Meet Marina Bedrossian, RDN

Your IBS Specialist on Long Island Who Actually Gets It

Hi, I'm Marina — and I know exactly how frustrating IBS can be.

After years of watching brilliant, driven women cycle through elimination diets, expensive supplements, and “just manage it” advice, I realized something:

The problem isn't your willpower or your body being “broken” — it's that most approaches are treating symptoms instead of causes.

That's why I founded IBS Dietitians with a different philosophy: your gut doesn't need more restrictions—it needs real restoration.
Marina's Story Section

My Story: From Conventional to Life-Changing

As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I started my career following the traditional playbook. Hand out food lists, recommend fiber supplements, tell people to “reduce stress.” But I kept seeing the same pattern: temporary relief followed by frustration when symptoms returned.

Everything changed when I discovered functional medicine and root-cause healing.

Instead of just managing IBS symptoms, I learned to restore the underlying functions that create lasting digestive health:

  • Energy production at the cellular level
  • Gut-brain communication that's often misfiring
  • Microbiome balance that actually sticks
  • Natural digestive movement that works like it should

The results? Women who hadn't felt normal in years were finally living without bathroom anxiety, bloating, and food fear.

The Moment Everything Changed

I'll never forget the exhausted mother of three who came to me after years of failed treatments. Despite all my training, she still wasn't getting better.

Watching her struggle to show up for her kids because of her gut issues broke something open in me. I realized my integrative training wasn't enough.

That's when I made a promise: I would go far beyond conventional approaches to find what actually works.

I dove deeper into functional medicine and root-cause restoration – determined that no mother would leave my practice still suffering.

She became my first major success with this new approach. Today, she's the energetic, present mom she always wanted to be.
