Welcome to Gesundheit!...With Jacobus

Who Is Jacobus Hollewijn

Jacobus Hollewijn was born in The Netherlands. He moved to the United States in 1985 with his wife and small family. There has always been an interest in food, either professionally as a chef for many years, or because of personal interest. Experimenting with a variety of diets, including Vegetarianism, Macrobiotics, Raw Foods, Blood-Type and good-ol’ American Cuisine, he has a basic knowledge of different eating styles, and has helped, advised and supported people with his culinary background.

In 1994, living in Bozeman, Montana, he got involved in health foods retail, by becoming General Manager at Montana Harvest Natural Foods. He also helped two other natural foods stores as organizer and educator of their vitamins and supplement department. Since late 2002 he is back at Montana Harvest.

In 1996 he started weekly advertisements on several local radio stations. These ads are called Health Pearls, little pearls of wisdom about health, without mentioning a product, price or company. They are all about education and entertainment. Originally written in a 30 seconds format they are know a full minute, changing every week.

Jacobus has also contributed to a local bi-weekly news-paper, called the BoZone. These half-page articles about health, healing and healthy lifestyles are more in-depth about certain important issues that affect us all.

Since July 9th, 2000, he started a weekly two-hour live radio show, called “Gesundheit!…With Jacobus”, every Sunday morning from 7-9am. “Gesundheit” is a German word meaning “health” or “good health”. The program consists of interviews with experts, professionals and doctors in both western/allopathic medicine as well as those specializing in all-natural/alternative modalities. The program is well received, because of its entertainment value but primarily because of the thorough approach into many of the pressing health-issues of today.

Since January the show is three hours. “Gesundheit!…With Jacobus” is very well received both by the listeners as well as the experts, who participate in the interview. Jacobus’ intense and meticulous preparation for each program have made him very comfortable during any interview, and have gained him the respect and trust from his many faithful listeners.

Jacobus Hollewijn is happily married and has three great children, each wonderful in their own right.
