Meet Jen Hewson, a former elementary school teacher from Canada whose personal health crisis transformed into a life-changing mission. After being diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2017, Jen turned to natural medicine and holistic practices to heal herself—completely. Today, she runs Take Back Your Health, a thriving business focused on helping others restore wellness using food as medicine, quantum energy tools, and holistic testing.
Humans of Fuzia is proud to share Jen’s story with our 5-million-strong global community, where we celebrate voices that empower, uplift, and heal. Her journey is a true reflection of strength, purpose, and She for She.
Jen, how did your entrepreneurial journey begin, and what inspired Take Back Your Health?
In 2017, I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. At the time, I was teaching elementary school, but I had to take long-term disability leave because I was very unwell. I began searching for ways to heal myself naturally and discovered quantum energy tools and holistic medicine. I used food as medicine and shifted to a completely natural healing approach—and I fully recovered. That experience led me to start Take Back Your Health. I’ve been running my business for nearly five years now, and it’s grown into a multiple six-figure practice.
Are you managing the business entirely on your own?
For the most part, yes. But I do have a few amazing women who support me part-time with things like medicine preparation, filing, virtual assistance, and marketing. So I’d say I have four contracted team members who help me keep things running.
What has been the biggest challenge for you on this path?
Work-life balance, for sure. Balancing being a business owner with my roles as a mom, wife, and friend can be really tough. Time feels so limited, and it’s easy to get burnt out. I’m constantly learning to set better boundaries—with my clients and with myself—so I can also have space for my personal life.
Many solopreneurs struggle to find clients. Has that ever been a challenge for you?
Not at all. My business is 100% referral-based, and I often feel like I need more versions of me to meet the demand. Most of my clients come to me through word of mouth or through my content on social media. People connect with the transformation I share, and that leads them to my work.
Do you have any upcoming launches or exciting plans you’d like to share?
Yes! I’m nearly finished with my first book, Healing from the Inside Out: A Spiritual and Scientific Journey to Healing the Body. It’s about how I healed from cancer by integrating faith, natural healing, and science. It’s filled with clinical research, practical tools, and deeply personal reflections. I’m very excited to share it with the world later this year.
Tell us about how you work with clients and the kind of services you offer.
I support clients globally, both in person and virtually. I use a holistic health test that focuses heavily on digestive wellness and natural, plant-based nutrition. I also run the Natural Healing Learning Academy, where I train others in holistic practices. On July 12th and 13th, I’m leading a certification course in holistic health practices. In addition, I often speak at conferences—most recently at the Dream Conference in Atlanta—sharing my journey and the power of natural healing.
“Your body is wise and capable—when you feed it with nature and lead with faith, true healing begins.”
