Jennifer Marcks
Gluten-Free Marcks the Spot
As the creator of Gluten-Free MARCKS The Spot, Jennifer helps Moms and families fall in love with their gluten-free life. Having Celiac Disease and a gluten-intolerance in her family, she knows exactly what families are going through when trying to navigate gluten-free living and how to empower children to make healthy choices when they have food allergies.
Jennifer's mission is to help families ditch the overwhelm so you can have coffee with friends, lunch with the girls and take that beach vacation without wondering how you will manage dietary restrictions. When Jennifer is not whipping up a new gluten-free treat, you can find her sneaking off to read a good book, going for a walk or snuggling up with her family for games or possibly binge-watching Netflix.
