Several years ago, Ironman finishers and coaches Matt and Jesse Naquin found themselves in a unique situation. The certified nurse practitioner and certified registered nurse anesthetist worked out regularly and intentionally ate to fuel their activities, but were still putting on inexplicable weight. “I went to various doctors, but no one could pinpoint anything,” says Jesse. “No one could figure this out beyond ‘this happens after you turn 40.’”
Meanwhile, Matt had battled his own weight issues since childhood that remained even after he became intensely active. The Naquins’ medical training told them there was likely more to their health stories, so they began deep-diving into gut health and more preventative modalities. A national company that did lab work without insurance approval helped Matt and Jesse learn that combined, they dealt with lifestyle-induced insulin resistance, vitamin deficiencies and low testosterone.
“Few physicians would have had time to persist to get these tests and no insurance company would have approved due to our ages and how ‘healthy’ we both were,” recalls Jesse. “But results showed that our lean diets weren’t fueling our bodies’ unique needs. All our efforts had been giving us backward results.”
This journey inspired the Naquins to open Untamed Health, innovative healthcare that embraces a patient-centric approach. Using their combined healthcare experience, Matt, Jesse and the Untamed Health team work to treat all patients individually, without restraints of what Matt refers to as “the Bermuda Triangle of healthcare” – with big medical boards, big pharma and insurance companies at each point of the triangle, and the patient treading water in the middle with no idea why they’re seeing certain doctors and even taking the medications they’re being prescribed.
