About Our Founder
The Story Behind the Business
Jennifer Barefoot is the founder of Body By Barefoot MD. When a family member was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 24, Jennifer got tested and found out that she was a gene carrier. She began studying natural remedies, bio-identical hormone replacement therapies, and extensive training in integrative cancer treatment. After she went through menopause herself, she realized there must be a simple yet more natural approach to aging.
