"This book has the power to change your life."
-Jack Canfield
Our stories aren't set in stone. They can be Rewritten. Reclaimed. Reimagined.
What if the thing keeping you stuck isn't what you haven't tried-it's what you haven't unpacked? The past that's still running the show. The patterns you keep repeating. The outer voices drowning out the inner one that already knows what you need.
Your symptoms aren't random. Your struggles aren't separate. They're all connected-and they're all messengers pointing you back to yourself. This is your invitation to turn down the noise and turn up the knowing that's been there all along.
At twenty-two, Jennifer Juniper was handed an incurable diagnosis: Crohn's disease. She did everything right, following all the rules, every doctor's order. And got sicker.
One doctor said something that changed everything: The power of decision distinguishes those who suffer from those who get better.
That single spark ignited a sacred rebellion. Jennifer stopped chasing answers outside herself and turned inward-to the wisdom her body had been speaking all along. The Crohn's that was supposed to last for the rest of her life? Gone. Not just managed. Erased.
The method she created to heal her "incurable" disease became the blueprint for every challenge she encountered. Life has a way of adding weight to the barbell, and you can keep getting stronger.
Gut Instincts is part memoir, part manifesto, part permission slip. It's a field guide for people who are done with surface-level solutions and ready to go deeper-to the root cause, the unhealed stories, the places where your power got buried.
This isn't about following steps. It's about finding your way. It's an invitation to reclaim your inner authority. To trust that your symptoms aren't malfunctions. They're messengers. To remember that healing isn't about going back to who you were, but forward into more of who you truly are.
You have a place inside you where nothing is impossible. And it's been waiting for you to come home.
If you're ready to stop chasing and start creating-you hold the map. This book helps you read it.
Industry Reviews
My interest in Gut Instincts is a result of being a caregiver. I am attracted to books about life principles in action. Procuring survival skills as an advocate for overcoming chronic illness is a philosophy that parallels my own, and I was looking for a witness.
Juniper's writing style is witty and conversational in content. It is backed up by reflective action steps available to any reader willing to address unresolved trauma. She comes clean on the page, modeling victory over vulnerability in a very endearing way.
"The patients hadn't gone home intending to die, but rather with the attitude of if only I have one year to live, how do I want to live it? Not dying was simply a side effect of living alive when loved fearlessly and without apology."
If you are looking for a guide to help you "beat the odds" of immune disorders, abandonment issues, and chronic self-sabotage, this book is for you.
"For the first time in my life, I wasn't running from my disease-I was running towards something greater: my wholeness."
Loved it!
-Julanne Dalke, author of #1 Amazon Bestseller, Your Eternal Identity, Practicing the Principles of a Spirit Supplied Life.
As a gastroenterologist who has cared for countless patients over the decades, I know how deeply people search for clarity and hope when illness overwhelms. Gut Instincts offers both. It provides readers with a steady guide inward, offering tools and encouragement that make the path to healing feel possible again-a compassionate, practical companion for when nothing else seems to help.
-Mark Reichelderfer, MD & Professor of Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Jennifer Juniper writes with raw honesty and hard-won wisdom. Watching her live this transformation, and now seeing her share it so generously, reminded me why stories of real human courage matter most.
-Amber Nolan, screenwriter, director, producer
As a former national coach, I know firsthand the impact of the mind on physical health and performance. Gut Instincts is a remarkable piece of work-Jennifer brings together instinct, intuition, and deep wisdom to illuminate the mind-body connection and the healing power of thought. Her writing is insightful, uplifting, and an absolute joy to read.
-Denise Holland, Human Performance Consultant, speaker, author of Play Freely, and former national coach for Scotland Netball
Gut Instincts is for those who have ignored their gut, literally or figuratively, for years. It's never too late to come back to yourself. Follow Jen's lead. You will not be disappointed.
-Kristina Neihouse, author of the Knowing When to Leave trilogy
