HELP YOUR CLIENTS BOOST THEIR NATURAL COLLAGEN EVEN AFTER 40

COLLAGEN IS NOT A FOOD

The current 'protein mania' nutrition trend is lying to you. Collagen is not a food, collagen is not a nutrient and collagen is not an essential human supplement. Collagen is a protein made in the body using amino acids, vitamins and minerals supplied by the diet. 

Not only do certain foods help the body to build collagen but some dietary patterns - looking at you meat, grain, fat and dairy-based Western diet - can DESTROY collagen. The collagen supplement pushers are not telling anyone this...

THIS IS WHY AS A SKIN-HEALTH PRACTITIONER YOU NEED ALL OF THE FACTS SO YOU CAN...

🧬 HELP YOUR CLIENTS BOOST THEIR COLLAGEN EVEN IN MENOPAUSE

After age 30 collagen production starts to nosedive thanks to faltering Estrogen and other causes such as a diet rich in collagen destroying foods and lacking in collagen building foods. Collagen loss can be slowed down with an intelligent plant-based diet rich in phytochemicals

🥩 STOP YOUR CLIENTS FROM ACCIDENTALLY DESTROYING THIER COLLAGEN WITH POOR DIETARY CHOICES

There are foods and dietary patterns that destroy collagen. Structural proteins in the body are constantly undergoing renewal so collagen will also be broken down and rebuilt BUT certain foods can speed up collagen destruction and phytochemicals from plant foods or botanicals can slow it down or even stop it.

DID YOU KNOW...

That proteins are 'species specific' which means that the HUMAN body cannot use collagen from a cow, pig or fish. The collagen supplement has to be broken down into peptides then single amino acids before if can even pass through the gut wall into the blood stream.

Anyone telling you that their collagen supplement can 'bypass the digestive system' is not telling the truth.

The amino acids used to make HUMAN collagen come from delicious plant foods like avocados, spinach and bananas. Special cells in the skin then build the collagen proteins from these amino acids + vitamins and minerals. Collagen production in the body is very complex business. You'll learn all about this on this Collagen Biosynthesis Masterclass

NATURE MADE THIS SOPHISTICATED 'HUMAN COLLAGEN FACTORY' FOR A REASON. THE BODY KNOWS WHAT TO DO WHEN IT HAS THE RIGHT MATERIALS SUPPLIED IN THE DIET.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY ABOUT THIS CLASS

I loved this course, it was packed full of incredible information and I now feel confident to help my clients even more so with their collagen production.
Tabitha
Thank you for the masterclass! It was packed with so much information.
Olga
This class was amazing for learning what foods to incorporate in your diet to improve collagen production and defend against ageing skin!
Caitlin
I learned the key components of the diet that are necessary to create collagen and prevent breakdown.

As a women's holistic practitioner, specialising in natural face lift massage treatments, I wanted to learn more about skin nutrition and this course will be so helpful for me to educate my clients. Excellent information, thank you.
Nicola Johnstone
This has been one of my favorite classes. It was really detailed and explained step by step how to prevent collagen loss and all the ways in which collagen is destroyed. Loved the ORAC section as well as the detailed coverage of Glycation Inhibitors. Great class in understanding all the ways collagen is affected by not only diet but also cooking methods.
Donna Zigmantanis
The 'A ha' moment for me was learning that firstly, I do not need to buy any collagen supplements as I can get all the requirements my body needs from eating the right type of foods. Secondly, the real 'a ha' moment was learning that if you take a collagen supplement which states it is for skin, it doesn't mean that our body will use it to regenerate skin, as it needs to be broken down before it can be used, and our bodies then decide where in the body it should be utilised depending on the greatest need.
Amanda
I learned so much that it’s hard to list everything specifically. One thing that stands out is that the omega 6/3 ratio parallels with autoimmune issues. I’m also a certified wellness and fertility coach and I’ve not seen this specifically.

I am grateful that I now know how "collagen" powder are more hype than anything. It completely makes sense when you learn that it is basically a protein like any other one that just gets broken down and can be used in any manner. 
Kendra
For me it was the final scientific evidence that Collagen powder does not do what it says it does. I have had this discussion for so long with many of my friends but now I am armed with all I have learnt from this call I can now say with confidence what we really need for collagen.
Niamh
It was great to learn the biochemical details on collagen biosynthesis (which amino acids and micronutrients are needed to build it). My AHA moment: the explanation why supplemented animal collagen is not necessary
Christina Ehrhardt
There are restrictions regarding educating clients on nutrition in the beauty industry, however, as an esthetic educator there is great value in sharing this information and I am so excited to offer it.

I actually learned a lot more than I thought I would. The process of collagen biosynthesis is so clear now, I can make a picture in my head of everything that needs to happen. Explanation of food influence on our skin health, but not just the skin because we can copy and paste this knowledge on our whole body because mechanism is the same. It will be so much easier to help my own clients :)
Zorana Dilber
This masterclass completely transformed the way I think about collagen. My biggest ‘A-ha’ moment was realizing that collagen supplements don’t directly rebuild skin collagen—they’re just broken down into amino acids like any other protein. I also didn’t know how essential nutrients like vitamin C, copper, and even amino acids like lysine and threonine are in collagen biosynthesis.
Madlen
Being schooled in nutrition, I found the science behind protein and collagen synthesis quite interesting, and at times difficult—which is a good thing! Definitely required some studying and reading additional papers to get a good grasp. I will be revisiting these modules often!
Robynn
Recently, I've been on a quest to understand the differences between animal proteins and plant proteins. There's a lot of conflicting information out there! I had not heard about the amino acid pool and that helps me visualize how proteins are made from not only amino acids in the diet, but also through recycling, and the biosynthesis non-essential amino acids.
