About Me

Hi! I'm Jennifer Merin Babich, a functional nutritionist specializing in gut health. My mission is to heal your gut and, in turn, improve both your mental and physical well-being. 

Years ago, after a "camping trip gone wrong," I had to take a heavy (heavy!) dose of antibiotics that wrecked my gut. What I didn't realize, was the deteriorating mental health, skin rashes, and swollen/aching joints that followed were also caused by the antibiotics. 

I spent two years visiting doctors and specialists. No one could figure out what the skin rash was. No one knew why my right wrist was swollen and painful. Some doctors thought I was crazy and needed to let it go. Meanwhile, my mental health started to decline and I didn't want to get out of bed. Everyone just wanted to pump me full of meds, order x-rays, and lather me up with creams--none of which were going to solve the underlying issue. 

I finally connected the dots. It was my gut. I sprung into action and started a gut healing protocol. Within TWO WEEKS, my rash went away and my joint pain subsided. My brain fog improved and I was less depressed. Two weeks. This was after spending two years bouncing between doctors and specialists who couldn't help. 

If any part of my story resonates with you, I'm here to help. With a Master's in Human Nutrition & Functional Medicine, I have a deep understanding of gut health and its profound impact on overall wellness. 

Let's heal your gut and watch your brain and body make their comeback.
