Collagen has become one of the most popular supplements on the market over the last few years and is being touted for a range of potential benefits, including skin, joints, digestive health, and even weight loss. 
In this episode, we will examine some of these claims and review the research on collagen to discuss whether or not this is a worthwhile supplement to include in your routine or another misleading wellness fad.

Welcome back to another episode of The Nutrition Science Podcast. In this episode we discuss the different forms of evdience in nutrition and how we can utilize each of these types of evidence to help us make decisions about our health. 
We talk about why people's stories are often flawed, the limitations of scientific research, and more. Tune in to learn more! 

Nearly everyone has an opinion on nutrition.
Listening to everyone's opinion will leave you confused and overwhelmed.
So how do we know what to listen to and who to trust?
In this episode, I discuss the difference between opinion-based and evidence-based nutrition. 
And discuss why you must get your information from people providing evidence for their claims and not just giving their opinion.
