@jenniferMyers I have started using tretinion after watching your video it’s been two years now and skin is amazing,now it’s my time for family planning so i wanted to know how many months before should i stop using tretinion before baby planning pls reply no one’s replying me😢

[@awayandspin]

*Answer from Google* Based on this suggestion for isotretinoin, it may be suggested to stop using tretinoin one month before trying to get pregnant. However, if you get pregnant by mistake during that month, the chances your use of tretinoin has harmed your baby are likely to be small.

[@meenal26ify]

Hi Jennifer! Do you have children? I'm asking because retinol should not be used during pregnancy. So what can be the alternative for that?

[@bernadette7313]

In terms of habits for well aging that I try to keep to 1. Cook at home and eat mainly whole foods - this is also good for saving! 2. Keep to a skin care routine with sunscreen - recently started tretinoin 3. Daily walks outside 4. Sleep at a regular time and enough hours 5. Pray for those in my life, for myself - grateful for the things I’ve been granted, the challenges I have learned from, the wisdom I have gained to discern where to act and where to observe 6. Spend time and express love with those I cherish May I request a video of your stretching routine? I would like to incorporate a habit of stretching so I remain mobile and limber 😊 Thank you!

My philosophy for healthy living is to live a life of divine plan. The length of my life isn't a concern; rather, the intent is on fulfilling my heart with what I set out to learn, accomplish, experience, and leave as a legacy of service, in hopes that it will propel those who seek to do the same seven generations onward.

Hello, I’m a 26 year old who finds so much comfort in your content. I have grown so much mentally in the past year and I want to say your advice and outlook has helped. I find myself being stuck in societies point of view and unfortunately found myself partaking in “party culture.” Which included neglecting my mental and physical health. I’ve taken your advice and tried to heal myself mentally and physically. I can confidently say I have grown as a woman and feel amazing. So thank you, all the way from South Carolina! ❤

[@amandazplace5663]

I'm with you, Jennifer. I've found, as I age (I'm 55), I have no time or energy for negative emotions. I try to get rid of them right away. I'd rather be misunderstood than argue. I'd rather leave things "unfair" in a situation than ensure I get my fair share of whatever I think I'm losing out on. Because, in the big picture, we never say on our deathbed, "I should have gotten more respect, more money, more power, more, more, more." I want people to say, "wow! She was humble, compassionate, patient, selfless." ♥️🇨🇦

Build muscle mass! Loss of muscle mass is one of the most detrimental side effects of aging. Make it a habit now and you will have higher quality of life as you age.

[@JenniferMyers]

That's great news!! Keep it up and always protect your skin; most important part!

[@okay847]

I am 20 years old and for some reason I really like creating a lifestyle which will help me live my old days happily and healthily. I've been maintaining a good food habit and going to the gym and adopting a skincare. While some of my friends judge me for choosing to not eat unhealthy food first thing in the morning, I really don't mind what they think because this is who I am and I choose what I put in my body. I may be boring to them but I'm the most satisfied that way. But I do let go if it sometimes because I like making memories with my precious friends that I wont see after a few years. I am just balancing out my young life and the possible decisions I can take to help me start working towards a healthy aging. You really inspire me Jennifer. Thanks.

[@aliciavilas5411]

I love reading about the blue zones, and reflecting on the patterns they noticed with the centenarians. I think purpose is important. We must understand what our purpose is in life, especially after retirement. Movement and social interactions are very important as well.

[@rebeccaegly6318]

Thank you for your video ! a little thought on the mouth breathers : sometimes a medical consultation can be good, because for some people it is the jaw's anatomy that prevents nose breathing (orthognatic problems, like retrognatism or prognatism).

[@Moon-xtn6]

Jen , you are a pure human being , I adore u so much ❤ I feel peace by watching you

[@Reniren1]

Hey, Jennifer. Wonderful video, as always. :) I was wondering if you could do a dedicated video on your space (home tour, where we could find similar pieces, and generally speaking, how you went about the setup and decorating)? For context - I'm currently looking for ideas, and I find your space so beautiful and calming. Thanks so much. Have a great rest of the week.

[@SportsStoleMyMan]

My trainer told me last week about grip strength studies. It’s fascinating. I recently started weight training for longevity reasons and other mental/physical health related reasons.

[@Shell.29]

Agreed on nose breathing. My nose is almost always stuffed up (wish I knew why) but I hate the results of mouth breathing. Also if you're tired no matter how much time spent asleep, you may have sleep apnea (no need to be obese).

[@howappaulling]

The breathing part is so important, I've come to realize. I suffer from a pinched nerve, which reduces sensation/weakens my legs. You can't quite well at first glance because I can walk still. But standing for more than 5 minutes exhausts me. The odd thing is, my legs don't really fatigue. They can go for awhile, honestly. It's because my body panics, not knowing where the ground is. So, I unintentionally tighen up, and I'll catch myself not breathing or breathing shallow. I'm working on weightloss and planning for a surgery. All this to say, do practice your breathing/yoga if you can! It actually can tell you so much about weaknesses here and there. Sometimes you got a sleeping glute, an overactive neck, etc. I'd recommend also looking up postural restoration 🙂 there's small connections throughout the body from seemingly 'unconnected' muscle groups/areas (i think one example is pelvic floor and throat).

[@deecee7042]

There is also guidance that you should gain muscle in 20s and 30s while able to, so that joints and everything else is protected later in life, where you can still get around on your own, etc. especially since you start to lose muscle in 40s and 50s and beyond.

[@kimposada]

I haven't watched this video because I'm at my dad's doctor's appointment and I don't want to disturb other patients. Can you show us recipes on what you eat everyday? ❤❤❤

[@JenniferMyers]

I'm afraid I don't really cook by recipes! Rather, I choose the foods that I prefer the taste and nutritive quality of, and I prepare meals simply using those foods with basic seasonings (salt, pepper, ginger, onion & garlic, turmeric, and extra virgin olive oil). I don't consume ultra-processed foods on a regular basis; only on special occasion indulgences. And I limit my caffeine intake to 4-6 ounces per day in the early morning; never after 11AM (because it will inhibit my sleep).

Hi Jennifer, I love your videos and your life philosophy so much!! I have some questions for you which I'd really love to hear your thoughts on: 1. what are your thoughts about microplastics, and plastic waste in general? 2. do you wear barefoot shoes or try to spend as much time barefoot as possible? (edit: oh my goodness I heard in another video that you've been using them since 2011!! that is so awesome :)) lately I have been trying to reduce my plastic waste because 99% of plastic is not recycled. and microplastics have estrogenic properties and are linked with declining fertility rates. also, foot health is very important to me and modern shoes are not the shape of feet, so they squish in the toes. they also weaken the foot muscles with the big pads that prevent us from "grabbing" our environment. there's so much more I could say but I don't want to write an essay in the comments hahah

Your prescribing physician should consult with you accordingly throughout your treatment; any responsible and diligent healthcare professional will do this for their patients. It's my understanding that you must discontinue use at least one month prior to starting to try getting pregnant.

Is aquaphor healing ointment good for comedone prone skin? Help scarring after extractions?

[@JenniferMyers]

Petroleum jelly isn't comedogenic (it doesn't clog pores). In fact it leaves them clear, and it makes the skin surface so smooth, supple...I use petroleum jelly and other petrolatum-based occlusive ointments on my face, on my lips, on my heels; I love it.

[@stargazerbird]

Grip strength is just an easy test for general muscle mass and strength. Nice to be able to open bottles of course but there is nothing special about those exercises. Frailty is associated with mental decline and mortality. You need to work all the muscles. The really important one is the glutes and hamstrings. Squat.

Hi I usually really enjoy your videos but I do have a problem with this one. First of all good for you that your doing a collaboration/product placement with a brand you like. I don’t know if it is scientifically proven that your face shape depends on your breathing. Maybe your breathing habits come from the way your face is shaped. So im not sure that there actually is real evidence for your claims. The thing that really bothers me about this is seeing the illustration of the nose and mouth breathers with stereotypical beauty standards at the top and a face that is not „checking the boxes“ at the bottom. The whole theory is implying that first of all you are responsible for the way your face is shaped. So basically if you’re „unattractive“ or not (your words not mine) wich can be very harmful especially if it isn’t actually true. So I would be very careful with claims like that. Second it reinforces views that had their origin in racist word views like when you talk about the crooked nose („the Jew nose“ is a whole topic for itself). I know that you’re having the best intentions and don’t want do purposely say hurtful or harmful things but I really had to share my thoughts on this one with you. Still hope you’re having a great day. By the way, English is not my first language so I hope I Expressed myself well.
