My Story

Welcome to Naked Flavors — where food gets personal and health feels good!

Hey there! I’m so happy you made it here.

I’m Jen — Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and proud author of Healthy Gut, Happy You.

But if we were meeting over a cup of tea (or a spoonful of almond butter), I’d also tell you…

A few fun facts about me:

  • I have an accent.

  • Born and raised in Lima, Peru.

  • Butter is basically a love language.

  • Salsa dancing is my cardio and my therapy.

  • I’m a wanderluster at heart.

  • I can turn almost anything into a nourishing, delicious recipe.

  • Helping women glow from the inside out is my mission.

  • Nature is my recharge button.

  • I’m always up for spontaneous adventures.

So, how did I get here?

Back in 2010, I felt like my body had completely turned against me. Tired, bloated, covered in breakouts, and emotionally drained — I didn’t even recognize the woman in the mirror.

Doctors, pills, fad diets, hormone, creams, you name it — I tried it all. I felt defeated, broke (literally and emotionally), and exhausted from chasing a version of wellness that just wasn’t working.

Then came the turning point…

I decided to stop chasing quick fixes and start listening to my body. I dove into nutrition books, learned from mentors, and gave my fridge a serious makeover. Out went the sugar, processed junk, and carb roller coasters. In came nourishing fats, healing foods, bone broth, and fermented goodness.

And guess what? It worked.

My skin cleared. My digestion got back on track. My energy returned — no more sugar crashes, coffee dependence, or mood swings. I felt like me again. Actually… I felt like a new, upgraded version of me.

That transformation lit a fire in me…

I knew I had to help other women reconnect with their bodies, feel empowered, and fall in love with real food again. So I:

  • Became a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner so I could support women navigating symptoms I once battled.
  • Wrote Healthy Gut, Happy You, a cookbook-meets-health-guide packed with no-fuss nutrition tips and delicious, gut-loving recipes.

  • Launched this website as a hub for all things delicious and nourishing — from recipes and health tips to real-talk wellness advice.


I created Naked Flavors for women like you — the ones juggling a million things, yet still wanting to feel vibrant, confident, and energized without the overwhelm.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I’m genuinely excited you’re here. Let’s do this health thing in a way that feels joyful, sustainable, and unapologetically YOU.

With love and vibrant energy,
Jeniffer Alburquerque 💛

Let’s stay in touch!
