Jewel recently stunned her fans by undergoing a bombshell makeover after turning 50.
While her new look may seem sudden to some, the star’s transformation certainly didn’t happen overnight.
Jewel, now 51, has prioritized health and fitness throughout her life, whether it’s eating clean foods or being consistent in the gym.
The Foolish Games singer has long followed a ‘biblical diet,’ which she has nothing to do with religion and all about eating food that comes organically from the ground before foods were widely genetically altered.
Explaining her diet to 24 Hour Fitness, she said that she often tailors what she’s eating to ensure that she isn’t deficient in certain nutrients.
‘I’m a nutrition fanatic and get my bloodwork done every couple of months. This helps me know the areas where I’m deficient and the kinds of foods or supplements I need to add to improve my diet,’ she explained.
She’s a big fan of raw vegetables and even drinks vegetable juice every day.

‘It’s really alkalizing and full of nutrients, which is really important,’ she told Self magazine.
‘I like to have low-glycemic juices so I don’t add a ton of fruits in there. I tend to do more green things like celery and cucumbers, spinach and some carrot and maybe beets.’
While she steers clear of sugary foods, Jewel loves proteins and fat because they can sustain her for longer.
She says that she isn’t a naturally fit person, so she works out regularly to stay in shape.
‘I like hiking because it combines nature with exercise and it’s something I can do with my son. I also love yoga and high-intensity circuit training,’ she told 24 Hour Fitness.
The songstress admits that she ‘worked out religiously’ before having son Kase in 2011, but now takes a more balanced approach to fitness.
When she’s short on time, Jewel takes 15 minutes a day to focus on her abs.

‘Some people have naturally fit abs but that’s not me. So I have to really work at them, and then maybe my butt if I have time,’ she told Self.
‘I love side planks for my obliques or I’ll do a bunch of different exercises every day just to keep it mixed up and keep me from getting bored or plateauing.’
Outside of diets and working out, Jewel also credits prioritizing her mental health as a huge part of her wellness journey.
She’s practiced mindfulness and meditation since her teenage years, including when she was homeless.
‘I was 14 when I learned how to properly meditate, and I can thank my aunt for that because I know meditation saved my life,’ she said.
‘For me, it has allowed me to go from a teenager riddled with anxiety to a happy, whole human.’

Jewel now has her own mental health app called Innerworld, which combines virtual reality with cognitive behavioral therapy techniques.
The Alaskan songstress has come a long way since her humble beginnings, but not everyone is happy about her Hollywood lifestyle.
Jewel, who counts Lauren Sanchez as a good friend and even attended her wedding to billionaire Jeff Bezos last week, has recently undergone a bombshell makeover that’s rubbed some of her longtime fans the wrong way.
At a party for the Bezos nuptials, the Intuition hitmaker slipped into a jaw-dropping lingerie corset and shorts from Dolce & Gabbana that left little to the imagination.
For one of her other wedding looks, she donned a racy red gown with a plunging neckline that showcased her cleavage.
While attending an event at Art Basel in Miami, the singer wore another lingerie-inspired ensemble from Dolce & Gabbana, this time in a pink shade.
And last year, Jewel slipped into a sparkly red mini-dress to party alongside Sanchez and the Hilton sisters at a swanky 60th birthday bash for Bezos.

The star’s new look, alongside her friendship with Sanchez, has irked many of her longtime fans.
‘It’s like your current actions totally contradict the messages that flowed through your lyrics for so many years,’ complained one.
Another commented, ‘You’ve broken my heart. Who will save your soul, Jewel?’
A third wrote, ‘I miss the Jewel of the 90s who wouldn’t have fallen into this crowd. She was too smart for that.’
A fourth fan added, ‘I came here trying to understand why Jewel is ‘entertaining’ MAGA, and some of these pics explain it.
‘She grew up isolated, got inculcated into the Hollywood elite early and is now friends with some the richest people in America.’
Despite the backlash, some loyal fans still offered their support in the comments section of Jewel’s Instagram page.
‘Jewel is the Goat all that need to be said,’ gushed one longtime admirer.
‘She was there mostly seeking donations to her mental health foundation. The comments here are from people that have no knowledge of her integrity,’ added another.

Back in January, Jewel publicly apologized to her fans after performing for Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s Make America Healthy Again Inaugural Ball.
The artist sang Somewhere Over The Rainbow for Kennedy, who is Donald Trump’s Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Jewel said she decided to perform in order to help ‘shape policy’ involving mental health.
The star burst onto the music scene in 1995 with the release of her debut album, Pieces of You.
It sold over 12 million copies worldwide and spawned hits like Foolish Games and You Were Meant For Me.
She released several more successful albums and more hits like Standing Still, Intuition, and Again and Again.
