West Coast wellness guru Amanda Chantal Bacon has put her house in Santa Monica, California, back on the market for $6.495 million.

Since buying the property, which was partly designed by Frank Gehry, in 2015, Ms. Bacon has filled her Instagram with curated photos of life in the five-bedroom architectural house. She’s teased her latest herbal supplement "Sex Dust" from the Carrara marble countertops and done lymphatic-draining jumping jacks outside the cedar-shingle home.

She bought the home in Rustic Canyon, a lush tree-lined neighborhood in Santa Monica that has a microclimate more akin to cool San Francisco than Los Angeles, for $4.5 million, property records show. She did not return requests for comment for this article.

Ms. Bacon dabbled with selling the home for a few months last year before taking it off the market in May. She listed it again on Tuesday for the same price.

The midcentury home sits on a shady half acre. Its 3,800 square feet span five bedrooms and four bathrooms, with an airy, open floor plan, according to the listing. Christopher Pomeroy with Crosby Doe Associates is marketing the home.

Mr. Gehry, an L.A.-based contemporary architect, put his mark on the house in the mid-1980s by adding a pointed metal lookout tower that serves as a spacious, light-filled master bedroom.

Ms. Bacon, who’s in her mid-30s, founded Moon Juice, a line of trendy, herb-laced smoothie stores based in Los Angeles in 2011. Her health food gospel includes Gwyneth Paltrow-approved "dusts" and intriguing pantry staples like pearl extract and inflammation-taming "tocotrienols."

Like her brand of raw, adaptogenic superfoods, her home’s interiors boast every architectural buzzword—like a living room with exposed brick, reclaimed wood floors and pitched ceiling beams.

There’s a U-shaped chef’s kitchen anchored by a large kitchen island, hand-crafted casement windows, two fireplaces and an outdoor Japanese soaking tub.
