In this episode we're breaking down exactly what collagen is, how it works inside your body, and why it's become one of the biggest conversations in health, fitness, and longevity.
We explain:
• Why collagen production drops after your 20s
• The difference between Type I and Type II collagen
• Why collagen helps joints, cartilage, tendons, skin, and connective tissue
• Why collagen protein DOES NOT count toward your daily protein goals
• Why movement makes collagen work better
• How much collagen you actually need each day
• What to look for (and avoid) when buying a collagen supplement
If you've ever wondered whether collagen is just another wellness trend or one of the few supplements actually backed by solid science, this episode is for you.
