None of what I'm sharing should be taken as prescriptive as I'm merely sharing my experience. Everybody's body is so different and with diet and lifestyle especially, multiple factors are involved in determining what's best suited to each person. My best advice would be that if you are curious or interested in any particular way of eating or implementing a major lifestyle change (like routine fasting), then thoroughly research first--looking at all sides, pros AND cons--and then APPLY it to yourself; and SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I would also encourage you to seek guidance if so inclined. Included in the description box are a few resources. Conduct independent research and always think for yourself, period. But do not underestimate that there is great wisdom in the body--we have to be aware and pay close attention to our bodies' signals. Never ignore the wisdom of your own body (emphasis on YOUR body).

@Jane Smith We do care about the environment but we also care about our health. Stop copying your reply to every single comment that talks about meat, because people can eat whatever they want without others trying to make feel guilty about it. You're annoying, get a life.
How does one interpret scientific research though if they have no scientific background? I totally agree that we need to get in touch with our bodies, I think it needs to be balanced with a true scientific approach, but I don't understand scientific terminology and I dont think I'm smart enough to self educate, so would I go about doing my own research or finding a trustworthy practitioner. I used to think I knew things and then came to realize I was buying into pseudoscience and i feel skeptical of most things now.
I’ve seen that you haven’t posted in a couple of months. I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy your fresh perspective, simple persona, and manner of speaking. I really hope you can post soon, not for any particular reason, just to let us know you’re doing well. If, by chance, you see this, I hope you are safe and healthy. We all miss you and wish you the best!
I thank you for your kind words. I had posted on my community tab that I’m taking a hiatus for awhile, but I will post again when the time is right. Thank you for your patience. 🙏❤️
@@JenniferMyers You’re welcome. And thank YOU, for being so kind and lovely. It seems that I’ve unfortunately missed your community post. Of course, take all the time you need! ❤️
Hi again! YES, apart from being personal because everyone's body is different and have different needs over time is the psychological part, I particuarly like how French people eat, not what they eat but How: no snacking, small portions, be present in the moment and whenever possible... to share with family and friends.
Everyone's preferences are different! People need to find what works for them. That will serve each person the best and also it'll be the most sustainable, which is hugely important for longevity.
It's also important to be free and not worry about wrinkles too much. Fasting and carnivore are more important, in my opinion. well, not quite zero carb for everyone. And wearing sunscreen. I'm in no way stiff and my sister aways asks me, what skincare are you using, please tell me.. she takes her phone out to take notes and I tell her, it's Fasting and a very nutrient dense way of eating.
Yes botox is really good to paralize the muscles of the face and prevent any wrinkles :)! You can make more research also about it if you wish, and see that botox gives exacly this result of unexpresivity due to it, not due to natural treatments and diet only
Jennifer, I found your channel a few days ago I don’t even remember how but since I have watched almost all of your videos. You have such a calm, genuine presence that warms my soul. I am thankful for your videos, thank you so much for being you and for posting on here! ❤️
I don’t know for how long you plan to be away but I just wanted to stop to tell you I miss your content and personality so much , you helped a lot and I hope you are doing great 👍 🦋
Dr. Berg's chanel is one of the best and truly life changing discoveries I have made over the past 5-10years. But you are so right Jennifer: even the most valuable information is useless unless there is a willingness, self-dicipline and consistency
I loved how you discussed your approach to food. I have also struggled with overeating, underrating, emotionally eating etc. Hearing your approach (non-processed foods, eating nutrient rich foods, and listening to hunger and other cues), has given me new incentive to reassess my health and diet. I also loved how you touched upon the topic of how doctors often use these problems to benefit gracefully. I’ve exhausted the topic of food for the past couple of years. Now, I’m going to work with my body instead of against it. Thank you so much for all this lovely information (and the linking of so many useful resources in your description) It was very helpful to me!
@Jane Smith most vegetarins/vegans I know or see on youtube eat "ecological" options that were transportent thousands of kilometers from one country or continent to another...where I live avocados, tomatoes, fruits etc does not grown all year around and need to be transportated which puts much more ecologic weight on earth as locally rised and slauthered meat.
also there are much more to do in this perspective:buy less, consume less. I personally do not buy fast fashion and do not buy unnecessary stuff in general, i am a minimalist, I do not but new i phone or macbook every year, I do not use a car, i use public transport, i buy high qualitty things that hold very long and do not need to be replaced, i try to buy stuff in bigger degradable package, I buy grrren electricity for my houlhold(where I love you can choose) etc.....in comparison with just eatting localy grown meat is much much more important....people are way too emotional about vegetyarian diat.
@Jane Smith and for the last, good for you if you can feel great on plant based diet, I was vegetarian for years and felt and looked quite bad and eating beef-greens diet literraly saved me, my mental health, my bodily health, my skin, my everything. It just what MY body needs.
Hi Jennifer, I just found your channel and I'm so very glad I did. I'm really lost but mean to my body and have been for many years. I'm really glad and grateful I can look to you and your videos to learn how to love myself, take care of and be gentle/r to myself, and just for all around wellness. I find your videos very soothing and thoughtful too. I hope you're doing well and feeling happy most days 😊💕💕💖
Fasting and going low carb(I can’t say I’m Keto though I love the diet) has changed my life. It’s been two years. It helps me eat more intuitively and I only “struggle” during my premenstrual period. I’ll never go back to eating the way I did before.
Same. I wanted to try something for longer than 6 weeks, longer than 6 months, longer than a year or two even. 3+ years in now, I can assess this lifestyle much more thoroughly, having received innumerable benefits. Even my hair has gotten thicker (it had thinned out significantly during the time when I was avoiding both overt fats and red meat).
Hi Jennifer! I’d love to see a video about “What I eat in a week” to give an idea of what kind of meals you make, I’m really curious as I’m experiencing a similar change to you in that I’m transitioning from no meat back to a diet rich in protein.
I agree with you regarding how IF freesvyou from thinking about food (normally bad foods!). I don't tend to get hungry until the 18-20hr mark and then I really look forward to a satisfying, tasty but simple meal. Yet most people who know that I IF think it is restrictive.
I was a strict vegetarian for 3 years and never correlated my mood disorder to lack in nutrients or eating disorder which I’ve struggled with since early teens. I’m doing much better now with intuitive eating and focusing on nutrient dense meals. Thank you for your sharing your experience and doing what you do, love being part of your little community 💓💓
hi! I've noticed that I have a mood disorder which also has also led me to fairly severe depressive episodes. I have always thought this was due to genetics (my aunt having diagnosed depression) and my very distorted self image. Some days ago I took a blood test and found out my levels of folic acid (vitamin b9) score way below the average range of values for my age and sex. Researched online on reputable websites a bit and found out that not only a lack of folic acid has a quantity of negative effects on the human body (i.e. the fetus not being able to properly form in case of pregnancy), but can also be the cause of depression as such deficiency affects negatively the production of neurotransmitters and the general health of the neurological and nervous system. In conclusion, while my at-times precarious mental health is also to be reconnected with genetics, the lack of folic acid surely plays a big part in how I feel. This to say I completely understand you, and to suggest everyone to take blood tests from time to time to have a general overview of what is happening in your body in order to adjust your diets to suit your physiological needs. I wish everyone the best. ✨
Dear Jennifer, just want to say hello and best wishes for 2021! Hope it will be a happy year for you ❤️ I am looking forward to seeing you in a new video whenever you decide to post one. I found you here on YT in 2020. Your videos helped me to accept myself and learn to like myself besides other useful information. Your voice is calming and your way of talking very pleasant. Thank you for making the world a more beautiful place ❤️
I found your channel through your Retinoid videos. But the reason I found your channel was in my mind down to dietary issues wrecking havoc on my skin. I went 'vegan', for around 2+ months. Now, I'm a big bit of a guy. I workout like crazy and I was taking Whey protein every day for like a year with milk, and I was eating a good mixture of food groups. I thought to myself, "hmmm, maybe I should be kinder to my body" thinking that vegan is 'cleaner' and better to my body. Oh boy, I was so wrong, for me that is. I gave up meat, whey, dairy and switched to plant based alternatives. Slowly my skin started breaking out in weird places. Places I never used to get acne. My thighs, some on my chest, and even my neck. I'm positive it triggered something in me called "raynauds" as well due to the stress I was going through. My mental state went to crap, and I was lethargic and always getting dizzy when I stood up. Let's just say my immune system took one hell of a beating. Going from such a varied diet to purely plant based foods messed me up. I'm not saying it can't be done, but only that my body is not made for such a diet. Everyone is different. Just listen to your body, and you will know when things get better.
@Jane Smith I do care for animals. And how dare you assume to know what we feel and think based upon our dietary intake. Even after explaining the physical damage it did to my body, you breezed right past it. You're what I call, "a self hating human". You detest your own species, even if its in pain or has ailments. Animal abuse is horrible. Incidents of it do NOT make it the status quo. You're like the Jehovah Witness of the food chain. You're awarded a framework, its processes and logistics providing you the luxury to be vegan thanks in part to a food sector based upon meat produce. However, I must also stress that as a human being (animal) who went through horrible side effects of allowing guilt to make me avoid all animal products, that I experienced mental and physical trauma, enacted through my failure to realise that our bodies are all different. We require different forms of sustenance based upon climate, economic, and health status. It's a hard sell to children in poverty to go buy a vegan burger. But i'm sure that didn't even cross your mind, eh? My country has some of the highest quality animal welfare standards in the world, and environmental standards, with most of our country being powered by renewable energy. What you spew to others by your own judgmental finger pointing, is what I call "first world problems". Like how you assume others as lacking empathy for animals, and like how I assume you hate humans, unlike myself which is pretty fond of them. I want to see our species succeed, like making sure children around the world have access to a varied diet, INCLUDING MEAT. We all want a more friendly and clean environment. However, we won't have one unless you consider yourself a believer in Eugenics and would like all meat eaters eradicated? Sadly, you probably would which is not a surprise at all.
I have been practicing IF on and off for the last 7 years. Everytime I do, I notice an immediate change in my mental state, my energy level, my hunger,appetite, sugar cravings (which in turn, by not consuming any, brings me even more benefits), and menstrual cycle (I used to faint or call the emergency because the pain was too unbearable). The only thing IF never did to me was regulate my sleep that alas remains problematic. Otherwise, IF is the best thing that happened to me. I even cured 11 tears of eating disorders thanks to it.
Hey Jennifer, I've been sort of taking a peek into your channel every now and then since your last video to see if you've posted anything new, but mostly to check if you're doing okay and simply because I love to rewatch your videos. Glad you're taking a time off but also miss you here. Lots of love and peace.
Is it hard to maintain these eating habits when you’re involved in social events, such as dining out with a friend, having a meal at a family gathering, etc?
Thanks for sharing your experience and view point. So true that if takes some effort to eat right and a lot of self control to not grab the wrong foods and temptation is everywhere in the stores. I don't think most people have the self control to eat right or they don't realize what that junk is doing to their body. Even once a person has a major health issue it's rarely ever blamed on a persons diet. All we can do is lead by example and hope others follow.
I recently subscribed to your channel, I watched every videos you had post even a year ago. I love the way you telling about things, so realistic and so true. Love the way you are and your personality. I started my tretinoin cream months ago and thanks for all your sharing on skin care routines. Also, I just bought my salads and get ready to try the way you make your salad. So much to learn from your videos. Will continue watching
I was vegan for a few years. I got gradually worse and after a few years I got brain fog, extreme adrenal fatigue, exhaustion, sunken eyes due to collagen storages being used up, demineralized see-through teeth and cavities, inflamed gums, inflammation in head/ear area. My cognitive health declined with the brain fog and it was more difficult for me to express myself, low blood pressure, feeling cold all the time, pale yellowish greyish skin tone. I listened to similar experiences from exvegans who got better once they started to consume animal foods again. Now I eat a lot of meat, raw milk, raw eggs and I got better, I can finally think clearly without brain fog, I have finally the strength again to do things in my life which I missed so much for the last years. This week was the first time in a long time that I was able to stand up from bed without feeling like fainting and I even had energy in the morning. My face also slowly gets fuller again and more youthful. Before it was emaciated thin, with visible lack of collagen. Everyone has different vitamin stores and a different health background, thatswhy some people hold out on veganism a few years less or more. We need fat soluble vitamins from animal foods for our bodies and especially for our brains. I encourage everyone to listen to both sides of the story, that means to ex vegans as well and listen to what they have to say, to their health problems while being on veganism. Don't wait until your health falls apart. I'm still recovering from veganism.
I guess your blood type is 0 Rh.That’s why you have to eat meat. Only blood type A can be vegetarian.For the rest it’s very unhealthy especially for blood types 0
@@riri11- Really? I was vegan for 2 years and one day i just wanted to eat meat, but i was feeling really good, for me it didnt bring any problem. I am Orh
@@mayrac9896 yes for sure.I have many many friends who were vegetarians for 4 years or longer and after a lot of them got serious health issues.Everybody has different needs. Blood type A should not eat meat very often.When they stop to eat meat they become immediately healthy. But blood type 0 becomes sick if they don’t eat meat.I know it from myself too.I am 0rh . Meat is necessary for our bodies. This is old ancient medicine rule. I recommend everyone the blood type diet.It’s the best
@@lovely7983 Sadly it irritates me how many of them call themselves vegan when they never had the remotest interest or compassion for the animals or their suffering.I know I sound harsh, but why can't they just call them selves plant based, and stop linking veganism to their poor diets.
I got diagnosed with chronic gastritis over quarantine and intermittent fasting with a well balanced diet full of healthy fats was all it took to get rid of my symptoms and manage it. I don't know if I am cured but I am certainly living with it without it giving me any problems.
Hi, Jenn! Miss you, your calmness and your videos. I've been on Tretinoin for 7 months now and my skin has never been better. I fast 20 - 24 hours each day now as well. Hope you're well.
I I am glad you look so well now 🤗 I always have the same thoughts when I watch a video from you: we are so similar 😁😁 I didn’t eat meat for 10 years and had similar problems with my body. I started eating fattier meat, organs and fish 3 years ago. I also do intermittent fasting and my health and energy increase dramatically. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! ❤️❤️
Hi I'm also planning to start eating fattier meats & organs. Which parts specifically would you recommend? Currently my meat consumption is just chicken breasts and salmon fillets haha I've been eating like this for 4 years now. Thinking of making some changes to improve my skin. Maybe beef liver? Not sure kinda lost.
@@gabriellanoelle1606 hello! I will highly recommend to star reading or watching videos of Rhonda Patrick, she is one of the most knowledgeable people that have so much information about longevity and human wellness. Liver is definitely one if not the most healthy food that we ca eat...I was struggling with my levels of iron and liver saved my life. But definitely read and educate your self regarding organs as I believe they are powerful food that do so much for ourselves 🤗🤗
Hi Jennifer, how are you? I’ve just made goguma using your recipe and it’s a whole new level. Thank you for sharing! I also realized that the quality of my life changed since I discovered your channel - the quality of food, sleep, skincare. I wished there were more genuine channels like yours on YT. I hope you are coming back soon 🥰 Can you please make a video about how you treated your psoriasis? Thank you so much 😊
I just started following you but I saw your covid-19 recovery and to see your recent video brings me so much happiness that you are doing well❤ I want to learn how do fasting because I have an underactive thyroid issue and I gained weight
After trying so many diets over the years, I found OMAD, a form of Intermittent Fasting, to work best for me. The first three days or so are uncomfortable, but after that, it was smooth sailing. The smaller meals throughout the day thing didn't work for me. I always gotta have at least one big meal a day. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel satisfied. I also tried Intermittent Fasting with an eight-hour window to eat but I found myself bingeing throughout the duration. From time to time, I eat two meals in a day. I consider them my cheat days.
Thank you for your generosity in always sharing your experiences! I am so inspired by you. Just a question: what do you do when you’re on vacation/ eating out with friends/ in a situation where you can’t make your own food? Thanks again for everything you do. You’re the authenticity that UA-cam needs. ❤️❤️
I love the Keto diet. I lost all the weight (30 lbs) and maintained a size 4 for three years now. I didn’t count macros or weight out food portions. I just replaced carbohydrates/sugar with veggies and fruit and nuts.
I just found your channel and I think like you..first your skin care is exactly the same as mine for like 10 years.. and I’m a firm believer of being grateful..for being happy...and I always tell my kids that happiness is a self decision....and I am in Keto, and intermittent fasting, so...am starting Castor oil for my eye lashes... from your videos I watched today, is the only advice I don’t already do
100% agreed! I ve been doing keto and IF daily since 2018. I would appreciate you share how much protein intake you take in on daily average. I followed dr. Berg too, but found his protein suggestion was very low, that I had been having problems resembling hypothyroidism. I recently increased my protein, and boys, i see positive changes within a month, incredible!
I don't keep track of my macros. If I am hungrier, then I'll add more protein or fat (often both, in the form of eggs or sockeye salmon for example)...protein from animal foods, and specifically omegas from animals (again like sardines, oysters, cod liver)...these types of foods are what my body responds to so well.
I got back to your channel after a long while to find you inactive :( I hope you’ll be back soon, I’m definitely subscribing and not losing your channel again!
I recently found your channel, and am watching many of your videos. They are all very helpful, Thank you! I hope you are well and am looking forward to your new video.
I really like the piece of jewelry you are wearing in this video. It goes well with your light skin, dark hair and the clothes you are wearing. You have good taste.
I am a pescetarian. I feel much better being pescetarian than vegetarian. Im a nurse. All of my lab values including thyroid levels and iron have gotten better since i stopped eating meat and only eat fish as my main source of protein
Hi Jennifer. It has been 5 months since you last uploaded a video. We are wondering how are you now and what’s up with life. Please update us so we know you’re ok. I pray that God is with you and is protecting you always.
Also If you have any experience with teeth whitening can you talk about it please? Your teeth look very good to the eye if that makes sense, like it's not that white-blue fake color.
I think a lot of people on a vegan diet do end up with health issues. Myself I have began eating again properly. You look amazing btw. So glad you decided to come on youtube.
I was never vegan, but I avoided meat entirely. I also avoided overt fats, all oils...I was avoidant of many foods. I even used to toss yolks of eggs. This was before I learned about the value of these foods and how they benefit the body.
I focus on getting good quality sleep (at least 6 hrs but I aim for 8). I take care of my skin morning and night and have done since I was a preteen, and I protect my skin with SPF daily (this is HUGE). Beyond that, I don't have children, which is an enormous stress...I don't eat sugar (this is also huge as sugar causes wrinkles and saggy skin in general)...all of these things. Also, I am a reserved person (just my personality) so I don't tend to be expressive with my face. That also helps. You can look into fasting and the effect on the skin, though. Fasting impacts the skin tremendously.
Great video, I was vegan for many years and was always fainting and in/out of the GP for vitamin injections and chronic anemia. I am now doing Keto and love Dr Berg's channel/books. I take about a zillion capsules/powders/health foods daily and do either the 20:4 fast or once daily. I gave myself a buzzcut a few weeks ago and my hair is already getting super thick and wild. Like you i also do castor oil and also Pyunkangyul toner with Sukin gel moisturizer and intermittent Retin-A & dermarolling. I'm 38 and have no wrinkles so it really works. Totally erased my crows feet and fine lines. Great diet, regular exercise (stairs/walking/yoga) and de-stressing makes a HUGE cumulative difference over time. You are spot on, takes a lot of committment and dedication but really worth it. Your skin/hair looks beautiful. You remind me so much of Audrey Coyne also, except a bit more deadpan lol (another UA-camr btw).
@@JenniferMyers Thanks bella, my bf is in two minds about it but I love it anyway lol. Wish I was as pretty as you, you are just breathtaking. Woman-crush for sure!
Hi Jennifer, I am so glad I found your channel. Again, thank you for this video. I follow a very similar way of eating. I intermittent fast daily because my body does great with it. I eat very nutrient dense foods, mostly animal-based, and I incorporate only unrefined carbs in salads. I eat to gain muscle mass and change/improve body composition. I recommend you look up Dr. Gabrielle Lyon. She is very muscle-centric, and she would say, muscle is the organ of longevity. I workout every 4 days of the week, and when I go to the gym I lift heavy, what is now being recognized as the way to burn fat and to keep the muscle. I workout on a fasted state and I do great on it. Every other week, in addition to my regular intermittent fasting, I do a longer fast of 42 to 48 hours, not only for the benefits of autophagy, but also for detox, rebuilding, recycling what can be recycled, and for general healing process.
It's funny how we've been through similar processes. I've tried to be kind of vegetarian a long time ago, since it makes me feel bad to eat other animals, but unfortunately animal protein is a "necessary evil" to me since my health and well being worsen without it. I also tried to be ketogenic but unfortunately less carbs make me lose weight, and I'm already slim and didn't like that effect, if only I went to the gym to try go gain muscles but I don't have patience for that, instead I do yoga which I like most. I also have been doing intermittent fasting for I guess more than a decade now, I began when people (and doctors) still considered bad or dangerous not to eat 6 times a day, and I do exactly like you, 16-18h and then break the fast when I'm feeling hungry and eat as much as I like without worrying about calories, etc. As you said, as soon as we get used to it that's very freeing not having to worry about food anymore. Once in a blue moon I try 24-36h fasting to have other benefits, but again although I feel great, it makes me lose weight. By the way, because of you I've beeing implementing beef liver in my diet, which I never liked the taste, but am trying to get used to it because of its benefits. I would love if you talked about the effects you felt since consuming it, I believe its high content of pre-formed vitamin A and copper makes it one of the best foods for skin and hair. I'm the same age as yours but I am already getting lots of gray hairs on my head and beard, and many people say that copper helps with it (along with skin firmness), I hope to see some improvements and maybe have a little of your glow. :) Sorry for having written too much.
Beef liver, to my palate, tastes of iron and copper (very mineral-y lol). It is an acquired taste, in my opinion, but the myriad benefits make it a necessity in my diet. I am going to eat beef liver for the rest of my life. It’s been a game changer for my body and skin.

No Jane, I think you are getting it wrong, nowhere in my comment suggested that 🙄
I love how your face is very relaxed. I think thats a big reason why you have no wrinkles and perfect skin!
I agree. I think raising my eyebrows and squinting so much has caused premature wrinkles on my forehead.
It's also important to be free and not worry about wrinkles too much. Fasting and carnivore are more important, in my opinion. well, not quite zero carb for everyone. And wearing sunscreen. I'm in no way stiff and my sister aways asks me, what skincare are you using, please tell me.. she takes her phone out to take notes and I tell her, it's Fasting and a very nutrient dense way of eating.

It’s so calming listening to you! I am also fasting and moving from keto to carnivore. I can’t tell you how much better I feel.
Wonderful!
So happy you've freed yourself from a nutrient-poor diet! I've been eating a lot of organ meats and seafood, and it's really supercharged my vitality.
The inclusion of these foods has been life changing. It’s unbelievable the difference that diet makes in every aspect of health.
@@JenniferMyers Yes!
Sending love from Slovenia!
I will watch this video everytime I will feel weak and start giving up on my way to better lifestyle and nutrition, you are very inspirational to me.
You got this.
@Jane Smith most vegetarins/vegans I know or see on youtube eat "ecological" options that were transportent thousands of kilometers from one country or continent to another...where I live avocados, tomatoes, fruits etc does not grown all year around and need to be transportated which puts much more ecologic weight on earth as locally rised and slauthered meat.
also there are much more to do in this perspective:buy less, consume less. I personally do not buy fast fashion and do not buy unnecessary stuff in general, i am a minimalist, I do not but new i phone or macbook every year, I do not use a car, i use public transport, i buy high qualitty things that hold very long and do not need to be replaced, i try to buy stuff in bigger degradable package, I buy grrren electricity for my houlhold(where I love you can choose) etc.....in comparison with just eatting localy grown meat is much much more important....people are way too emotional about vegetyarian diat.
@Jane Smith and for the last, good for you if you can feel great on plant based diet, I was vegetarian for years and felt and looked quite bad and eating beef-greens diet literraly saved me, my mental health, my bodily health, my skin, my everything. It just what MY body needs.
Hi Jennifer, I just found your channel and I'm so very glad I did. I'm really lost but mean to my body and have been for many years. I'm really glad and grateful I can look to you and your videos to learn how to love myself, take care of and be gentle/r to myself, and just for all around wellness. I find your videos very soothing and thoughtful too. I hope you're doing well and feeling happy most days 😊💕💕💖
Fasting and going low carb(I can’t say I’m Keto though I love the diet) has changed my life. It’s been two years. It helps me eat more intuitively and I only “struggle” during my premenstrual period. I’ll never go back to eating the way I did before.
Same. I wanted to try something for longer than 6 weeks, longer than 6 months, longer than a year or two even. 3+ years in now, I can assess this lifestyle much more thoroughly, having received innumerable benefits. Even my hair has gotten thicker (it had thinned out significantly during the time when I was avoiding both overt fats and red meat).
@@JenniferMyers do you ever miss fruits ?
You look phenomenal whatever you’re doing it’s working
FR she is hotter than some early 20s girls I know
Jane Smith I encourage you to stop trying to indoctrinate people into your veganism cult in random comment sections.
You look so beautiful and glowing!
Oh thank you!
We miss you!! Hope you are well and happy and maybe back on YT soon🥺💞💞
Dearest Jenny you are the only pure women who is telling the truth about your regime.
Ever since eating keto my gut has changed for the better! I struggled with digestive issues for 10 years and I didn't know I can feel this normal
Same here - keto for 2 years now and apart from occasional constipation, none of the chronic pain, gas, rumbling...
Hi Jennifer! I’d love to see a video about “What I eat in a week” to give an idea of what kind of meals you make, I’m really curious as I’m experiencing a similar change to you in that I’m transitioning from no meat back to a diet rich in protein.
I agree with you regarding how IF freesvyou from thinking about food (normally bad foods!). I don't tend to get hungry until the 18-20hr mark and then I really look forward to a satisfying, tasty but simple meal. Yet most people who know that I IF think it is restrictive.
It is restrictive but not in a detrimental way, in my opinion; rather the opposite in fact!
@@JenniferMyers Do you fast every single day?
I was a strict vegetarian for 3 years and never correlated my mood disorder to lack in nutrients or eating disorder which I’ve struggled with since early teens. I’m doing much better now with intuitive eating and focusing on nutrient dense meals. Thank you for your sharing your experience and doing what you do, love being part of your little community 💓💓
hi! I've noticed that I have a mood disorder which also has also led me to fairly severe depressive episodes. I have always thought this was due to genetics (my aunt having diagnosed depression) and my very distorted self image.
Some days ago I took a blood test and found out my levels of folic acid (vitamin b9) score way below the average range of values for my age and sex.
Researched online on reputable websites a bit and found out that not only a lack of folic acid has a quantity of negative effects on the human body (i.e. the fetus not being able to properly form in case of pregnancy), but can also be the cause of depression as such deficiency affects negatively the production of neurotransmitters and the general health of the neurological and nervous system.
In conclusion, while my at-times precarious mental health is also to be reconnected with genetics, the lack of folic acid surely plays a big part in how I feel.
This to say I completely understand you, and to suggest everyone to take blood tests from time to time to have a general overview of what is happening in your body in order to adjust your diets to suit your physiological needs. I wish everyone the best. ✨
Jane Smith Jane, please shut up
Dear Jennifer, just want to say hello and best wishes for 2021! Hope it will be a happy year for you ❤️ I am looking forward to seeing you in a new video whenever you decide to post one. I found you here on YT in 2020. Your videos helped me to accept myself and learn to like myself besides other useful information. Your voice is calming and your way of talking very pleasant. Thank you for making the world a more beautiful place ❤️
I hope she's doing okay.
Maimoona Saleem Yes, I hope so too
We miss you!
Hope you are okay and in good health Jennifer. Missing your videos and your knowledgeable insights xx
I love your videos especially your voice. Very asmr-esque. 😊
😊 thank you
You are so knowledgeable and genuine. Jennifer you truly are an inspiration and beautiful in and out. Love from Armenia 🤍
I found your channel through your Retinoid videos. But the reason I found your channel was in my mind down to dietary issues wrecking havoc on my skin. I went 'vegan', for around 2+ months. Now, I'm a big bit of a guy. I workout like crazy and I was taking Whey protein every day for like a year with milk, and I was eating a good mixture of food groups. I thought to myself, "hmmm, maybe I should be kinder to my body" thinking that vegan is 'cleaner' and better to my body. Oh boy, I was so wrong, for me that is. I gave up meat, whey, dairy and switched to plant based alternatives.
Slowly my skin started breaking out in weird places. Places I never used to get acne. My thighs, some on my chest, and even my neck. I'm positive it triggered something in me called "raynauds" as well due to the stress I was going through. My mental state went to crap, and I was lethargic and always getting dizzy when I stood up. Let's just say my immune system took one hell of a beating. Going from such a varied diet to purely plant based foods messed me up. I'm not saying it can't be done, but only that my body is not made for such a diet. Everyone is different. Just listen to your body, and you will know when things get better.
GamingTutor keep those hands and feet nice and toasty ❤️😊
@Jane Smith I do care for animals. And how dare you assume to know what we feel and think based upon our dietary intake. Even after explaining the physical damage it did to my body, you breezed right past it. You're what I call, "a self hating human". You detest your own species, even if its in pain or has ailments. Animal abuse is horrible. Incidents of it do NOT make it the status quo. You're like the Jehovah Witness of the food chain. You're awarded a framework, its processes and logistics providing you the luxury to be vegan thanks in part to a food sector based upon meat produce. However, I must also stress that as a human being (animal) who went through horrible side effects of allowing guilt to make me avoid all animal products, that I experienced mental and physical trauma, enacted through my failure to realise that our bodies are all different. We require different forms of sustenance based upon climate, economic, and health status. It's a hard sell to children in poverty to go buy a vegan burger. But i'm sure that didn't even cross your mind, eh?
My country has some of the highest quality animal welfare standards in the world, and environmental standards, with most of our country being powered by renewable energy.
What you spew to others by your own judgmental finger pointing, is what I call "first world problems". Like how you assume others as lacking empathy for animals, and like how I assume you hate humans, unlike myself which is pretty fond of them. I want to see our species succeed, like making sure children around the world have access to a varied diet, INCLUDING MEAT. We all want a more friendly and clean environment. However, we won't have one unless you consider yourself a believer in Eugenics and would like all meat eaters eradicated? Sadly, you probably would which is not a surprise at all.
@@gamingtutor4575 that person also copied their reply to every comment about eating meat. Can you believe it ?!
Leena M I can, actually. These people are borderline insane. No surprise, to be honest, lol.
I support all your decisions, I believe we are omnivores and that is the most natural thing to do
I hope and pray you're doing okay? Miss seeing your face here, sending love ❤️
I have been practicing IF on and off for the last 7 years. Everytime I do, I notice an immediate change in my mental state, my energy level, my hunger,appetite, sugar cravings (which in turn, by not consuming any, brings me even more benefits), and menstrual cycle (I used to faint or call the emergency because the pain was too unbearable). The only thing IF never did to me was regulate my sleep that alas remains problematic. Otherwise, IF is the best thing that happened to me. I even cured 11 tears of eating disorders thanks to it.
Hey Jennifer, I've been sort of taking a peek into your channel every now and then since your last video to see if you've posted anything new, but mostly to check if you're doing okay and simply because I love to rewatch your videos. Glad you're taking a time off but also miss you here. Lots of love and peace.
Is it hard to maintain these eating habits when you’re involved in social events, such as dining out with a friend, having a meal at a family gathering, etc?
Wearing jade is very good for health because it emits far infrared radiation. I fully agree with your methodology for self-care 👏🏻
Thanks for sharing your experience and view point. So true that if takes some effort to eat right and a lot of self control to not grab the wrong foods and temptation is everywhere in the stores. I don't think most people have the self control to eat right or they don't realize what that junk is doing to their body. Even once a person has a major health issue it's rarely ever blamed on a persons diet. All we can do is lead by example and hope others follow.
Dear everything you share its really informative
Thank you so much 🙂
I recently subscribed to your channel, I watched every videos you had post even a year ago. I love the way you telling about things, so realistic and so true. Love the way you are and your personality. I started my tretinoin cream months ago and thanks for all your sharing on skin care routines. Also, I just bought my salads and get ready to try the way you make your salad. So much to learn from your videos. Will continue watching
I was vegan for a few years. I got gradually worse and after a few years I got brain fog, extreme adrenal fatigue, exhaustion, sunken eyes due to collagen storages being used up, demineralized see-through teeth and cavities, inflamed gums, inflammation in head/ear area. My cognitive health declined with the brain fog and it was more difficult for me to express myself, low blood pressure, feeling cold all the time, pale yellowish greyish skin tone. I listened to similar experiences from exvegans who got better once they started to consume animal foods again. Now I eat a lot of meat, raw milk, raw eggs and I got better, I can finally think clearly without brain fog, I have finally the strength again to do things in my life which I missed so much for the last years. This week was the first time in a long time that I was able to stand up from bed without feeling like fainting and I even had energy in the morning. My face also slowly gets fuller again and more youthful. Before it was emaciated thin, with visible lack of collagen. Everyone has different vitamin stores and a different health background, thatswhy some people hold out on veganism a few years less or more. We need fat soluble vitamins from animal foods for our bodies and especially for our brains. I encourage everyone to listen to both sides of the story, that means to ex vegans as well and listen to what they have to say, to their health problems while being on veganism. Don't wait until your health falls apart. I'm still recovering from veganism.
I guess your blood type is 0 Rh.That’s why you have to eat meat.
Only blood type A can be vegetarian.For the rest it’s very unhealthy especially for blood types 0
@@riri11- Really? I was vegan for 2 years and one day i just wanted to eat meat, but i was feeling really good, for me it didnt bring any problem. I am Orh
@@mayrac9896 yes for sure.I have many many friends who were vegetarians for 4 years or longer and after a lot of them got serious health issues.Everybody has different needs.
Blood type A should not eat meat very often.When they stop to eat meat they become immediately healthy.
But blood type 0 becomes sick if they don’t eat meat.I know it from myself too.I am 0rh .
Meat is necessary for our bodies.
This is old ancient medicine rule.
I recommend everyone the blood type diet.It’s the best
@@lovely7983 Sadly it irritates me how many of them call themselves vegan when they never had the remotest interest or compassion for the animals or their suffering.I know I sound harsh, but why can't they just call them selves plant based, and stop linking veganism to their poor diets.
@@lovely7983 No Thank you, for being dedicated to the animals...

Same. Life changing!!
I got diagnosed with chronic gastritis over quarantine and intermittent fasting with a well balanced diet full of healthy fats was all it took to get rid of my symptoms and manage it. I don't know if I am cured but I am certainly living with it without it giving me any problems.

I didn’t eat meat for 10 years and had similar problems with my body. I started eating fattier meat, organs and fish 3 years ago. I also do intermittent fasting and my health and energy increase dramatically.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! ❤️❤️
Hi I'm also planning to start eating fattier meats & organs. Which parts specifically would you recommend? Currently my meat consumption is just chicken breasts and salmon fillets haha I've been eating like this for 4 years now. Thinking of making some changes to improve my skin. Maybe beef liver? Not sure kinda lost.
@@gabriellanoelle1606 hello!
I will highly recommend to star reading or watching videos of Rhonda Patrick, she is one of the most knowledgeable people that have so much information about longevity and human wellness.
Liver is definitely one if not the most healthy food that we ca eat...I was struggling with my levels of iron and liver saved my life.
But definitely read and educate your self regarding organs as I believe they are powerful food that do so much for ourselves 🤗🤗

Hi Jennifer, how are you? I’ve just made goguma using your recipe and it’s a whole new level. Thank you for sharing! I also realized that the quality of my life changed since I discovered your channel - the quality of food, sleep, skincare. I wished there were more genuine channels like yours on YT. I hope you are coming back soon 🥰 Can you please make a video about how you treated your psoriasis? Thank you so much 😊
I just started following you but I saw your covid-19 recovery and to see your recent video brings me so much happiness that you are doing well❤ I want to learn how do fasting because I have an underactive thyroid issue and I gained weight
After trying so many diets over the years, I found OMAD, a form of Intermittent Fasting, to work best for me. The first three days or so are uncomfortable, but after that, it was smooth sailing. The smaller meals throughout the day thing didn't work for me. I always gotta have at least one big meal a day. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel satisfied. I also tried Intermittent Fasting with an eight-hour window to eat but I found myself bingeing throughout the duration. From time to time, I eat two meals in a day. I consider them my cheat days.
Thank you for your generosity in always sharing your experiences! I am so inspired by you. Just a question: what do you do when you’re on vacation/ eating out with friends/ in a situation where you can’t make your own food? Thanks again for everything you do. You’re the authenticity that UA-cam needs. ❤️❤️
I love the Keto diet. I lost all the weight (30 lbs) and maintained a size 4 for three years now. I didn’t count macros or weight out food portions. I just replaced carbohydrates/sugar with veggies and fruit and nuts.
Hi. Hope you're OK. Been a while since your last vid. Hope all is well.
I think she is just taking a break from UA-cam.
I just found your channel and I think like you..first your skin care is exactly the same as mine for like 10 years.. and I’m a firm believer of being grateful..for being happy...and I always tell my kids that happiness is a self decision....and I am in Keto, and intermittent fasting, so...am starting Castor oil for my eye lashes... from your videos I watched today, is the only advice I don’t already do
Wow you're so healthy. Thanks for inspiring me..
Hi Jennifer! I hope you’re doing well 🤍 God bless you 🙏
I just subscribed and have been loving your videos. Can't wait for the next one.
100% agreed! I ve been doing keto and IF daily since 2018. I would appreciate you share how much protein intake you take in on daily average. I followed dr. Berg too, but found his protein suggestion was very low, that I had been having problems resembling hypothyroidism. I recently increased my protein, and boys, i see positive changes within a month, incredible!
I don't keep track of my macros. If I am hungrier, then I'll add more protein or fat (often both, in the form of eggs or sockeye salmon for example)...protein from animal foods, and specifically omegas from animals (again like sardines, oysters, cod liver)...these types of foods are what my body responds to so well.
I got back to your channel after a long while to find you inactive :( I hope you’ll be back soon, I’m definitely subscribing and not losing your channel again!
I am super glad that I found you..from India 😊😉💙
I recently found your channel, and am watching many of your videos. They are all very helpful, Thank you! I hope you are well and am looking forward to your new video.
You are so intuitive and wise. I love your necklace. Thank you for sharing! 🌹
Their is so much to learn in all of your videos I have seen "waiting for more" hope you will come back soon
I really like the piece of jewelry you are wearing in this video. It goes well with your light skin, dark hair and the clothes you are wearing. You have good taste.
I am a pescetarian. I feel much better being pescetarian than vegetarian. Im a nurse. All of my lab values including thyroid levels and iron have gotten better since i stopped eating meat and only eat fish as my main source of protein
check mercury level

I think a lot of people on a vegan diet do end up with health issues. Myself I have began eating again properly. You look amazing btw. So glad you decided to come on youtube.
I was never vegan, but I avoided meat entirely. I also avoided overt fats, all oils...I was avoidant of many foods. I even used to toss yolks of eggs. This was before I learned about the value of these foods and how they benefit the body.
Jennifer , I have become your fan!
could you please do a video on how you keep your skin so wrinkle free and lines free..
She did. Look in her videos on skincare. She talks about keeping her skin young with tretinoin.
I focus on getting good quality sleep (at least 6 hrs but I aim for 8). I take care of my skin morning and night and have done since I was a preteen, and I protect my skin with SPF daily (this is HUGE). Beyond that, I don't have children, which is an enormous stress...I don't eat sugar (this is also huge as sugar causes wrinkles and saggy skin in general)...all of these things. Also, I am a reserved person (just my personality) so I don't tend to be expressive with my face. That also helps. You can look into fasting and the effect on the skin, though. Fasting impacts the skin tremendously.

Great video, I was vegan for many years and was always fainting and in/out of the GP for vitamin injections and chronic anemia. I am now doing Keto and love Dr Berg's channel/books. I take about a zillion capsules/powders/health foods daily and do either the 20:4 fast or once daily. I gave myself a buzzcut a few weeks ago and my hair is already getting super thick and wild. Like you i also do castor oil and also Pyunkangyul toner with Sukin gel moisturizer and intermittent Retin-A & dermarolling. I'm 38 and have no wrinkles so it really works. Totally erased my crows feet and fine lines. Great diet, regular exercise (stairs/walking/yoga) and de-stressing makes a HUGE cumulative difference over time. You are spot on, takes a lot of committment and dedication but really worth it. Your skin/hair looks beautiful. You remind me so much of Audrey Coyne also, except a bit more deadpan lol (another UA-camr btw).
Buzzcut sounds awesome...
@@JenniferMyers Its so fun, like a silky hedgehog haha 🦔🦔🦔
Wow!!! I can almost feel it from your description! You undoubtedly look amazing.
@@JenniferMyers Thanks bella, my bf is in two minds about it but I love it anyway lol. Wish I was as pretty as you, you are just breathtaking. Woman-crush for sure!
Hi Jennifer, I am so glad I found your channel. Again, thank you for this video.
I follow a very similar way of eating. I intermittent fast daily because my body does great with it. I eat very nutrient dense foods, mostly animal-based, and I incorporate only unrefined carbs in salads. I eat to gain muscle mass and change/improve body composition. I recommend you look up Dr. Gabrielle Lyon. She is very muscle-centric, and she would say, muscle is the organ of longevity.
I workout every 4 days of the week, and when I go to the gym I lift heavy, what is now being recognized as the way to burn fat and to keep the muscle. I workout on a fasted state and I do great on it.
Every other week, in addition to my regular intermittent fasting, I do a longer fast of 42 to 48 hours, not only for the benefits of autophagy, but also for detox, rebuilding, recycling what can be recycled, and for general healing process.
I miss you!
It's funny how we've been through similar processes. I've tried to be kind of vegetarian a long time ago, since it makes me feel bad to eat other animals, but unfortunately animal protein is a "necessary evil" to me since my health and well being worsen without it. I also tried to be ketogenic but unfortunately less carbs make me lose weight, and I'm already slim and didn't like that effect, if only I went to the gym to try go gain muscles but I don't have patience for that, instead I do yoga which I like most. I also have been doing intermittent fasting for I guess more than a decade now, I began when people (and doctors) still considered bad or dangerous not to eat 6 times a day, and I do exactly like you, 16-18h and then break the fast when I'm feeling hungry and eat as much as I like without worrying about calories, etc. As you said, as soon as we get used to it that's very freeing not having to worry about food anymore. Once in a blue moon I try 24-36h fasting to have other benefits, but again although I feel great, it makes me lose weight. By the way, because of you I've beeing implementing beef liver in my diet, which I never liked the taste, but am trying to get used to it because of its benefits. I would love if you talked about the effects you felt since consuming it, I believe its high content of pre-formed vitamin A and copper makes it one of the best foods for skin and hair. I'm the same age as yours but I am already getting lots of gray hairs on my head and beard, and many people say that copper helps with it (along with skin firmness), I hope to see some improvements and maybe have a little of your glow. :) Sorry for having written too much.
How does the liver taste? I think the image of it makes me scared 😂
@@cocodakilla, the taste is not so bad, but the texture and especially the smell are a bit strange.
Beef liver, to my palate, tastes of iron and copper (very mineral-y lol). It is an acquired taste, in my opinion, but the myriad benefits make it a necessity in my diet. I am going to eat beef liver for the rest of my life. It’s been a game changer for my body and skin.
Omg I love you. My story is identical to yours. Now I eat once a day, fully feast, focus on nutrient dense foods. Life changer
You look great girl!
Hope you're doing good. Take care.
I am doing so well, thank you. I hope you're also doing well
Happy to know you're keeping well. I'm doing great too. Love your channel!! Hope to see you back again soon.
