Originally from Argentina, Marina Pen has been living in New York for the past 10 years. She is married and a proud mom of two boys, aged 6 and 3. With a professional background in marketing and advertising, Marina has over 20 years of experience crafting creative strategies for Fortune 500 companies.

Five years ago, Marina started experiencing night sweats, anxiety, and mood swings. Initially, she attributed these symptoms to stress and fatigue, thinking she wasn’t managing her life well. After extensive research, she discovered that she was going through perimenopause—a revelation that came as a shock. Unaware that perimenopause even existed, Marina felt blindsided and alone, having received no prior warning.

From these struggles, along with those of her friend and co-founder EJ Kim, NNABI was born. NNABI is more than just its products; it's about reshaping the perimenopause narrative and building a sisterhood they like to call "Peri Babes." The brand is dedicated to educating, empowering, and celebrating the strength of peri women everywhere.

I am a naturopathic physician. I practice family medicine with a focus on women's health. Areas of interest include: bio-identical hormones, nutrition, homeopathy (including biotherapeutic drainage), botanicals, diet and lifestyle counseling. I also have a great interest in complimentary cancer care.

Naturopathic physicians are trained in the art and science of natural healthcare at accredited medical colleges. Naturopathic medicine is a complementary and alternative medicine which emphasizes the body's intrinsic ability to heal and maintain itself. Our philosophies are:

First, do no harm

Recognize, respect and promote the healing power of nature

Identify and remove the causes of illness

Educate patients and encourage self-responsibility for health

Treat the whole person

PREVENTION!

Specialties: An understanding of hormones and how they interact. The ability to interpret salivary hormone levels and prescribe bio-identical hormones based on patient's needs. Also able to support patients with herbs, nutraceuticals, homeopathy, and with diet and lifestyle counseling.

EJ Kim was born and raised in Daejeon, South Korea. At the age of 15, she persuaded her parents to send her to the United States to learn English and become an international businesswoman. Moving to a different continent alone at a young age, EJ quickly learned self-reliance and independence, seizing every opportunity to pursue her dreams.

Beginning her career in finance, EJ soon realized her passion lay elsewhere. Desiring a more dynamic field, she transitioned to marketing, joining an advertising agency. This marked her entry into the creative business, where she flourished as a business and brand strategist. With expertise in utilizing research to uncover insights shaping business and brand strategy, she has spent almost two decades serving clients across diverse industries, finding the connection between business offerings and consumer demands through research, data, and strategic insights.

EJ's journey with NNABI evolved through trial and error over time, driven by her personal struggles with hormonal imbalances. In her thirties, while grappling with fertility issues and the symptoms of PCOS, she sought relief from the discomfort through various medical procedures. Dissatisfied with the invasive and costly treatments, she embarked on a quest for a gentler, natural solution to alleviate her symptoms and support women facing similar challenges. Her curiosity and passion fueled extensive research, leading her to a profound understanding of women's complex hormonal journey, beyond just menstruation, into the realm of perimenopause and she found herself in perimenopause. 

Realizing the overlooked needs of women in perimenopause, EJ joined forces with Marina, her co-founder, to establish NNABI. Their mission: to revolutionize how women experience perimenopause. NNABI believes that supporting women in perimenopause is not only crucial for women's healthcare but also vital for societal health and prosperity.
