Jen Selter Invites Fans To Join Her ‘No More Pill’ Adventure
On Friday, the social media sensation shared a video titled “Me On My ‘No More Pill Adventure.’” The video shows her making the bed and instantaneously changing into a blue gym fit. She then shows her followers how she prepares her breakfast, which consists of yogurt, fresh fruit, and seeds. She eats her breakfast while working on her computer before heading to the gym.
In this clip, Jen puts on her very own brand of resistance bands as she shows her followers several different leg exercises that they can perform. At the end of her video, she stretches out her body in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows that give her followers a gorgeous view of the city below her.
In the caption of her Instagram video, which was set to an instrumental version of Doja Cat’s hit song “Paint The Town Red,” Jen wrote, “Week 2 of birth control after 15 years, and let me tell you, I’m diving deep into that hormone-balanced life. Started the day with a coconut yogurt bowl packed with fruits, nuts, and bee pollen.”

“Set my intentions and got a workout in. It’s so nice not having to set that 4 p.m. pill alarm anymore!” she continued. “I knew it was time to go off when my tests came back—my liver said, ‘Enough of this BC thing.’ I always thought I needed the ‘perfect time’ to make the change, especially since my schedule is all over the place. But the truth is, there’s never a ‘perfect time.’”
“I’ve been curious about cycle syncing, so I’m diving into research and studying up. I’m all ears for your tips and stories,” she added. “This is all about giving my body the reset it deserves. I’ve come to realize that BC was kinda like a band-aid for my cramps and migraines, and it’s time to heal from the inside out. So here’s to making moves and tuning into what our bodies really need. Stay tuned.”

Many fans took to the comments to share their own stories. “Omg! I’ve been considering going off soon been about 10 years but I’ve heard nightmare stories. It’s glad to hear you’re doing good off of it! I was nervous I’d have real bad side effects,” one fan commented.
“I was on the pill for 12 years and as soon as I got off, I felt so much better! I can’t really pinpoint the feeling exactly, but my body felt lighter although my periods were a bit heavier - the only downside but I’m so glad I got off the pill,” another follower wrote.
“Omg! I was on mine for 8 years, and I went off it 1 year ago and I feel SO much better! Way less hot flashy, less hypochondriac ‘medical scares’ and I’ve noticed less water retention too. If anyone is debating going off their pill I 100% recommend!” a third fan chimed in.
“I just did this too! 3 weeks without after 19 years! How are you handling all the hormones and emotions? I’m extremely tired all the time,” another follower wrote. “oh wow 19 years you beat me! Some days I have so much energy other days I’m tired or have slower mornings!! But I do feel less foggy!!!” Jen replied.
