HELP

HELP: The Health, Energy & Longevity Plan briefly encapsulates lifestyle elements which will help most people improve their health and sense of well-being. It’s particularly helpful in the context of the Standard American Diet (SAD) which has led to 88% of Americans meeting at least one criterion of metabolic ill health.

What HELP is:

A way of eating and living that is consistent with how humans have thrived for thousands of years. Much of the official dietary guidance of the last 50 years has been counterproductive, contributing to the epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes along with many other diseases.
A distillation of knowledge from a community of physicians, scientists, journalists, and patients, gleaned from the scientific literature and from expert opinion as found in the helpful books included in the bibliography, as well as from Dr. Strobel’s decades of clinical practice.
A cheat sheet that highlights the lifestyle changes and behaviors most likely to contribute to your health and vitality. We provide a one-page handy reference resource, with extended discussion in the following pages. For more in-depth learning, read the books in the bibliography or free educational blog posts at HELPcare.health.

What HELP is not:

A novel and proprietary set of insights on health and medical issues. Like-minded physicians, scientists and patient activists are implementing similar strategies all over the world and have formed an online movement. We have simply pulled together research and expert opinion insights from that community into a workable and sustainable plan.
A medical prescription. This document and associated online resources are for educational purposes only and your use of them does not create a doctor-patient relationship. You should discuss diet and lifestyle changes you want to make with your doctor, particularly if you are taking prescription medications that might need adjustments.
A lifetime commitment. You may wish to try implementing these changes for four to six weeks and see how you feel. It may well provide relief from many of the chronic conditions you’ve experienced, providing motivation for longer-term change.
A set of dietary and lifestyle rules to which you must rigidly adhere. You likely will feel better the more closely you follow HELP, but the elements are only guides. These are not 10 Commandments for good health. Sometimes you will decide to “step off the wagon.” You can eat that birthday cake and enjoy holiday dinners and special events. Through HELP you can restore your metabolic flexibility and reduce the harm from these occasional excursions.

A Note from the Authors:

We hope you will use HELP as part of your journey to improve your life, and we will be delighted if you get results without accessing any of our premium services. If you need more support, we offer that as well through HELPcare Clinic and the HELPcare Challenge.

For your Health, Energy & Longevity,

Lee Aase and David W. Strobel, M.D.
