In 2007, Jens-Christian Holm established The Childrens’ Obesity Clinic, a multidisciplinary childhood obesity chronic-care treatment facility and The Holbaek-model. The Holbaek-model is unique, and offers families a paradigmatic shift in approach by understanding child obesity as a chronic disease with a person-centered, holistic and family based approach. We understand that the fat mass is endocrinologically regulated and offer a unique and successful treatment protocol.

The innovative pedagogy and communication provided by the Holbaek-model provides empathy, self-identification and authenticity. This treatment approach reduce the degree of obesity in approximately 75% of patients enrolled.
