At 40 years of age, Jennifer Schreckengost left behind her stable career, health insurance and the guarantee of many things to start living a life that she loved instead. Jennifer started a food blog, Wanderlust and Wellness, focused around promoting nut-free and paleo options, eventually switching to a more well-rounded version of nut-free, dairy-free and gluten-free. Since taking the leap Jennifer has successfully turned her brand into a full-time business and has never looked back.
