Jenna-Leigh Hoffmann

Jenna-Leigh Hoffmann is a published author, integrative nutrition and functional health coach, entrepreneur, and researcher based in San Diego, California. Her work sits at the intersection of health, human performance, and the rhythms that shape our wellbeing.

With a multidisciplinary background spanning marketing, business strategy, integrative health, and storytelling, Jenna-Leigh explores a simple but often overlooked idea: human health is rhythmic. From the cycles of light and sleep to the patterns that govern metabolism, movement, and cognition, her work examines how aligning with natural biological rhythms may be one of the most important frontiers in preventative health and human flourishing.

Jenna-Leigh holds a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and a Master’s degree in International Business. She is a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and completed a 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training. Her multidisciplinary expertise is fueled by a deep curiosity about how humans can live, perform, and thrive in greater alignment with nature.

Her path into health began long before her professional career. As a former elite athlete, Jenna-Leigh trained at the Olympic Training Center and competed in fencing, triathlon, and modern pentathlon. These early experiences cultivated a lifelong fascination with the relationship between physiology, performance, and environment.

Her early professional career began in one of the world’s leading consulting firms, where she worked in technology consulting and digital product management. While the corporate world sharpened her skills in strategy, systems thinking, and innovation, it also sparked a deeper inquiry into health and human potential—ultimately leading her to travel extensively and build a career centered on wellness.

In 2022, Jenna-Leigh founded State of Sun, a wellness platform dedicated to inspiring optimal living through elevated wellness events, retreats, and experiences. Her work centers on helping individuals access their most vibrant state of being—what she calls a state of sun.

In 2024, she published her first book, Becoming Sunshine: Fine-Tune Your Health and Happiness, Harnessing Key Lessons from the Sun, offering readers a holistic guide to vitality, energy, and joy rooted in the rhythms of nature and human biology.

Through writing, coaching, and speaking, Jenna-Leigh shares her work with diverse audiences—from leading wellness workshops within Fortune 100 companies to speaking at neuro-yoga and integrative health conferences. In her private coaching practice, she works with individuals seeking to optimize immune balance, gut health, and cognitive function through personalized, functional approaches to health.

Jenna-Leigh is currently pursuing doctoral research exploring rhythmic coherence as a model for preventative health, investigating how alignment across biological, behavioral, and environmental systems may influence long-term wellbeing and human performance.

When she is not writing, researching, or working with clients, you’ll likely find her immersed in nature—sailing, free diving, running, or exploring remote coastlines and wild landscapes.

Through her work, Jenna-Leigh invites people to reconsider the pace and structure of modern life and to rediscover what becomes possible when we live more closely aligned with the rhythms that shaped us.
