On this episode of The Health Detective Podcast, we're talking to Jake Kocherhans, who went from chronic bloating to gut health guru!
 
Jake is the founder of Atlas Functional Wellness, a virtual health clinic focusing on chronic bloating and other gut-related issues. Jake's journey into the health and wellness space escalated when his girlfriend, Callie, experienced severe health problems after moving to Austin, Texas. From brain fog and fatigue to severe anxiety and digestive issues, Callie's health significantly deteriorated, sparking Jake's interest in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN).
 
Through FDN, Jake and Callie discovered the root cause of her health problems was mold exposure in their home, along with high levels of Candida. This discovery led Jake to pursue FDN certification and run the necessary tests to diagnose and treat Callie's condition, which ultimately led to her recovery. The podcast also delves into Jake's transition from focusing on weight loss to specializing in gut health, driven by his personal experiences and a passion for helping others with similar issues. The discussion includes the impact of gut health on overall wellness, including weight management, and details about specific protocols used to address gut health issues like SIBO, candida, and mold exposure.Where to find Jake:

On this episode of The Health Detective podcast, we are having a conversation with Boris Berjan, a two-time chronic illness conqueror who turned his personal health struggles into an innovative mission. Frustrated by traditional healthcare's lack of real-time, data-driven approaches, Boris leveraged his expertise in building and scaling companies to create Theia Health.
Theia Health aims to revolutionize healthcare by providing individuals and practitioners with accurate, real-time insights into the impact of actions on health through the use of biosensors, like Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs). Boris discusses the importance of understanding one's baseline health through data before attempting any health optimization strategies. The conversation also touches on the power of personal development in overcoming chronic health issues and how Thea Health facilitates a deeper understanding of the body's responses to various stimuli, ultimately empowering individuals and health practitioners with actionable health data.
