info_outline “If you give nature—within your own body—the right preconditions, it finds a way to thrive.”
— Jordan Perry
In this episode, KO sits down with Jordan Perry, founder of Repose Health, a groundbreaking, integrative therapy designed to heal the gut at the root cause — not just manage symptoms. From navigating seven years of chronic illness to building a science-backed system that has helped people with IBS, Crohn’s, eczema, chronic fatigue, food sensitivities, UTIs, and more, Jordan shares the full origin story behind his innovative approach.
We dive into:
- The real role of the gut microbiome in immune health, mental clarity & inflammation
- Why gut issues often show up only after deeper dysfunction has already begun
- How the Repose system combines prebiotics, probiotics, spore-based biotics, gut-lining repair, suppository therapy, hydration, self-massage, and breathwork to create whole-system healing
- Why suppository-based therapy is common internationally — and why the U.S. is late to the conversation
- How breathwork and somatic regulation support digestive healing and nervous-system balance
- Why your gut may actually be your first brain — not your second
- What the future of personalized gut health, microbiome testing & metabolite-driven solutions looks like
Jordan is currently piloting clinical programs and connecting directly with people searching for answers after years of feeling dismissed by traditional healthcare. His mission is simple: help people get their lives back.
If you’ve struggled with chronic digestive issues, fatigue, food sensitivities, or unexplained inflammation — or you’re just curious about the next frontier of wellness — this conversation is a must-listen.

Jordan Dozzi- Perry:
Jordan is the founder of Repose Health, a novel integrative digestive health therapy born of his own personal health journey. His self-directed research revealed to him how the gut microbiome and one's inflammation status both play critical roles in immune health and general resilience, inspiring his innovative therapeutic program that addresses root cause. With training in both science and fine art, he blends academic rigor with storytelling from his work in documentary film. When he’s not building gut-health solutions or making inspiring media, you’ll find him gardening, surfing, or exploring mountains by foot or splitboard.
