Born from need, Driven by understanding
Founded by someone who's been there, we help people build awareness, confidence and clarity to gain control over their digestive care journey.
Carlos's gut health journey was debilitating. Despite IBS and GERD diagnoses and countless doctor visits, he struggled to manage symptoms and make lasting lifestyle changes. It wasn't until graduate studies exposed him to behavioral health science and health intervention design that he began understanding the profound connection between self-efficacy and digestive health.
In a health informatics class at the University of Michigan, Carlos realized that effective gut health management isn't just about tracking symptoms and following treatment plans—it's about having reliable, personalized guidance when it matters most. Drawing from his lived-experience and product design expertise, he created GastroKnowMi to provide others the informed support he wished he had earlier in his gut health journey.
