Fishing Lessons for Your Health

By Lee Aase • July 16, 2024

Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day.

Teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime.
Lao Tzu, Chinese Philosopher

Our philosophy at HELPcare Clinic is a lot like this Chinese proverb. We recognize that in most cases medications don't make people healthy: they may relieve symptoms or prevent some of the harmful effects of disease, but they don't address the underlying causes.

So instead I say...

Give a man a pill and you'll relieve his symptoms for a day.

Teach a man to take charge of his health, and you'll improve his health for a lifetime.
Lee Aase, Founder, HELPcare LLC

Not a pithy as Lao Tzu, but no less true. And it applies to men, women and children.

Our passion at HELPcare is helping people take charge of their health. That's why we offer FREE online resources including HELP: the Health, Energy & Longevity Plan and our HELPcare Coach eLearning course. You just need to create your free account.

If you need a little more help with lifestyle changes, we offer metabolic health coaching as a premium service, as well as HELPcare Challenge, our 13-week program guaranteed to help you improve your health.

And if you want a primary care experience with medical practitioners who share that same philosophy and will take time to get to know you and will guide you in reaching your health goals, HELPcare Clinic membership is for you!

HELPcare Premier membership includes primary care visits and more than 100 diagnostic lab tests as needed at no extra charge, along with free health coaching and $300 savings on HELPcare Challenge.

For those with fewer needs we have HELPcare Standard and HELPcare Quick options.

If you'd like help in sorting out which membership plan best fits your health needs and budget, call our Membership line at 507-418-8465 or send us an email.

I LOVE your saying, Lee! "Give a man a pill and you'll relieve his symptoms for a day.
Teach a man to take charge of his health, and you'll improve his health for a lifetime."

Making lifestyle changes is the ticket! I feel blessed to be HELPcare's health coach. My passion is helping people make lifestyle changes so that they can "improve their health for a lifetime". Jane
