In this episode of The Eye-Q Podcast, I talk with Dr. Daniel Chille about how gut health, inflammation, mitochondrial function, and genetics influence eye disease. We explore the gut–eye axis, leaky gut, oxidative stress, and why stool testing and nutrigenomics can reveal hidden triggers behind chronic symptoms. If you’ve struggled with dry eyes, autoimmune issues, or unexplained vision changes, this conversation shows how healing the gut may help protect your sight.

Dr. Daniel Chille is a distinguished healthcare professional specializing in Integrative and Functional Medicine, with a mission to reverse chronic disease and optimize human health through a root-cause approach. He is the founder of TBD Fitness, a holistic wellness clinic based in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, serving patients both locally and across the country.

Dr. Chille began his academic career at Northwestern University, where he earned his degree while also playing NCAA Division I soccer. After college, he pursued a professional soccer career in Europe—an experience that shaped his holistic perspective on performance, recovery, and whole-body health.

Through TBD Fitness and his broader clinical practice, Dr. Chille leads a team of wellness professionals who integrate functional medicine, nutrigenomics, cellular and microbial medicine, and advanced lab diagnostics to deliver highly personalized care. Diagnostic services include in-depth testing such as blood, hormone, genetic, gut microbiome, micronutrient, and neurolymphatic assessments.
