Don't lie Jen, you brush with tretinoin 🙌
😂😂😂😂 🩵
😆
And she withholds eating, and when she does eat, she barfs it out... 😮
@@LoveAlways333 hater get off of her page. She's beautiful and healthy sorry you are miserable with your life.

There are people who don’t brush regularly and have perfectly healthy teeth. Diet is the biggest part.. the industry is selling us the wrong foods.
I just started optic white...it's gotten rid of my tea and coffee stains within a few days...love it 😍
Does it make your teeth sensitive?
@@JenJayBanksIt made mine hurt, I thought I just had bad teeth, but my husband started complaining, too. It's probably a good idea not to use every day if you're worried about that.
@@JenJayBanks it didn't make mine sensitive at all... and I have super sensitive teeth, can't do the Crest strips at all. Totally fine with this toothpaste though :)
@@keekeejenkins6162probably the 3% hydrogen peroxide
Hey Jennifer, I just wanted you to know I actually love that you don't smile often.
I'm watching all of your videos.
I do Dr. Ellie Phillips 5 step toothcare regime. She is in her 70's and a dentist and her teeth look AMAZING, like 30 year old teeth. I am age 54 and my teeth look amazing too! Steps are 1. Closys mouth rinse for 1 minute. 2. xylitol (I just use birch xylitol and put a tiny bit in my mouth move it around then swallow. 2. Brush with Crest REGULAR toothpaste massage gums and finishing with brushing teeth. 4. 1 minute swish in mouth original listerine 5. 1 minute swish in mouth mint ACT. Teeth are super white and my dentist said I am a dream patient! I only floss about 1x per week because Dr. Ellie said floss only to get food out of teeth as flossing is very hard on the gums and can contribute to gingivitus. I will say I have eaten a healthy high fruit and veggie diet no processed foods, no meat, no dairy for decades and decades.
Dr. Ellie is great- so glad I found her
Love that side note. Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Foods for teeth:
Oily fish
Leafy greens
Onions
Chocolate, unsweetened bitter
Eggs pasture raised
Grass fed liver
Grass fed dairy ( I would add raw is best)
Natto
Vitamen c: grapefruit, oranges, lemons
Eliminate or limit to occasional:
Sugar
Ultra processed foods
Sugary drinks
You have such a balanced approach to everything. It refreshing that you just stick to a great holistic diet and minimal products that work instead of being sucked into an entire no tox approach which sometimes just isn’t effective nor realistic. Thank you Jennifer.
I was watching an older video in which you said you are dairy-free and then saw in a more recent video you eat cottage cheese...did you introduce it back recently? I was hoping to get a recommendation for dairy milk alternative...I do not like the ones in US supermarkets..they all have oils and gums in them.
You are similar to me. I have had a hard time smiling my whole life. its hard for me to smile and people mistake it that I'm sad and depressed and have some sort of problem not realizing that I'm naturally a non expressive person also. i need something really funny or to hit me in the right spot to get me to smile and i'm working on doing it more often. Its hard to meet people when your like this and to be able to smile its like feeding a fire. You put out the energy and it comes back to you and its hard to start the energy moving if your a mellow person like me.
Hello Jennifer, I normaly never comment on videos as I watch mostly to educate myself, not to interact with others. But I wanted to say that I think your approach to ageing, to skincare, to exercise, your diet and life is very honest and fantastic. I love seeing someone that provides facts as the current sience sees it, and also practice what they preach and has proof that the pudding is good. Thank you Jennifer for your thoughtful videos, you help me make decisons I think has been great for myself -I use more wide brim hats in the summer, sunsceen every day, tret or differin at night, silk bonnet when I sleep for my hair, azeliac acid morning and night, foot cream with urea, vaselin around my eyes at night, coconut oil before I wash my hair etc. I feel like these are low effort-high rewarding habits.
Question retarging this video- do you think a water pik would be a good alrernative to flossing?
Great video as always. Could you possibly do an updated body care routine? Thank you ❤

@@keekeejenkins6162Some people literally have nothing better to do than make disgusting comments about others. I was always taught that if you haven't got anything nice then don't say it at all. Some people are just so nasty. I've noticed this user posting loads of nasty comments.
Report her x
I follow Dr. Ellie’s mouth care system. Bad breath, even in the morning rarely exists unless I am a bit dehydrated. Dr. Ellie worked with dentists in Germany that got to the bottom of gum disease and cavity prevention and sometimes reversal. She will go against some of the “research” but has the studies to back things up. She also believes in Xylitol and sells her own.
How long before you see/feel results? I'm starting it tomorrow and hope it resolves my gum recession, plaque buildup, etc.
@@Shell.29 I have been on it for 3 months and I am making progress very slowly. I follow it to the letter and I am mostly dealing with some recession. I recommend the mints and not the gum. A large bag of mints is on sale on the Zellie’s site. I love the Cherry 🍒 Berry. Also, the softer toothbrush she recommends by Dr. Plotka is best. I also did a complete overhaul of my diet at the same time. For that I am following what Dr. Ken Berry recommends. He has a YT channel. I almost never get bad breath and that happened immediately.
Thank you for replying! I appreciate it. I've ordered mints and the rinse, having gotten the last 3 steps. I'll have to get the soft toothbrush. I just brushed the bejeesus out of my gums and they got more recessed. I'll have to consider Dr Ken Berry's diet. Carbs keep extra pounds on me anyway.@@TexasLyoness
@@Shell.29 It sounds like you’re on your way to better teeth. Just keep doing Zellie’s program consistently and know it didn’t happen overnight, so it will take time. Consistency is key. Be sure to time the rinses like she says. Going too long can be an issue. The toothbrushes are pricey, but worth it. I love the new diet, but I fast a lot and only do one great meal a day usually. I feel amazing to say the least and rarely have cravings. I just went to church after not having gone for some months and people were commenting on the weight loss.
I read your comment shortly after you posted it and looked up Dr. Ellie. I'm coming back to thank you for sharing this! I've tried many oral care systems over the years, including from an expensive holistic dentist. Everything helped a little or got me out of a rough spot but this feels completely different already and I haven't had tooth sensitivity since I started.
Thank you for being you Jennifer. I always come back to you when I need a reminder that health is wealth. Love from France ❤
Another great video thank you Jen how about a video on your wardrobe love to know where you shop and what’s your personal style and an am skincare routine Have a Merry Christmas and happy New Year
Hi, could you create a ‘What I Eat in a Day’ video?
Hello there, can we please get a ‘updated’ morning skincare routine like the night one you recently did!
You've got a beautiful personality! And smiling looks good on you! Love your depth and minimalism. Your videos gave me so many insights about the beauty industry and what's really important. Every video that I watched, even if the topic wasn't that interesting for me, has been totally worth it. Thank you for sharing your wisdom:)).
I’m so happy you’re making videos again!! Thank you for the information 😆
Thank you so much for this video!! I’ve learned so much from you and I’m gonna train myself to love the taste of 100% dark unsweetened chocolate. Period!!
Could you do a updated what’s in my bag for the new year ? Thank you
Thank you Jennifer 🥺💖 I have been requesting this video for a while, because I honestly wish more people spoke about oral hygiene! 🪥 Thank you so so much!
Well, if you only drink water, eat healthy, you are doing 90% right. But easier said than done.
For me, when I was a teenager I was obsessed with bad breath. I didn't like the dry feel in my mouth, tongue. So tried chewing gums, mouth wash. Then read a sport article about hydration, since then I drink 3-4 litre of water every day.
You should try a xylitol-based chewing gum; preferably the most natural one without other ingredients 🌸
Personally, I eat a lot of acidic foods with each meal -kimchi, for instance!-, and drink coffee a few times a day. As I don't believe in brushing more than twice, I chew xylitol gum or add some of it in powder form to green tea & sip on that between meals. Apparently it neutralizes bad bacteria and is generally quite good for the oral microbiome. Also very convenient for when you're outdoors and can't brush until later...
I’ve been told the “tols” aren’t to be consumed regularly as they can raise blood glucose levels, which suggests that diabetics shouldn't consume it, disrupt gut bacteria which has numerous effects but also can damage kidneys while being toxic to pets. I choose organic stevia, maple syrup or honey personally having been a prior user of erythritol.
@@aprilmay356chewing it qould be safe though right?
@@aprilmay356she was talking about xylitol, not eritritol. And yes, it is toxic voor the pets, but really goed for teeth, maybe use it only for teeth not for the other purpose. I use toothpaste with xylitol and chewing gum and no cavities for the past 7 years and also the last cavity that i have before i started to use xylitol was totally healed, my dentist saw it in the beginning, but she said there is no bacteria in it, so she doesnt need to fix it.
Honey is goed for the body, but pretty aggressive for the teeth.
@@aprilmay356 AFAIK, the effect on blood sugar is negligible, and most certainly hasn't been linked to damage or kidney disease (unlike other sweeteners). Please link studies?
Only kind of gum I carry for benefit, all else on market is full of crap and chemicals. Happy People is the best on market, delicious flavor and highest amount of xylitol per piece of any brand!
I was just wondering when you were gonna share your these secrets😂, your teeth are so perfect!
Thanks for your video Jennifer. I’ve watched your other videos and I’m not sure if you have ever mentioned by you don’t eat legumes, grains, or seeds. Can you share?
thank you Jennifer. I would have hoped if you had recommended a tooth paste that is fluoride free. Also, the chocolate you recommend is it lead free? thank you
What is your opinion on Kombucha. 100% agree with nixing the sugar except, as someone with Celiacs, raw kombucha has really helped me a lot. That is my daily consumption of sugar I cannot do without. If you know of a sugar free homemade version I am all ears! (is that even possible?) :)
Make a video on mental health
Happy Holidays Jen 🎄
Thanks for sharing these effective tips.
I'm grateful you're here !
I have a question? Do you exfoliate? If so, do you mind making a video of your exfoliating routine?
Thanks for this vid! I always wondered how your teeth are white. I'll buy some of your recommendations. I'm always looking to improve my health.
When you talk about food my mouth watering 😅🤤thank you for the information ❤️and be kind 🥀
Thank you beautiful Jennifer.
I adore this woman so much omgg
Great video. Full of great info.😊🥰😊
Thank you so much for your wisdom!
Upon first glance it doesn't seem like they took into account the different types of mouthwash. I can imagine the ones containing dry alcohols would kill the good bacteria, so I opt for alcohol free on the rare occassion that I do use mouthwash.
I had a relative who needed heart surgery after he got staph bacteria through his mouth!! Now I always use alcohol based. Scary
What brand do you use? Are you following Dr. Ellie? I recently started watching more of her vids and noticed she recommends mouthwash
I enjoy all your videos
Thank you for this video Jennifer, super helpful. So glad you share your knowledge about food and health here on TH-cam❤
Did you use electric toothbrush everyday or alternate with normal brush?
Thank you 👋
Do you still use hydroquinone?
Think I’m in love
Can you talk about facial fat? Have you noticed any changes? Looks like you still have amazing amount of mass in your face. Do you think Tretinoin has anything to do with it or anything else?
💎
im suprised you not using a flouride free toothpaste.
❤❤
Are you on Instagram?
Excellent reportage, I learned a lot thank you
your toothpaste contains flouride. There are many studies on its negative effect. whats your thought?
Don't believe it, you can see the difference which people brushing their teeth with fluoride and those without. My child washed one with fluoride-free toothpaste and the other with fluoride. I don't recommend the fluoride-free one. Cavities appear faster. In addition, fluoride also occurs naturally, e.g. in green tea.
@@kingal.4575 studies are studies tho. you can accept one study and abandon another... its all about the evidence. But personal experience is another thing to consider as well. i personally believe in the harm of long term flouride.
@@kingal.4575natural occurring fluoride isn’t the same as the man made toxic one…. And the amount of man made fluoride we are exposed to is concerning… natural occurring fluoride bio accumulation is nothing to worry about. Fluoride in toothpaste isn’t that much of a worry more so than showering in hot steamy water or drinking tap water
@@kingal.4575I have brushed with both fluoride and fluoride free with no discernable difference in my cavities. I am cavity-free regardless. Children are different and prone to cavities.
On the studies you've read, does the harm come from simply brushing, swishing and spitting? Or does the harm come from the actual consumption/swallowing?
Hey beautiful just want to let you know how unbelievably toxic Colgate is.. really worth looking into and digging further. It’s shocking what’s in it.. stopped using years ago.
The best brand I found that cleans my teeth so well and is 100% clean and safe is called Auromere (fresh mint). It’s an Ayurvedic one. Hope this helps xx
Love that toothpaste!
Natural does not mean safe unfortunately. Essential oils, for example, have been classified as endocrine disrupters. Various herbs and spices are strong allergens/irritants or have unknown effects. Also many of them are sourced from the most polluted and unregulated places in the world and are often contaminated with toxic substances.
@@annakolesnikova7463 this is not what I even shared. I wasn’t speaking of natural vs anything or that natural is better? I simply stated to look into how toxic the Colgate toothpaste is specifically, and a really good toxic free one I’ve found. I’m talking about this toothpaste specifically, not everything.
@@taylamae3421 I understand what you mean and wanted to share a different perspective on that. The Auromere toothpaste might not be as toxic-free as they say -- all of the problematic substances I mentioned above are in it. Even the EWG (known for its corruption, bias, and non-scientific practices) rates both toothpastes almost the same (orange category). I bet if it didn't rate some of the Auromere's exotic/unknown ingredients with zero data as completely safe, it would quickly jump into the red zone ranking, which would make it much worse than Colgate.
Hi I'm mary I love you so much ❤ thanks for all videos ❤ I want to be friends with you ❤ please 😊

Jen, what is your take on Bryan Johnson and his philosophy on aging and health?
I'm curious about this too! I know she's not heavy into supplementation so there's that
Hi, Jen. 🙂 Any thoughts on xylitol? Do you use it? What are your thoughts on fluoride being toxic and causing mental issues?
Thank you for yet another simple yet effective routine. Where do you stand on fluoride?
"Embrace people who are different. Be kind to every one." 👍👍👍
I appreciate all of your videos!! Such great tips and perspective. Would you consider doing a video on your wardrobe? I’d like to see how you decide to purchase clothing and shoes and I’d like to see your items. 🙏🏻🥰
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
jennifer how to treat transparent teeth
Hey my friend, you need to remineralise your teeth. Try a toothpaste that does this but if they're really transparent then find a good dentist
I feel like dark chocolate stains my teeth.
It's been so long since I last saw your videos. I remember when you uploaded the video years ( ? ) prior talking about wanting to try youtube and you finally did it and I'm honestly so happy for you. I followed your castor oil eyelashes routine from back then and still am thankful to this day. So good to see you glowing and doing well, I aspire to be like you someday
Although I do not necessarily have the traditional sweet tooth, I do love a nice milk chocolate (preferably from ALDI). My wife does like the dark and I have not aquired taste for it. I may rethink that and see whats happens! Awesome video as always !!!
Thank you thank you so much for covering up this topic❤

I love your personality. Despite not being a smiley kind of person, you still translate as authentic and I enjoy that you speak about serious matters with a serious tone. I'm the same way.
she's a gemini I think
@@mq1847 how do you know?
She said it in one of her videos
Boka makes a really good whiting toothpaste with hydroxyapatite and doesn't use toxic fluoride. My whole family uses it! We also don't use mouthwash because of the potential adverse effects.
Yes! I seem to get a ton of cavities from fluoride but zero cavities when I use none fluoride toothpaste. I haven’t had a cavity since I switched.
I’m worried about the teeth whitening toothpaste and the strips. Do they not destroy the teeth which is irreversible?
