She’s been recognized as one of Podcast Magazine’s 40 under 40, nominated for the 2022 International Women’s Podcast Award for Visionary Leadership, and won Ear Worthy’s first Independent Podcast Award for best health podcast in 2024. Currently, Jenn is a nominee for the 2024 Women in Podcasting Awards for best health podcast and best expert guest. She is an Optimal Health Coach, Podcaster, and Business Consultant. Jenn grew up the skinny one in a family of dieters which was awesome(!) until it went away. And so began her weight management saga. Ultimately though, Jenn learned the nutrition education we’re all supposed to know but no one ever taught us. This completely changed her life and allowed her to say she “kicked her food issues.” From then, Jenn set-out on a mission to pay it forward and help people help themselves. After over a decade of working with clients, Jenn started Salad with a Side of Fries podcast. Based on science, yet lighthearted, Jenn talks about living life while still making ourselves and our health a priority.
