Jenny’s passions developed early as she was raised in the performing arts from the age of 5 and began studying foreign languages at age 7. Her artistic repertoire includes ballet, tap, jazz, gymnastics, pointe, modern, lyrical, pantomime, acrobatics, contemporary, freestyle, hip-hop, Pilates, flexibility, and special needs. Jenny heard her first foreign language at age 7 and from that point forward, she was determined to learn as many languages as possible and help people communicate. By her senior year of high school, she had already studied French, Japanese, Spanish, and Russian. Upon graduation, she enlisted in the US army to pursue a linguistic career as a Signal Intelligence Specialist. In the military, she became a Slavic language specialist and to date, she has experience working with more than 20 languages. Jenny was serving as a Department of Defense translator in military intelligence when she was first diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2000. This diagnosis marks the beginning of a dramatic change in her career path and life goals. Like many people, she rapidly went from great health and fitness to losing mobility in half of her body. Over the course of the following 5-10 years she suffered from many relapses and all treatment options available at the time were unsuccessful at slowing the progression of the disease. With no further guidance from the medical community regarding what actually causes MS and desperate for answers, her quest began.

Jenny began to research disease, nutrition, nutritional biochemistry, systems biology, traditional and herbal medicine and dietary supplements. She began to seriously study what MS does to the body in terms of disease and the biochemical processes necessary for the body to function optimally. Making herself a human science experiment, she made small changes to her diet and lifestyle that accumulated, her relapses became fewer, and the MS stabilized. She recovered to the point that she was able to begin dancing again and this recovery was so profound that it drove her to go to school with two goals:

1- Learn the science behind the treatment she developed.

2- Answer the question: can my treatment help others?

Jenny became a scientist and earned both her BS and MS in Biology (Cellular and Molecular). During that time, she designed and ran several experiments to test the effects of her treatment on processes involved in MS at the systemic and molecular levels. Results are consistent: every animal who received the treatment experienced full remission of disease, with numerous coinciding biological markers.

When the pandemic began, labs shut down and she was unable to complete molecular work on her samples. But with such significant results and reflecting on the above questions, in 2021, she started the Willison Foundation to support continuing MS research and the Global MS Society to help meet the unmet needs of her friends with MS. Regarding research, because her treatment is dietary and supplement-based, many of her friends with advanced MS are not able to use it; therefore, one of Jenny’s goals is to convert her treatment into an easier-to-use form such as a nutraceutical.

In the meantime, she founded the Global MS Society to figure out how to get her friends with MS the support they need to have a better quality of life, whatever those needs are, and wherever they are located. With her passion for languages and cultures, and with nearly 3 million MS sufferers in the world, the Global MS Society intends to translate the language of MS to the world, teach them how to manage the condition, and work towards unraveling it’s cause and cure. Given that she was diagnosed while serving in the military, she also hopes to work with fellow veterans with MS. Jenny has been homeschooling her children and teaching dance part-time for the past 12 years while going to college. With her passion for dance, she is reaching out to the global dance community to spread MS awareness and raise funds for the Global MS Society. She currently conducts investigative health research for clients, travels to give guest lectures and master classes, writes scientific manuscripts for peer-reviewed academic journals, and is pursuing a PhD.
