Welcome to Return to Eden with Jamie Woodle and Kendra Hann!
“Return to Eden” is a widely acclaimed health show originally initiated by Joe Ardis Horn, the CEO of Eden’s Essentials and a Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner. The show delves into the significance of embracing a natural and holistic lifestyle, highlighting the benefits of steering clear of harmful chemicals and processed foods. It encourages viewers to reconnect with nature and adopt nutritional practices that align with the body’s innate needs.
A central theme of the show is the critique of what is referred to as the “Babylonian System“ of the current healthcare climate, sometimes also called “Pharmakeia.” This metaphor is used to describe a healthcare approach that heavily relies on synthetic medications and interventions, often addressing symptoms rather than underlying causes. Return to Eden advocates for an alternative path—returning to natural remedies and nutritional wisdom that promote overall well-being, as originally intended in God’s perfect and natural design.
In today’s complex world, navigating the vast and often overwhelming information about health can be challenging. Topics such as vaccines, COVID-19, Alzheimer’s, and more are frequently subject to debate and misinformation. Jamie and Kendra aim to cut through the noise by providing well-researched information in an accessible and understandable way. Their mission is to empower everyone, regardless of their level of health knowledge, to implement a healthier lifestyle.
With dozens of episodes, Return to Eden covers a wide array of topics, including:
Immune Health
Cancer
The Microplastic Epidemic
Leaky Gut Syndrome
Neurological Diseases
Inflammation
Healthy Recipes
Personal Testimonies
Mental Health

Her compassion and commitment eventually led her to Edens Essentials, where she found her true professional purpose.
Grounded by her Christian faith, Kendra finds strength and guidance through her regular church attendance, which influences her work and home life alike. Her faith has been a vital support, especially as she’s navigated life as a widow, raising her children with strength, resiliency, and grace.

She believes that wellness encompasses not only physical health but also emotional and spiritual balance, and she integrates this philosophy into her work.
