Prevent it! Reverse it! An Introduction to Special Classes
Is it possible to prevent most diseases? We have been told that much of what happens to us health-wise is inherited and we can’t often prevent disease. The premise of most of our page is to help you understand that you can prevent most diseases! Even if your dad had a heart attack and your mom had a stroke or got dementia, does that mean you will have the same issues? Our goal is to help you understand many ways you can stop from becoming a diabetic, even if everyone in your family has diabetes. We are here to teach you all that we can to prevent many diseases from happening to you. We cannot promise that we can keep everyone healthy and that disease will never occur, but there are many issues that many of us have that can be prevented and reversed.
Because much of the information I give in my classes is medical advice, I cannot post everything here on this page. In order to benefit from what I teach, you need a professional doctor-patient relationship with me. I put as much on AgroshareMD as I can that is beneficial to your general health, but not specific medical advice. I want to let people know what we are doing in our classes so that if you want to take part, you can let us know.
Our monthly education classes will begin again in the fall. You can find out more about the classes by contacting our clinic or learn about DPC Membership for $60 per month. By becoming a member of Valley Care DPC, you will be able to make appointments with Dr. Koe as often as you would like each month. Our educational classes are included with your monthly membership. You also have the choice to keep your current PCP (Primary Care Physician), or for us to become your primary provider. You can visit our DPC page to get even more information and learn more about the benefits of direct primary care.
The classes will cover many topics. Each class will focus on several topics centered on one theme. We will have food and drinks in each class to let you taste healthier versions of items you might be used to. Also, we will have door prizes and activities in each class to make classes more interesting and fun! I will limit our classes in size, but for now, there is plenty of space. We will expand to an evening class in the fall as well.
Once a class is finished, there will be a video of the class that will go into an online library. You will have a password to access the library so that you can view the class again at your convenience. We will break the videos into short 15 minutes segments (approximately 4-5 segments per class) so that you don’t have to see it all again and can just go to a topic you want to understand more. We will label all topics clearly so that you can find the information quickly and easily.
