A Note From Me to You
Hi, I’m Dr. Ketikian—physician, founder of marmean, wife, and mom of two.
When I was in medical school with a newborn, no sleep, and too much on my plate, taking care of my body felt impossible.
My body came last—after the baby, the work, the deadlines, and the guilt. I was burned out and uncomfortable in my body. Until one day, I stopped waiting for a better time and started treating my body better.
But even now, I get it—trying to live healthy can feel so loud. So many trends, diets, supplements, opinions… it’s hard to know what’s real, what’s right, and what’s worth your time.
That’s why I created marmean. To cut through the noise. To give you science-backed, real-life tools that actually help. To offer support without shame and clarity without overwhelm.
You deserve to feel good in your body.
Let’s start there.
With love,

Vardanush Ketikian, M.D.
