NEW & IMPROVED COLLAGEN FORMULA!

I’ve just finished an informative webinar on the newly formulated Collagen Activ product that I personally take and recommend to my friends and my Naturopathy clients, and I’m excited to share what’s changed!

At the heart of the formula is 5g of premium marine collagen peptides per serve, featuring Type I and Type III collagen — important structural proteins found throughout the body and particularly relevant to skin and connective tissues.

But this isn’t just collagen…

The formula also combines collagen with a range of complementary nutrients and botanicals, including:

🌿 CyActiv – a Spirulina-derived ingredient providing antioxidant and cellular support
💧 Hyaluronic acid – supporting skin hydration
🍊 Vitamin C – contributes to normal collagen formation and supports bones, cartilage and gums
☀️ Vitamin D – supports normal immune function and calcium metabolism
⚡ Vitamin B3 – supports normal energy metabolism, nervous system function and skin
🛡️ Selenium & Zinc – important nutrients for antioxidant protection and normal immune function
🌱 Aloe Vera, Cordyceps & fermented black bean and rice.

And the best part? It’s a delicious powder that simply mixes with water — making it easy to incorporate into your daily routine.

As we get older, supporting our nutritional foundations becomes increasingly important. This is why I’m particularly interested in formulas that provide more than just a single ingredient.

Interested in learning more about GLP-1 medications?

I’m doing a weekend long Symposium on supporting patients considering starting, already taking or ceasing GLP-1 medication for weight loss.
I plan to share take important home messages over the weekend that aims to educate as well as reinforce my knowledge. Feel free to share with anyone you think would benefit and comment if you have questions as I can ask the brains trust at the conference if there are any tricky Qs.

Take home messages from the first talk today by Dr Jacqueline Jacques from USA for people already using GLP-1 medications:
1. Ensure what you are eating is nutritionally adequate, including adequate lean protein (at least 1.2g per kg body weight), polyphenol rich foods (i.e. colourful veg & fruit), fibre and good fats. A Mediterranean style with 40% plant rich food is helpful.
2. Daily movement, ideally with resistance exercise to reduce loss of lean muscle and protect bone loss
3. Adequate hydration (2-3l daily)
4. Test for and monitor micronutrients (blood tests) and consider a quality multivitamin to reduce risk of deficiencies, as there is a risk of undernourishment when you eat less.
5. Consider emotional and behavioural support with structured follow ups to monitor progress, support healthy lifestyle improvements, set expectations, and prepare for future cessation of the medications if desired.
6. Consider support with a professional to discuss:
- supportive nutrients like creatine, HMB, branch chain amino acids, leucine, collagen, & hormonal support
-addressing side effects like nausea, constipation, digestive discomfort from the medication and hair/skin issues resulting from weight loss.

I read a brilliant article in the FT weekend today about a guy who was seriously addicted to ci******es (estimated to have smoked 250,000 ci******es in his life equivalent to 6 x VERY expensive Rolex watches). He did a day course at Allen Carr’s clinic (I recommend his book to anyone wanting to quit). He had tried EVERYTHING (hypnosis, weaning onto vapes, patches, gum etc.) but this program was a success!!

If you know someone struggling to quit, start with reading Allen Carr’s book.

While embryo quality and endometrial receptivity are super important when looking at IVF success, a growing body of research is drawing a clear line between vaginal microbiome health and reproductive outcomes.

A recent systematic review and meta-analysis of over 3,500 patients confirmed that women with sub fertility are significantly more likely to exhibit vaginal dysbiosis, associated with lower clinical pregnancy rates and a higher risk of early pregnancy loss. A recently published clinical study found that Lactobacillus dominance decreased significantly during IVF treatment itself, including during ovarian stimulation and progesterone supplementation.

Testing the vaginal microbiome represents a potentially modifiable factor that warrants closer attention throughout the IVF journey, and something that I'd certainly recommend having done.
