I think there's definitely a big trend towards protein that people don't realize how protein deficient we are, especially as we get older and with sarcopenia. But I would like to pivot towards collagen if that's okay. Can I interject before you pivot into collagen? Sure.
We can go into that. We can go into that later on. Yeah.

Well, and I think, and what you're hitting too is that a lot of this overlaps, you know, and so you're talking about ultra processed foods and ultra processed foods actually are super important when you look at free radicals and oxidation that a lot of people don't realize, you know, and when you're talking about

um you know with also with inflammation and with having whole foods versus some of these ultra processed foods the idea really is is that you want to get back to that that diet that i mentioned earlier where you can actually name like what that food is made out of versus these products that you don't even know what they're constructed of and it's the idea of hyper palatability but the fact is is that there is a difference between the food that you eat that's natural that

Really, in some ways, nature has made food so that naturally you're not going to overeat it. So how often do you have a bowl of strawberries and you overeat those strawberries? How often do you have chicken and you just overeat necessarily just chicken?

Whereas you get a can of potato chips or a bag of popcorn or French fries, and it's so much easier to overeat those because they're hyperpalatable. They're literally scientifically... made for you to overeat them so that they can essentially make more money off of you. And so, yes, I think when you're looking at nutrient depletion, it's a very simple thing to look at, but it's so, so important.

So, you know, I mentioned earlier collagen, 70 to 80% of the thickness of what your skin is made out of is composed of collagen. We lose the collagen literally 1% every year. So how do you then replenish the collagen? Well, once again, like I mentioned earlier, protein. Collagen is a large protein.

And some people ask me, they'll say, well, if I take a collagen supplement and I use a collagen cream, is that going to replenish the collagen in my skin? Well, collagen is a large protein. And the first thing I want your readers, I'm sorry, your listeners to know is that collagen creams make zero sense, okay? Collagen is a large protein. Our skin is a barrier and it's made to keep things out.
