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.

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.

Collagen being so large, if you put it on the surface of your skin, it's just going to sit there. It's not going to absorb into your skin and it's not going to make your skin any more youthful. So the first thing I recommend is staying away from collagen creams. I mean, if you want to spend the extra money for it, that's fine, but essentially it's just going to be a fancy moisturizer.

There are physician, traditional physicians. There are like athletic trainer types, you know, who fashion themselves as nutritionists and things, and then just lay people.
