Now Accepting New Patients at The Flourish Center

I’m happy to share that we are currently welcoming new patients at The Flourish Center.

My work as a nurse practitioner is rooted in integrative, whole-person care. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, we look at all aspects of your life—physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, sexual, financial, and social—because true healing doesn’t happen in isolation.

At The Flourish Center, we offer restorative therapies for lifestyle resiliency, including integrative primary care, Holistic Pelvic Care™, mental health counseling, and nutrition guidance. Care is personalized, collaborative, and designed to support healing from the inside out—using the least invasive approaches possible.

I don’t believe you are broken, and I don’t believe healing has to be hard. My role is to guide and support you as you reconnect with your body, your health, and your sense of vitality.

If you’ve been looking for a more thoughtful, relationship-based approach to healthcare, we would love to support you.

It’s National Cupcake Day 🧁

One of the biggest myths about lifestyle medicine is that it means skipping all the fun. In reality, it’s about adjusting—not eliminating. Celebration foods can still have a place when they’re made with intention, better ingredients, and balance. You don’t need perfection to support your health. You just need choices that work with your body instead of against it.

Here’s a lifestyle-medicine-compatible cupcake you can enjoy today—simple, nourishing, and still festive.

🍌 Wholesome Banana Oat Cupcakes
Makes 8–10 cupcakes
Ingredients
1½ cups oat flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 eggs
¼ cup maple syrup or honey
¼ cup olive oil or melted coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional add-ins:
Dark chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or blueberries

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin.
Mix dry ingredients in one bowl.
In another bowl, whisk bananas, eggs, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla.
Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.
Divide into liners and bake 18–22 minutes, until set.
Optional simple topping:
Plain Greek yogurt mixed with a little vanilla and cinnamon.

These cupcakes offer fiber, healthy fats, and steady energy—and they still feel like a treat. That’s lifestyle medicine in action: enjoying life while supporting long-term health.

Enjoy your cupcake today—and notice how good it feels to celebrate and nourish yourself. 🧁✨

Have a great weekend 💛

If you’re looking to make it a little more restorative, here are a few simple lifestyle medicine reminders to support your body and nervous system:

🥕 Eat some veggies — not perfectly, just intentionally. Adding fiber and color to a meal helps stabilize blood sugar and energy.
🚶 Move gently — a walk, some stretching, or time outside counts. It doesn’t need to be a workout.
💤 Protect your sleep — try to stay close to your usual schedule, even if the weekend looks different.
💧 Hydrate well — especially if you’re enjoying richer foods or drinks.
🧠 Create a pause — a few deep breaths, a quiet moment, or time without stimulation can go a long way.

You don’t have to do all of this to benefit. One small, supportive choice is enough.
Have a great weekend everyone ✨

Another Reason to Rethink All That Sitting 🪑

We often hear that “movement is medicine,” but one of the most overlooked truths is that prolonged sitting quietly chips away at your health—even if you exercise. Research shows that replacing just 30 minutes of sitting each day with gentle, low-intensity movement can lower your risk of early death by 17%. That’s not hours at the gym… that’s a single half-hour of walking, stretching, or simply being on your feet.

Even more striking? Reducing daily sitting from 6 hours to 3 hours can add up to 2 years to your life expectancy. Two years—from simply changing what your body does while you’re working, watching TV, or scrolling. And if that feels overwhelming, here’s an accessible place to begin: switching to standing for just 2 hours a day is linked to a 10% reduction in mortality. Small swaps truly matter.

Your body was designed for circulation, breath, and gentle movement—not stagnation. Think of these changes not as “exercise,” but as micro-moments of health: standing while on the phone, walking during a meeting, stretching during commercials, or breaking up desk time every 20–30 minutes. These little shifts carry big returns. ❤️‍🩹

If you’d like support creating simple, sustainable lifestyle habits that genuinely improve your long-term health, I’d love to work with you.

If you’ve been feeling the midweek tension building in your body, you’re not alone. Stress isn’t just a mental experience—your nervous system feels it too. In this week’s blog, I’m sharing a simple EFT tapping routine you can use anytime to release emotional pressure and help your system settle. It’s quick, practical, and easy to use whether you’re at home, at work, or on the go.

If this resonates, I’d love for you to read the full post.

It’s no surprise that so many people feel tired, inflamed, or “off” these days—our food landscape has completely shifted.
When you look at the breakdown of the typical U.S. diet, it tells a pretty clear story:

🥫 63% processed foods
🍗 25% animal foods
🌱 6% processed plant foods
🥦 Only 6% unprocessed plant foods

When most of what we eat is coming from packages rather than plants, our bodies miss out on the fiber, phytonutrients, antioxidants, and natural variety that keep our systems balanced. Over time, this shift contributes to blood sugar issues, inflammation, weight changes, digestive problems, and that constant “why don’t I feel like myself?” feeling I hear from so many patients.

The good news? Small changes create big shifts.
Even increasing your unprocessed plant foods to 10–20% of your daily intake can improve energy, digestion, mood, and metabolic health. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about gently tilting the scale back toward real, nourishing foods your body recognizes.

If you’re wanting support making sustainable changes that actually feel doable, reach out—I’d love to work with you.

Healthcare with a focus on healing, wellness, and vibrant living. ✨

As a medically trained and nationally board-certified Adult Nurse Practitioner, I offer primary care services that integrate all aspects of wellness. I can perform your annual wellness exams, order your labs, make sure you're aware of all recommended screenings, help you understand your options, and support you with anything that comes up in between.

I combine my conventional medical training, 28 years of experience in natural medicine, and my work as a healer to create a truly integrated wellness experience. In one visit, we might discuss the physiology behind your symptoms, order testing to uncover the root cause, complete a detailed physical exam, choose supplements or prescription medications, create a personalized herbal blend, explore emotional contributors to your symptoms, or do breathwork or guided meditation. It all depends on what you need.

My patients appreciate that I’m able to bring together evidence-based primary care, ancient healing practices, and earth-based medicines. I help you let go of self-blame and get curious about what your body is trying to tell you—physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, socially, or even financially. I’m here to help you sort it all out.

If you're ready to get curious and take a more integrated approach to your health, you can book a new patient consultation at jenowen.co.

One thing I’ve learned again and again in lifestyle medicine is that our bodies love consistency—especially when it comes to sleep. Getting up early some days and sleeping in other days can feel harmless, but it actually disrupts our natural rhythm more than we realize. It’s a bit like giving yourself jet lag every weekend.

If you’re curious to experiment, try sticking to your usual sleep and wake times this weekend and just notice how you feel. You might be surprised by the difference in your energy, mood, and clarity. 😌✨

Prolonged sitting is one of the quietest—and most underestimated—drivers of poor health. Even if you exercise regularly, long stretches of sitting throughout the day still increase disease risk and contribute to all-cause mortality. 🪑⚠️

Here are a few eye-opening findings:

• 7% of all-cause mortality is associated with habitual prolonged sitting
• Disease risks rise even if you meet exercise guidelines
• Consistent across all ages, genders, and chronic disease states
• Two-minute walking breaks every 20 minutes improve glucose + insulin
• Watching TV increases mortality risk even with 7 hours of weekly exercise
• Replacing 30 minutes of sitting/day with light movement lowers early death risk by 17%
• Reducing sitting from 6 to 3 hours/day may add up to 2 years of life expectancy
• Standing for 2 hours/day is linked to a 10% reduction in mortality

Per the ADA, breaking up sitting—especially after meals—reduces post-meal glucose and insulin spikes. Standing desks burn only slightly more calories, but movement or a treadmill desk is even better. 🚶‍♀️✨

Big takeaway: Low cardiorespiratory fitness remains the #1 risk factor for early mortality. Small, consistent movement throughout your day truly adds up. 💛

If your body has been asking you to get up and move more…this is your gentle nudge.

If you’ve ever wondered why some symptoms keep returning no matter how “healthy” you try to be, this new blog is for you ✨

I’m sharing the 7 Pillars of Holistic Living—the framework I’ve used for decades to help people understand the deeper layers of their wellness. These pillars (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, sexual, and financial) shape everything about how you feel, and when even one is out of balance, your body will eventually speak up.

If you’re ready for a clearer, more compassionate way to understand your health, I’d love for you to read it.
