For 30 days, I dedicated myself to doing a gut healing protocol. I eliminated certain foods for a short window and gently started to add stuff back in. ⁣
⁣
In my latest video, I sat down and gave GREAT detail about what supplements I have been taking and what exactly they do for the body!⁣
⁣
These supplements ASSIST (not replace) the whole FOODS that I eat to heal the gut and hormonal issues I was experiencing.⁣
⁣
Tap the link in my bio (@thefitnessjem) to watch the full video. What supplements are you currently taking that support recovery and healing?!✍🏽

#SwipeLeft This weekend, hubs let me “interview” him to ask questions about his experience dating a black woman, ME! ⁣
⁣
This conversation ended up being very fun and unexpectedly emotional.⁣
⁣
GOD! I love my husband so much and for so many different reasons. I have truly been blessed with a partner who WORKED to get me and who STILL works to keep me!⁣
⁣
This convo was a 𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆 one. To see the FULL 40 minutes (yes you read that right), hit the link in my bio (@thefitnessjem) to laugh and cry too!⁣
⁣
P.S. I said that if the video reached 200 likes I would do a video about my experience dating a white man. THIS HAS BEEN THE FASTEST LIKED VIDEO IN THE HISTORY OF OUR CHANNEL! Needless to say, I will be making my video soon.⁣

It’s okay to cry!⁣
⁣⁣
It’s okay to sincerely apologize!⁣
⁣
It’s okay to get help!⁣
⁣⁣
None of these things are a sign of weakness!⁣
⁣
They are a sign that you are developing the fruit of “self control”. Introspection is the name of the game!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I wish I handled every situation with as much class and grace as I desire but I drop the ball at times. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’m learning and working on forgiving myself when I’m mean and void of grace. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As long as I am living I WILL be changing and learning!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
After all... I am LOVED!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
S/O to @nae2curly for this super comfy and cute crewneck & @ImSoEST for the visuals!⁣⁣

#ActOfObedience. I’m taking on clients while I’m here in Memphis. I offer FAITH-BASED personal training. Together, we will be addressing faith and fitness issues (so some of my recommendations might be a little unorthodox). If you tap the link in my bio, all the info is provided (fees, commitment, what to expect, etc).⁣
⁣
Honesty moment: I have stepped away from personal training for YEARS believing that I wasn’t enough (along with a list of other reasons I talk about on my podcast). I now FIRMLY know that is the furthest thing from the truth.⁣
⁣
⁣
I casually mentioned that I was going to start training again to the women who receive my newsletters (I even had a couple reach out). However, I’m my heart I was still uneasy.⁣
⁣
⁣
Now I’m boldly declaring this is what I’m offering, and if you are ready to do the work, then my mind, body, and spirit are totally submitted!⁣

Hiya, I’m Jená 👋🏽! I wanted to formally introduce myself to those of you who are new to my IG tribe and tell you a little about myself!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1. I’ve been rocking a fade for 3 years, and I honestly don’t know when I’ll be growing my hair out.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2. My FAVORITE ice cream of all time is black walnut.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
3. I randomly burst into full out dance routines in public constantly. #NoShame⁣⁣
⁣⁣
4. My husband is my best friend.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
5. I’m not into yoga, horoscopes, psychics, or any new age practices. 🤷🏽‍♀️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
6. My husband quit his job (with nothing lined up) at the beginning of the summer, and we moved from #Detroit back to #Memphis and in with my in-laws (I love them so much). God has been so faithful to us in this season, and we’ve been documenting and sharing our journey on YouTube.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
7. I actually have TWO YouTube channels. I have a holistic lifestyle channel (Jená Emily Utley) AND a channel that I share with my husband (Jená + John TV). Sometimes people get confused because they think it’s all one channel, so they can’t find certain of my videos.⁣⁣ You can find links to both in my bio (@thefitnessjem)
⁣⁣
8. I love encouraging and celebrating people! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
9. I’m a pretty straight shooter. #LetMeKnowHowYouReallyFeel. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
10. I’m a digital creator that loves to talk about holistic wellness & sustainable living, my faith in Jesus, my entrepreneurship journey, marriage, and traveling the world with my hubby bear!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
11. I got my bachelors in Exercise Science and my masters in Exercise Physiology. I love fitness, and I’m so fascinated with how the body works which is how I ended up being a fitness trainer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
12. I’ve been married for 5 years, and my parents have been “mentioning” grandkids for a while now 👀. Y’ALL 👏🏽GONE 👏🏽GET 👏🏽GRANDKIDS 👏🏽WHEN 👏🏽Y’ALL👏🏽GET 👏🏽EM👏🏽. In all seriousness, I have the best parents and I’m excited for them to meet our kids one day in the distant future👀😂.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Your turn! I want to know at least one fun and interesting fact about you!⁣⁣

Operation detox my ENTIRE life is underway! After my period disappeared in 2017, I started getting more serious about all the ways I was introducing toxins into my life.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I trashed so many beauty and hygiene products that were straight trash and started doing research to replace them with solid non-toxic & clean products.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One product I’ve been on the hunt for is a CLEAN primer. I was ELATED when @rencleanskin sent me over their Perfect Canvas Clean Primer to try!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Not only is the packaging recyclable (y’all know how I feel about saving the 🌎 & 🐢), but it's also formulated with natural bio-actives, including probiotics to help lock in moisture, blue agave to help smooth skin and minimize the appearance of pores, and alpha-glucans to help keep skin looking healthy. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
YES to a primer that has active skincare ingredients!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Silicon Free 👌🏽⁣⁣
Nut Free 👌🏽⁣⁣
Gluten Free 👌🏽⁣⁣
Cruelty Free 👌🏽⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve been testing this bad boy out for close to 2 weeks, and I’m going to keep testing, especially since the seasons are changing here in the US. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I wish it was formulated without a fragrance, but so far so good! 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 IG stories 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞. ⁣⁣

"How do you get back in God's presence when you have been out of it for so long? I just feel guilty and that I don’t deserve to even talk to him. Thanks for your response, sis.”⁣
⁣
This is a question that I was asked last week! A beautiful young women sent me a DM to hear my thoughts. What a phenomenal question. I am grateful that she found the courage to step out to ask.⁣
⁣
I knew when I read the question that other women might be feeling the same way, and I wanted to answer her back in a way that encouraged both her and others...⁣
⁣
If this question resonates with you, someone you know, or you are interested to hear what I have to say on the matter, check out the latest podcast episode! Tap the link in my bio (@thefitnessjem) and swipe to the podcast page).⁣
⁣
How do you build your intimacy with God when you feel distant from Him?!⁣

This is something I have been brewing on for a while, and I’m TIRED of overthinking it and second guessing myself!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
This is me taking a step of faith and believing that God will show me what’s next as I walk.⁣
⁣
So, #Memphis where you at?⁣
⁣
I’m hosting a private faith-based workout! My very first Warfare Workout Live!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
God tells us that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal BUT mighty. HOWEVER, we don’t fully know what our spiritual weapons are OR how to activate them.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
This is where we will learn how while we sweat! FUN RIGHT?! This workout is going to be a little different…⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
• 𝐍𝐨 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐞𝐬⁣⁣ • 𝐍𝐨 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 ⁣⁣ • 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐕𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐬 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲⁣
⁣⁣⁣
We will have a 45 minutes workout followed by 45 minutes of real, honest, and transparent talk. It’s time to get real so we can fully heal!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I’ve learned from my experience as a trainer that NO DIET OR WORKOUT PLAN can replace the internal work that needs to happen in order to sustain outward gains and healing.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
If you are constantly stressed, holding on to hurt, stuck in offense, dabbling in sin, the workouts and diet plans alone WILL NOT LAST! ⁣
⁣
Let’s work!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
This will be an intimate event #WomenOnly. ⁣
