may even produce fatigue, dizziness, and weakness. A diet consisting of a variety of fruits, vegetables, and fiber-enriched whole grains, as well as a healthy protein and fat, will ensure adequate nutrition and a feeling of fullness.

2 — Personalized Nutritional Support
Nutritional supplementation has been shown to help patients achieve their desired weight and fat-to-lean ratio. Providing a high quality, nutrition-based medical food may be particularly beneficial. A study showed that patients on a medical food program lost most of their weight from fat. This is in contrast to patients on a popular, over-the-counter diet drink program who lost the majority of their weight from muscle — despite participating in the same exercise routine and consuming the same foods as those on the medical food program.

3 — A Simple Exercise Program
A healthy body composition program should include some kind of exercise. Numerous studies have show that non-vigorous exercise, such as moderately brisk walking, can provide health benefits similar to those of more vigorous activities like running. Resistance exercise (e.g., light weightlifting) may also be beneficial.

At Lewis Chiropractic Health Center, we will be your coach into a newer, healthier lifestyle of nutrition that will give you the optimal energy levels you deserve in life. For more information on our FirstLine Therapy, read more here and / or contact us to schedule an appointment.
