    As a 55 y.o. going through perimenopause, I have found weight training to have the biggest impact on my well being. I do a video at home three days per week, alternating days with cardio. I wish that I had incorporated the things you are talking about 20 years ago! To all of the women out there, please don’t wait to begin taking care of yourself!❤

      at 59(60 in April!) and fully menopausal I totally agree! I wish I had known this at the beginning of perimenopause. I do age appropriate weight training several times a week and cardio the other days. I follow a lady named Lauren on SeniorShapeFitness here on RUclips. I also recently got a rebounder and do 10 mins or so several times a week on that. I looooooooove that thing! When I saw Jennifer using one I checked it out. :) So thankful for Jennifer and all the daily connoisseurs!!

      I've been weight training, on and off, for 20 yrs. I love it because it changes your body and your ability to physically manage tasks like no other form of exercise. The best part is that it only requires 20 minutes/day to see results. Now that I'm in menopause, I'm so thankful that I only have to maintain muscle mass; not try and increase it.♥️🇨🇦

    As a way to bump up the protein in regular oatmeal, try adding in a 1/2 cup of egg whites into your almost cooked stovetop oatmeal (boil water, add oats, cook until almost all of the water is incorporated) and stir constantly until they are fluffy and all incorporated. It's delicious and bulks up the oats to be more satiating and less of a blood sugar crash after. Doesn't taste eggy either!

One thing I have always appreciated about you was your down to earth, balanced approach to life and health. Of course, you must do what is right for you, but as a viewer, I hope you don’t venture much into dietary extremism with people like Bryan Johnson. I’m not saying his approach is wrong. I’m just saying that is a whole different lifestyle than I have appreciated this channel for.

    The varied fasts are so much harder for me too! I was doing well with 16/8; occasionally longer or shorter as life permitted or prevented. But since learning concepts from Mindy Pelz, I’ve actually fallen off the fasting bandwagon. I probably need to schedule my fasts, if I want to do them ‘correctly.’ When I go about my days, unsure whether or not it’s okay for me to be fasting, I default to not doing it! :/ So I look forward to hearing about how you’re handling it, since the wonderful Dr. Mindy has made it more complicated for us. 😅😉 I think my issue may have to do with the crippling “all or none” mindset that seems to affect so many areas of life. If I can’t do it 100% the right way, I lean towards not doing it. But it would be better to do it imperfectly than not at all.

    Taking care of my 3 little kids all day long, I realized I was eating poorly because I was too busy to feed myself well--hungry and eating junky foods all day. Intermittent fasting has really helped in a way. Since when I start to eat in the morning is once the kids have already been served and have settled into their happy play, I can focus on what my meal consists of. I'm also placing more emphasis on protein and fat and not going for all the carbs all the time. Spending time with Jesus at 5:30am no matter how late I went to bed is also important. It really effects my kids. I don't want to wait until they're older to be less stressed/a better mother just because right now is so difficult to prioritize it.

    Thank you! I've also been incorporating some of Bryan Johnson's protocol and find his videos very motivating.
    Like you, I find varying my fasting more difficult than doing the same thing daily. This also applies to changing my physical routine in order to add weight training and more varied exercises (including some to improve balance as I just reached 80 -- yikes!). I prefer keeping the same routines but this year I shall adjust to more variety!
    I began using a scale with app that records information/measurements similar to yours, and the ability to see my progress over the past 5 years is truly inspiring.
    I will replay this vlog throughout January b/c you mention every single practice that I want to improve on and/or add to in 2024!
    Do you read minds, Jennifer? 😉😄

  • @eliz493
    @eliz493 9 месяцев назад +4

    The most helpful information that found me last year was the concept that exercise has to be applied in the appropriate 'dose' to be effective for physical improvement and growth without creating so much stress that it becomes counterproductive.
    What I finally understood is that athletes who are held as idealized are actually asking more from their bodies than a human should, and as a result often suffer from the extremes in injury that most people do not have to bear.
    Michael Matthew's weight lifting advice has helped me put muscle on with little effort. His book 'thinner, leaner, stronger ' is very useful for beginners. His approach is more conservative than most in that area of expertise.

      No medical evidence you have to fast to lose weight. It’s not better nor worse than regular scheduled eating as long as you are on a calorie deficit. Which is what fasting is about. Nor the need to “alternate” your fast according to your menstrual cycle. No medical nor science evidence to this. If fasting doesn’t work for you that is fine.

    2024 is the year I'm going to seriously work on getting my health back. 2023 found me with a uterine cancer diagnosis, I've had two surgeries and lots of scans. It was a rare and very dangerous cancer but because it was found very early I don't have to take chemo - what a blessing. Now to do the hard work of getting my health to the best possible place. I have simplified many areas of my life and now my focus is on physical and mental well being. I'd like to recommend a book by Michael Greger, MD., "How Not To Age" - it's full of interesting information. To all the ladies that might read this - if you have any physical symptom that concerns you, see a doctor asap and don't be shy to ask for a second opinion. Because I pushed for extra tests and finally a hysterectomy, it saved my life. I love your vlogs - keep them coming. Happy New Year from a longtime fan in SC.

    I always enjoy your calm and informative and relatable videos. Have you considered touching on the “mommy wine culture” I fell into the trap for many years thinking I needed or deserved this form of relaxation or escape which only led to weight gain, irritablility and lack on motivation. I have since been reading more about the ill effects of alcohol and have cut it from my life by about 95%. If we have a fabulous steak dinner I enjoy a glass of red wine or I enjoy champagne with a lovely brunch. However it is no longer part of my daily lifestyle. I would enjoy hearing your take on this. This toxic drug is pushed on women and made to seem so appealing, fun and necessary but in reality it adds very little to one’s life and take away a lot in return. Thank you Jennifer.

    I recently discovered Bryan Johnson and have been eating nutty pudding in place of holiday treats. I’m fascinated and intrigued by his longevity program. I’m going to start adding super veggie into my diet too. I follow a Mediterranean Diet overall so these foods fit right in to the Mediterranean Diet which includes eating more beans , pulses, and legumes. I like that these foods are high in protein, shelf stable, and low in cost. High quality olive oil is emphasized in the Mediterranean Diet. Thank you for focusing on health. It is always important! Happy New Year!🎊

I buy the riced cauliflower and broccoli frozen mix and always have that on hand in my freezer. I can make a large batch of lentils in the rice cooker and throw in dried mushrooms which you can find in any international grocery store. I mix everything together and store in the fridge. I once heard the term “spoon salad” and feel like that is the perfect description! It’s easy to make in a large batch and sits very well for a few days. Thank you for your dedication and willingness to share!

      @@21972012145525 Great question! You can lose weight by weight training, in fact, more muscle in your body raises your BMR. Many people choose the cardio route though because it's quicker for fat loss. It's a good idea to do both if you can. Cardio = quicker fat loss, and weight training = muscle preservation. By doing cardio only, you will become leaner, but you could potentially lose muscle mass which is what we want to try to avoid. Hope this helps!

      Hello! I do not see the members icon next to your username. Could it be that you signed up under a different RUclips account? If you're still being billed, that's the likeliest option. You can always cancel your membership and sign up again under this account that you use more.

    Hi Jennifer, I’m implementing red light therapy and it’s helping me a good bit. I just bought a vibration plate to extend the benefits of my limited workout time. Next, I’m saving for a collapsible sauna and a face red light therapy to hopefully eliminate sun spots (praying it helps.)
    Happy New Year, Julie 🌷

      I love all of your videos ❤❤. I recommend you read the Vanity Fair piece about Bryan Johnson before ascribing to his philosophy (Dec issue author Rachel Dodes). I love all the healthy living ideas on this vlog and our family has read all the books and put many of the ideas into practice! But now sadly I’m questioning it a bit if you are so willing to engage and promote someone like Bryan Johnson. I think it’s important to make sure these people are healthy in mind (not just body) before having him elevated on your healthy living plan for 2024. I watch all of your videos with my 16 year old daughter and I cannot in good faith have her watch this one because she will ask “who is Bryan Johnson?”. This doesn’t take away from the fact that I think you are a beautiful person inside and out and I thank you for all that you have done thus far! ❤ Happy Healthy New Year!

      There are always two sides to a story. I think both he and his ex-fiancé are probably at fault, but he really seems to be doing a good thing for humanity in wanting to share his health outcomes. Regardless of his path, it seems he’s trying to do good, and that’s worth a lot in my book. All we can do is our best moving forward. ❤️

    I really hate to say it, but LMNT contains a cheap form of potassium-potassium chloride. Please look it up y’all. It’s hard on your kidneys-especially if using long term, so please be careful-especially to anyone with existing kidney issues. :(
    I use Celtic sea salt, eat avocados for potassium, and take magnesium glycinate since we really can’t get it from food anymore. ❤

    • @juliecarns
      @juliecarns 9 месяцев назад +3

      I find the LMNT can be stretched much further than the original dissolve instructions; I had chronic kidney issues for a couple decades during pregnancies and can feel if my body needs more water. Good insight.

    I struggle with getting enough protein. I just CANNOT snack on meat. I'll give some examples of protein rich foods that are helping me, but if anyone has any affordable suggestions, I would be forever grateful.
    So, I eat meat, of couse. Also, protein powder, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, lentils, protein wraps, eggs & added egg whites. Still cannot get over 90 grams/day.
    Anyone have ideas?♥️🇨🇦

    Hi Jennifer. I have been intermittent fasting for 2 or 3 years also. I understand that you are sponsored by LMNT. I take potassium and magnesium every day. I also put only real salt in my first 2 cups of coffee before I break my fast. Would that not be sufficient to replenish my electrolytes?
    Also, exercise has been such a challenge in the past year or more. I had surgery on a torn meniscus and now have no meniscus left on one knee. I have always gone out and walked for year. I'm very limited as to what I can do, as my ortho told me not to jump, squat and I can't walk distance. Until I get brave enough to have surgery, I feel stuck when it comes to exercising. Even after surgery there are still limitations. If any of your viewers see this and have had better quality of life with surgery, I'd sure appreciate their input. As of now I'm getting by with the HA acid gels every 6 months, but it only helps about 50 percent.
    A very nice video. Have a blessed day.

Every time I have oatmeal, which I love, I dive from a glycemic overload...AND not proteing...so it's good to hear of a company who actually ADDS protein to such a loved product. Cottage cheese, eggs and green smoothies with Orgain protein powder are my protein go-to's. -Leslie

    Unfortunately ELMT doesn't have the right kind of potassium ( Potassium chloride) AND it doesn't have enough Potassium to balance all that salt. If you're a kidney stone former it's too much salt and you may not know you're a story e former until you're older. I have a terrible one in my 50's and I had no idea until the agony HIT me last summer.

    I really enjoy your channel. Thank you for such classy content. I will let you know that I discovered that any form of ground protein such as an isolate dumps directly into the liver and acts as sugar so it then no longer serves the purpose for protein. We weren't created to have our protein pulverized so our bodies can not process it that way. I learned this from Dr. Boz on RUclips(she is similar to Mindy) and so anything ground like peanut butter powder or pulverized soy or protein of any sort is basically eating sugar and will spike your blood sugar and create insulin resistance. It's better to have less overall protein that is actually acting in the body the way protein should than to fool ourselves into thinking we are getting something that we aren't. Check out Dr. Boz as I think she will explain it much better than me. ☺

    I gained some of the weight back.that i had lost via if. Im not happy about it because its on my tummy 😭 i think for me being more strict with my eating and avoiding "intuitive eating" is key because thebnore i care less about the food/diet/nutrition the more i loose. As soon as i begin to track things or make a conscious effort, i feel i get a bit obsessed with food. Initially i had tried to gain a few pounds just to gain weight and grow my hair back. I actually dont know how much heavier i have gotten though

    I forgot to leave a comment back when you first published this video, so I don’t know if you will see this comment, but I need to tell you that your sponsorship of LMNT has literally SAVED my low blood pressure! Throughout my first and second trimester of pregnancy, my blood pressure was getting worse and worse. I was almost passing out and so lightheaded that I could barely take care of my 4 little kids.
    Some days I had to lie in bed because my low blood pressure was making me so ill. I kept trying to get ahold of my doctor, but it was my mom who told me that I needed to add in an electrolyte drink for my blood pressure. Literally the next day, you had an advertisement for LMNT and I immediately bought some (this was back in November or December).
    Within 3 days I was feeling better, and within a week my blood pressure was healed.
    I cannot thank you enough for being sponsored by LMNT! I initially bought a huge 4 pack, then went and bought another 4 pack after trying all the free samples and finding my favorites. I drink it every morning religiously and my body craves it first thing in the morning!
