Dr. David StrobelM.D.

Dr. Strobel focuses on metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease risk, osteoporosis, gut health disorders, thyroid disorders, celiac disease, and autoimmune conditions. His clinical approach emphasizes identifying and addressing underlying causes rather than managing symptoms alone.

Dr. Strobel schedules standard appointments for one hour. That time allows him to thoroughly understand each patient's health history and concerns without the time pressure of a conventional 15-minute visit.

Dr. Strobel integrates low-carb and ketogenic eating, time-restricted eating, and intermittent fasting into his clinical recommendations. He co-authored HELP: The Health, Energy and Longevity Plan, which outlines the lifestyle framework he uses with patients. He views metabolic health as central to preventing and reversing chronic disease.

Dr. Strobel has more than 30 years of experience as a family physician. Before joining HELPcare Clinic full-time in 2023, he practiced at the Pipe Trades Family Health and Wellness Center in Eagan, Minnesota, serving union members.

Yes. Dr. Strobel is the founding physician and Medical Director of HELPcare Clinic Austin, which opened in February 2022. He and Lee Aase conceived the clinic together in October 2019, drawing on Dr. Strobel's experience with a membership-based clinic model he had encountered through his earlier practice.

Dr. Strobel produces the Dr. Dave Explains video series, covering topics such as osteoporosis, gut health, and metabolic syndrome. These videos give members accessible explanations of common health conditions and what patients can do to address them.

Dr. Strobel believes that real primary care cannot happen in 15-minute visits. He schedules hour-long appointments so patients receive thorough, unhurried attention. His approach focuses on understanding each person's full health picture rather than addressing isolated complaints.
