Having a sustainable diet plan definitely helps for long-term weight management.

We are very glad you found time to visit our site. Hopefully we can help you lose weight the smart and savvy way.

There are a lot of diet and weight loss programs out there and a lot of them are not effective and do not make sense. However, my friends and I believe that there are some weight programs that are truly effective and can help you lose weight the savvy way.

We wish you the best in your journey to lose weight and become healthy.

Meet The Team

Jenna Simpson

An avid foodie and nutrition hound (sounds like an odd combo but yes, it can work 😂), Jenna started this site not knowing that it eventually can help people’s lives.

SavvyWP.com came online in 2013 as Jenna’s personal blog and focused from the start on diets and health and wellness strategies that had proved, in practice, to be savvy, practical, and effective.

When asked about why she decided to start this site, Jenna said:

“When I started blogging back in 2013, I just wanted to share some dieting and weight management tips that my friends and I had found useful.”

She fondly adds: 😊

“The reception was far more enthusiastic than I had dared to hope, and it quickly became clear that there was a larger, eager audience for our brand of smart, savvy personal health and wellness content.”

Inspired by how this site continues to make a positive impact on people’s lives, Jenna plans to keep on sharing the latest info and trends in weight management programs, nutrition, wellness, and health.

Jenna loves to cook and indulges on yummy desserts occasionally. Going to the farmers’ market and cooking for her family is what she loves to do most. You can also find her watching her favorite food network shows on weekends. 😁

She also says that:
