Welcome to TLC-WellbeingSciences.com
The Center for TLC-International’s Specialist Diagnostic Teams’ ongoing scientific research relating to all aspects of our world-leading TLC-Programs.
|

Background:
TLC-International, founded over 23 years ago in 1987 in New York (USA) is a Global Wellbeing and Health Business, operating in over 150 countries, and providing Nutritional and Lifestyle-Based regimes, called TLC-Programs.
These TLC-Programs are scientifically proven to reduce and/or, resolve over 350 conditions and ailments. Major Benefits include: Rapid, safe and effective resolution of Obesity/Overweight-conditions and a significant reduction of risk relating to Lifestyle-based Dread Diseases such as CVD-Cardio Vascular Disease and Cancer.
More specifically, our empirical research over 10 years (1998-2008) involving a study sample of 10 000 Patients indicates:
15-17kg (average) Weight-loss (Male/Female).
69-83% chance of losing (if required) more than 10kg (Male/Female).
8-16kg (average) Weight-loss per month (4 weeks).
5-12 weeks on their TLC-Program (depending on: profile/age/sex/total weight-loss required).
93.1% chance of BMI reduction (average of more than 2.00 units improvement).
72.9% chance of Cholesterol Reduction-Improvement (improvement by above 0.50mmol/l).

The Scientific Paradigm/Basis:
A Specific, Precise, Personalized and Balanced Nutritional Regime (but, low-carbohydrate) alters and optimizes key hormonal balances within the Endocrine System to “trigger” appropriate Metabolic, Immune and Rejuvenation Processes within the Human Body. That is: A Food Intake Regime, when evaluated at a molecular, nutrient and nutrogenomic level and “prescribed” within specific food quantities, types and combinations within the context of:
1) A specific individual’s diagnostic profile, and
2) Combined with holistic and balanced lifestyle regime,
...is proven to significantly and positively impact human wellbeing and health.
The “mantra” is: “For optimized Wellbeing....Food becomes your best Medicine!”
|
Research and Medical Processes:
Most research is primarily based on empirical scientific data (qualitative and quantitative) obtained from the collation of Patient Diagnostics which includes: Blood test Pathology from a prescribed blood test battery (Liver Function, U&E, Fasting Glucose, Cholesterol, Creatinine etc.), Biometrics, Clinical/Medical Histopathology, Familial History, Lifestyle Profiling, Nutritional Assessments and a unique Diagnostic Assessment Data System.
Unique Systems and Software processes utilize what TLC terms "AI-Active Intelligence" which ensures constant (24/7) updates (from all networks and processes) of all databases, scripts, formulae, algorithms and references.
Specific TLC-Research Teams and SP-Specialist Panel Members are appointed to: Conduct applicable research, Assess Individual Patient Diagnostics (up to 3500 factors per Patient), Ensure Patient Safety (optimum Risk Management) and Administer Specific Treatment Scripts via the unique "TLC--DADS" System.
In addition, leading international research relating to Endocrinology, Bio-genetics, Nutrogenomics, Nutritional Science, Pathology, Diagnostics, Lifestyle Sciences and Psychology is applied and integrated into all processes.

Present Research Projects:
TLC-International, since 1987, has been committed to ongoing scientific research and innovation with its TLC-Programs, Products, Systems, Procedures, Regimes and Services.
It is active (on average) with over 30 specific research projects (and specifically appointed international research teams/institutions) at any given time. Amongst others, these include:
Pegasus 2: Further empirical research (qualitative and quantitative) studies of the previous study (10 000 Patients…10 years) concerning the benefits of TLC-Programs relating (amongst others) to: Sleep Quality, Cognitive Functioning, Rejuvenation, Anti-aging, IBS, PCOS and Health-Predictive Assessments (major and minor illnesses).
Nutrogenomics: Ongoing research relating to molecular-level investigations into the nutritional properties, structures and benefits of foods with specific reference to impact on genetic profiles (disease risk reduction).
Water and Intake: Investigations relating the Medicinal Properties of Water, Intake Regimes and Quality (beyond classic detoxification, mineral content and dietary benefits).
New Diagnostics: Ongoing assessment and procurement of new diagnostic methodology, techniques and tools.
Lifestyle Normalization: Final research and application of a new “TL©-Program™”
Cognitive Functioning: Further research concerning the Neurological Benefits and Effects of TLC-Programs.
“Dr-oogle” Phase 3: Ongoing advancements and upgrades to unique TLC-Program-related Search Engine, Client care and TLC-Training Systems.
“Smart Foods:” Ongoing evaluation and application of food types that have a significant impact on specific conditions and ailments.
Rejuvenation and Anti-aging: Ongoing applied research and application of phyto-nutrients and specific food intake regimes to effect rejuvenation/anti-aging.
Blood Triglycerides: Applied research and diagnostics relating to specific food intake and a predisposition to Obesity.
“TLC-DADS:” Ongoing upgrades to TLC-Diagnostics and Admin Data System databanks, algorithms, hardware and content.
