Back to Basics with Jess

Because your health shouldn't feel like a full-time job.

Welcome to Back to Basics with Jess – where science-backed wellness meets real-life simplicity.

I’m Jessica Briecke, a Functional Nutritionist and Licensed Massage Therapist with over 30 years of experience in helping real people (like you!) ditch the confusion and feel better in their bodies.

I’ve Been Where You Are.

and I’ve Spent Decades Helping People Out of That Stuck, Foggy, Inflamed Place.

I’ve lived the healthy lifestyle.
I’ve taught the foundations for over 30 years.
And I know this for certain:

You cannot build a thriving body on unstable foundations.
But here’s the part no one is talking about…

Sometimes your foundations are off.
Sometimes your body can’t respond to the basics.
And sometimes?
You’ve done everything “right”… and you’re still not feeling like YOU.

That’s where peptides changed everything.

Sometimes your foundations aren’t broken — your body just can’t access them.

When I stripped everything back to the foundations — gut health, minerals, sleep, nervous system, real nourishment

— everything began to shift.
That’s what I teach you here.

And once those foundations were solid? That’s when I could finally see what else my body had been asking for all along.

Your Body Needs Better Signals.

So many people are doing all the “right” things—eating cleaner, walking more, taking supplements, managing stress—and still not feeling better.

That’s because foundations matter… but foundations alone aren’t always enough. Sometimes your body needs help turning those pathways back on.

That’s where peptides come in.

Meet Jess

Functional Nutritionist. Wellness Simplifier. Gut-Healing Guide.

Hi, I’m Jess — and I believe healing doesn’t have to be overwhelming, exhausting, or confusing.

For over 30 years, I’ve helped people feel better in their bodies by focusing on what really matters: the basics.

After my own journey through chronic health issues (despite living “healthy”), I discovered the power of minerals, mindset, and gut-brain support — and how easy it is to miss the foundational pieces when you’re bombarded by wellness noise.

Now, I help you reconnect with your body, reclaim your energy, and rebuild your health with simple, powerful shifts.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve “tried everything,” I’ve got you.

Let’s clear the clutter and get back to what works.
