  • Inflammation is the Key (ft. Bob Messerschmidt)

    Following decades of obesity and associated metabolic ill health, Bob regained a healthier weight and his metabolic health – after he realized the core driver was microinflammation. He founded COR Health to enable everyone to see and 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, such as Jony Ive, for several years. Steve's vision for consumer devices in the future of health heavily influenced Bob. For more information, check out https://corhealth.com
