- What I Eat *Dietary Staples for Health & Vitality...
*Content is for informational and/or entertainment purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical advice or consultation with healthcare professionals.
I am merely sharing some of my dietary staples and favorite foods with the purpose of encouraging you to take responsibility for your own health and make healthier choices. Diet being a personal choice that involves so many variables, this will look different for everyone (what you elect to include and exclude). Always think independently and critically.
I eat many other foods besides those featured. (Notably excluded are sardines, for example, which I have made a dedicated video on in the past & can be found on my channel.) My aim with this video was simply to spotlight my "champion foods" and review their benefits.

Thank youuu! 💟
I really enjoy Jens videos over the years. She doesnt jump on bandwagons, her word is actually worth something and the proof is in the pudding. plus her energy is very calming and nice.
Maybe she could at least say Hi or something tho!
:)
I mean I don’t think ‘hi’ as a greeting deserves to be labeled trendy/corny and to be frank it’s one of the most free things on earth but I got your point and enjoy listening her as well. No hate.
@@esradeger1413ahh but reality, these RUclipsrs aren’t our friends. She wouldn’t say Hi! to you out and about most likely! So she’s probably more real than the others! 😂🤣
My speculation is she’s on the spectrum. Just her personality type.
@justagirl7780 I totally agree!
I can’t believe some people have negative things to say about this beautiful, intelligent and peaceful woman. She is incredible and generously shares so much knowledge with us. Thank you Jen ❤
Hmm, I looked throughout the comments and I couldn’t find anything negative. It seems to me that she’s just getting tons of support and love (as she should). She’s great and it seems like the vast majority of her commenters praise her 😃
I've noticed most of the heath channels or people I see focus on what foods help to loose weight, gain muscle, essentially look good. I love that you focus on health and vitality in a way that isn't superficial. You can look pretty good and still feel like crap. I'm really taking notes and trying to learn how to maintain good health for longevity. Hopefully I'll get on your level someday!
This is a really solid list. My diet includes most of these foods and I can vouch for the benefits of including them in your diet. Some other foods I’ve found considerably bolstered my appearance and vitality include:
-Sea vegetables. My skin always looks plump, pore-less, and glowy the day after consuming a seaweed rich meal. I get it in via soups made with Kombu dashi and salads made with wakame, dulse, arame etc… Consume in moderation as there is a risk of heavy metal toxicity.
-Organic natto
-Brazil nuts
-Frozen organic wild blueberries
-Organic pasture raised whole milk A2 kefir and yogurt from Alexandre farms and Bellwether farms respectively. I’m also fond of Raw farms goat kefir but production has been on hold this past year unfortunately.
-Beets
-Papaya
-Celery
-Radishes
-Greens i.e. watercress, kale, purslane, arugula etc..
-Tinned wild caught fish specifically sardines, cod liver, mackerel, anchovies, and occasionally tuna.
-Very dark chocolate, less sugar is ideal. EVOLVED makes an unsweetened variety stuffed with coconut butter that’s really delicious.
-Anti-inflammatory and glucose regulating herbs, spices, and rhizomes i.e. ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, rosemary, marjoram, mint, nigella seeds, thyme, lemongrass etc…
-Alliums
-Mushrooms. My local Korean market sells fresh maitake, shiitake, beech, and oyster which offer a variety of different benefits. I also occasionally supplement with Reishi tea.
-Sprouts and microgreens. Cheap and easy to grow at home. You can even sprout some of the whole spices, grains, and pulses kicking around your pantry if you don’t want to spend extra money on seeds.
Most importantly though is modulating sugar intake and insulin. You can eat all the right foods but I’ve found nothing precipitates inflammation, fatigue, mood swings, and premature aging quite as effectively as a blood glucose spike. Im not diabetic but learning a to keep my blood glucose stable and reduce excess sugar intake in general has had the most positive impact.
Thanks for sharing these. I thought for sure you'd mention sardines. The alaskan berries we consume have lots of antioxidants, for instance, the low bush cranberries have double the amount compared to pomegranates, and our blueberries have triple the amount compared to store bought blueberries.
I'm so grateful that you're here !
Bone broth is magical. My diet has not been great lately, but I was unwell for a week and drank a lot of bone broth soup with lots of vegetables. My skin looked sooo much more hydrated and glowing.
What about meat? Or just the broth?
Lately I've been growing and consuming broccoli sprouts after a lot of research on sulforaphane and its health benefits. They are very cheap and easy to grow. Love this video. It gets me motivated to add some of these back into my diet. Especially the beef liver.
Wanna meet u
Sulforaphane is a pesticide produced by broccoli to eradicate pests, How could that in any way be good for you? People promoting it are morons.
How do you grow them?
Can't wait to watch this! Always happy to see your videos pop up on my feed
Jennifer you are literally ✨GLOWING✨ in this video
Thank you Jennifer ❤ I hope you post more recepes, they helped me a lot.
Your health journey has honestly been so inspiring for me to eat healthy foods again. God bless!!
You're such a precious gem, Jennifer. Thank you for caring enough to share what you've learned and how it can help benefit us. Highly informative video🧡🍂🍁😊
Thank you so much for making this video. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot as well
I absolutely LOVE your health and wellness videos, Jennifer! I learn so much. Feels like I’m getting advice from a big sister. ❤ Much love to you! Keep doing these please! 😊
OMGOSH, how I appreciate her "to the point" attitude, it is just so helpful and I don't have to wade through "the beauty" advise,,,tytyty, very good information
I really enjoy watching your videos Jennifer❤️For me listening to such authentic health and skin benefits from you feels like a therapy. Really love your videos💖👍
I found your channel because I was desperately seeking help for my terrible psoriasis. I know it’s my gut that needs to be fixed but I struggle so badly with finding foods that are filling and tasty, also affordability is super important as well. You’re salads are delicious! I have used your videos as inspiration to change my diet to be full of nutrient dense foods and not to fall into the traps of specific diets. I want to share that it’s only been a few days and I can tell in a small way that my skin is starting to fix itself. I am noticing that it doesn’t dry out as quickly as it has been over the past few months. Thank you for these videos! Keep it up!
You are literally Glowing Jennifer! Thank you for these tips! 🙏💕✨
Thank you for sharing your wisdom! It’s helped my health journey so much ❤
You are so knowledgable!!
Love your videos, love you - all the best x

I love your videos.. I trust your recommendations😊❤❤
i found this account when i was 24 and started tretinoin, a basic skincare routine, and eating beef liver. I just turned 29 and i’ve yet to find any new sign of aging
29 is so young still!
Thank you for the information ❤️❤️❤️
youre hair looks lux and beautiful. thank you for sharing this health info. take care Jennifer.
This is Gonna b so Helpful JM🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Tuesday😀….
I stumbled across Jen's podcast recently. The podcast was done about 2 years ago as I recall on dealing with psoriasis using a salad with salmon, ginger, scallions, etc. I appreciate her unassuming nature, and (I'm paraphrasing) "What works for me may not work for you.. " attitude.
Interesting list. Personally, I'm an ovo-pescatarian, though I only eat eggs when I go out for breakfast. Definitely will try the oysters. I can attest to green tea. This along with ground flax/chia seeds and blueberries have really been beneficial for me. I tend to use avocado oil when cooking due to the higher smoke point versus extra virgin olive oil, but Jen didn't say she cooked with it, and I'm glad she mentioned it helps nutrient absorption on salads. I think that liver is a bit tricky, though she mentioned using very little. Eggs too can be tricky (see Zoe podcasts). It's the cholesterol, which your body makes anyway; too much=cardiovascular disease. But it could be a two edged sword, maybe benefitting hair/skin amongst other areas, but shortening life/health span for many. A hack on potatoes besides cooling (one of my sin foods is hot boiled potatoes with butter/vegan substitute, salsa, kimchi & sardines) is to either eat some protein/fat before eating it and/or adding some vinegar (not a big fan of cold potatoes); you can also do this hack on oatmeal or anything else that might spike your insulin (fats/proteins). Also, if you can only get one thing organic, highly suggest coffee: it's greatly sprayed and the beneficial compounds are much higher in organic versus non-organic.
Jennifer is an excellent source for those dealing with psoriasis or for people that want radiant hair & beautiful skin. Suggest people also check out Zoe & Nutrition Made Simple for additional nutritional information. Miche is also good. And like Jen would suggest, experimenting to see what works for you.
Thank you. I took notes. :)
@JenniferMyers Thank you for another super informative video. I only discovered your channel recently, and really enjoy your content! With regard to the goods you mention here, I was hoping tou might be able to inform us as to where you source your cod liver from? I've looked all over the internet, and even Amazon doesn’t seem to have it (or at least one that is currently available). Any tips greatly appreciated! 😊🙏
I have watched many of your videos including several skincare videos. Even still, in THIS video, your skin looks perfect….literally. Can you PLEASE share what you are wearing/using on your face in this video?
Where do you get your oysters? Just wondering if you could do a shopping video to show us an updated version of where you get your foods! Thnx ❤
jen! How do you consume oysters? are the canned smoked oysters recommended? wondering how you consume cod liver as well...would love a video on how you consume these foods..love you and your channel!! 😍
Thank you, so helpful! I eat all these foods too (except potatoes). I would add homemade kefir to that list as well. Would love to see how you incorporate them into a what I eat in a day (or week) vid. How do you keep your vitamin D levels in the optimum range? I've been deep diving into the work of Jack Kruse MD, Courtney Hunt MD, Carrie Bennet MS and others who study the value and benefits of sunlight for health and healing. I finally got my vitamin D levels up from 23 to 80 this summer without supplementing and it's had a the most profound affect on my mental health.
Hello Shawn! How did you do this if you don’t mind me asking? I want to get my vitamin D levels higher without supplements
The sun?@@girlyandgodly
You should write a book about lifestyle and beauty. I'll do whatever you say you look amazing! Thank you for your amazing content!
Also please do a video on your hair routine, what products you use, etc. It looks so lustrous and healthy!
I really like when you make videos like this I could sit & listen to you all day😃 I have been doing some serious research about healthy hair skin & anti-aging & everything that your saying is 100% true I've been eating a lot of sardines & beef liver/cod liver & drinking chicken & beef bone broth what I've noticed is my nails are growing like crazy, my skin is becoming more smooth all over my body & what I'm really excited about is my hair is no longer falling out plus my new growth is coming in thicker I've also increased vitamin c rich foods & I'm a big fan of fermented foods I can't wait to see my results in 6 months I'm going to continue eating this way from what I see its working💕💯‼
Any recipes with sardines ?
Jennifer, thanks so much for this! Would you please do a video on how you prepare your beef liver? I'm down to start incorporating it into my diet, but don't know how to cook it and the recipes I found online call for butter and other things that seem to counteract the health aspect of eating liver. Thanks so much in advance!!!!!
thank u for sharing 💗💗
Lovely list! Wondering where sardines are ! You are the one who made me discover them - often pack them for lunch :)
How do you cook your potatoes? Just boiled ? I love them roasted but might not be ideal
Your hair!! It's so healthy and beautiful!
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much, very, educational! 💜
Great video, and you look super young for your age, very motivating results for both skincare and diet changes.
Thank You Jennifer for a great, Informative video. My eyes got big when you mentioned potatoes, Now I'm curious about these exotic varieties. I haven't eaten potatoes in years.I just pulled out my can of oysters which I've been procrastinating on, and will experiment this afternoon after my run with an Oyster Omelet. I noticed when I mix fish/seafood in my eggs, some" fishiness" is neutralized. By the way, I thought Sardines were one of your top Superfoods, maybe I missed it...thats what I guessed as your final one...
Great vid! thanks
So nice to see you , can you do a video on serums please .Thank You 💕🌹
@jennifermyers can you do a “grocery shop with me” vlog? 😁
I would like to see how you make and consume these items! Like beef liver, bone broth, oysters ect. Like how to prepare a meal with these items. I’ll check for videos you might have on this. Love all this
information.
Gracias Jennifer. Muy interesante todo lo que dices. Yo como igual que tu excepto ostras porque donde yo vivo (Tenerife, Islas Canarias, España) son muy caras y el kimchi que aún no lo he probado. En cambio tenemos frutas, verduras y aceite de oliva asequible. Un saludo afectuoso
Jennifer thank you so much for the video, I have always loved nutrition but I didn’t know about holistic or functional nutrition, I would like to find a way to study nutrition so that I can help others, I live in Louisiana, so if you can give me any pointers I would truly appreciate it, best wishes
I love bone broth as well, but I just read about potential danger in it containing lead. Lead is apparently stored in bones so a long simmering broth could cause it to leach into the broth. The suggestion was 'carcass' broth, as you would use to make soup.. but then you're not getting the good stuff that only happens after several hours.. I don't know, I only just came across this without delving further yet, but I just wanted to mention this in case it was something you'd like to look into for yourself if you felt it was important.
Where did you source this information from? I'd like to read up on it myself. Thank you 😊
It is also unhealthy if you have histamine issues...
Hello M’ Lady. Your hair looks gorgeous
Yes, I was just about to comment on that... your hair looks so thick and beautiful! ❤
thank you ❤
Please make a video of how you prepare and consume oysters. TY!
Hey Jennifer, thank you so much for sharing your diet staples with us. I have 1 question tho. How often do you have your “cheat days” where you eat whatever you want for a big meal? Would you say once a week?
Thank you, Jennifer! What's your daily calorie intake?
Great video, very informative. Did you swap out sardines for oysters? that was my guess over bone broth.
Great video! What brand of oysters do you get? Or do you buy them fresh at a seafood market? Thank you❤️
Can you please do a video showing how you eat these things? Like how to do you like to prepare & eat liver, oysters etc....
thank you jennifer
I loveeee the cold Japanese sweet potatoes
I don't like oysters much but I've been taking this Australian brand supplement of it and I'm enjoying the benefits.
I'm in Australia - what is the brand name of this supplement? Thank you.
I’m in Australia and would love to know the brand too. I can’t eat oysters, just can’t deal with the texture.
Hi Jennifer, I have a question, how do you eat the oyster and where do you buy it , frozen or natural. Thank you very much, I love your videos
Can you please do hair care routine too please it will very helpful
Thank you so much
love from Africa...very interesting detais❤
Hi jen love from Thailand ❤ i always love your content so much . U are an epitome of calm! How do u drink green tea? I would like to know the amount and. Frequency for the same 🙂
You might want to say sweet potato instead of potato... I saw you peel off the skin in the old video but that part is nutritious.
I wish I could eat oysters...they are so good but always get me sick the next day. (I take zinc supplement every day maybe that's why I don't have gray hair)
I have the same problem but not oysters but avocado I feel sick after eating them.
I love these types of videos. Do you eat your oysters raw?
I need a friend like you in Texas to learn more and more about eating healthy. It would be fun to have that. My friends don’t eat very healthy.
I was wondering the same.
*Any tips on oyster buying? Do you have a favorite brand?*
Yes, I would love to know what oysters to buy... I've been looking for awhile but really not sure what to get. Some info on this would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Agree. Help needed!
How do you eat or prepare the oysters and beef liver? I want to try them, but didn’t eat those foods growing up, and feel like it will take a while to enjoy the taste/texture.
Same here!
Thanks for this :) was very helpful.
Personally, I prefer guayusa over green tea, and if not that then white peony tea is my next favorite (white peony is actually the same plant as green tea). I find those to be much better than green tea in a few areas, including antioxidants. Guayusa has the advantage of having no tannins (unlike tea in general), and also caffeine content comparable to coffee, while at the same time contains a very high amount of theanine to counteract any negative effects from the caffeine (unlike coffee).
Could I ask which brand of guayusa tea you like? Thanks
Tealyra is superb. I would feel confident getting from Mountain Rose Herbs as well.
Technically not a tea, but a "holly". @@niamhbyrne4036
Can you show us how you make oysters? Thank you!
Thanks ❤❤❤❤
could you please share how you get oysters in your diet? do you frequent an oyster restaurant or are you able to get them from a grocery? thank you great content as always
Hi Jen do you have any tips for varicose veins?
Maybe one of the wisest piece of advise available for beauty & health. In France, we rarely eat fermented food except for fermented cabbage and turnip, but we tend to eat (I am talking about traditionnal way of eating) raw cheese in the morning, packed with good bacterias and enzymes, organ meat and raw oysters of course, our olive oil (French olive oil is the most expensive in the world: tiny production) is so packed with polyphenols that we call it sometimes "oliphenols", duck fat is also a big thing in our country, as well as bone broth, our elders used to eat the bone marrow too, the only non-French products I consume is green tea and rooibos (packed with anti-oxydants as well), sometimes avocados but my consumption of duck or goose fat is such that it does not make much difference. Although our traditionnal diet is very high in fat, we remain in the top 10 longest living nations in the world (and it has NOTHING to do with wine, traditionnaly most French in the old days drank home made ciders, wine or champagne were for celebrations).
Do you have any experience with sugar craving?
I need these oyster benefits to happen to me! Ive eaten a can every day for over ten years and my hair sucks. I have a severe chronic illness and just had a long hospital stay this year so I know that is the biggest factor. I still love the taste of oysters (smoked not raw).
Hair health is not just about diet but how you treat your hair. E.g. do you wash it enough, oil the hair, do scalp massage, sleep wearing a bonnet etc etc.
@Rorirm totally agree!
thank you Jennifer! I am wondering how you get your oysters, fresh? canned?
I just posted this as well. I’m curious also.😊
I tried making liver jerky after watching one of your videos but I just can’t do it. I so wanted to enjoy it considering its benefits but couldn’t bear the taste.. luckily I like everything else on this list 🙂
What kind of oysters do you buy? Canned ones in oil or water?
Is there a particular brand of canned oysters you would recommend?
IS it true that Olive Oil should be purchased from a label that lists one country versus multiple? Or does it affect the benefits of the Oil?
Question about oysters: do you consume them fresh year around or do you go for canned when the season may not be the best for them?
Also, I’ve been trying to cook beef liver well for years now but can’t quite get it - what’s your cooking technique?
Hello Jen! Where do you recommend buying oysters on a regular basis?
There are not a lot boiled oysters I see online, most are smoked or raw. That's okay too?
Great video Jen but a word of caution that I have learned from a nutritionist /biochemist: it is not advisable to be consuming large amounts of organ meats such as liver because of high vitamin D content . Though we need vitamin D, in large amounts it can actually be detrimental because vitamin D is actually a hormone. And hormones are what she calls nuclear receptors meaning they are so small they can penetrate the cell plasma and actually access the DNA which is normally highly protected . And depending on where on the DNA it hits , it can cause mutation , some leading to cancer as a result .
What do you mean by large amounts?
@@treshcoon1824 hi there , the nutritionist did not specify what is a “large amount “ but to put it concisely , she does not recommend supplementing nor eating organ meats , as a way to get vitamin D. I think she believes getting it from vegetables and from the sun is the “safest” way to get it although I still do take 1,000 IU a day with a vitamin K2 since I am not really able to easily prepare and eat vegetables (semi-homeless ) . Sorry I couldn’t be more specific but I would highly recommend you go explore her website and listen to the interviews she’s done under the podcasts option under her menu on her site. Her name is k aren h urd . I have to write it like that because sometimes my comments don’t show up and I wonder if it’s because I type certain words or names . Such a wealth of knowledge and not your typical nutritionist that usually say all the same things (not saying they aren’t extremely capable but I think they are missing a few key things) .
@@treshcoon1824omg I just posted a reply but I see it disappeared !! Grrrr 😖 . Do you see another reply from me besides this one?
@@SleeplessinOC no 😢
