LINDORA'S LEAN FOR LIFE PROGRAM OPTIONS

Lean for Life Clinic Program

Patients interested in the Lean for Life Clinic program receive a free in-person consultation, along with an electronic body composition analysis, which determines one’s level of lean muscle, water, and body fat.

Once a patient enters the program, they are given a thorough medical evaluation, including medical history,  comprehensive lab screenings (including the VAP cholesterol test—the most accurate way to detect your risk—even inherited or “hidden” risk—for heart disease) and blood pressure readings. After reviewing the patient’s data, Lindora’s medical staff then designs a customized weight loss program for the patient.

Clinic patients are individually counseled by nursing staff two to five times each week—depending on the type of program they need. During each visit, they are weighed on an accurate electronic scale, and counseled by a Lindora nurse (who reviews the details of the patient’s program and gives them guidance). Patients may choose to receive a vitamin injection as part of their clinic treatment at no additional charge. If medically appropriate, clinics can prescribe weight loss medications.

Recent Developments and New Services for Clinic Patients

In 2004, Lindora launched its most innovative treatment program yet—The Lindora Metabolic Fitness Treatment Plan™ (MFTP™). The MFTP uses state-of-the-art testing to evaluate a patient’s risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, abnormal cholesterol levels, metabolic syndrome, and other diseases. The program has three components:

1. The Vertical Auto Profile (VAP), a test that measures cholesterol particle size for a more thorough evaluation of risk for heart disease

2. A Blood Chemistry panel, which includes the Hemoglobin A1C test for diabetes, as well as tests for 20 other health conditions.

3. A lifestyle assessment, which examines eating habits, sleep patterns, alcohol consumption and more

From the results of these tests, the patient receives a “score”, called their Metabolic Fitness Quotient™ (MFQ™). The lower the score, the lower one’s overall health risk. The MFQ is an easy way for patients to know and understand their “numbers”—their lab results and health risks. It also allows their Lindora medical professional to customize their program accordingly.

Lindora’s “Lean for Life” Online Program is the “Cyber Clinic” version of their nationally recognized program offered at Lindora’s 34 clinics in Southern California. Online participants receive the same coaching, books, tools, and nutritional products that are used by clinic patients. The Lean for Life Online program is designed for safe, but rapid, weight loss.

Lindora offers their Lean for Life by Phone program as a convenient way for people to access the same clinically proven program offered in the 34 Lindora clinics, but from the convenience of their telephone. 

A certified Lindora by Phone nurse educator guides patients through the program, using the same programs, books, tools and nutritional products developed and used at the Lindora Medical Clinics.

Lindora by Phone nurse educators are available for private, personalized, one-on-one consultations for support, problem solving, or just to listen. They will answer patient questions and respond to any challenges a patient might encounter. Lindora patients report that this type of support helps them stay focused and helps maximize their success.

Interested participants can simply call an 800 number to schedule a phone consultation and ask questions. During the consultation, the nurse will create an action plan to achieve the patient’s goal. All telephone and e-mail consultations are private, personalized and scheduled at the patient’s convenience.

At the end of every Lindora by Phone session, the nurse educator updates the patient’s file with detailed notes, so that the patient’s educator will be "up to speed" at the next session.

Lindora claims that their by-Phone consultations cost far less than medical professional sessions offered by less-effective programs.
