Collagen has become my go-to choice for protein supplementation. Protein is one of my Vital Five nutrients. Collagen wins because it is so rarely eaten and I’ve seen real-life benefits beyond helping achieve protein intake goals. Collagen-rich foods are organ meats or bone broth, and they definitely aren’t a part of the typical ‘Merican diet. Organ meats are …

If there is one overwhelming theme in osteoporosis management, it’s that people will do literally anything to avoid taking medications for bone loss. In past, popular conversations on bone health like Calcium Doesn’t Work, I’ve stressed that, for most folks, a bone disease diagnosis normally happens at a point where lifestyle modifications will do little in the way …
What an eye-opening time we live in! I say that semi-sarcastically, tongue-in-Big Mouth-cheek. But really, how fast things can change, and how wide the ripples caused by simple decisions can go! Recently, I came into a podcast quite hot after a local radio appearance got me upset. The thesis: words matter, and those of us with ANY …
Practical tips for managing and coping with covid. That’s my specialty. We’ve talked about how to re-emerge from our caves after quarantine, but now we need some help returning to our dens for hibernation. Because, as they say in horrible failed TV shows: If you’re anything like me, you’re a bit nervous, frustrated, and worried about …

No one has time to go through the legal process if we have an extra-testy or litigious target, and getting sued in general just kills my vibe. The main reason is that people who end up in my …
In This Episode Neal and Daena are talking truth about vitamins today (remember when there was other stuff to talk about besides COVID? Hashtag TBT). But yeah, Neal takes issue with a few of the buzz phrases in vitamins lately, so he decided to break them down. He gets into the idea of whole food …

One of the most common questions we get is some variation of “What should an otherwise healthy person use, supplement-wise, to be healthier?” Our advice always starts with a brief word of caution: people take too many of the wrong types of supplements.

Whoa, that’s a little direct and presumptive of a title, Neal!” Yep. I did it for the clicks. I try to dig at consumers of supplements very little.
