Hi, I’m Jen, and I am BEYOND EXCITED that your eyes have landed RIGHT HERE today! I help people LOSE WEIGHT without dieting, counting calories, or exercising like a crazy person!

ABOUT So What IF? with Jen

I am a 49 year old MOM, WIFE, and TEACHER from the cool, but very snowy mitten-shaped state of Michigan. And, thanks to intermittent fasting, I am finally LIVING MY BEST LIFE NOW!

In January of 2021, I stumbled across this crazy, cool thing, called intermittent fasting. And before I knew it, I had lost 46 pounds in 4 months and gained a lifestyle filled with complete food freedom.

You can read my full intermittent fasting success story HERE or you can listen to it on my Intermittent Fasting Gems with Jen Podcast HERE.

I am super FIRED UP to use this website that I created while I was on my summer teaching break in 2022 to SHARE with YOU all of the unique intermittent fasting TIPS, TRICKS, RECIPES & SECRETS that I’ve learned along my HEALTH & WELLNESS journey.

And, guess what? It’s now 2025 and I’ve maintained my weight loss for almost 4 years now. And… I still feel like a MILLION BUCKS!

In addition to being what I like to call a “TEACHERPRENEUR” and starting this Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle website & BLOG, I have a few other very important jobs in my life.

I am a MOM to two awesome kids, Cambria (23) and Carson (20). I am a WIFE to my college sweetheart, Barry, whom I have been married to for 24 fantastic years now!

And…I am an ELEMENTARY GYM TEACHER who loves to laugh at corny jokes and play Pac-Man Tag with my superstar students who call me Mrs. T.

I feel best when I am TEACHING, HELPING & LOVING others which is why all of these roles are so important in my life!

Jen’s Favorite Things

My favorite color is PURPLE (every shade). I daydream about MEXICAN food, SUPERMAN ICE CREAM and all things CHOCOLATE.

I LOVE to spend any free time that I have READING, WRITING, and LEARNING NEW & COOL THINGS!

Oh, and I am an absolute TRUE CRIME JUNKIE (my favorite show is DATELINE and if being a full-time Jury Member was an actual real paying job, I quite likely would have chosen a different career path).

I’m addicted to THRIFT SHOPPING and really need the bumper sticker that reads “I STOP AT ALL GARAGE SALES!”

I enjoy GOLFING with my husband (9 holes only please) and when I need to clear my head I often head out for a jog with my dog, Buddy.

I LOVE TO RUN and have even completed two Full Marathons (26. 2 Miles), including the Boston Marathon in 2011.

And, the island of MAUI in HAWAII is the most beautiful place by far that I have ever visited in my 49 years on this earth.

Finally, hands down, my absolute favorite way to travel is on a CRUISE SHIP with my family!

So, this INTERMITTENT FASTING LIFESTYLE website and blog was created in July of 2022 in an effort to foster my intense love for SHARING, TEACHING, LEARNING, CREATING & HELPING!

I’d love for you to JOIN ME as we FAST OUR WAY TO FREEDOM… TOGETHER!

Have a BLESSED and BEAUTIFUL DAY!
