ACCORDING TO THE State of Obesity: Better Policies for a Healthier America, Louisiana now has the fourth highest adult obesity rate in the nation. Louisiana’s adult obesity rate is currently 34.9%, up from 22.6% in 2000 and from 12.3% in 1990. As the obesity rate continues to climb in our state, and across the nation, the Aspen Clinic remains firm in its hope to inspire change and create a healthier life for our citizens.

After almost 30 years, the Aspen Clinic is continuing its mission to provide patients with the motivation and education they need to make simple lifestyle changes to lose weight with the goal to enhance their overall well-being and improve their quality of life. The main objective is to provide the best possible customer service and support system to clients in order to help them achieve their desirable goal weight.

When the Aspen Clinic was founded in 1988, it started with one clinic in Baton Rouge. It has grown to nine upscale clinics throughout south Louisiana. Now, with over 50 employees and clinics in Baton Rouge, Prairieville, Lafayette, Harvey, Slidell, Hammond, Metairie, Houma and Covington, the Aspen Clinic is well-equipped to help its patients lose weight—and ultimately change lifestyles.

Aspen Clinic is a local company, staffed by local people, who know and understand the lifestyle of Louisiana. “We live in an area that is centered on food and we must know where to set the limitations and how to make modifications relevant to our culture. At the Aspen Clinic, that is exactly what we do,” says owner Steve Dupuis. “Our goal is to help the people of Louisiana live a long and productive life and still enjoy ‘our way of life.’”

The Aspen Clinic is a family-owned business. Its owners, Steve and Laurie Dupuis, like to think of their business as a family that is made up of themselves, their wonderful employees, physicians at the nine locations of the Aspen Clinic and the countless number of clients that they have helped over the 29 years of business.

After growing up in the “Aspen Family,” Steve and Laurie’s oldest daughter, Barbie Dupuis, also developed a passion for nutrition, exercise, and using her knowledge to help others lose weight. After graduating from LSU, she went on to obtain certifications as a Weight Loss Specialist, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, and is currently the only certified Primal Expert in the state of Louisiana. Barbie now serves as corporate vice president and nutritional program developer, and she manages the Baton Rouge Location.

One of the biggest things that has kept the Aspen Clinic in business for so long is “The Aspen Program”—not the “Aspen Fad Diet”—that focuses on helping people develop a completely new set of eating and activity habits. Today’s world is full of fads, diets, cleanses and fixes, and yet the obesity epidemic continues to grow.

“The diet world gets more confusing every day—what people need to understand is that you didn’t gain the weight in 30 days, so it’s unlikely (and unhealthy) to think that it can be lost in 30 days,” says Barbie Dupuis. “Today’s society is so accustomed to ‘quick fixes,’ but health lasts a lifetime, so it requires a lifetime of commitment to making healthier choices.”

The Aspen Clinic is committed to providing a realistic, healthy nutritional program and a lifetime of support to its clients, to not only promote weight loss, but also to provide clients with a healthier and more active life.

The Aspen Clinic recently developed an Adolescent Weight Management program to help children who are struggling with weight issues. We strive to educate the entire family on good eating habits so everyone understands the importance of a healthier lifestyle. Summer is a great time to get your child some help and correct those bad habits.
