Today we’d like to introduce you to Jennifer Horn.
Hi Jennifer, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I was always attracted to holistic medicine at a young age and had seen it work for so many various ailments in the home I grew up in. Later in life while attending my Chinese medicine and Acupuncture graduate studies my mom became very ill with the symptoms of Thyroid dysfunction. I saw first hand how the experience of weight gain, severe fatigue and brain fog took their toll on my mother and started to research how to best help her. I encouraged her to make an appointment with a Functional medicine practitioner and was amazed to see her transform back into herself again in just a couple of months. Even though I believed in the power of natural medicine, I did not expect to see her health turn around so rapidly. She had lost 20 pounds, regained her energy and positive mood back so rapidly! After witnessing her dramatic transformation, I embraced Functional Medicine and began teaching patients about how it could help them when I opened my clinic in 2015. Ever since, I’ve had the pleasure of helping women achieve similar transformations like my mother’s. Taking women from feeling hopeless, unhappy and confused about what to do with their current state of health and showing them the path to regaining their vibrancy and vitality never gets old. I truly feel honored to have been able to help so many.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
While it has not always been a smooth road, the challenges I have faced have not only made me a better practitioner but have also made Horn Holistic Health more accessible to those who could benefit from functional medicine. I have always loved the personal interaction of having a brick and mortar clinic with patients and never saw myself doing business any other way until Covid. This time period called for problem solving of how to continue serving patients while keeping a real heart centered connection. This was the beginning of what is now a thriving virtual practice that allows me to connect with many who never had the ability to drive to receive care due to disability or the inconvenience of distance while still providing quality care. The fact that technology would not have supported such a model of care even 15 years ago seems absurd! We truly are lucky to be living in a time where we can take advantage of these advances.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Horn Holistic Health is focused on women’s hormonal health. I most often assist women dealing with chronic disease, perimenopause/menopausal symptoms, cycle irregularities, infertility or thyroid dysfunction. Many come to me looking for an alternative medical opinion compared to their usual Western lens of care. Luckily, thousands of years of wise herbal traditions combined with current medical research has made it possible for real, workable solutions for conditions women have previously been forced to just accept and endure. If a woman has ever been told, “It’s just what happens at this age.” or “Nothing can be done but taking this prescription.” or even ” We recommend having this procedure.” but knows deep down inside there is more to her story and reaches out to us, she can experience a real paradigm shift in why her body is showing certain signs and symptoms and be offered an alternative way to heal. Horn Holistic Health’s programs are designed to not only get women the results they are seeking but also teaches them in the process how to keep their new, healthier state of being.
What are your plans for the future?
Currently Horn Holistic Health has been focused on highly individualized health programs for each woman it serves. While we will continue to offer this level of quality, individualized care, we are looking forward to making group detoxification programs available for those seeking real results for weight loss and improved metabolic health that includes the support of a community of like- minded women. In keeping in the theme of community we will also be offering group fertility programs that offer women more than just insightful functional medical support proven to increase fertility outcomes but will also offer clarity, hope and real transformational support while navigating what can be a challenging time for many. The new year will bring more current announcements about the launch of both programs on our Instagram, Facebook and Linked in platforms.
