Meet Jenny Wilson

Hello! I’m Jenny Wilson, the founder of OhWeightLoss.com. I’m a Certified Health Coach specialized in nutrition and wellness from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, with additional certification in plant-based nutrition through Cornell University’s online program. Currently, I’m furthering my education in nutritional science to better serve our community.

My Journey

My path to becoming a health coach wasn’t straightforward. Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, my family relied heavily on convenience foods. By my late twenties, I found myself 50 pounds overweight, constantly fatigued, and struggling with digestive issues that affected my quality of life.

After cycling through numerous fad diets with minimal lasting success, I began researching evidence-based nutrition approaches. I developed my own sustainable eating strategy focused on whole foods and realistic habits that fit into my busy life.

Over 18 months, I lost 45 pounds and experienced a complete transformation in my energy levels and overall wellbeing. Friends and family noticed the change and began asking for advice, which sparked my passion for nutrition education and eventually led me to change careers from marketing to health coaching.

My Approach

At OhWeightLoss.com, we believe in:

• Progress over perfection – Small, consistent changes lead to lasting results
• Joy in healthy eating – Focusing on delicious foods to add rather than restrictions
• Evidence-based information – Nutritional advice backed by current research
• Practical solutions – Recipes and strategies that work for busy, real-life schedules
• Body respect – Health and wellness at every stage of your journey

My Family

I live in Denver, Colorado with my husband Tom, a software engineer, and our 5-year-old daughter Lily. We love spending our weekends hiking in the beautiful Colorado mountains and cooking family meals together. Many of the kid-friendly recipes you’ll find on this site have passed the critical “Lily test” – if a 5-year-old approves, you know it’s good!

My Commitment to You

While I’m passionate about nutrition and health, I want to be clear that I’m not a medical professional. My strength lies in translating nutrition research into practical, everyday meals and habits that can work for busy people.

All the recipes and guidance shared on OhWeightLoss.com are based on what worked for me and others in our community, along with current nutritional research. For personalized medical or dietary advice, I always recommend consulting with healthcare professionals such as registered dietitians or your doctor.

I regularly feature guest posts from registered dietitians and other healthcare professionals for topics requiring clinical expertise, and I’m committed to continually updating my own knowledge and qualifications.
