HELPcare Clinic: NOT a Weight Loss Clinic

By Lee Aase • September 8, 2022

Because we often talk about metabolic health in our public communications, we've occasionally received questions online from people wondering whether HELPcare Clinic is just a weight loss clinic.

It's not.

HELPcare Clinic is a primary care clinic that provides unhurried, consistent care for the whole person through an affordable monthly or annual membership.

This unhurried visit (usually an hour long) enables HELPcare Clinic providers to take time to listen and help the patients address the issues that are of most concern to the patient.

And because more than 60 of the most common diagnostic blood tests are included as needed in membership at no extra charge, providers can use the information from these tests to better understand what's going on inside the patient.

This also helps them identify underlying causes of various diseases and conditions the patient may be experiencing, which often are related to metabolic health.

Almost nine of 10 Americans have at least one of the five elements of metabolic syndrome:

  • High blood sugar
  • High blood pressure
  • High triglycerides
  • Low HDL cholesterol
  • Abdominal obesity

While HELPcare Clinic providers prescribe medications that help address symptoms, Dr. Dave Strobel believes lifestyle changes can have a much greater effect if the patient is interested and motivated.

That's why HELPcare Clinic also offers HELPcare Coach services at no extra charge for members. We help people with lifestyle changes based on HELP: The Health, Energy & Longevity Plan.

It's not just information about what changes would be helpful, but also support in making those changes and guidance in avoiding common pitfalls and overcoming obstacles.

Through these changes patients deal with the underlying causes of disease, and this frequently leads to a broad range of health improvements.

So while HELPcare Clinic is NOT a weight loss clinic, weight loss is generally a welcome side effect when patients take advantage of the full range of membership benefits.

For patients who aren't interested in the lifestyle change support, HELPcare Clinic providers continue to provide excellent, unhurried, consistent primary care.

The patient is the customer, and our goal is to help the patient meet his or her health goals.
