First Line Therapy

The Therapeutic Lifestyle and Weight Loss Program

As you full-service San Antonio OBGYN, we want to provide you with unbeatable guidance that keeps you healthy in every facet of your life. FirstLine Therapy (FLT) is a specialized therapeutic lifestyle change program unlike any other in that the FLT system targets the underlying causes of chronic illnesses by incorporating a sensible eating plan, exercise, nutritional supplementation, and stress management. In fact, the following key characteristics are unique to the FLT program:

  • FLT is Not Just a Weight Loss Program - Most Programs are focused on weight while FLT is best used as a first line treatment for common, chronic health problems (e.g., high cholesterol, insulin resistance, unhealthy body composition).
  • The FLT Eating Plan is Different - Most programs are focused on low-fat diets while FLT emphasizes the importance of a low-glycemic eating plan that is consistent with current research.
  • FLT Incorporates Medical Foods and Nutritional Supplements - The appropriate use of medical foods and supplements enhances program effectiveness and shortens the time it takes for you to achieve risk reduction goals.
  • FLT Has Been Demonstrated to Be Effective in Human Clinical Studies - Most programs lack clinical evidence of effectiveness

The HS-Omega-3 Complex

Omega-3 oils (also called "fatty acids") are essential in the human diet and are good for your heart and health. Researchers have discovered that higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acids in your blood can reduce your risk for sudden cardiac death by up to 90%.

The HS-Omega-3 Index is a new laboratory test that measures the amount of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in your red blood cells. The HS-Omega-3 Index will help you determine your risk for sudden cardiac death. You can reduce your risk by increasing your HS-Omega-3 Index.

This test was developed by Dr. William Harris and Dr. Clemens Von Schacky, a cardiologist from Munich, Germany. It is being used by researchers around the world to study the relationships between omega-3 levels and the risk for a variety of other diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, macular degeneration, and arthritis, in addition to heart disease.

No blood tests predict your risk for sudden cardiac death better than the HS-Omega-3 Index.


Optimal Nutritional Evaluation

Rather than follow the daily recommended intake of supplements, the ONE can calculate your personalized daily recommendation of each vitamin supplement, guiding you to optimal health and energy levels. These measurements are based on a simple blood and urine analysis which will allow us to send you off with an individualized vitamin health pack, made just for you! In addition, amino acids are measured to assess digestion, absorption, metabolic impairments, and nutritional deficits. Antioxidant reserves and the presence of oxidative injury are also analyzed.


Menopausal Assessment with Bioidentical Hormones & Saliva Testing

Hormone replacement is one approach to women's wellness. Bioidentical hormones offer women an individual and unique combination to replace hormones that the body may be deficient in. A woman may choose to have her hormones evaluated by saliva testing; a new method of hormone testing which has been used by the CDC and NASA.

Metabolic Testing

Measures individual metabolic rate, allowing a precise individualized program for successful weight loss. This information is used to design a precise nutritive guide for weight loss, based on your body's required caloric intake. By knowing the exact number of calories required by your body, you will be able to lose weight without feeling hungry and tired. This is a 10 minute test that requires you to do nothing but relax and breathe!


Allergy Testing

Provides both patients and healthcare professionals with a tool to successfully overcome a wide variety of conditions, such as digestive disorders, migraines, obesity, chronic fatigue, skin disorders and arthritis, which results from food and chemical sensitivities. This blood test helps to identify possible reactions to over 350 foods, chemicals, and other substances associated with inflammation which is linked to a plethora of conditions.


Hair Analysis

A simple way to determind heavy metal toxicity. Exposure comes from mercury-amalgam dental fillings, lead in paint and tap water, chemical residues in processed foods, and "personal care" products (cosmetics, shampoo and other hair products, mouthwash, toothpaste, and soap.) Thers are presently 600,000 toxic waste contamination sites in the United States alone, according to the U.S. Congressional Office of Technology Assessment.
