First Line Therapy


First Line Therapy – The First Step Toward Better Health!

Good health! Isn’t that what everybody wants? High energy, mental clarity, full function and living without disease well into old age. If good health is important to you, then FirstLine Therapy can help.

First Line Therapy is a “therapeutic lifestyle program” – guidelines and practices that will help you live your life in a way that improves your health. Choosing a therapeutic lifestyle means making choices every day that can enhance your health and help prevent disease, enabling you to achieve a full, healthy life.

South River Compounding & Wellness Center recommends FirstLine Therapy because we believe that a therapeutic lifestyle is the most powerful tool there is to positively impact your health for a lifetime.

Prevent Health Problems
By following a therapeutic lifestyle program such as FirstLine Therapy, you can prevent or even treat many health problems, including:

  • Heart Disease

  • Alzheimer’s Disease

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Osteoporosis

  • Cancer

  • High Blood Pressure

  • Stroke

  • Diabetes

  • High Cholesterol

  • Metabolic Syndrome


Also, leading health organizations recommend a Therapeutic Lifestyle Program as a primary therapy for health problems such as:

  • Stress-related disorders

  • Fatigue disorders

  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

  • PMS

  • Menopause

  • Other hormone-related symptoms

  • Overweight and obesity-related conditions


How First Line Therapy Works
First Line Therapy is based on extensive scientific research demonstrating that many chronic diseases associated with aging are largely caused by lifestyle choices. In other words, you can prevent health problems, or treat them, by adopting a healthy lifestyle.

To achieve optimal health, you need the information to make the right choices for a healthy lifestyle. South River Compounding Pharmacy helps you find this path based on the following fundamentals:

  • Knowledge of a healthy lifestyle

  • Balanced eating habits

  • Regular physical activity

  • Appropriate nutritional supplementation with condition-specific nutrients

  • Stress management for internal balance

  • Sleep for proper mind/body functioning.


Your personalized program includes:

  • Individual consultations with a health professional

  • Initial testing and follow-up testing

  • Nutritional supplement recommendations

  • Weekly visits for lifestyle counseling

  • Your personal FirstLine Therapy guidebook


Getting Started
To measure your progress, you first need to know your current health status. We perform a variety of health assessments, including a measurement of your body composition (the ratio of your body fat to your lean muscle mass). Excess body fat can greatly increase your health risks. Conversely, a higher ratio of muscle increases your metabolism and creates a larger source of proteins to fend off illness.

The most powerful tool in controlling the aging process and restoring vitality is to improve your muscle-to-fat ratio by adding more muscle to your body. This is possible largely through nutrition and a healthy diet, requiring only a simple plan of physical activity to help you reach your health goals.
