Jacobus Hollewijn was born in The Netherlands. He moved to the United States in 1985 with his wife and small family. He has always been interested in food, either professionally as a chef for many years, or because of personal interest. In 1994, he moved his family to Bozeman, Montana, where he became involved in health food retail business, by becoming General Manager at one of the larger local health food stores. He also helped two other area natural foods stores as organizer and educator of their vitamins and supplement department.
On April 6, 2007 Jacobus and his wife Marielle, opened their own store, called “Gesundheit! With Jacobus Nutrition Center”, named after his show with the same name. “Gesundheit” is a German word meaning “health” or “good health”. This 2,100sq.ft. shop only offers high-quality dietary supplements. With an emphasis is on education and service by a knowledgeable staff, and on networking within the health community.
His radio career started in 1996 with weekly advertisements on several local radio stations. And on July 9th, 2000 -2019, he produced a weekly live radio show, called “Gesundheit!…With Jacobus”. Jacobus’ meticulous preparation for each program made him very comfortable during any interview and gained him the respect and trust of his many faithful listeners. In 2009 the show was ranked #1 on Sunday morning.
Starting in August of 2000 he was able to display another talent: he was hired as the first varsity coach of a local area high school girls’ soccer team, the Belgrade Panthers. In his sixth, and final, year at the helm (in 2005), they won their first State Championship.
After watching several of his family members die of heart disease, his passion turned to helping people prevent such health issues. His mission in life is to entertain and educate people with information about health, healing and healthy lifestyles
