Realistically, no one is going to “consult their physician” about this—they’ll just give it a try.

I use collagen to help with my joints due to genetic osteoarthritis and my Cerebral Palsy.Having lovely skin is a bonus.

I’m taking marine collagen for approximately 4 months and OMG the results are fantastic. Original took it for skin elasticity as I’m in my 40s and starting noticing a few wrinkles appearing. My skin now is much plumper and I have a definite glow. Don’t wear makeup most days and am asked have I started Botox 🤣 Also my hair has absolutely strengthened and a lot less frizzy and minimal hair loss(unlike before) Never had an issue with my nails but they are definitely stronger. An added bonus off no more achey bones and muscles after workout. Highly recommend taking collagen, it has certainly worked for me 😊

Would you be able to talk about makeup removers?
Like, oil cleansing, micellar water, the type that's just like a liquid you pour onto a cotton ball, makeup wipes, etc.
I feel like I've heard a lot about different types of makeup removers and I'm not exactly sure what the pros and cons are of each type.
Also double cleansing? I didn't think I needed to double cleanse because I don't wear makeup on a daily basis, but now I've read that you should still do it to help break up oil and sebum and SPF.
Thanks! Your videos have been really helpful and informative.

I think the importance of collagen goes beyond just supple skin (and obviously joints, etc). Most cultures that eat meat or fish eat the whole animal (thus consuming more collagen rich sources of protein in the process). We tend to focus more on Muscle meats in Western culture and with it we miss a lot of the balance of amino acids you get when you consume everything (which is also less wasteful). I've read and listened to nutritionists who say it is important to get a good balance of Glycine in Relation to Methionine. So adding in collagen to the diet (or eating more sources of it) is probably a good idea.

This is a big jumpstart helper for people like me. I cannot and will not ever be able to take in everything I need as a gastric bypass patient. Thank you.

Most physician’s don’t care how you better yourself with natural things. They want your money.

Great video! The problem with “talking to your physician” is that in my experience 99% of them just want to shove some pharmaceutical drugs down your throat and have no understanding of holistic health, nootropics, biohacking, etc. Hence, why people end up on YouTube 😂

[olivegarden]

I think it’s amazing, that you don’t recommend any brand. Your integrity is a rare thing. Huge respect for that. And it’s really nice to listen to you

You’re looking so beautiful Kenna! Glowy 😚

Actually only 8 to 12% absorption rate has been demonstrated by those studies. Plus quite often the supplement will end up in hair, nails and bones.
