Anti-Aging and Longevity Treatments Remember when you were in college and stayed up all night drinking beer, eating pizza, and partying; yet you still were able to attend class in the morning? How many of you could do that now?
The core focus of the Patient’s Medical Practice is to treat the entire person. Preventative health care programs are offered to existing patients or new patients who want to learn how to make changes in their lifestyle and nutrition to support a robust, healthy life.
Our mission is to inspire and empower our clients to live extraordinary lives by nourishing themselves from the inside out. Our goal is to clear up the confusion around healthy diets and lifestyle and to promote disease prevention. We support our clients by helping them discover a personalized, natural way of eating that works for them and meets their health goals while providing them with the energy to enjoy a wonderful life. As a result the positive changes they make can be sustained and integrated into their personal lifestyle and address the needs of their unique body.
Whether you are seeking treatment for a complex medical condition, weight loss, or would like general information on improving overall health, you will leave your initial appointment with useful knowledge you can implement immediately into your life.
Patient’s Medical offers a variety of Nutrition Program options to meet your needs. Some clients choose to visit once, and then schedule individual follow up appointments as required, while others request a full program with pre-scheduled follow-up meetings. Some opt for phone consultations as their schedules do not accommodate regular office visits.
We encourage you to commit to a program up front as it not only insures ample time for you to obtain the support you need to develop new habits that enable you to achieve and maintain your results, but it also saves you money. Whatever your preference, we will tailor a healthy nutrition and lifestyle plan to meet your specific needs with full collaboration with your physicians and therapists when appropriate.
Areas of Expertise
Patient Medical’s Customized Weight Management Program
Achieving long-term weight loss has proven to be an insurmountable challenge for most people. Studies show that while some people are able to achieve short-term weight loss by combining restrictive calorie intake with exercise, a significant majority gain their weight back within two years or less. Most have not made any changes to their eating habits, lifestyle or how they think about food, so they revert back to old habits as soon as they “finish” their “diet”.
We believe that a diet is not something you go “on and off” but instead is a part of your lifestyle, including what not only what you eat and but also your behaviors and thoughts around food. This comprehensive approach is what distinguishes our program. It not only helps to clear up the confusion around overwhelming and conflicting nutritional information but also equips you with the support, tools and techniques you need to achieve permanent weight loss. We focus on eating healthfully and making lifestyle and mindset changes to reach and support ideal weight and health long term. Our coaching centers on empowering clients to improve their lives by making permanent, sustainable changes and creating balance through supportive nutrition and personal growth.
Once you meet with the Nutritionist you will map out your specific goals so your program can be customized to resolve your individual concerns unique to your mind and body. Your Nutrition Coach, will work with you to develop a complete, practical and effective Wellness Program that addresses your specific needs, challenges, mindset and lifestyle, finding the right plan for you. Not only will this approach get you results, but it will allow you to sustain them. These comprehensive programs are designed to have clients take charge of their health and resolve their health issues while acquiring the tools for a lifetime of balance and permanent weight loss.
Finally you can be free of continual weight fluctuations and the demoralization and frustrations that accompany them.

A. Our Extensive Staff of Medical Professionals
Patients Medical uses the patented FirstLine Therapy® (FLT) weight loss program because it works! FirstLine Therapy® (FLT) is a supervised Therapeutic Lifestyle Change (TLC) program that is managed by our nutritionist with the support of our full staff of medical doctors. The FirstLine Therapy® program not only helps you reach a healthy weight permanently, but also teaches you to evolve into a lifestyle that arms you with a first line treatment to prevent common, chronic health problems. FirstLine Therapy is about making choices every day that will enable you to lose weight, and achieve a long, full, and healthy life.
By controlling your weight you can not only prevent chronic disease in the future but also improve your health and the quality of life now.
Why we use the FirstLine Therapy® Program First
Leading health organizations now recommend lifestyle changes as the "first line of therapy" for the treatment and prevention of chronic disease and other serious health threats. Here are just a few of the health conditions that FirstLine Therapy can effectively address:
Think about the life you want to live. You still have a choice and a chance to be the person you’ve always wanted to be.
Many of these common health concerns can be reversed or even treated by making some simple, but important lifestyle changes. Where do you start? Who will be there to help you stay on track?
How FirstLine Therapy Works
One of the reasons diets and exercise programs fail is they are one-dimensional—that is, they focus on weight loss one. FirstLine Therapy isn’t just about weight loss; it’s about achieving a lifetime of good health. Instead of counting calories, you’ll learn:
FirstLine Therapy will help you:
Why FirstLine Therapy Works
FirstLine Therapy has helped thousands of people regain their health, lose weight and live fuller, more vibrant lives. FirstLine Therapy works because:
More specifically there are four key reasons that make FirstLine Therapy® (FLT) different than conventional lifestyle programs:
Eating is not automatic - the beating of your heart is automatic. Before you eat something you always have a thought, even if you are not aware of it. If you do not recognize your thoughts or learn how to respond to them, they will lead you astray from your program. Our program will teach you how to talk back to your sabotaging thoughts so you will be prepared for challenges along the way. Most weight loss diets focus only on what you should eat or not eat. They do not include teaching you what you need to know for a lifetime of weight-loss success. Our program gives you those skills. It not only helps you identify nutritious, satisfying foods for an enjoyable diet, but it also teaches you how to stick to your program and stay motivated day after day, no matter what the situation.
It’s not just the calories; it’s the habits! Making psychological changes is a key step ignored by most programs; which focus only on food. Changing your mindset and habits allows you to feel satisfied with your food choices, your weight and most importantly, yourself. With our support, this time will be different; you will lose weight permanently. You will be taught to change your mind set about healthy eating and stop the cycle of losing and regaining; you will learn the techniques that will enable you to follow your nutritious eating plan in any situation. Once and for all you will gain control of your eating, weight and your life. Finally, past feelings of disappointment and demoralization will be replaced by confidence and self esteem! More specifically it teaches you how to address real life obstacles to consistent, healthy eating.
