The LSC Natural First Protocol
A structured approach to improving health markers before pharmaceutical intervention.
Step 1 – Nutrition Foundation 🍽️
This is always the first intervention because diet drives most metabolic markers.
Core principles:
1️⃣ Whole-food diet
- lean protein
- vegetables
- fruit
- nuts and seeds
- healthy fats
- minimally processed foods
2️⃣ Reduce drivers of inflammationLower intake of:
- refined sugar
- ultra-processed foods
- trans fats
- excessive alcohol
3️⃣ Increase fibreTarget:
Benefits:
- lowers cholesterol
- improves blood sugar
- supports gut health
Best sources:
- oats
- beans and lentils
- vegetables
- chia and flax seeds
Step 2 – Body Composition ⚖️
Even modest fat loss dramatically improves health markers.
Target:
5–10% body weight reduction
Potential improvements:
Marker Expected change LDL cholesterol↓
Blood pressure↓
Insulin resistance↓
inflammation↓
For many clients this alone can reverse early metabolic issues.
Step 3 – Movement & Training 🏋️
Exercise improves nearly every metabolic marker.
Recommended minimum:
Resistance training:2–4 sessions weekly
Cardio:150 minutes weekly
Benefits include:
- improved insulin sensitivity
- reduced visceral fat
- improved lipid profile
- improved cardiovascular health
Step 4 – Sleep & Stress 😴
Poor sleep disrupts metabolic hormones.
Targets:
7–9 hours sleep
Improve by:
- consistent sleep schedule
- reduced evening screen exposure
- managing caffeine intake
Chronic stress raises:
- cortisol
- blood sugar
- blood pressure
Step 5 – Evidence-Based Supplement Support 💊
Supplements are used strategically based on biomarkers.
For cholesterol support
- Policosanol
- Soluble fibre (psyllium)
- omega-3 (LSC Krill Oil)
- aged garlic / black garlic
For blood sugar support
- Cinnamon
- Alpha lipoic acid
- Magnesium
- Chromium
For inflammation
- Omega-3
- LSC Turmeric
- LSC Vitamin D3 + K2
For cardiovascular support
- CoQ10 100mg
- garlic extract
- LSC Magnesium (MAG3)
Step 6 – Testing & Monitoring 🧪
Re-evaluate markers after 8–12 weeks.
Track:
- lipid panel
- fasting glucose / HbA1c
- blood pressure
- body composition
- inflammatory markers
Many clients will see meaningful improvements.
Step 7 – Escalation if Needed
If markers remain high after lifestyle intervention:
- consider medical evaluation
- supplements can support medication if required
The philosophy:
Lifestyle first. Supplements second. Medication when necessary.
