1. Sleep on your back 2. Mew (place your tongue on the roof) 3. Chew gum 4. Lymphatic massage 5. Breathe through your nose 6. View your phone at eye level
Something I was thinking about it today as I was reading a magazine... what's the difference between looking down at your phone and looking down reading a magazine or book?
@bethpat9 the difference is the blu ray led light emanating from the cell phone screen. It does just as much damage to the skin as the sun, if not more, because we don't get burned like we do by the sun so we arent aware the damage is happening. The burn from the sun tells us to get out of the sun, with the cell phone we dont feel it. Also, people spend way more time on their cell phone than they ever did reading books.
Part of the reason your teeth problems improved when you used Xylimelts for dry mouth is the xylitol in the mints. Xylitol is a calorie free sweetener actually PREVENTS cavities. So if anyone watching this video is going to take up gum chewing for the jaw line, they should get Xylital gum to add the cavity preventing benefits! I like PUR Gum with 100% Xylitol, because it has no aspartame.( IMPORTANT Note: xylitol is TOXIC to dogs, so make sure to keep anything containing xylitol away from your puppers.)
💯 Just a heads up to any who have IBS or other issues that maybe/prob sensitive to artificial sugars (ols). I can’t chew it or even use melts but wish I could. PS: mastic gum is also great for teeth and mouth muscles.
@@jmc8076 You can do Xylitol "pulling" or putting the crystals in your mouth, let them melt & just hold it in your mouth after you eat food or before bedtime so you alkalize your mouth overnight. I buy a 1lb bag of birch sourced xylitol & use those according to my food/caffeine intake.
Awesome observation. I’m a Chiropractor so I’m sharing with my patients all the time why sleeping on your back is important to your spine and muscles. And I will add face asymmetry to my list! Great observations!
Massive L❤VE and respect coming from this Michigan girl CEO-business leader, content like yours Chalene fuels me and my 50’s self, my conversations with the younger people I lead (mainly female) and is so needed! We are aligned on so many things, muscle, heavy weights, Botox, having hot bodies as we age and leading by example… on and on. From the beach body days, you became my gf, with your empowering programs (I now know that wasn’t you being healthy) to the public it was bad@ss. Love and adore you, so excited I found you here in TH-cam. 🔥💪😍
Yes. a chiropractor told me to sleep on my back due to back problems I was having. It takes time to train our bodies to sleep on back, but I have been doing it for 25 years now. Also decreases wrinkles and I always breath through my nose. 😊
I was telling my patients to mouth tape 15 years ago - not for looks/the face, but for health/posture/good neural and myofascial communication, because the air is supposed to be heated (and treated) before it enters the throat, and 6-8 hours a day doing anything causes reticular fibres to strengthen the fascia too be in that position. Sleep position was one of those 'lectures' I found myself giving up to 10 times a day.... for over a decade. And MLD (Manual Lymphatic Drainage) was one of my specialties It's great to see you sharing the science. Great video
I am long time mouth breather 64, denture wearer now..lots of chronic ear problems..ive even had surgery, and tubes..not much improvement...I'm wondering if that could help with my ear issues..
Don't believe her so much .she has done so many plastic surgery Lip injection and nose job . I have her DVD exercise years years ago and she is totally different than new look
I've always been a gum chewer and I recently noticed my right side looks better than my left. I started to notice I chew on my right side a lot so I started chewing the gum intentionally on the left side to try and even out my jaw line. So weird, that I noticed that before I saw your video. Thank you Chalene!!
My father in law slept sitting up in a chair slouched to 1 side for a few years. At only 65 years old he had severe curvature of the spine and he can’t even take care of himself now at 72 because he can’t stand up very long or walk without a walker. It affects your entire body! Sleep right. ❤
So I started sleeping on my back when I got injured in a car accident in 2018. My physical therapist suggested using a bolster pillow under my knees to help take the strain off of my lower back and I’ve been using one ever since. It’s way more comfortable and I’ve definitely noticed a difference in my skin. No more hooded eyelids (I include peptides as well) and my chest skin doesn’t wrinkle anymore.
Occasionally, I use a half cylinder shaped, memory foam, neck pillow under my knees. It has a velvet texture & doesn't slide away if I want to change positions. That's a good & equally frustrating feature. I have a different one with a satin cover. This is similar to a greased pig. It pops out & slides away..
"Similar to a greased pig" That just made me laugh out loud..I'm at work & not busy and it's REALLY quiet😮..so now my colleagues think I'm loony!😂😂😂☮️🇬🇧
I've only watched your post twice... thank you it's brilliant. I do a lot of what you chat about already, but you give the finishing touch. I'm 73 years old and still making the effort to keep looking good.
Hello Charlene , I am enjoying your content and your energy! I am a Speech Language Pathologist and just want to address a few things about the mouth taping. I would encourage your viewers, regarding mouth taping, to make sure that there are not other underlying causes as to why they or their family member is mouth breathing. People most definitely should breath through their mouths and keep their tongue placed on the roof of their mouths, for the reasons that you stated, especially regarding oral health. However, some of the reasons that people are mouth breathers or snorers have to do with physical issues, such as their tonsils and adenoids being enlarged, or maybe they have deviated a septum and sinus issues or an enlarged uvula (that thing that hangs down in the back of our throats, or chronic allergies. Some people have tongues too big for their mouth or palate, due to very narrow face structure. If some of these people were to do mouth taping it could keep them from receiving enough oxygen. I do think that mouth taping is a good way to stop a mouth breathing habit, but people should definitely address the physical issues mentioned before deciding to do that. Oh and regarding just keeping the tongue on the roof of the mouth, If a person is severely tongue tied, meaning that the lingual frenulum; the little string that attaches the tongue to the base of the mouth is super short, they might be challenged to keep their tongue elevated. (They most likely should have the minor surgery to clip that thing). Anyway, keep spreading the great tips and the love. Cheers, Cindi
So helpful! Thank you. I have sinus issues at the moment which makes nose breathing quite hard. I'm taping whenever my nose is clear and slowly building up from there.
Thank you for this. I do appreciate videos that include a disclaimer about seeking medical approval from PCPs first to avoid people making changes that could result in dangerous consequences (mouth taping in this case).-
@Cindifitzgerald6948 your comment is super helpful and spot on! If a person is tongue tied, it is nearly impossible to hold the tongue on the roof of the mouth and physical obstructions will certainly limit one’s nose breathing capability. A person should definitely not mouth tape if these conditions are present! I am 62 years old and I had a frenuloplasty (or tongue tie release) and It’s made a huge difference in my overall health, including no more bruxism, no more acid reflux, reduced anxiety and deeper sleep. I mouth tape almost every night and I am a back sleeper.
I have to witness: I used to sneak my mother's Cosmopolitan magazines. I read an article where Diana Ross told beauty secrets. She said use silk pillowcase and *sleep on your back*. And here were thinking this is new😁
I LOVE how you just said to the mean people to keep their comments to themselves!! 🤣🤣 You go girl! You are right, it’s YOUR show and if someone doesn’t like that you get Botox and criticizes you for it, they can just be quiet and go away. I don’t think I will do Botox myself, but I love that you don’t hide it and how honest you are with your audience. You win me girl! I subscribed 😉
I'm a face sleeper. Turning 60 this year and always looked very young, but the last couple years, I've aged quickly. My husband is 20 years younger, and now I'm starting to look much older than him suddenly. I will do all the above!
Divorce him! I was with a younger man and it was the worst as I got older! I got tired of always being worried about how I looked. Being alone is far better.
@JillBergene we have been happily together for over 10 years. Why would I divorce my treasured husband who treats me so well. Ridiculous. Just because I want to look better for him doesn't mean that it's because of him. He is loving and wonderful.
@@libbysmithstudioI support you. That wasn't very kind of that woman. I understand wanting to look young and beautiful for your man. I'm sure you're absolutely lovely ❤
You look so good. My face is starting to sag and I am a stomach sleeper. I am 54. No real money for surgery, I will attempt to sleep on my back tonight. Wish me luck!
I've been doing facial exercises on and off for 30 years. I'm 70+ and always get compliments about how much younger I look. . Stumbled on the technique in an article from a magazine. It does work! Now it's all over and I'm learning more and applying new techniques with a better understanding. You're an awesome teacher. Thanks for sharing and best to you.
@@sn232 Search face yoga follow along. Sample different personalities cause you will prefer the delivery on some over others but it's really preference. Two things about face yoga 1. you need to switch up your routine so and not do the same thing all the time like with our body. and 2. you need to workout the whole face not just the problem areas. I notice a difference when I am consistent. I also sleep with a silicone patch on my forehead and keeps the wrinkles from getting worse.
I've only just come across you with this video and I cannot believe the problems you had with your teeth.. EVERYTHING you talked about..and the drooling 🫣 is what I've been going through..I always ALWAYS took care of my teeth,like you constantly flossing and brushing yet nothing I did stopped the problems I was having.. I'm a lot better now but only because of the extreme lengths ive gone to & antibiotic treatments,which I honestly didn't want, So THANK YOU for taking the time to make this video. Also the info for the Gua Sha and the massaging is exactly what I was going to look for. You have no idea how much you've helped me. You probably won't see my comment but just incase you do THANK YOU!!! You're a great girl.☮️💓🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏
Charlene I just found your channel, and already love you!! You rock sister!! 41 years young and noticing the signs of aging. It's like when I turned 40, some raging aging machine was turned on. Tried pretty much everything on the market, all the retinols, hyerlonic acid, ECT, and still the deep lines in my forehead are not improving, and slight crows feet. This is very helpful. Taking notes as I watch this.
I just found you on TH-cam today! I started listening to your podcasts 7 years ago! Seeing you on YT you look younger and yes your jawline looks more defined! Way to go! I love your content. I’m looking forward to see more from you on this platform ❤❤❤
I just love your authenticity, your down-to-earth attitude, and the way you share honestly what you like and what works for you! You crack me up, and I learn a lot. Thank you & you look beautiful!
Great advice, Chalene! Here's a couple things I do to keep my face as lifted as possible. Use a Jawzersize and do this simple exercise at least once a day. The next thing is an easy exercise. Clasp the fingers from both hands together and place your hands at the base of your scull by the top of your spine. Your elbows will be bent and raised above your shoulders. Now simultaneously push your head backwards against your clasped hands as you pull your bent elbows back. Do this 10x twice daily. This simple exercise helps to correct tech neck, eases shoulder stiffness and firms the front of your neck. Broadly speaking, anything you can do to increase blood and oxygen to your face will help you to look better. I have nothing against injectables and plastic surgery except the cost. But even if you have the disposable income to get professional work done it's smart to do what ever you can to take care of wonderful, amazing, unrepeatable you. ❤️
I’m 38 and noticed I was getting really jowly and growing a double chin. I used to wear a night guard for TMJ and was due to get a new one. Around the same time I was doing physical therapy for a knee issue and figured the same rules apply and strengthening the muscles around the joint just made more sense than babying it so I started chewing gum and not using a night guard. It’s been a few months and my jowls have decreased, my double chin is mostly gone and my TMJ pain has all but disappeared
Wow, thank you for this information. I have TMJ also in a terrible double chin at 63 years old no one has ever suggested giving me any help for my TMJ either. So thank you so much for your information on how the chewing gum has helped yours. I’m going to try this.
That is fantastic! I had a mouth guard for tmj that cost me $500 and really hated it. One morning recently it disappeared and I think I removed it while half asleep in the middle of the night, no idea where it went. Maybe the gum will work for me.🤔
This has been my life journey for the past couple months. The jaw, the moth breathing, the tongue position and back sleeping. Divine timing. Thank you for this, great topic. Yes! Please share more - thank you!
Hi, Chalene, I can't tell you what drew me to your video but I am so happy I clicked on it. I developed scoliosis because of a failed back surgery and for years I was unable to sleep on my back. As I was heading into my 71st year of life I developed osteoarthritis and needed a shoulder replacement on the right side which was the side I had been sleeping on. The pain was so great that I could not sleep on my right side any longer. I could not sleep on my left side because that is the side that my scoliosis was very pronounced on. To make a long story short, I was also suffering from chronic back pain. When I was forced to sleep on my back, unbelievably I noticed a decrease in my back pain. And 3 years later, my back pain is not chronic any more. I was never a mouth breather, but I did learn a lot about the exercises you were explaining to drain the lymphatic system in our faces and I started those today to see if they will help me with the bags I have under my eyes. I am planning to watch all of your videos because I am learning so much from you. God bless you and keep those videos coming.
I’ve always chewed gum all my life and it does help. I put my tongue at the roof of my mouth but also in between my top lip and teeth it really draws the bottom chin muscles up. I was taught to tap all over my face for a about a minute to stimulate collagen and use cold water to tighten face muscles. I’m enjoying videos such good advice. So glad I found you.❤
I slept on the sofa for 4 years so my daughters could have their own bedrooms, and as a result I have became a permanent back sleeper. I sleep like a vampire with my arms crossed or to the side, and I even sleep so still some nights all I have to do in the morning is lightly comb my hair and my morning skincare routine 😊 I also have been doing face yoga and lymphatic facial massage, I have 2 different sets of Gua Sha stones I purchased on Amazon. Sunscreen, proper hydration including electrolytes, good sleep hygiene, no smoking and limited alcohol consumption have also been a must for me.
Interestingly, being born with a Tongue Tie can also affect all the same issues you talk about in this video. At 57 yrs old, my new dentist informed me that I've been living with a tongue tie my whole life, and it completely affected where my tongue rested in my mouth, how my head jutted forward, and why it made it almost impossible to avoid mouth breathing due to how the roof of my mouth had grown. So. Who knew?!? Tongue tie is now clipped, and I am using an adult Myobrace device that is helping to train my tongue, move my teeth into a straighter position, and even reform my mouth. Thanks Chalene for this information. Am now adding back sleeping and face tape to the list!!! (and yes, I'm a tad pissed that it took 57 years to get help with this)
I understand! I am 71 and my story is just like yours! Going to get the tie snipped and sleeping with taped mouth. Roof of my mouth is so high! All could have been avoided with nose breathing but no one was talking about it.
There are so many people that have tongue and lip ties and it's connected to the MTHFR Gene mutation which means we are not able to process folic acid. It is like poisoning to us. We need folate. I would love to ask where did you get your tongue tie clipped because my 7-year-old has one as well. I should have clipped his when he was a baby.
@@terrelljustis I hear you! I have a very high arch, too. And the dentist explained that it means there's less room in my nasal area for air. I've had breathing issues all along, mild asthma, etc - I wonder how much is related to the shape of my air passages? That's why I am using the Myobrace.
@@AnneThaiHero It was done in my dentist's office, and relatively quick. You might ask your dentist about the Myobrace for your son, and be able to avoid costlier braces in the future...
I RECENTLY FOUND YIU BY JUST SCROLLING; I FOUND YOU ENERTAINING WITH LOTS OF BENICIAL INFORMATION ... & HERE I AM ... BACK AGAIN ENJOYING MORE GOOD I FORMATION !!! HAVE A WONDERFUL REST OF YOUR DAY & THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INTERESTING INFORMATION 💯🤗
Yes! Ive managed to stop sleeping in the face-down-murder-victim-chalk-outline position, and im well aligned as a side sleeper now...lots of pillows but my neck feels better and longer than it ever has. And i know that getting into consistently back sleeping is where it at. I would love a back sleeping episode please!
Well I’m still sleeping in the face-down-murder-victim-chalk-outline position. 😂😂😂 but I’m working on the back position now! If I can only get over the feeling as if someone’s watching me. The face up position just feels so exposed, but here goes!
Omg yes! Please do more videos on this!! I’ve totally noticed the puffier side of my face. I never correlated it to being the same eyebrow that is thinner!!! 🤯
Just a question-is it your left side? Reason I ask is bc my left side is def puffier and saggy, but I’ve read that it’s most likely due to that side being exposed, in my case, for decades, due to driving and that’s the side that is exposed to the sun. Not sure if that’s true.
When you sleep on your side you usually switch sides so you arent on one side...also your neck is not twisted because your whole body is on its side and is in alignment with your neck and face.
Hello Chalene! I am 64 years young and just happened upon your "Castor Oil" episode yesterday. And WOW you are so informative...even my husband watched and thought you were TERIFFIC! This episode was also extremely informative and SO WELL DONE!!! Thank you for the way you put together your segments. I love the expert clips you include and how down to earth you are... And, YES, I would love information on how to train myself to sleep consistently on my back consistently.
I bought jawliner gum from Amazon. It’s expensive but I don’t like chewing gum and because it’s very hard I only have to chew for 15 minutes to an hour to get the facial workout I’m looking for. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode as I’m constantly working to preserve my teeth and improve my facial features and sleep. I’d love further discussions on these topics. Thanks, Chalene!
Thankyou this was a great watch and I loved everything you said 😊I’m 54 too and will try these things you are suggesting as I think you look amazing ❤keep up the great work and bless you ❤
Due to Sleep Apnea, I've been sleeping in a recliner for the past 15 years with a horseshoe pillow on my neck. But I'm still a mouth breather, so thank you for this!
I have my own exercise I developed for a tighter face essentially a natural facelift and it doesn't cost a thing! I'm a 66 yo man with zero wrinkles or crows feet. I've been using my method for 20 years! I'll be posting it, in the near future.
I just found you! And I'm so glad I did. Turning 60 on leap year (or 15!) and have been discovering so many holistic modalities. Sound healing, rifing, scalar, bought a class on facial exercises and it came with a class on mewing! Thank you. I look forward to hearing more and will send this to my bestie!
Makes so much sense! I am a right side sleeper and I have teeth issues and gum issues, and my right eyebrow is lower than my left. Pretty sure I’m a mouth breather! Love this information!👏🏼
This video popped up in my feed… I’m so glad it did as I thoroughly enjoyed this, not just the information and suggestions but just your overall demeanour! I think you are absolutely fantastic and laid back and I’d love to see more of you! New sub here ❤❤❤
Yes please do the deep dive into sleep positions. I’m a side sleeper and that side of my face is lower than the other. I’ve tried sleeping in my back but I always end waking up on my side. So glad I found your channel, new subscriber here from Ireland. Thank you.
Oh my goodness, so many lightbulb moments for me from this episode Chalene...thank you!!! The left side of my face is totally more droopy, and that's the side I sleep on. 💡💡💡
Isn’t it crazy… I noticed when I started spending more time on my back that my eyelids weren’t as droopy. But I definitely can tell my right side is more droopy than the left and that’s because I spent 50+ years sleeping on my right side.😮
Yes I totally agree with you, I always used to sleep on my back but now since turning on my one side, that side of my face looks lower and more jowls on that side, but even my teeth look lower!!! Thanks for this!
Yes please do both!!!! I am so glad you did this video! I absolutely never thought about that and I absolutely need to be sleeping on my back now. My jaw is dropping and looks fat even though I am 120lbs ugh! And I’m 42 and feel like I’m 60 lol! Also would love a video on crepe skin!!!!!!!! I am noticing my skin is changing and I’m freaking out 🤣🤣 Thanks for all you do!! I appreciate you so much!
Skin care has gotten so good. I’ve been an esthetician for 23 yrs. if you are in Southern California, I’d love to offer you to try. I have something I do with zero down time, zero pain and corrects laxity anywhere on the body, hands, neck, face, eye lids, legs, knees. Corrects pigment, acne, acne scars, takes between 3-12 it’s a true skin care break though. Love the video. I do a treatment for fascia and lymph drainage called the get lifted to help with extreme tech neck tension release to help lifting and contouring. Thank you again for this information.
@@Imari0777So do I! As far as I’ve heard it may be related to sleep apnea, so you should definitely research that. Also, have you recently gained weight? I noticed it happened after I put on weight throughout the pandemic. I would wake up feeling like I wasn’t breathing when sleeping on my back. I also developed heartburn(due to medications I was on I think)and when it got really bad I would puke in my sleep! Waking up to getting choked out on very acidic puke was so scary.
I am a back sleeper . It took me a long time to train myself . But now I can’t sleep any other way it’s a game changer. On aches and pain and wrinkles . I also mouth tape
My teeth are literally falling out of my mouth! I also watched that podcast with Andrew Huberman, now listening to you, all the pieces are starting to fall into place. You have given me so much hope!!!
Gurl, I freaking love ya! Been listening to your podcasts from day one waaaay before the youtube podcast era begun. And so yesterday I started to research how to get rid of my second chin as I clearly have more of it than usual and I didint gain any weight. so I did the massage thing yesterday. Today whilst sipping my first coffee of the day your face popped up on my feed talking about the double chin and I was like “ok, thank you algorithm for pointing me to the person I actually trust.” Seeing you talk about all this solidified to me that I’m on the right path so thank you lovely. I remember the episode about REM sleep you did some years back, and that one did something to me too. For anyone who haven’t listened to it yet,go and check it out on podcast platforms. so yea, just wanted to say HI GURL and send some love to you as you truly are amazing ❤
OMG I looked at the side of my face that I sleep on and it so puffy compared to my other side. Been trying to sleep on my back since hearing this podcast, and I am struggling with this. Please post about how to train for back sleeping!😊
This was seriously illuminating...thank you! Definitely up for a deep-dive on mewing and sleep positions. I'm mostly a back sleeper but find myself needing some back relief during the night, so I turn onto one side. Had no idea that this may be the reason one side of my face is drooping! YIKES!
started mouth taping about a month ago. My lips look so much fuller and more feminine. Not noticing jawline yet. Am mewing all the time. Need to do back sleeping and continue to work on posture. Your results are amazing!
OMG! I love you and how you present this info! I'm hard on my skin, am 53, but my neck and jowls are needing some help! I could never afford a facelift or necklift, but I will try these suggestions to lift my jowls and shape my jaw a bit.
Dr Stephen Perkins in Carmel indiana amazing surgeon . Dr Michael Sadove also in with Dr Perkims I've gone to the very best breast augmentation and tummy tuck
I actually found you by accident! I was watching a different video on "facial folds" and I ran my mouse over to pause it and you appeared! I don't know how that happened but I'm glad it did! You are SO refreshing and fun and down to earth! I'm a senior lady who is handicapped and hardly mobile with 24/7 pain and it shows in my face a lot now. So I've been looking for "natural" ways to undo some of the pain wrinkles in my face and sagging skin due to lack of exercise. Thank you for research and sharing it with others. God bless you.
I have sleep apnea too and when I was getting my first mask I was a mouth breather and thought I needed the full mask but a friend told me to try a nose pillow mask instead of a full nose/mouth mask. I tried the nose pillow mask and the air pressure forced my mouth closed so I could only breathe through my nose. Now I breathe through my nose all the time even during the day. Hope this helps.
I've trained myself to sleep on my back & I do sleep much better. I'm guilty of not sleeping enough hrs, but the hours I'm asleep are well spent. My terrible shoulder pain is gone & I don't wake up with those sleep lines on the side of my face. I put a pillow under my knees & that helps to keep me from turning over.
The easiest way to learn to sleep in your back is to turn your pillow 90 degrees so that it is long ways. It should be down to the middle of your back. Not only does it help your back and neck from daily digital device use, but also when you try and sleep on your side, your face never gets squished by the pillow and helps to continue sleeping with your mouth closed. It takes a while to get used to, but it's the best for your back posture, mewing and facial wrinkles.
I want to sleep on my back but it is SO hard. i do find that in the mornings I always wake up on my back but I start on my side. Idk how much time I sleep on my side for. I bought a GREAT pillow that helps prevent the face smooshing if you are on the side. I would love to hear more info about your back sleeping techniques. Love listening to you. You're so real and genuine
Curious on the pillow also. I know some influencers promote the sleep and glow (I think that’s what it is called) but it’s $200. l wondered if there’s a better or other option or maybe this one is the bomb?? Idk. Would like honest feedback
As an older guy who has returned to a higher level of fitness with good results, this is many of the missing pieces to really complement a journey to great health! Thank you Chalene.
Hey Chalene, this is a really great topic! Thanks for sharing. You are spot on! Shaolin monks speak about this too. They talk about sleep positions & breathing properly for health & spiritual purposes. I think the health & spiritual work internally will always show externally. As the saying goes, beauty inside reflects on the outside. ❤
Ever since my 1st pregnancy 9+years ago I've trained myself to sleep on my back. I get far better sleep and tend to sleep through the night. On the odd night that I end up on my side I notice a very restless sleep of tossing and tuning. I've also been training myself to keep my mouth closed. This is a very helpful video!
sleeping on one's back in pregnancy is actually not recommended, as when you are closer to term, the weight of the baby compresses an artery that will reduce bloodflow to the baby. Side-sleeping is recommended in the later terms.
@@heidih3048 I suppose I didn't phrase this right. After the pregnancy, I was really tired of sleeping on my side and switched over to back sleeping. It took a lot of training to get used to staying on my back though.
I usually sleep on my right side, turned toward the wall against which my bed is pushed. However, last night I found myself sleeping on my back and it felt wonderful. I rested so peacefully. I am going to start cultivating back sleep.
Love every single one of your shows Chalene! I started doing exercises with my jaw and neck about six months ago and also listen to your taping for you. Keep your mouth closed while sleeping. I did it for a month like you did and I really feel it has helped and made a difference. I feel like my job line is much smaller and tighter, and I don’t know anymore, so thank you for everything that you give to us. Love you, girl mean it!❤
I love your podcasts. You are so real and honest when you share your views about plastic surgery, self care, nutrition, and fitness. Beauty always starts from within because it is really good health and self worth that shine through your eyes, skin, posture and attitude. But even with that, sometimes nature needs a little boost and if it makes you feel better that too will emanate through your body. Thank you for sharing this info and supporting those that need to choose a different path….like me, lol. At 66 I’m holding it together but I need a more strategic line of defense :). You are awesome though. I enjoy your podcasts
Love this! And great explanations of everything from a non-dental perspective. As a dental professional these are not things we learned in school and I’ve also done a deep dive the last few years as I discovered all of these issues with myself. If we would have known these things when I was a kid I wouldn’t be in the process of jaw surgery. Sleep apnea, adhd, anxiety here! 😞
I just turned 64. I am a remodeler and work very hard, but my face makes me sick and so do my old lady arms with their creapy skin and well almost everything else. I have been doing KETOVORE for about two months and have lost about 25 lbs and need to make myself over. Thank you for your help😢❤
OMG! This actually makes sense. I’m a side sleeper and I’ve always wondered why my the other side of my face seems to droop more than the other side. Thanks for this video. Love for your to have a deeper discussion about how to sleep better. 😍
I try to be mindful a lot of these things… For the last few months I’ve also been using a bolster pillow to make sure the sea curve in my neck doesn’t flatten. also been doing neck exercises and trying to strengthen the front muscles of my neck, bulking it up slightly so that those long sagging looking tendons have some structure behind them. You look great by the way! Oh and I also started. Started using oral Lift… Have you heard of that?
@@chalenejohnson it’s a little device that looks like a mouthguard… You get two of them. They provide online support for the program, The science behind it is similar to what you discussed in your video. They’ll set you back about $295. But I figure that’s relatively cheap compared to surgeries and treatments.It’s more difficult for some people to use than others because of jaw tension, can be more severe for some people. There are videos here on TH-cam about it i’ve only been using mine a couple of weeks, you start out using it for only about a minute twice a day and you woke up to an hour. You only use it three times a week with intervals of two days in between each day that you use it, you use it for about four months and then you take four months off. It’s really interesting and some of the results people have had our outstanding! Check it out :-)
@@KelliRivers Hi! I just found a random bolster pillow, they’re just cylinder shaped pillows, you can also use a soft towel rolled into a cylinder, sized to the comfort of your neck. When you first start using it, it will make you feel sore and stiff, so just use it for maybe 10 or 15 minutes at a time… If I try to sleep with it all night, it gets uncomfortable. The point is to use it intermittently to help reestablish AC curve in your cervical area. I DK how to share links, sorry! But physical therapy/chiropractic TH-cam channels show different exercises for improving posture, these include an exercise called chin tucks. I also looked up channels that show exercises for improving neck strength/thickness. I didn’t want to get a super bulky neck like a weightlifter, but something similar to fill out my scrawny neck! Lol seems to be helping a lot of hydration/moisturizer in that area as well. I hope that helps!
Wow you are gorgeous. The people who say they want to grow old gracefully typically say that because they are jealous and know they could never look anywhere near as good as you. I'm with you...take whatever steps necessary to keep yourself at your best. Age doesn't mean you have to give up on yourself.
Chalene, I can attest to what you are saying and these priceless tips are total game changers. Keep this content coming. ( p.s. I am subscribed and I did like this video 😂❤)
I've been sleeping on my back for a few years. I have one eyelid that is severely more hooded than the other. Guess what? That's the side I used to sleep on when I was a side sleeper. If you know any hacks for hooded eyes, please spill the beans! Love you❤
Hey, peptides and growth factor creams worked for my hooded eyes. I started with growth factors which are crazy expensive but the change was drastic, and now I just use peptide serums and tret but my eyelids have stayed in place. I had really hooded eyes and now I don’t. I’ve tried 2 different ones from Neocutis first and loved them the most but like I said they’re expensive. After I finished those, I tried a bunch of diff peptide serums, but my favs are from the Ordinary and Medik8. Just make sure you have a blend of different ones and use them consistently.
Just watched my 2nd podcast , Benefits of Castor Oil & this current one & found them to be so informative!! I subscribed immediately!! Looking forward to watching more of your podcasts! Thank You for being real & breaking everything down.
I love YOUR definition of aging gracefully! Also I have been mouth taping for two years. Even though I've watched multiple mewing videos I just don't get it but I bet YOU would explain it perfectly. Yes please. :)
Back sleeping, One pillow under each arm (soft, flatish), one pillow under your knees, one under your head. One month you'll be trained to sleep on your back. My ex-husband used to snore so I would always sleep on the left side of my face. The right side of my face started to drop faster and noticeably lower than the left side of my face. YES ON THE MEWING PLZ...Sleep on your back people.
Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C take whenever throat closes, but have you tried the arms on pillows both sides? Makes a real difference, may work. @@staceyater8761
Yes a deep dive on how to sleep on your back and also how to stop breathing with your mouth open? And snoring issues. Thanks !😉🥰 Your channel is really great. I am sadly out of the age range to actually enjoy the results of your suggestions. I am now 72 years old. I think for all intents and purposes I will however pass your channel onto my daughter & my grand daughters. Plus hopefully one day my great grand daughter will pick up on what you share. Its a fun thing to pass along to all my girls. So once again thank you for your efforts to help others to discover these very special helpers. After all we only get one face. 😉🥰
I am presently seeing a breathing specialist and he is teaching me to nose breath. He has also taught me how to exhale while talking. All your breathing even while your talking should be done through the nose. While you're talking you're exhaling, then when you stop talking, you breath through your nose. It certainly takes practice. Also it shows that mouth breathers age quicker because it increases their oxidative stress levels. Thanks for the video.
Love this episode!! Sharing it with my son who is obsessed with his jawline. Also want you to know I share your views about Botox and all the things! Why not?! I’m 55 and I dabble in all of it. It makes me feel good about me and I can face the world with more confidence.
All of your tips are AWESOME Charlene!! Also, sleeping in a pillow will compromise your posture too. I sleep completely flat on my back or I’ll put my pillow under my upper back to create a slight downfall head position while sleeping. It’s done WONDERS for my posture.
This video is incredible! Lol, all my questions answered. I'm 27 and already starting now after noticing my face changing from lack of proper breathing recently! Love this so much. Also love the nails!!💖
I can’t believe I came across this video! Thank you! My husband has been a mouth breather for so long and besides it being soooo unattractive now I know that it is unhealthy for him as well. He heard himself on a video he took while walking the dogs and videotaping them, and you could hear him breathing through his mouth, and I asked him “do you hear yourself”he said “that’s because I am walking” I said “no that’s how you always sound, it’s creepy”. I will try not to hurt his feelings and show him this video and try mouth taping him, or suggesting that he should do it. I have subscribed to your channel and I am only seven minutes into your video and this is awesome. I have come across a smart woman! Looking forward to the rest of this video and more videos in the future. By the way, you’re beautiful.🌹
I tried the back sleeping after nearly a lifetime of sleeping on my side in a fetal position with pillows surrounding me. I felt extremely vulnerable and found falling asleep and staying asleep a challenge which usually isn't a problem for me. I have heard from others that I know personally who have benefitted from transitioning to mouth- taping and back sleeping and want to learn more about it. Do you have references that can help people like myself (survivors of childhood sexual abuse are a fragile yet tough bunch!) transition gradually from side sleeping to back sleeping?
I am a mouth breather, and am on a journey to use my nose to breathe more and more. Its not easy as i get very congested at night. Its also easier for me to nasal breathe on my back. But I do believe we are meant to sleep in a variety of positions, and not just on our backs, but that's just my humble opinion. Most of us change thoughout the night, side to side to back.
Would you like deep dive episodes on “Mewing” and “Sleep Positions”?
I would love to know more about mewing 😍
Yes please! Sleep positions & Mewing !! Deep dive please!
Yes please
Yes! Please and thank you.
yes to both !
1. Sleep on your back
2. Mew (place your tongue on the roof)
3. Chew gum
4. Lymphatic massage
5. Breathe through your nose
6. View your phone at eye level
Thank you 🙏
Something I was thinking about it today as I was reading a magazine... what's the difference between looking down at your phone and looking down reading a magazine or book?
@bethpat9 the difference is the blu ray led light emanating from the cell phone screen. It does just as much damage to the skin as the sun, if not more, because we don't get burned like we do by the sun so we arent aware the damage is happening. The burn from the sun tells us to get out of the sun, with the cell phone we dont feel it. Also, people spend way more time on their cell phone than they ever did reading books.
Can’t stand when women lie about getting work done .
She def looks like she had lots of work done!
Part of the reason your teeth problems improved when you used Xylimelts for dry mouth is the xylitol in the mints. Xylitol is a calorie free sweetener actually PREVENTS cavities. So if anyone watching this video is going to take up gum chewing for the jaw line, they should get Xylital gum to add the cavity preventing benefits! I like PUR Gum with 100% Xylitol, because it has no aspartame.( IMPORTANT Note: xylitol is TOXIC to dogs, so make sure to keep anything containing xylitol away from your puppers.)
Have you tried the chocolate mint. So good
I recently bought that same gum after watching videos about the benefits of Xylitol. It tastes great but the flavor doesn't last long at all.
Wow did not knew about it! Thank you!
💯 Just a heads up to any who have IBS or other issues that maybe/prob sensitive to artificial sugars (ols). I can’t chew it or even use melts but wish I could. PS: mastic gum is also great for teeth and mouth muscles.
@@jmc8076 You can do Xylitol "pulling" or putting the crystals in your mouth, let them melt & just hold it in your mouth after you eat food or before bedtime so you alkalize your mouth overnight. I buy a 1lb bag of birch sourced xylitol & use those according to my food/caffeine intake.
I started sleeping on my back in 2021. My face has improved so much.
Well, you sure look beautiful 😍stunning, in fact! Well done 👏 ✔️ 🙏❤️
I wish I could but I can’t breathe, I’ve got lung problems.
God I can't sleep on my back, I've tried, I just don't fall asleep 😂
How did you make the change to start sleeping on your back?
All those years “on your back” that caused your problems in the first place!
Awesome observation. I’m a Chiropractor so I’m sharing with my patients all the time why sleeping on your back is important to your spine and muscles. And I will add face asymmetry to my list! Great observations!
I love it! Thank you for sharing!
Massive L❤VE and respect coming from this Michigan girl CEO-business leader, content like yours Chalene fuels me and my 50’s self, my conversations with the younger people I lead (mainly female) and is so needed! We are aligned on so many things, muscle, heavy weights, Botox, having hot bodies as we age and leading by example… on and on. From the beach body days, you became my gf, with your empowering programs (I now know that wasn’t you being healthy) to the public it was bad@ss. Love and adore you, so excited I found you here in TH-cam. 🔥💪😍
Yes. a chiropractor told me to sleep on my back due to back problems I was having. It takes time to train our bodies to sleep on back, but I have been doing it for 25 years now. Also decreases wrinkles and I always breath through my nose. 😊
Way too painful to sleep on my back...
@@Hunny1autry a 7inch incline sleep wedge and 2 or 3 firm pillows under your knees. It really helps.
New Subscriber here, I’m a 56 year old woman who can’t believe how much you’ve taught me in ONE video! Love you and will be doing ALL of this
So, did it actually work,Laura?
I was telling my patients to mouth tape 15 years ago - not for looks/the face, but for health/posture/good neural and myofascial communication, because the air is supposed to be heated (and treated) before it enters the throat, and 6-8 hours a day doing anything causes reticular fibres to strengthen the fascia too be in that position. Sleep position was one of those 'lectures' I found myself giving up to 10 times a day.... for over a decade. And MLD (Manual Lymphatic Drainage) was one of my specialties It's great to see you sharing the science. Great video
I am long time mouth breather 64, denture wearer now..lots of chronic ear problems..ive even had surgery, and tubes..not much improvement...I'm wondering if that could help with my ear issues..
You made my day watching this video. Thanks❤
Don't believe her so much .she has done so many plastic surgery
Lip injection and nose job . I have her DVD exercise years years ago and she is totally different than new look
What about those on CPAP? Any recommendations?
I've always been a gum chewer and I recently noticed my right side looks better than my left. I started to notice I chew on my right side a lot so I started chewing the gum intentionally on the left side to try and even out my jaw line. So weird, that I noticed that before I saw your video. Thank you Chalene!!
My father in law slept sitting up in a chair slouched to 1 side for a few years. At only 65 years old he had severe curvature of the spine and he can’t even take care of himself now at 72 because he can’t stand up very long or walk without a walker. It affects your entire body! Sleep right. ❤
So I started sleeping on my back when I got injured in a car accident in 2018. My physical therapist suggested using a bolster pillow under my knees to help take the strain off of my lower back and I’ve been using one ever since. It’s way more comfortable and I’ve definitely noticed a difference in my skin. No more hooded eyelids (I include peptides as well) and my chest skin doesn’t wrinkle anymore.
Isn't that crazy!!!!
What bolster did you get that worked for you?
Which bolster do you like?
Occasionally, I use a half cylinder shaped, memory foam, neck pillow under my knees. It has a velvet texture & doesn't slide away if I want to change positions. That's a good & equally frustrating feature.
I have a different one with a satin cover. This is similar to a greased pig. It pops out & slides away..
"Similar to a greased pig" That just made me laugh out loud..I'm at work & not busy and it's REALLY quiet😮..so now my colleagues think I'm loony!😂😂😂☮️🇬🇧
I've only watched your post twice... thank you it's brilliant. I do a lot of what you chat about already, but you give the finishing touch. I'm 73 years old and still making the effort to keep looking good.
Yes! An episode on sleep positioning training! This episode is so filled with great info!!
Hello Charlene , I am enjoying your content and your energy! I am a Speech Language Pathologist and just want to address a few things about the mouth taping. I would encourage your viewers, regarding mouth taping, to make sure that there are not other underlying causes as to why they or their family member is mouth breathing. People most definitely should breath through their mouths and keep their tongue placed on the roof of their mouths, for the reasons that you stated, especially regarding oral health. However, some of the reasons that people are mouth breathers or snorers have to do with physical issues, such as their tonsils and adenoids being enlarged, or maybe they have deviated a septum and sinus issues or an enlarged uvula (that thing that hangs down in the back of our throats, or chronic allergies. Some people have tongues too big for their mouth or palate, due to very narrow face structure. If some of these people were to do mouth taping it could keep them from receiving enough oxygen. I do think that mouth taping is a good way to stop a mouth breathing habit, but people should definitely address the physical issues mentioned before deciding to do that. Oh and regarding just keeping the tongue on the roof of the mouth, If a person is severely tongue tied, meaning that the lingual frenulum; the little string that attaches the tongue to the base of the mouth is super short, they might be challenged to keep their tongue elevated. (They most likely should have the minor surgery to clip that thing). Anyway, keep spreading the great tips and the love. Cheers, Cindi
Oh I love this so much Cindi! Thank you for sharing! 😍
So helpful! Thank you. I have sinus issues at the moment which makes nose breathing quite hard. I'm taping whenever my nose is clear and slowly building up from there.
Thank you for this. I do appreciate videos that include a disclaimer about seeking medical approval from PCPs first to avoid people making changes that could result in dangerous consequences (mouth taping in this case).-
@Cindifitzgerald6948 your comment is super helpful and spot on! If a person is tongue tied, it is nearly impossible to hold the tongue on the roof of the mouth and physical obstructions will certainly limit one’s nose breathing capability. A person should definitely not mouth tape if these conditions are present! I am 62 years old and I had a frenuloplasty (or tongue tie release) and It’s made a huge difference in my overall health, including no more bruxism, no more acid reflux, reduced anxiety and deeper sleep. I mouth tape almost every night and I am a back sleeper.
I have to witness: I used to sneak my mother's Cosmopolitan magazines.
I read an article where Diana Ross told beauty secrets.
She said use silk pillowcase and *sleep on your back*. And here were thinking this is new😁
I LOVE how you just said to the mean people to keep their comments to themselves!! 🤣🤣
You go girl! You are right, it’s YOUR show and if someone doesn’t like that you get Botox and criticizes you for it, they can just be quiet and go away. I don’t think I will do Botox myself, but I love that you don’t hide it and how honest you are with your audience.
You win me girl! I subscribed 😉
I recently started getting Botox and it’s amazing how cheap it is and how long and will the results lasted on me. (Just my personal experience)
I'm a face sleeper. Turning 60 this year and always looked very young, but the last couple years, I've aged quickly. My husband is 20 years younger, and now I'm starting to look much older than him suddenly. I will do all the above!
Divorce him! I was with a younger man and it was the worst as I got older! I got tired of always being worried about how I looked. Being alone is far better.
@JillBergene we have been happily together for over 10 years. Why would I divorce my treasured husband who treats me so well. Ridiculous. Just because I want to look better for him doesn't mean that it's because of him. He is loving and wonderful.
Men have (on average) 20% thicker skin than women, it’s so annoying that they look younger for longer when most don’t even care about it 😂😑
You can perform a TCA peel at home you can look 10 years longer, it works great and you can find many videos of DIY
@@libbysmithstudioI support you. That wasn't very kind of that woman. I understand wanting to look young and beautiful for your man. I'm sure you're absolutely lovely ❤
You look so good. My face is starting to sag and I am a stomach sleeper. I am 54. No real money for surgery, I will attempt to sleep on my back tonight. Wish me luck!
You can do it🎉❤
Yes, would love both episodes, the mewing and back sleeping!
I've been doing facial exercises on and off for 30 years. I'm 70+ and always get compliments about how much younger I look. . Stumbled on the technique in an article from a magazine. It does work! Now it's all over and I'm learning more and applying new techniques with a better understanding. You're an awesome teacher. Thanks for sharing and best to you.
What type of facial exercises do you use? Do you follow a specific person's routine?
🎉
@@sn232 Search face yoga follow along. Sample different personalities cause you will prefer the delivery on some over others but it's really preference. Two things about face yoga 1. you need to switch up your routine so and not do the same thing all the time like with our body. and 2. you need to workout the whole face not just the problem areas. I notice a difference when I am consistent.
I also sleep with a silicone patch on my forehead and keeps the wrinkles from getting worse.
@@YogawithAliBeale Do you know the brand of silicone patch that you use, or type you bought? Thank you for the video info!
I've only just come across you with this video and I cannot believe the problems you had with your teeth.. EVERYTHING you talked about..and the drooling 🫣 is what I've been going through..I always ALWAYS took care of my teeth,like you constantly flossing and brushing yet nothing I did stopped the problems I was having.. I'm a lot better now but only because of the extreme lengths ive gone to & antibiotic treatments,which I honestly didn't want, So THANK YOU for taking the time to make this video.
Also the info for the Gua Sha and the massaging is exactly what I was going to look for. You have no idea how much you've helped me.
You probably won't see my comment but just incase you do THANK YOU!!! You're a great girl.☮️💓🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏
I see you Kat! I'm so glad you find this episode helpful! 😘
Charlene I just found your channel, and already love you!! You rock sister!! 41 years young and noticing the signs of aging. It's like when I turned 40, some raging aging machine was turned on. Tried pretty much everything on the market, all the retinols, hyerlonic acid, ECT, and still the deep lines in my forehead are not improving, and slight crows feet. This is very helpful. Taking notes as I watch this.
I know, at 55 believe me it’s on full blast! 😂so do what you can now
Girl, You’re awesome! I’ve been working out, “answering the phone” and getting fit with you for years! Absolutely love you! Keep it up!
I just found you on TH-cam today! I started listening to your podcasts 7 years ago! Seeing you on YT you look younger and yes your jawline looks more defined! Way to go! I love your content. I’m looking forward to see more from you on this platform ❤❤❤
I just love your authenticity, your down-to-earth attitude, and the way you share honestly what you like and what works for you! You crack me up, and I learn a lot. Thank you & you look beautiful!
Great advice, Chalene! Here's a couple things I do to keep my face as lifted as possible. Use a Jawzersize and do this simple exercise at least once a day. The next thing is an easy exercise. Clasp the fingers from both hands together and place your hands at the base of your scull by the top of your spine. Your elbows will be bent and raised above your shoulders. Now simultaneously push your head backwards against your clasped hands as you pull your bent elbows back. Do this 10x twice daily. This simple exercise helps to correct tech neck, eases shoulder stiffness and firms the front of your neck. Broadly speaking, anything you can do to increase blood and oxygen to your face will help you to look better. I have nothing against injectables and plastic surgery except the cost. But even if you have the disposable income to get professional work done it's smart to do what ever you can to take care of wonderful, amazing, unrepeatable you. ❤️
Face yoga is the answer
@@people4peace999 I'm grateful that there's so many free, no invasive techniques we can use to save our faces!
Do you have a video of this?
@@akadiamond7 No. Maybe I should share my knowledge and experience in a video?
Well said !
I’m 38 and noticed I was getting really jowly and growing a double chin. I used to wear a night guard for TMJ and was due to get a new one. Around the same time I was doing physical therapy for a knee issue and figured the same rules apply and strengthening the muscles around the joint just made more sense than babying it so I started chewing gum and not using a night guard. It’s been a few months and my jowls have decreased, my double chin is mostly gone and my TMJ pain has all but disappeared
Wow, thank you for this information. I have TMJ also in a terrible double chin at 63 years old no one has ever suggested giving me any help for my TMJ either. So thank you so much for your information on how the chewing gum has helped yours. I’m going to try this.
This is why I like to read all the comments. There’s always comments that always help everyone else. Thank you so much.
holy crap its so simple ! my mom is gonna hate hearing this
That is fantastic! I had a mouth guard for tmj that cost me $500 and really hated it. One morning recently it disappeared and I think I removed it while half asleep in the middle of the night, no idea where it went. Maybe the gum will work for me.🤔
Thank you!
This has been my life journey for the past couple months. The jaw, the moth breathing, the tongue position and back sleeping.
Divine timing. Thank you for this, great topic. Yes! Please share more - thank you!
Divine timing for me too - I just noticed a new problem area on my jawline & it's got to be dealt with asap.
more? rlax. nobody real is checking out jaws, everyone here is tripping.
I think your reply was worthy of a like by the content creator BUT it wasn't...😮 It looks like everyone else's was though.

Hi, Chalene, I can't tell you what drew me to your video but I am so happy I clicked on it. I developed scoliosis because of a failed back surgery and for years I was unable to sleep on my back. As I was heading into my 71st year of life I developed osteoarthritis and needed a shoulder replacement on the right side which was the side I had been sleeping on. The pain was so great that I could not sleep on my right side any longer. I could not sleep on my left side because that is the side that my scoliosis was very pronounced on. To make a long story short, I was also suffering from chronic back pain. When I was forced to sleep on my back, unbelievably I noticed a decrease in my back pain. And 3 years later, my back pain is not chronic any more. I was never a mouth breather, but I did learn a lot about the exercises you were explaining to drain the lymphatic system in our faces and I started those today to see if they will help me with the bags I have under my eyes. I am planning to watch all of your videos because I am learning so much from you. God bless you and keep those videos coming.
YES PLEASE! Mewing and Sleep Positions! Thanks so much!
I’ve always chewed gum all my life and it does help. I put my tongue at the roof of my mouth but also in between my top lip and teeth it really draws the bottom chin muscles up. I was taught to tap all over my face for a about a minute to stimulate collagen and use cold water to tighten face muscles. I’m enjoying videos such good advice. So glad I found you.❤
Oh those are good tips! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
I slept on the sofa for 4 years so my daughters could have their own bedrooms, and as a result I have became a permanent back sleeper. I sleep like a vampire with my arms crossed or to the side, and I even sleep so still some nights all I have to do in the morning is lightly comb my hair and my morning skincare routine 😊
I also have been doing face yoga and lymphatic facial massage, I have 2 different sets of Gua Sha stones I purchased on Amazon.
Sunscreen, proper hydration including electrolytes, good sleep hygiene, no smoking and limited alcohol consumption have also been a must for me.
OMG I love this!
"I sleep like a vampire with my arms crossed or to the side" 😂😂😂
Love it. I am soon to be 71 and work in the age reversal industry, natural wellness & this info is priceless! ❤
Your hair cut/style is GORGE!!!!
Interestingly, being born with a Tongue Tie can also affect all the same issues you talk about in this video. At 57 yrs old, my new dentist informed me that I've been living with a tongue tie my whole life, and it completely affected where my tongue rested in my mouth, how my head jutted forward, and why it made it almost impossible to avoid mouth breathing due to how the roof of my mouth had grown. So. Who knew?!? Tongue tie is now clipped, and I am using an adult Myobrace device that is helping to train my tongue, move my teeth into a straighter position, and even reform my mouth. Thanks Chalene for this information. Am now adding back sleeping and face tape to the list!!! (and yes, I'm a tad pissed that it took 57 years to get help with this)
You had to endure that for a long time! But I'm so glad it has been corrected! Keep us posted!
I understand! I am 71 and my story is just like yours! Going to get the tie snipped and sleeping with taped mouth. Roof of my mouth is so high! All could have been avoided with nose breathing but no one was talking about it.
There are so many people that have tongue and lip ties and it's connected to the MTHFR Gene mutation which means we are not able to process folic acid. It is like poisoning to us. We need folate. I would love to ask where did you get your tongue tie clipped because my 7-year-old has one as well. I should have clipped his when he was a baby.
@@terrelljustis I hear you! I have a very high arch, too. And the dentist explained that it means there's less room in my nasal area for air. I've had breathing issues all along, mild asthma, etc - I wonder how much is related to the shape of my air passages? That's why I am using the Myobrace.
@@AnneThaiHero It was done in my dentist's office, and relatively quick. You might ask your dentist about the Myobrace for your son, and be able to avoid costlier braces in the future...
I RECENTLY FOUND YIU BY JUST SCROLLING;
I FOUND YOU ENERTAINING WITH LOTS OF BENICIAL INFORMATION ...

Yes! Ive managed to stop sleeping in the face-down-murder-victim-chalk-outline position, and im well aligned as a side sleeper now...lots of pillows but my neck feels better and longer than it ever has. And i know that getting into consistently back sleeping is where it at. I would love a back sleeping episode please!
Well I’m still sleeping in the face-down-murder-victim-chalk-outline position. 😂😂😂 but I’m working on the back position now! If I can only get over the feeling as if someone’s watching me. The face up position just feels so exposed, but here goes!
😂😂😂
It’s sooo comfortable though! 😢
try pillows under your knees too
it helps make it more comfortable
Lol. I can’t sleep on my back!!! 😢
Omg yes! Please do more videos on this!! I’ve totally noticed the puffier side of my face. I never correlated it to being the same eyebrow that is thinner!!! 🤯
You got it!
Just a question-is it your left side? Reason I ask is bc my left side is def puffier and saggy, but I’ve read that it’s most likely due to that side being exposed, in my case, for decades, due to driving and that’s the side that is exposed to the sun. Not sure if that’s true.
When you sleep on your side you usually switch sides so you arent on one side...also your neck is not twisted because your whole body is on its side and is in alignment with your neck and face.
Hello Chalene! I am 64 years young and just happened upon your "Castor Oil" episode yesterday. And WOW you are so informative...even my husband watched and thought you were TERIFFIC!
This episode was also extremely informative and SO WELL DONE!!! Thank you for the way you put together your segments. I love the expert clips you include and how down to earth you are...
And, YES, I would love information on how to train myself to sleep consistently on my back consistently.
I've been mewing for a few years and what a difference it has made. ❤
This is awesome! Tell me everything
Just learning...gives me hope!
You think its ok to mew even with dental braces?
I bought jawliner gum from Amazon. It’s expensive but I don’t like chewing gum and because it’s very hard I only have to chew for 15 minutes to an hour to get the facial workout I’m looking for.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode as I’m constantly working to preserve my teeth and improve my facial features and sleep. I’d love further discussions on these topics. Thanks, Chalene!
You are so welcome😘
If you want to preserve your teeth don't chew gum!
@@AbcAbc-br9kuit's actually good for your dental health to chew sugarless gum with xylitol. ❤
@@victorialove9104 it is actually not, it puts a strain on teeth and gums, it causes pockets. Gum is actually plastic and so also toxic.
Chewing gum is hard on crowns. They can become loose. Chew after you eat, for 15 minutes.. but no more.
Thankyou this was a great watch and I loved everything you said 😊I’m 54 too and will try these things you are suggesting as I think you look amazing ❤keep up the great work and bless you ❤
Due to Sleep Apnea, I've been sleeping in a recliner for the past 15 years with a horseshoe pillow on my neck. But I'm still a mouth breather, so thank you for this!

Sound healing, rifing, scalar, bought a class on facial exercises and it came with a class on mewing! Thank you. I look forward to hearing more and will send this to my bestie!
Makes so much sense! I am a right side sleeper and I have teeth issues and gum issues, and my right eyebrow is lower than my left. Pretty sure I’m a mouth breather! Love this information!👏🏼
Do training to sleep on back to breath through nose n
This video popped up in my feed… I’m so glad it did as I thoroughly enjoyed this, not just the information and suggestions but just your overall demeanour! I think you are absolutely fantastic and laid back and I’d love to see more of you! New sub here ❤❤❤
Yay! Thank you for subscribing!! Love ya, mean it!
Remarkable results! Nearly incredible and so rejuvenating. Makes the photos appear misplaced, incorrect order
Yes please do the deep dive into sleep positions. I’m a side sleeper and that side of my face is lower than the other. I’ve tried sleeping in my back but I always end waking up on my side. So glad I found your channel, new subscriber here from Ireland. Thank you.
I got you - here's the link th-cam.com/video/_aLY0nuiv5g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7kaU9bLXBePTPRVe
Get a beauty/face pillow.
Oh my goodness, so many lightbulb moments for me from this episode Chalene...thank you!!! The left side of my face is totally more droopy, and that's the side I sleep on. 💡💡💡
Isn’t it crazy… I noticed when I started spending more time on my back that my eyelids weren’t as droopy. But I definitely can tell my right side is more droopy than the left and that’s because I spent 50+ years sleeping on my right side.😮
Yes I totally agree with you, I always used to sleep on my back but now since turning on my one side, that side of my face looks lower and more jowls on that side, but even my teeth look lower!!! Thanks for this!
well this is a sign for you to start sleeping on your back again 😘
YES!! Please do a video about how to train yourself to sleep on your back.
Yes please do both!!!! I am so glad you did this video! I absolutely never thought about that and I absolutely need to be sleeping on my back now. My jaw is dropping and looks fat even though I am 120lbs ugh! And I’m 42 and feel like I’m 60 lol! Also would love a video on crepe skin!!!!!!!! I am noticing my skin is changing and I’m freaking out 🤣🤣 Thanks for all you do!! I appreciate you so much!
I’m so glad you like it!!!💕
I can’t sleep on my back because I get sleep paralysis for some reason.
Ha I’m 63 and feel 63, enjoy being 42 ❤
Skin care has gotten so good. I’ve been an esthetician for 23 yrs. if you are in Southern California, I’d love to offer you to try. I have something I do with zero down time, zero pain and corrects laxity anywhere on the body, hands, neck, face, eye lids, legs, knees. Corrects pigment, acne, acne scars, takes between 3-12 it’s a true skin care break though. Love the video. I do a treatment for fascia and lymph drainage called the get lifted to help with extreme tech neck tension release to help lifting and contouring. Thank you again for this information.
@@Imari0777So do I!
As far as I’ve heard it may be related to sleep apnea, so you should definitely research that.
Also, have you recently gained weight? I noticed it happened after I put on weight throughout the pandemic. I would wake up feeling like I wasn’t breathing when sleeping on my back.
I also developed heartburn(due to medications I was on I think)and when it got really bad I would puke in my sleep! Waking up to getting choked out on very acidic puke was so scary.
I am a back sleeper . It took me a long time to train myself . But now I can’t sleep any other way it’s a game changer. On aches and pain and wrinkles . I also mouth tape
My teeth are literally falling out of my mouth! I also watched that podcast with Andrew Huberman, now listening to you, all the pieces are starting to fall into place. You have given me so much hope!!!
So glad this helps!
Gurl, I freaking love ya! Been listening to your podcasts from day one waaaay before the youtube podcast era begun. And so yesterday I started to research how to get rid of my second chin as I clearly have more of it than usual and I didint gain any weight. so I did the massage thing yesterday. Today whilst sipping my first coffee of the day your face popped up on my feed talking about the double chin and I was like “ok, thank you algorithm for pointing me to the person I actually trust.” Seeing you talk about all this solidified to me that I’m on the right path so thank you lovely.
I remember the episode about REM sleep you did some years back, and that one did something to me too. For anyone who haven’t listened to it yet,go and check it out on podcast platforms.
so yea, just wanted to say HI GURL and send some love to you as you truly are amazing ❤
If you do lymph massage in the shower your fingers slide gently over your face... plus the water coming down on your face is refreshing.
I should try that!
I guess it's back to guasha
How long should it be done for?
@@lilarose9348 I do it Two or three minutes while I let my conditioner set on my hair.
OMG I looked at the side of my face that I sleep on and it so puffy compared to my other side. Been trying to sleep on my back since hearing this podcast, and I am struggling with this. Please post about how to train for back sleeping!😊
I have already posted a recent video about it! ☺️
This was seriously illuminating...thank you! Definitely up for a deep-dive on mewing and sleep positions. I'm mostly a back sleeper but find myself needing some back relief during the night, so I turn onto one side. Had no idea that this may be the reason one side of my face is drooping! YIKES!
Please do these shows because I need all the help. I'm gonna sleep on the back
Lymphatic drainage is something I do as a part of my face yoga routine. It works!
I couldn't agree more!
started mouth taping about a month ago. My lips look so much fuller and more feminine. Not noticing jawline yet. Am mewing all the time. Need to do back sleeping and continue to work on posture. Your results are amazing!
❤️❤️❤️
What kind if tape do you use
OMG! I love you and how you present this info! I'm hard on my skin, am 53, but my neck and jowls are needing some help! I could never afford a facelift or necklift, but I will try these suggestions to lift my jowls and shape my jaw a bit.
You got this sis!
Maggie Rose Health and dr Anil Rajini are both great
Dr Stephen Perkins in Carmel indiana amazing surgeon . Dr Michael Sadove also in with Dr Perkims I've gone to the very best breast augmentation and tummy tuck
I actually found you by accident! I was watching a different video on "facial folds" and I ran my mouse over to pause it and you appeared! I don't know how that happened but I'm glad it did! You are SO refreshing and fun and down to earth! I'm a senior lady who is handicapped and hardly mobile with 24/7 pain and it shows in my face a lot now. So I've been looking for "natural" ways to undo some of the pain wrinkles in my face and sagging skin due to lack of exercise. Thank you for research and sharing it with others. God bless you.
Yes, sure! Do the deep dives! Helpful episode ❤ I relate fully to all of this!
I want to try this but I have serious sleep apnoea and I fear mouth taping could literally kill me in my sleep.
I have sleep apnea too and when I was getting my first mask I was a mouth breather and thought I needed the full mask but a friend told me to try a nose pillow mask instead of a full nose/mouth mask. I tried the nose pillow mask and the air pressure forced my mouth closed so I could only breathe through my nose. Now I breathe through my nose all the time even during the day. Hope this helps.
I've trained myself to sleep on my back & I do sleep much better. I'm guilty of not sleeping enough hrs, but the hours I'm asleep are well spent. My terrible shoulder pain is gone & I don't wake up with those sleep lines on the side of my face. I put a pillow under my knees & that helps to keep me from turning over.
Do you sleep on a regular or a wedge? I want to make changes too.
That's amazing! How long have you been doing it?
I'm also 54, and I need this. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos! It really helps. My confidence needs it.😅
The easiest way to learn to sleep in your back is to turn your pillow 90 degrees so that it is long ways. It should be down to the middle of your back.
Not only does it help your back and neck from daily digital device use, but also when you try and sleep on your side, your face never gets squished by the pillow and helps to continue sleeping with your mouth closed. It takes a while to get used to, but it's the best for your back posture, mewing and facial wrinkles.
Thank you, my whole life I've had horrible insomnia and when I can sleep it's only on my side uggggg
OMG thank you for sharing!!!
I want to sleep on my back but it is SO hard. i do find that in the mornings I always wake up on my back but I start on my side. Idk how much time I sleep on my side for. I bought a GREAT pillow that helps prevent the face smooshing if you are on the side. I would love to hear more info about your back sleeping techniques. Love listening to you. You're so real and genuine
Thank you!! What pillow are you using?
Yes what pillow??
And I would love to hear you talk about sleeping, methods you've tried to get yourself on your back, etc
Curious on the pillow also. I know some influencers promote the sleep and glow (I think that’s what it is called) but it’s $200. l wondered if there’s a better or other option or maybe this one is the bomb?? Idk. Would like honest feedback
@chalenejohnson which pillow do you use for your back?
As an older guy who has returned to a higher level of fitness with good results, this is many of the missing pieces to really complement a journey to great health! Thank you Chalene.
you are so welcome!
You are very imformative. Found you recently. Lots of great information. I subscribed today
Hey Chalene, this is a really great topic! Thanks for sharing. You are spot on! Shaolin monks speak about this too. They talk about sleep positions & breathing properly for health & spiritual purposes. I think the health & spiritual work internally will always show externally. As the saying goes, beauty inside reflects on the outside. ❤
Oh I love that so much! Thanks for sharing!
@@chalenejohnson Thank you for sharing this info 💛
Ever since my 1st pregnancy 9+years ago I've trained myself to sleep on my back. I get far better sleep and tend to sleep through the night. On the odd night that I end up on my side I notice a very restless sleep of tossing and tuning. I've also been training myself to keep my mouth closed. This is a very helpful video!
sleeping on one's back in pregnancy is actually not recommended, as when you are closer to term, the weight of the baby compresses an artery that will reduce bloodflow to the baby. Side-sleeping is recommended in the later terms.
@@heidih3048 I suppose I didn't phrase this right. After the pregnancy, I was really tired of sleeping on my side and switched over to back sleeping. It took a lot of training to get used to staying on my back though.
@@katiedavis5861 ohh! makes sense!
I usually sleep on my right side, turned toward the wall against which my bed is pushed. However, last night I found myself sleeping on my back and it felt wonderful. I rested so peacefully. I am going to start cultivating back sleep.
Yes please!!!!!
Love every single one of your shows Chalene! I started doing exercises with my jaw and neck about six months ago and also listen to your taping for you. Keep your mouth closed while sleeping. I did it for a month like you did and I really feel it has helped and made a difference. I feel like my job line is much smaller and tighter, and I don’t know anymore, so thank you for everything that you give to us. Love you, girl mean it!❤
I love your podcasts. You are so real and honest when you share your views about plastic surgery, self care, nutrition, and fitness. Beauty always starts from within because it is really good health and self worth that shine through your eyes, skin, posture and attitude. But even with that, sometimes nature needs a little boost and if it makes you feel better that too will emanate through your body. Thank you for sharing this info and supporting those that need to choose a different path….like me, lol. At 66 I’m holding it together but I need a more strategic line of defense :). You are awesome though. I enjoy your podcasts
I am currently training myself to sleep on my back and would LOVE a whole video on your experience and tips/tricks!
Love this! And great explanations of everything from a non-dental perspective. As a dental professional these are not things we learned in school and I’ve also done a deep dive the last few years as I discovered all of these issues with myself. If we would have known these things when I was a kid I wouldn’t be in the process of jaw surgery. Sleep apnea, adhd, anxiety here! 😞
Thank you! I appreciate that so much! ❤️❤️❤️
🙏💕
Great, informative episode!! Lymphatic massage and face yoga..the combo works!!!
Whether it's your workout videos or these videos, you always put a smile on my face. Thank you for all you do!
Im so glad you like them!
I just turned 64. I am a remodeler and work very hard, but my face makes me sick and so do my old lady arms with their creapy skin and well almost everything else. I have been doing KETOVORE for about two months and have lost about 25 lbs and need to make myself over. Thank you for your help😢❤
OMG! This actually makes sense. I’m a side sleeper and I’ve always wondered why my the other side of my face seems to droop more than the other side. Thanks for this video. Love for your to have a deeper discussion about how to sleep better. 😍
I love it!
Charlene, the way you make real examples helps so much. As soon as you explain it, I get it😊
I try to be mindful a lot of these things… For the last few months I’ve also been using a bolster pillow to make sure the sea curve in my neck doesn’t flatten. also been doing neck exercises and trying to strengthen the front muscles of my neck, bulking it up slightly so that those long sagging looking tendons have some structure behind them. You look great by the way! Oh and I also started. Started using oral Lift… Have you heard of that?
That's a great tip! Tell me more about oral lift
@@chalenejohnson it’s a little device that looks like a mouthguard… You get two of them. They provide online support for the program, The science behind it is similar to what you discussed in your video. They’ll set you back about $295. But I figure that’s relatively cheap compared to surgeries and treatments.It’s more difficult for some people to use than others because of jaw tension, can be more severe for some people. There are videos here on TH-cam about it i’ve only been using mine a couple of weeks, you start out using it for only about a minute twice a day and you woke up to an hour. You only use it three times a week with intervals of two days in between each day that you use it, you use it for about four months and then you take four months off. It’s really interesting and some of the results people have had our outstanding! Check it out :-)
I bought a "beauty" pillow as well. Worth every penny!
Can you share a link to the type neck pillow you use? Also, what are the exercises you do? Thanks!
@@KelliRivers Hi! I just found a random bolster pillow, they’re just cylinder shaped pillows, you can also use a soft towel rolled into a cylinder, sized to the comfort of your neck. When you first start using it, it will make you feel sore and stiff, so just use it for maybe 10 or 15 minutes at a time… If I try to sleep with it all night, it gets uncomfortable. The point is to use it intermittently to help reestablish AC curve in your cervical area. I DK how to share links, sorry! But physical therapy/chiropractic TH-cam channels show different exercises for improving posture, these include an exercise called chin tucks. I also looked up channels that show exercises for improving neck strength/thickness. I didn’t want to get a super bulky neck like a weightlifter, but something similar to fill out my scrawny neck! Lol seems to be helping a lot of hydration/moisturizer in that area as well. I hope that helps!
Crazy I have already been doing all these things naturally...That is probably why I look good for 59😊
Me too! but i'm 54 😃People think im 40 .
Thank you so much iam 58 and I will start trying all these wish me luck I think you were very informative
Wow you are gorgeous. The people who say they want to grow old gracefully typically say that because they are jealous and know they could never look anywhere near as good as you. I'm with you...take whatever steps necessary to keep yourself at your best. Age doesn't mean you have to give up on yourself.
Yea…she is pretty.
Yes would love an episode on back sleeping
Chalene, I can attest to what you are saying and these priceless tips are total game changers. Keep this content coming. ( p.s. I am subscribed and I did like this video 😂❤)
Awwww! Thats so sweet! Thank you 😊
I've been sleeping on my back for a few years. I have one eyelid that is severely more hooded than the other. Guess what? That's the side I used to sleep on when I was a side sleeper. If you know any hacks for hooded eyes, please spill the beans! Love you❤
Oh my!! Thanks for sharing!
Hey, peptides and growth factor creams worked for my hooded eyes. I started with growth factors which are crazy expensive but the change was drastic, and now I just use peptide serums and tret but my eyelids have stayed in place. I had really hooded eyes and now I don’t. I’ve tried 2 different ones from Neocutis first and loved them the most but like I said they’re expensive. After I finished those, I tried a bunch of diff peptide serums, but my favs are from the Ordinary and Medik8. Just make sure you have a blend of different ones and use them consistently.
@@amberdenzHi Amber, what was the growth factors product you used, if you don't mind? Thank you!
iirc, there are some videos of face yoga exercises for hooded eyes
Mouth taping at night cured my adult onset asthma. Absolutely saved me. 💯
Amazing!
Just watched my 2nd podcast , Benefits of Castor Oil & this current one & found them to be so informative!! I subscribed immediately!! Looking forward to watching more of your podcasts! Thank You for being real & breaking everything down.
I love YOUR definition of aging gracefully!
Also I have been mouth taping for two years.
Even though I've watched multiple mewing videos I just don't get it but I bet YOU would explain it perfectly. Yes please. :)
Back sleeping, One pillow under each arm (soft, flatish), one pillow under your knees, one under your head. One month you'll be trained to sleep on your back. My ex-husband used to snore so I would always sleep on the left side of my face. The right side of my face started to drop faster and noticeably lower than the left side of my face. YES ON THE MEWING PLZ...Sleep on your back people.
You said it sis! I love this so much! 😍
I can't because my throat closes when I do.
Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C take whenever throat closes, but have you tried the arms on pillows both sides? Makes a real difference, may work.
@@staceyater8761
Any special pillows?
Seriously, I wish it were that easier though. 🥺 it all goes to heck when nighttime comes around and a good sleep is crucial! 😅
Yes a deep dive on how to sleep on your back and also how to stop breathing with your mouth open? And snoring issues. Thanks !😉🥰
Your channel is really great. I am sadly out of the age range to actually enjoy the results of your suggestions. I am now 72 years old. I think for all intents and purposes I will however pass your channel onto my daughter & my grand daughters. Plus hopefully one day my great grand daughter will pick up on what you share. Its a fun thing to pass along to all my girls. So once again thank you for your efforts to help others to discover these very special helpers. After all we only get one face. 😉🥰
Oh that means a lot to me Patricia! Thank you for being here!
I am presently seeing a breathing specialist and he is teaching me to nose breath. He has also taught me how to exhale while talking. All your breathing even while your talking should be done through the nose. While you're talking you're exhaling, then when you stop talking, you breath through your nose. It certainly takes practice. Also it shows that mouth breathers age quicker because it increases their oxidative stress levels.
Thanks for the video.
Love this episode!! Sharing it with my son who is obsessed with his jawline. Also want you to know I share your views about Botox and all the things! Why not?! I’m 55 and I dabble in all of it. It makes me feel good about me and I can face the world with more confidence.
Oh I love that so much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
All of your tips are AWESOME Charlene!! Also, sleeping in a pillow will compromise your posture too. I sleep completely flat on my back or I’ll put my pillow under my upper back to create a slight downfall head position while sleeping. It’s done WONDERS for my posture.
That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
@@chalenejohnson you’re welcome‼️
This video is incredible! Lol, all my questions answered. I'm 27 and already starting now after noticing my face changing from lack of proper breathing recently! Love this so much. Also love the nails!!💖
ME TOO!
I can’t believe I came across this video! Thank you! My husband has been a mouth breather for so long and besides it being soooo unattractive now I know that it is unhealthy for him as well. He heard himself on a video he took while walking the dogs and videotaping them, and you could hear him breathing through his mouth, and I asked him “do you hear yourself”he said “that’s because I am walking” I said “no that’s how you always sound, it’s creepy”.
I will try not to hurt his feelings and show him this video and try mouth taping him, or suggesting that he should do it. I have subscribed to your channel and I am only seven minutes into your video and this is awesome. I have come across a smart woman! Looking forward to the rest of this video and more videos in the future. By the way, you’re beautiful.🌹
I tried the back sleeping after nearly a lifetime of sleeping on my side in a fetal position with pillows surrounding me. I felt extremely vulnerable and found falling asleep and staying asleep a challenge which usually isn't a problem for me. I have heard from others that I know personally who have benefitted from transitioning to mouth- taping and back sleeping and want to learn more about it. Do you have references that can help people like myself (survivors of childhood sexual abuse are a fragile yet tough bunch!) transition gradually from side sleeping to back sleeping?
Maybe try a weighted blanket
@@bonniewinget3503 I thought of that too, thank you. I can try that when it isn't the heat of summer.
@@alivanzI think that is my main problem with that sleeping as well. I just feel too vulnerable. Looking forward to see if you get any more answers.
I am a mouth breather, and am on a journey to use my nose to breathe more and more. Its not easy as i get very congested at night. Its also easier for me to nasal breathe on my back. But I do believe we are meant to sleep in a variety of positions, and not just on our backs, but that's just my humble opinion. Most of us change thoughout the night, side to side to back.
