Your body runs on light. 🌞🌙

☀️ Morning:

First thing in the morning, I step outside and let my eyes take in sunlight with no sunglasses. This natural light resets my circadian rhythm, lowers cortisol, boosts energy, & sets me up for better sleep at night.

🌙 Evening:

When the sun goes down, I put on my blue light blockers to protect my circadian rhythm. Screens + artificial light can trick your brain into thinking it’s still daytime—keeping cortisol high & melatonin low. The result is poor sleep, hormone disruption, & slower fat burning.

Simple fix: morning light + protect your eyes at night. Your sleep, hormones, & energy will thank you.

Much Love,

Three years ago, doctors found a fibroid and wanted me to have surgery… I said, “hell no.” 💪

Instead, I’ve been using Chinese herbs, castor oil packs, abdominal massages, rebounding, and a fibroid-support supplement. It’s taking time but at my recent ultrasound, the doctor said, “Whatever you’re doing is amazing—it’s dissolving!”

Our bodies are always talking. Fibroids can hold emotional energy, often from hurt in past relationships. Listen. Heal. Trust yourself. 💛

Much Love,

Why I’m so intentional with my water 💧

I drink only from glass, ceramic, or copper (shoutout to Vesla copper bottles 🙌) whenever possible, and I structure my water with the wand while speaking positive words over it. Sounds woo woo? I know! But there’s science behind it.

✨ Studies show water can actually hold memory & its molecular structure changes based on the environment and even the energy it’s exposed to. When you structure water and keep it free from plastics and toxins, it becomes more bioavailable, meaning your cells can absorb and use it more effectively for true hydration.

Hydration = absorption. Drinking water is one thing, but helping your body actually use it is everything.💦

Much Love,
Jen 💛

The answer to all my problems probably isn’t in a cabin in Kennebunkport, Maine, but I’d better check again…

Last week I visited Maine for the first time, and it was the perfect reset for my nervous system, body + soul!

Some things I loved:

🏡 Stayed at the most idyllic cabin
☀️ Sunrise every morning — barefoot, no sunglasses
🦞 Lobsta’ & steamers (yummy & loaded with DHEA for a healthy hypothalamus).
🌊 Cold ocean swims for mitochondrial wake-up calls
🌲 All-day nature: rocky coast, mineral-rich ocean, gorgeous trees
📵 Early to bed, no TV, barely touched my phone

Getting back to nature and following your circadian rhythm is one of the best things you can do for your health!

Much Love,
Jen 💚

Wondering why cardio + fasting aren’t working anymore? For menopausal women, those methods can actually signal stress to your body preventing you from losing weight.

Instead try:

✔️ Shorter heavy weight workouts
✔️ High protein first thing
✔️ Rebounding + sun exposure

It’s changed my body and energy so much. No muffin top needed!

Feeling bloated, inflamed, or stuck in your weight loss journey? 😣

It might be what you’re eating every day (even the “healthy” stuff!).

One of my favorite tools for getting to the root of these symptoms is the 96 IgG Food Intolerance Test through Rupa. I order this test for so many clients struggling with:

✔️ Bloating
✔️ Eczema or skin flares
✔️ Stubborn weight gain
✔️ Chronic fatigue
✔️ Gut inflammation

This test gives you personalized insight into what foods you should avoid for the next 3 months to calm inflammation and give your gut lining a chance to heal.

👉 Example: You could be eating almonds every day thinking you’re being healthy—but if your gut’s reacting to them, they could be sabotaging your progress.

It also screens for gluten sensitivity—something I see constantly thanks to the rise of Frankenwheat 🌾

💡The good news is once your gut heals, most food sensitivities can go away! It’s not forever—just a temporary reset for long-term results.

Much Love,
Jen 💛

✨ Why Fasting Isn’t Ideal for Women in Menopause ✨

You’ve probably heard that skipping breakfast helps with weight loss (and it can!)—but if you’re in menopause or post-menopause, fasting could work against you.

Here’s why: 👇

🔹 Your hypothalamus needs to feel safe.�When you skip meals, especially breakfast, your body perceives stress—and stress = stored fat.

🔹 Cortisol spikes in the morning.�Skipping protein allows cortisol to stay elevated, which can lead to weight gain (especially belly fat), poor sleep & hormone imbalance.

🔹 Protein in the morning is key.�It sends a powerful safety signal to your body and helps balance blood sugar and hormones throughout the day. (Get my protein matcha recipe here: https://www.jenvanhorn.com/recipes-1/jens-protein-matcha )

🔹 Women in menopause need stability.�Fasting can increase irritability, anxiety, and worsen sleep and energy—none of which you need more of!

Instead of fasting → Fuel up with protein within 60 minutes of waking.
�Your metabolism, mood, and muscles will thank you. 💪

Much Love,�Jen 💛

I take Cymbiotika’s Omega DHA + EPA with Astaxanthin daily—especially in these summer months… though let’s be honest, it’s eternally summer here in Palm Beach.🌴☀️

Why I love it so much:

🧡 Astaxanthin = internal sunscreen!
Helps prevent sunburn, supports collagen, and protects against UV damage by stopping free radicals in their tracks.

💧 DHA & EPA = inflammation fighters
They strengthen your skin barrier, improve cell communication, and are vital for your brain, heart, and full-body repair.

Bonus: It’s a delicious, liposomal formula that’s easy to absorb and tastes great.

This is one of my non-negotiables for healthy skin + aging well from the inside out.

Myth: Menopause automatically = a muffin top

Truth? Change how you eat + move, and you’ll be shocked.

Menopausal and post-menopausal bodies need a different kind of support. You don’t need more cardio or to kill yourself at the gym—you need the right hormonal stimulus.

Now that I’m in menopause, this is what works for me:

💪 4x/week heavy weight training Life Time Palm Beach Gardens

🔥 Short, intense workouts (deadlifts + jump squats)

🌞 Rebounding outside for 5–30 min, 3–4x/week

🧘‍♀️ Hot yoga 1x/week Hamsa Power Yoga for my soul

🚶‍♀️ Walks for peace of mind

😴 Rest days are essential!

I also fuel up with protein before my workouts (20g matcha protein drink = hypothalamus support + fat burning mode) and eat a high-protein breakfast after.

Since shifting to this, my body feels more toned, lighter, and less bloated—with less time at the gym.

Menopausal training is totally different—and when you get it right, the results speak for themselves. 💛
