Jim Robinson

With career spanning more than 22 years in digital media, Jim was ready for a change. He was looking for a role that would meld his professional acumen with his deepest passions. That’s why in 2022 he took the helm as Editorial Director here at Healthy Green Kitchen.

Jim has had a love of veggie gardening and cooking for most of his life, but it wasn’t until he was diagnosed with heart disease that he got the wake-up call he needed to begin his personal wellness journey in earnest. He made major changes to his diet, limiting processed junk food and emphasizing plant-forward, whole-foods. The result has been a major drop in his cholesterol levels and a weight loss of nearly 30 pounds. This transformative experience ignites Jim's zeal for empowering others on their wellness journeys.
