The Dual Meaning of HELP in HELPcare

As Dr. David Strobel and I developed the concepts of HELPcare and HELPcare Clinic, our vision was to provide educational resources, coaching and peer support that would HELP people take charge of their own health.

We know that lifestyle factors are by far most important in determining health.

Genetic factors play some role in predisposition to disease and medications can manage symptoms. But for the vast majority of people nothing comes close to the impact of what you eat, when you eat it, getting proper sleep and physical activity and paying attention to mental, emotional, social and spiritual dimensions of health.

That's why we developed HELP: The Health, Energy & Longevity Plan. It's an educational resource that distills what I've learned through my health journey (and from my Health Sherpas) along with Dr. Dave's expert perspective from 30 years as a family medicine physician.

That's the first meaning of HELP in HELPcare. You can request your free copy of HELP, along with our regular blog content, to achieve your health goals without needing any of our premium services.

We also know that information alone often isn't enough. People who are trying to make lifestyle changes are swimming against the current. The food environment that has tripled rates of obesity and diabetes in the last generation isn't going away.

Many people will need assistance to make the changes stick. That's the second meaning of HELP.

That's why we have HELPcare Community to provide more in-depth education from Dr. Dave, as well as peer support from others who are making similar changes.

HELPcare Coach is the next level of HELP, and it includes individual and small group coaching from someone who's been down the road ahead of you. We use various means for communication, from phone calls and texts to face-to-face and Zoom meetings. HELPcare Coach also includes full HELPcare Community access. Get a HELPcare coach.

These HELPcare services are available to anyone, anywhere.

HELPcare Clinic provides unlimited, unhurried primary care through an affordable membership, as well as all of the HELPcare services at no extra charge.

It's most of the care most people need for most of their lives, and the membership is probably much less than your insurance deductible.
