The low-down on Collagen


Listen Later

Rather depressingly, our collagen production starts to reduce in our 30's and studies show that women lose 30% of the collagen in their skin in the first 5 years of menopause...great!

Podcaster Bio

Hey, I’m Rebecca I am a Menopause Coach, Nutritional Therapist, and qualified Personal Trainer and  I am passionate about empowering women to be healthy and take charge of their wellbeing and menopause transition

As a teen I contracted Hepatitis which damaged the way I digested fat in my diet, I spent the next 15 years suffering from daily heartburn and acid and constantly took antacids, until quite by accident I discovered the key to stop my daily discomfort.... DIET

How I ate cured my condition and sparked a thirst for more knowledge, so I decided to gain a Nutritional Therapy qualification in January 2011 so I could pass on my knowledge and help others, specifically women.

In 2019 I turned 50 and my own menopause hit me from nowhere and made me realise how uneducated and ill prepared I was, how did I not know what was coming? I decided to educate myself and make sure I was qualified to educate and coach other women and it’s become a big passion for me to change the narrative and taboo around menopause and women’s health

My wish is for you to live your life Empowered and Thrive on the other side
