The Inspire Health by Jen Podcast
Hi! My name is Jen, I’m a functional medicine doctor and I am here to tell you that your body can HEAL.. In fact not only can your body heal but your whole LIFE can HEAL. I’ve healed eight different chronic and autoimmune conditions that had me bedridden sick with little hope for my future in my twenties. I created this podcast to give you the inspiration and the tools to heal your body, your mind, your heart, your spirit and your LIFE. This podcast is for patients, practitioners, and people who want to listen from the place where Spirit and science meet. This podcast is a place for humans with human questions to go deeper on their spiritual journey and reconnect with their soul. As we heal our body we have a body that moves well, thinks well, loves well and THAT is a body we want to be in for this life. A body that is feeling well is a body that is living in alignment, a body that lives in alignment is a body that can carry out our soul’s work here on this Earth.

As women, we’ve been kinda left in the dark when it comes to our hormones. And if we’re being honest our current tools for hormone healing kinda suck! Being told it’s normal (negligence), being given crappy synthetic hormones (birth control), or straight up having the gland or organ removed (surgery).
We can DO BETTER if we KNOW BETTER!
That is why I want to share this replay of our Body Decoded webinar with you all.

Barbara Huson is the author of 7 best selling books with a powerful teaching for women.
Her message is to teach women the secret wisdom of creating wealth and asserting power as a woman.
As her story goes: she grew up relying on her father (the “R” of H&R Block), then her husband, to manage her inheritance. But early in the marriage, she found out her husband was a compulsive gambler. She explains she continued to let him handle all our finances because that’s how scared and intimidated she was by money.
Soon after she received a tax bill for over $1m for illegal deals from her ex husband. He’d left the country. She didn’t have anywhere close to $1m. And her father wouldn’t lend her the money. She had three daughters — one just a baby at the time.
That’s when she knew she had to get smart. And she did.
Today Barbara is here to share her journey to financial independence in hopes of inspiring, and even better, motivating YOU to become smart (or smarter) with money… and earn more than you’re making now. It’s much simpler and more in your control than you may realize she says.
Barbara’s 7 books linked below:
Prince Charming Isn’t Coming: How Women Get Smart About Money
Secrets of Six-Figure Women: Surprising Strategies to up Your Earnings and Change Your Life
Overcoming Underearning: A Five-Step Plan to a Richer Life

Ladies (and gentleman)-
If you’re feeling like your hormones are a little out of whack (or A LOT) and you’re wondering what, when, why, and HOW to fix them this episode is for you!!!
Hormones go beyond the pituitary gland, beyond the hypothalamus, and into the measurable energy field.
Hormones connect the mind and the soul to this physical plane- which means when our hormones are suboptimal we are living half alive as hormones decline and consciousness slips at the time of a natural normal death.
Instead we are living a half, early death with hormonal decline due to our food, water, medications, air quality, and societal norms. Our unknowingness is literally causing hormone decline to happen NOW.
THIS is why we feel the way we feel!
THIS is why we have conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, fatigue, weight gain, low libido, HPV, STDs, grueling menopause symptoms, and all hormonal conditions!
We can awaken and take our power back- it starts with listening to this episode.
You will LOVE this week’s guest, Lisa Everett Andersen, Holistic Clinical Pharmacist and board certified clinical nutritionist dispensing a different prescription!
Beyond her vast array of clinical evidenced based guidance shared in this episode, Lisa’s utmost advice to all listeners along their healing journey is to come from love and make these changes in love- that approach opens the pathways for healing and raises the vibration for all here on Earth!

In this episode, my now friend and former client Brook joins us to tell all women about the healing possible in her body. Brook is a SymptomLESS Program graduate, engineer of a fortune 500 company, yogi, wife, daughter, and incredibly inspiring woman!
In this show, Brook talks about how for 20 years she struggled with endometriosis pain while doctors reminded her constantly that what she experienced was normal. Finally, one doctor took her seriously and recommended oral birth control pills. This further catapulted her health into ruins until she found the real heal.
Brook now lives without the crippling symptoms from her menstrual cycle causing her to cancel trips and live a life feeling harnessed by her pain.
If you are wondering how it could be possible for you to heal endometriosis this podcast is a MUST LISTEN!!!

Confused about nutrition advice?
First things first..
Don’t let anyone tell you how to eat if you have found the gold standard that works for you.
Second thing…
I see it every single day in practice. We are led astray with trendy nutrition advice that is not backed by science and is making us SICK.
Third thing..
I hate seeing friends and family confused about nutrition advice so I decided to make a podcast about it..
Thank you so much for joining me for this week’s episode. This episode is for you if you want to hear all about how the keto diet was the worst thing I had ever done for my health and why fruit is your new bff!

Do you ever feel just kind of puffy? You can’t say that you’re “fat” because you move your body well and still encompass a healthy body shape. You eat better than 90% of people you know, yet you still find yourself struggling with your target waist size.
What gives??
I would like to suggest to you that you are indeed not the word “fat” (as much as I despise that label), you are instead dealing with a great deal of inflammation in your body. So what is inflammation exactly?
Let’s check in with how you’re feeling inside your body...

Ten years and 8 autoimmune/chronic conditions into remission ago (in my Gettysburg address voice) I can tell you there is SO MUCH misinformation when it comes to autoimmune disease. So much that sometimes it makes me so angry with the medical profession.
Even our medical professionals don’t readily share the truth about your body’s ability to heal because they simply have been taught a different rhetoric.
Let’s reprogram your rhetoric right here, right now, with the fact- filled research.

We’ve all heard the rumor. That gluten and dairy are “bad” for us. We’ve all sat next to someone at a restaurant who asked their waitress from the gluten free menu and then proceeded to order their salad with no cheese. Is going gluten and dairy free just another fad craze by health nuts or is there some real substance behind this movement?
Just a few years ago I had stated to a friend, “I don’t believe any food group is bad and think it’s all a hype.” About two months after that, I received confirmation I had autoimmune disease and going gluten & dairy free were the first interventions on my care plan. “NO ICE CREAM ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?” I could not believe it, but was so miserable I was willing to try about anything. Just two weeks into the lifestyle change I had dropped 9 pounds and had so much energy I felt like I might pass out. The inflammation and weight were just falling away from my body. I was confronted with my former limited mindset and began to explore further what these foods were doing to my body previously.
So what do gluten and dairy actually DO in your body?
Let’s start with this question..
