The waitlist is open now to be first to gain access to this clinically validated, FDA registered device at a reasonable cost.  Simply go to Corhealth.com and join the waitlist now.

Following decades of obesity and associated metabolic health issues, Bob Messerschmidt regained a healthier weight and reclaimed his metabolic health – after he realized the core driver was microinflammation. He founded COR Health to enable everyone better understand their microinflammation, so that they, too, have the best opportunity to manage their health.

Bob is a Williams-Wright Award recipient for his contribution to industrial spectroscopy. Bob had two successful exits before he cold-emailed Steve Jobs about his third company. Steve immediately called him and soon after acquired the company. Bob then went on to work directly with Steve, and others for several years. Steve’s vision for consumer devices in the future of health heavily influenced Bob. 

Aside from COR Health, Bob is most proud of his contribution to Apple Watch.

Bob & I get into the following:

- His interesting background in health tech
- What is inflammation?
- We discuss the fact that inflammation is at the root of all illness
- How we can assess micro inflammation & use food as medicine to help with prevention
- Different markers of inflammation & what they mean
- Validity and meaning of hs-CRP, CRP, ESR and more
