Sunrise Light Before Breakfast: The Meal Timing Habit That Supports Hormone Health In Menopausal Women with Jen Van Horn [Ep 100] — The Cinnamon Effect - Supporting Women's Health, Emotional Resilience and Personal Growth

Do you ever wonder why your energy runs out by eleven no matter what you add to your routine?

In this episode, I'm joined by Jen Van Horn, a holistic nutritionist who has spent more than 20 years working with clients in Florida on the foundations of their health.

Jen and I talk about why the light at sunrise carries information the body reads as instruction, and how those first few minutes outside set the rhythm everything else runs on. She explains what happens when women get up at five, walk into a bright gym, and skip that window entirely, and why so many of them tell her they're doing everything right. Jen also shares the grounding ritual she's kept with her son since he was two, and what changed in her own hormone health once she stopped treating the sunrise as optional.

You'll learn:

Why sunrise light can do more for your day than an extra hour of sleep
How to find the exact window where that light does its work
Why clouds, buildings, and cold mornings may not be the obstacle you think
What leptin resistance can look like in a woman who wakes up with no hunger at all
How to front load your protein intake in the first 45 minutes of the day
Why meal timing may have something to do with the three in the morning wake ups
What cortisol regulation has to do with the cortisol belly fat that workouts don't touch
Why plain water may never reach the cells you're trying to hydrate
How weight training can change the body in ways cardio can't for menopausal women
What Jen keeps on hand for gentle liver support, castor oil packs, and parasite cleanses
Why mitochondrial health may be sitting underneath every protocol you've already tried

If you’re ready to reclaim your energy in the easiest, most natural way, this episode is for you!

Hit play and let's grow together,
