Your Body Is Digesting Collagen - Not Delivering It

Collagen is one of the biggest selling supplements on the market right now, and if you're a woman in perimenopause or menopause, it's being marketed at you hard. Younger skin. Stronger nails. Thicker hair. Healthier joints. But what if the most fundamental claim behind every one of those promises is based on a misunderstanding of basic biology?

In this episode, I'll cut through the noise with the evidence - including the inconvenient truth about who is funding most of the research - and makes the case for what genuinely supports your body's collagen production from the inside out.

In this episode:

• Why collagen supplements are digested like any other protein, and why your body decides where those amino acids go, not the label on the tub
• The four collagen myths the wellness industry doesn't want you to question
• What the independent research actually shows - and why it looks very different from the industry-funded studies
• The cofactors your body cannot make collagen without, and why you're probably already getting it wrong

• A clear, practical food-first framework for supporting your skin, joints, nails, and bones through menopause and beyond

If you've ever stood in a health food shop wondering whether the collagen is worth it, this episode is your answer. x
