About Stefan Weitz:
Stefan Weitz is on a mission to make Americans healthy again. His first step? Founding Jetson, a new company helping people lead a healthier life through high-quality, affordable, scientifically backed, and seasonally formulated probiotic products.

The journey that led Stefan to founding a health company began one morning in 2005, when he woke up with a numb leg—so numb in fact he was able to jam a fork into it without any pain. He hoped he was morphing into a superhero; instead, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Stefan was immediately subjected to a heavy regimen of drugs and pain pills. Knowing there had to be a better way to live, he conducted an exhaustive search to uncover the most effective ways to overcome the health challenges that faced him. Eventually, he was able to ditch some of his big-pharma products and wanted to share what he’d learned about the honest solutions and simple habits that can improve anyone’s health.
About Jetson Probiotics:
Jetson is a new probiotic company enabling Americans to lead a healthier life through honest, high-quality, affordable, and scientifically proven-to-be-effective probiotic products tailored to the human body’s specific needs each season of the year.
