Bio: 
 
I born in New York City and grew up in Richmond, Virginia. I became interested in medicine at an early age, thanks to childhood ear infections and allergies. This gave me an enduring interest in the immune system.
 
At fifteen, I decided that I would go to medical school. I studied biochemistry and environmental health in college, graduating Phi Beta Kappa. I went on to receive my medical doctorate from the University of Virginia School of Medicine.
I then trained in Internal Medicine at Maine Medical Center. I practiced general medicine as a traveling doctor for three years after residency.
 
I now practice natural and functional medicine in Richmond, Virginia.

Kriben Govender's journey is a testament to how personal crisis can lead to profound discovery. After a period where his life unraveled through professional bullying, personal loss, and deep isolation, he found a lifeline not in abstract concepts, but in the very real science of the microbiome. As a Food Scientist and founder of Nourishme Organics, Kriben now channels that hard-won perspective into The Gut Health Gurus Podcast. Here, conversations move beyond dry dietary advice to explore the tangible connections between our digestive system and everything from mental resilience to physical fitness. Each episode feels like a candid discussion, unpacking how nurturing gut health can fundamentally alter one's wellbeing. You'll hear from a range of voices-scientists, practitioners, and people with lived experience-all grounded in Kriben's own understanding that true health often starts from within. This isn't about quick fixes; it's about building a sustainable, informed relationship with your body. Tune in for a podcast that blends evidence-based nutrition with the very human stories behind the science, offering a compassionate and practical guide to taking control of your health from the inside out.
