The First Hour: My Post-Diagnosis Morning Routine, Backed by Research

Some of the most powerful medicine you'll ever take doesn't come from a pharmacy. It's the first hour of your day. In this solo episode, Jen walks you through her real morning routine after breast cancer. Not the highlight reel, the actual one. From the moment her feet hit the floor to the moment she sits down to work, every habit earned its spot, and Jen shares the research behind each one. You'll hear why she gets sunlight first thing, what goes in her smoothie and why prunes made the list, the reason she walks right after she eats, and the breathwork she never skips. Take what serves you and leave the rest. There's no gold star for doing it all. Pick one habit and start there. In this episode: Why how you wake up sets the frame for your whole day Morning sunlight and its link to cortisol, sleep, and mood Why moving slow calms your nervous system The plastic free swap that lowers your daily toxic load Red light therapy and collagen after estrogen loss The research on gratitude journaling, including a study in breast cancer survivors What's in Jen's smoothie, and why prunes support bone health The gut as your "second brain" How a 10 minute walk after eating supports blood sugar Movement for bone strength, plus breathwork to come back to center Links and resources: Simply Good Coffee (plastic free coffee maker, discount inside): Get it HERE Jen's red light panel: Use Code: jendelvaux to save  CoreFlow waitlist: JOIN HERE Free Not Today Cancer community: Request to join here Find Jen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jendelvaux/ Loved this episode?
