Ep 116 | Living longer is one thing. Feeling good while you're doing it is another—and that gap between healthspan and lifespan is what this episode is about.

Bill Quateman has a practical read on why so many of us feel tired, foggy, and a little "off" even when our labs come back fine. He and Jen get into hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA), the at-home test he calls the most foundational look at your own biochemistry, plus why minerals are the spark plugs behind your energy, the truth about mineral deficiency and fatigue, and how the slow metabolic decline that quietly starts in your early 30s doesn't have to run the show. They also talk longevity without the hype and what it really takes to build a healthy, non-toxic home. Jen opens up about chasing her own health backwards after a brain injury and a stroke, and why she brought so many healing tools into her space.

This one's for you if you're taking a cabinet full of supplements with no idea what's working, if you feel not sick exactly but not really well either, or if your energy and focus just aren't what they were ten years ago and you're ready to feel better as you age.

🕒 In this episode:
[04:10] – From a music career signed by Clive Davis to regenerative health
[12:20] – Hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA): the at-home test for your minerals and energy
[16:10] – Why minerals are the spark plugs of energy, and when the slow decline begins
[20:05] – Healthspan vs lifespan: feeling better now, not just living longer
[21:00] – Mineral deficiency, fatigue, and brain fog: testing over guessing on supplements
[27:25] – Turning your home into a healthy, non-toxic healing space: mindset, cleaner air, water, and light
[37:30] – What Bill believes is missing in the conventional medical world

Wherever you're starting from, the heart of this one is simple: your body wants to feel good, and it's not too late to give it what it needs.

Ep 115 | The materials and construction that go into a home matter. So does its energy. Brian Johnson builds healthy homes that account for both, with small steps that work whether you're breaking ground or already moved in.

Most healthy-home advice stops at non-toxic paint and a water filter. Brian goes deeper. A licensed contractor for 23+ years, he merges building science with building biology into a 12-principle framework for homes that don't just avoid harm, they support how you sleep, breathe, and feel. Jen and Brian discuss mold, EMFs, water, light, quantum energy, and why the walls around you matter more than you think.

This episode is for anyone who wants their home to support their health, whether you're building from the ground up, house-hunting, mid-renovation, or you just want the place you already live to feel better. No blueprint or big budget required.

🕒 In this episode:
[06:20] – The moldy-lumber moment that set Brian on this whole path
[18:25] – What "building science meets building biology" really means (and why the two worlds stay siloed)
[22:30] – Non-toxic building materials that still perform, and what "beyond LEED" looks like
[25:40] – The four types of EMF, and why dirty electricity is the noise you can feel but can't name
[28:00] – Water, light, and air designed as one system: filtration, full-spectrum lighting, and ventilation
[54:00] – The energy of a space: harmonizers and how a home feels
[1:15:00] – Inside "the element," Brian's community of 20 wellness-focused homes north of Tucson

You don't need to gut your house to start. Even a few of these principles can shift how your home feels, and how you feel inside it.

Meet Brian Johnson:
Brian is a general contractor, builder, and triple-certified building biologist, and one of the few people connecting how a home is built to the health of the people living in it. As founder and CEO of Senergy 360, he brings together two worlds that rarely meet, building science and human health, designing homes as living systems that support circadian rhythm, clean air, pure water, low-toxicity materials, and EMF-conscious electrical design. His signature 12 core principles for healthy building are becoming a new benchmark for homes that work with your biology instead of against it. He's also building the Healthy Building Alliance, a national platform connecting healthy-home experts, homeowners, and education.

Ep 114 | The question I get more than any other, you guys: does an infrared sauna help you lose weight? Today I'm giving you the honest answer—not the sales pitch.

In this Ask Jen minisode, I'm tackling the three sauna questions I hear every single day: whether your infrared sauna can help you lose weight, the best time of day to use it, and whether you should sauna before or after your workout. I'll share what the scale is really telling you (full disclosure: it's mostly water), where the sauna quietly earns its keep, and the personal story behind the 125 pounds I released years ago. Your sauna is a helper, not a magic wand—and once you see how it fits into the bigger wellness wheel, it gets a whole lot easier to use it well.

🕒 In this episode:
[00:00] — Welcome + asking a real person your sauna questions
[5:05] — Does an infrared sauna help you lose weight? The honest answer
[06:20] — Water weight vs. fat, and why hydration matters
[08:15] — What regular sauna use is associated with (circulation, cortisol, sleep, recovery)
[12:05] — Best time of day to sauna: morning vs. evening
[17:17] — Sauna before or after your workout (and the cold-vs-heat myth)

Here's what I want you to walk away with: your sauna isn't the thing that does the work—it's the thing that makes doing the work feel good. Stack it onto the habits you already love, and it quietly supports all of it.

[05:50] – Megan's "unbecoming": how divorce became a doorway to deeper healing
[11:00] – Why nervous system safety has to come before real surrender

[48:30] – What a five-day immersion retreat looks like, start to finish
[01:14:12] – Building a sacred container for healing right in your own home
[01:18:30] – Megan and Jen's upcoming event together this fall

This one's for you if you've been through a hard season, whether it's a divorce, a health scare, or just years of running on overdrive, and you're ready to feel safe in your own body again.

Ep 112 | If you've ever felt like there are SO. MANY. OPTIONS. when it comes to essential oils and had no idea where to start, this episode is for you. My friend Lacey Grim—a holistic health educator, folk herbalist, and essential oil educator—joins me to break down what makes an oil worth using, how to use them safely around kids, and simple ways to fold them into your day for better mood, better sleep, and relief from stress and headaches.

🕒 In this episode:
[04:15] – Lacey's path into essential oils and why she never looked back
[09:25] – Pure vs. "Frankenstein" oils, and why purity changes everything

[42:00] – Using essential oils safely with children, and building better sleep into your routine
[54:50] – Essential oils for the sauna

You don't need a cabinet full of oils to get started (no judgment if you already have one—mine's basically a small pharmacy at this point). Lacey shares the handful of multipurpose favorites that do the most work, so you can skip the overwhelm.

Meet Lacey Grim:
Lacey Grim is a holistic health educator, folk herbalist, and essential oil educator who has spent more than 20 years helping families embrace a more natural approach to health.

Ep 111 | What if your clothes could tell your muscles to let go? Not stretch them, not massage them—just signal them to release. That's not a wellness fantasy. That's what Brian Burzynski built.

Jen sits down with her friend Brian Burzynski, founder of Intelligent Threads, to talk about something most of us have never considered: that we're walking around in a constant state of muscular tension—and don't even know it. Life, stress, and years of structural compensation do that. Brian spent 15 years developing frequency-infused textiles with a particle that signals those muscles to release and stay released, supporting structural alignment, deeper sleep recovery, and improved athletic performance. This is the conversation Jen has been wanting to have on this show for two years, and it was worth every minute of the wait.

This episode is for anyone who feels tight even when they're lying still, wakes up more tired than when they went to bed, or has wondered why the same pain keeps coming back no matter what they try.

🕒 In this episode:
00:00 – Introduction: Brian's origin story and the ankle injury that started it all
07:20 – What muscle compensation is and why your pain might be showing up in the wrong place
17:33 – Jen's story: meeting Brian at Paleo FX and what happened to her left arm
24:40 – How frequency-infused textiles work and what's inside the fabric
29:40 – The sleep line: why nighttime is the most important time to use it
36:45 – What's next: neuromuscular activation, EMF support, and emotional well-being layer
37:47 – The bodybuilder test: 339 to 570 watts on the third set

Sleep better. Move better. Stay in the game longer. Brian's work is a reminder that sometimes the body just needs the right signal.

Meet Brian Burzynski:
Brian Burzynski has spent over 25 years studying structural alignment and how the body compensates when muscles hold tension in the wrong place. He's the founder and CSO of Intelligent Threads, launched in 2016, and the creator of the Synergy Release Method, which he has practiced out of his clinic in Kerrville, Texas since 2000. Brian has worked with professional athletes, elite sports teams, and people who've tried everything else. His clinic's approach: correct the structure, and let the body do the rest.

Ep 110 | Most builders compete on price. Paul Kealey says the real cost of a new home shows up in energy bills, air quality, and your health.

Paul Kealey joins Jen to talk about why a newer home isn't automatically a healthier one, and what's really driving the mold and air quality problems hiding behind so many walls. We get into passive house design, his BURDEN framework for the hidden stressors in your home, and the real, current mold story unfolding in Jen's own family right now.

🕒 In this episode:
[00:00] – Intro
[09:10] – Passive house design and the five principles behind it
[13:17] – Testing for mold and radon, and what most people miss
[20:05] – Why "new" doesn't mean "healthy": the farmhouse vs. new-build myth
[23:30] – Jen's family mold story, and what the storm exposed
[27:50] – Symptoms to watch for: fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, allergies
[30:05] – Paul's BURDEN framework and the hidden stressors in your home
[35:05] – House as medicine, and where to start
[39:30] – Where to find Paul and EkoBuilt

If you've never once considered that your house could be the reason you feel off, this conversation is going to change that.

✨ This episode is for you if:

• You've wondered why an old farmhouse can have better air quality than a brand-new build
• You've dealt with mold, allergies, brain fog, or poor sleep and can't pin down why
• You're building, renovating, or buying and want to know what questions to ask first
• You think your home should be supporting your health, not working against it

Meet Paul Kealey:
Paul Kealey is the founder of EkoBuilt and a Certified Passive House Consultant who has spent nearly two decades building high-performance homes across North America. He believes the real cost of homeownership shows up after move-in: energy bills, maintenance failures, air quality problems, and retrofits nobody budgeted for. Paul is convinced the housing crisis isn't just about price, it's about building science, and that we already have the knowledge and technology to build homes that are healthier, more resilient, and far less expensive to run over time. For Paul, this is about building homes that improve people's lives for generations, without cutting corners along the way.
