Our Approach

Although weight management is most often our motivation for joining a First Place 4 Health group, the focus is not just on the body-or on the number on the scale. That’s a crucial difference between First Place 4 Health and other weight-loss programs. By applying disciplines that affect the whole person—the body, the mind, the heart and the spirit—you will not only experience physical health but will also experience total health—health for life!

Why Choose First Place 4 Health
A wide variety of people become members of First Place 4 Health, from those who struggle with losing 5 to 10 pounds to those who battle obesity or are tired of yo-yo dieting. Some may join to increase their knowledge about nutrition, to get help with implementing a consistent exercise plan, or to learn how to develop a healthy lifestyle for their family. Whatever their reasons, they soon discover that First Place 4 Health is a biblically based, medically trustworthy wellness program that addresses the whole person—physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
