Best National Training Program in Europe 2022 according to The European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) and The European Coalition for People Living with Obesity (ECPO)

The HOLBAEK-model reduces the degree of obesity in more than 75% of patients and simultaneously reduces high blood pressure and cholesterols, fatty liver, sleep apnea, appetite and degree of bullying.

At the same time, it improves quality of life, mood and body image.

Independent of social class, disordered eating and a genetic risk score for obesity.

An average of 4.5 hours per patient per year of healthcare professional time is used.

The Holbæk model is a significant paradigm shift, especially in terms of motivation, small steps, and calorie restriction.

​

See more about the Holbæk model on this page.

It is not about motivation, but instead about a genetic vulnerability for most people which means that the body actively preserves the fat mass, and the healthcare professional must therefore offer the best possible treatment.

It is not about calorie restriction, especially not in children and young people through growth and development!

In adults, it is also extremely unfortunate, as it triggers subsequent overeating, which can only be experienced as a defeat for the patient.

The Holbæk model instead uses relative satiety with the principle of ad libitum intake.

Jens-Christian Holm established Dr Holm in 2014, which offers both education to healthcare professionals and treatment of obesity, which are supported by evidence-based digital solutions.

The education and digital service has just been awarded the prize as Best National Training Program in Europe in 2022.

The programs are available in Danish, English, Norwegian and Arabic.

Education

Learn to speak with patients, where you can both talk about what is difficult and at the same time reduce guilt, shame, and self-blame.

Education

"It makes so much sense, suddenly everything about obesity is much clearer. Finally, a method that is understandable and that is clear and distinct and will therefore be much easier to use compared to previous methods. Thank you".

The textbook "The Best for the Child – The fight against obesity" received 6 out of 6 stars by Health Political Journal.

​

Extract from the review:

​

"When 'For the Child's Sake' gets 6 stars, it is not only because it is a strong and courageous attempt to correct what he believes to be a widespread incorrect lack of understanding of the obese person's own responsibility towards the hormonal regulation of the fat mass using of the hormone Leptin. But also because Jens-Christian Holm has managed to write a book that is solidly medically documented - at the same time that it can also be used by the obese themselves, who are explained in an excellent pedagogical way why it is so difficult for them to get rid of the extra kilos again - as well as what they have to do so that they can still achieve a more permanent weight loss.”

​

Obesity Treatment Tool Pro

​"After using the Obesity Treatment Tool Pro for the last year in our clinic, many of the needs have been met. The individual treatment plans are today of a higher quality and are more standardized than before. We also see that employees who use Obesity Treatment Tool Pro often spend less time on consultations and need fewer consultations than before".

Dr Holm Klinikken

​

​“Jens-Christian Holm, as an adult I have frequented you and your team at the Dr Holm Clinic. I came for treatment and have now had a total weight loss of 55 kilos. This without the use of medications. For me, it has been the best help I have ever received in relation to my overweight. I am very grateful to have been able to consult a doctor who listened and understood my illness ​😀”

Dr Holm Clinic

"I would like to thank you for my 1st consultation with Jens-Christian. As you have no doubt heard about several times, it is so important for a person with overweight to FINALLY be assessed/seen in the right light - taken seriously. Apart from defining severe obesity as a chronic disorder, I especially took 2 other things home with me:

Jens-Christian, you take responsibility if I 'just' follow the plan.

With 2 other chronic conditions = challenges, it was also possible for me to draw up a realistic plan.… .”.

BBC World, perhaps the world's most respected media, has reported on the HOLBAEK-model several times and interviewed Dr Holm.
