If you're one of them, you may be on the path toward Metabolic Syndrome and at higher risk for the most costly, deadly and feared diseases in our society today.
People with Metabolic Syndrome...
What is Metabolic Syndrome?
Metabolism refers to how your body converts food into the energy and building materials it needs to survive and thrive. Metabolic Syndrome is diagnosed when you have three or more of the following:
1
HIGH BLOOD SUGAR
Fasting blood glucose >100mg/dl
2
HIGH TRIGLYCERIDES
> 150mg/dl or on medication
3
LOW HDL CHOLESTEROL
<40mg/dl for men or <50mg/dl for women
4
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
>130mmHg systolic or >85 mmHg diastolic
5
OBESITY
(BELLY FAT)
Waist >40 inches for men or >35 inches for women
There’s no pill to reverse Metabolic Syndrome.
Medications mainly manage some of the symptoms, but they don't deal with underlying causes. You can reverse Metabolic Syndrome through lifestyle changes, which is much more powerful than medications.
We've done it ourselves. We've helped others. We can help you.
Kevin’s experience in reclaiming his health
“We were having all kinds of joint pain, poor sleep and just mental ‘fuzz.’ We saw that Lee and Lisa were getting great - and lasting - results from their lifestyle changes, so we wanted to talk with them.
Their information on benefits of drastically reducing carbs and sugar, with the option of intermittent fasting, was compelling. This is not a downgrade in food. It's different food, but it's very tasty. That removed my biggest barrier.
What I had been taught and believed in was upside-down as far as health goes.
I've lost 40 pounds, but more significantly my joint pain has drastically improved. My sleeping is solid and I don't snore anymore. I'm enjoying food and I'm not hungry.
I don't see myself stopping this because I'm just feeling so much better health-wise.”

With a little HELP: The Health, Energy & Longevity Plan, you can:
Reverse Metabolic Syndrome risk factors most likely to diminish your health and shorten your lifespan.
The elements of HELP work together to support metabolic health. If you're currently taking medications to manage blood sugar, cholesterol or high blood pressure, you may be able to work with your provider to reduce doses or even eliminate them altogether. These lifestyle changes also can improve triglyceride levels, which medications don't.
Attack insulin resistance, mainly through what you eat and when you eat it.
Metabolic Syndrome is also called Insulin Resistance Syndrome. Insulin Resistance happens when your blood sugar levels, and therefore your insulin levels, are too high for too much of the day. That causes the insulin to be less effective, which means your pancreas needs to make even more. It's a vicious cycle. With HELP you'll have extended periods of lower insulin so your body can begin to heal.
Feel fully satisfied through real, delicious food.
If you're constantly feeling hungry and deprived and are depending on will power for your success, that's a recipe for failure. With HELP, there's no calorie counting. You will need to make choices and eat differently, mainly by limiting carbohydrates. But you eat until you feel full, so you're able to stay with the plan.
It’s not just about weight loss!
Most people are interested in losing weight, and abdominal obesity (belly fat) is one of the elements of Metabolic Syndrome. But through HELP you'll be addressing the root causes, and you'll start improving metabolic health well before you see significant weight loss.
Losing weight is a welcome side effect.

Lee Aase, M.B.A.
Lee worked for 21 years at Mayo Clinic, launching and leading Mayo’s presence in social media. He and his wife Lisa have each lost and maintained weight loss of 50 lbs. since 2016 by restoring their metabolic health through a low-carbohydrate lifestyle with intermittent fasting. To help others make similar changes, he retired from Mayo Clinic in August 2021 to found HELPcare LLC and to help Dr. Strobel open HELPcare Clinic.
