About Molly Obert
My name is Molly, I am a wife and mother of two children. I was born and raised in central Ohio until I was 18 and went to college. During college I tried different dietary “titles” first vegetarianism then low-fat. Which translated to a very sugary diet and a lot of bread (I was often sick and very tired) . After college (I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism) I taught young children for ten years. I earned a master’s degree and learned that I love learning. I stopped teaching when my first child was born (I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia) and I stayed at home with both of my children for ten years.

I can’t recall a time when I didn’t think about what I was eating, whether healthy or not. Nor have I ever thought I would do anything but teach. I grew up in the seventies and eighties in a family that believed in whole foods. We never called it that but we had a garden that took half the backyard and grew enough vegetables that in the summer, the grocery budget decreased accordingly. Both of my parents were teachers; my grandpa taught in a one room schoolhouse. So my thought process was always, “When I’m a teacher I’ll….”.
I’ve always strived to eat better. Even when making HUGE MISTAKES like over-indulging on Twizzlers because they were clearly marked on the label, “A Fat Free Food!” Or eating a hamburger without the meat; white-bread-bun-only-sometimes-two because that counted as “vegetarian.”
Molly with her family
There were two instances in my life that I consider my nutritional milestones. I met a fantastic naturopath/MD about twenty years ago that really spoke to me and who started me on my own nutritional evolution. I lost a significant amount of weight, thus allowing for a healthy first pregnancy. During my pregnancy with my second child, I was introduced to raw foods. I was able to significantly alter some concerns my doctor had and proceeded to have another healthy pregnancy. After my second child was born, I was also able to address my hypothyroidism and fibromyalgia with food and I stopped taking any kind of medicine.
My willing family members and friends have been my guinea pigs for years. I like the challenges they bring me with weight loss, nutrition, food addiction and confusion over health headlines or what they see on television. I got my cousin to actually like green smoothies and (she’s done the hard work) literally change her life.
Plainly, clearly and to the point: My philosophy is that food can heal you, mentally, physically and emotionally. I would love to help people one-on-one, to turn on that light bulb and give them the power for themselves.
