7 Derm-Approved Ways To Boost Collagen! | Dr. Shereene Idriss

[@afirewasinmyhead]

Cheat sheet for my fellow skin nerds! 🤓 *What causes collagen loss?* - aging - sun exposure - unhealthy lifestyle (ex. smoking, over drinking, excessive sugar) - hormonal changes (ex. menopause) - poor diet/nutritional deficiencies (ex. zinc deficiency) - chronic health conditions (ex. EDS, diabetes) *How to boost collagen:* - eat collagen-boosting foods (ex. foods high in antioxidants, vitamin C and omegas) - sun protection - collagen-boosting skincare ingredients (retinoids, peptides, copper peptides, vitamin C, vitamin E, niacinamide, CoQ10) - micro-needling (done professionally) - red light therapy - healthy lifestyle (i.e. treats in moderation, cardio and strength-training, adequate sleep)

I got diagnosed with IBD this month and it has forced me to cut off all sugar, processed carbs, and gluten. I have been eating a lot of salmon, berries, kale, avocado, macadamia nuts, sweet potatoes, etc. Already I have seen a difference in my skin even though that was never the goal. Diet is SUPER important.

I'm in the same boat. I was eating terrible before gut issues. Lots of sugar and carbs. i noticed myself looking really haggard around 31 or 32. I developed gut issues and went on an elimination diet of mostly animal foods and a few select low irritation plants. A few months later i noticed the difference in my skin. The wrinkles i was getting softened and i started getting carded again on the rare occasions i buy wine lol. I'm 38 now, no wrinkles, and still get people telling me they thought for sure i was underage

[@alihuebner9086]

so I one of my friends is a leading enviornmental toxicologists in the US. She helped author textbooks for OSHA, NIOSH...etc. She practices holistic integrative health and she gave me a really great piece of advice. I was having severe skin problems. She told me to start taking/eating sun chokes on a regular basis. Apparently the probiotic in the sunchoke or jerusalem artichoke as it's often called is a skin super booster. She told me the body is born with this probiotic as a baby and it's responsible for that baby soft dewy skin but by the time we are 6 months old it disappears. I've been incorporating the sunchoke in my diet for about a year now and it not only cleared up my skin issue, it was probably responsible for turning the clock back age wise in appearance about 15 years. All of my skin looks and feels thick and healthy from head to toe. Just putting it out there in case someone else wants to try it. God makes amazing stuff!

[@vbiddy]

Having a menstrual cycle for decades wasn't a joyride for me. Menopause often is portrayed as doom and gloom. I am learning to embrace aging. I feel more confident in my 40s, aware and take better care of myself. With age, comes wisdom. I can't control the future, but I can make smarter choices each day that will support my mind and body. I personally add Vital marine collagen to my protein shakes, and it works for me, in addition I add maca, moringa, mushroom master blend, l-lysine, vitamin c and d3/k2 and feel balanced. I would love to see more emphasis on the positive side of aging. Maybe I sound impractical, but I prefer to be optimistic.

40 is not old 😂You’re only 40 that’s why you can fantasize about ageing. Wait another 10 yrs and try again😂. Ageing is not fun, not making you any wiser, you decline so fast that you don’t want to take pictures anymore .Mental decline is the worst … focus, sharpness all gone . Instead of” embracing” it, (that sounds cute but not realistic) better prepare yourself, be one step ahead of it , read and educate yourself how to manage the decline bc it’s coming and it’s not something to embrace .👍

[@ridhwanakhan151]

Never heard anyone recommend looking at your diet with a weekly view. Excellent advice! When I start listening to dietary advice about what we need, I get super stressed as that would mean increasing what I eat and I don't want to do that at 50 😅

My dad is 57 and has never used SPF and drinks and doesn't care too much for healthy food and let me tell you..... His health is in top shape, no bones hurt, he has more stamina than a 30 year old. The other day I saw a picture of him next to a 38 year old and he looked younger.... My mom has been asked if he has a pact with the devil 😂 I think it's his good genes and that he has always exercised. He has always been active person. Taking us hikes, running etc. I just hope I have this side of his good genes.

[@graciegolding9508]

I know. I laugh that my dad, as an Urologist used to have to perform 3x as many transplants for patients than his colleagues who were P O d at him with such snarky remarks such as are you buying yourself a golden coffin?? Heck. I know my dad enough to know he would never do anything that he didn't like doing. The only washing he did too much of was scrubbing before surgery. He was a really laid back guy who shows up not late but down to the wire to do life saving surgeries. It must have been really rewarding. He was out in the sun a lot when he was a kid, but also read a lot, er obviously. at 85, he looked barely 50. People would think he was a lot younger. He stayed out of the sun, but only because he became allergic to sunlight from all that scrubbing or whatever. I honestly think he was an alien. I mean he did not have any permanent wrinkles. OK This isn't fair. I only got half his genes and he didn't get much sleep either. He also ate on the run. I am surprised he lived till 86. He thought he might hit 90 at most. However, it was a stroke TIA that took him while he was browsing the ginger in the vegetable aisle at a grocery store, and he was gone in 4 days. I never got to say good bye to him. I feel like this is not the end. He was too chill to see me cry. I didn't. I knew he had been rewarded for his dedication. It was something he loved to do as well. How lucky was he? . My mom was in the washroom and didn't think it would be that fast she missed the end. My brothers said he just smiled and closed his eyes, looking all of 50 they were there and I wasn't able to be there as well. I wish he had spent more time with us. He was one dedicated doctor. I was mad because he shortened some of our vacations because he had to go back to do one day of consultation. I know he's still around. That's how I feel, OK dad? He seems to have sneaked away from my mom. 😂.

I notice a massive difference in my skin when I eat chicken soup regularly.

Also, eating chicken or fish skin. These are huge collagen boosters, in my personal experience!!!

Btw - I look good for my age and have been told I look ten years younger. I’ve been on HRT since I entered postmenopause 10 years ago. I do a lot of yoga, eat well, have a job I love, a wonderful family and friends. But it gets harder and harder as your body continues to break down. It’s a fact. So, as I said, enjoy your youth.

I was really happy to learn about copper peptides. I saw a clip recently of a dietician who explained that zinc supplements can deplete copper. That immediately rang a bell with me, because the Covid year we all profusely supplemented on zinc was also the time my skin turned visibly thinner and noticeably sagged on me. Copper supplements are hard to find. There is a little in spirulina, but not much. I also find that my friends who refuse HRT suffer way quicker skin deterioration than those who use it, so I suppose oestrogen must play a role too. There's a new wave of medical researchers, particularly women, who feel that oestrogen supplementation should start way earlier than menopause, for a list of reasons.

She recommends diet and lifestyle as the primary intervention.

I am so glad I subscribe to your channel. I got an aestheticians license about 20 years ago. I never renewed it life happens, but I got so excited when I watching your channel it brought back so much of what I love and I’ve learned so much from you , you’re a lot of fun to watch and you’re so informative and very educational. Thank you again for reminding me all the good stuff that we need to do for our beautiful aging gracefully self. Thank you again I can’t wait to watch more of your channel. Keep up the good work Doc❤ and also I can’t wait to try your products

Bone broth is easy to add to your diet by replacing regular broth or water in a pan to stop aromatics from burning. Little things like that are a great way to get a bit of it in your diet without having to worry about the taste. And FreakFlag makes some pretty tasty unique flavors like chicken tortilla soup which we use as the broth in our chicken tortilla stew ;)

That's a great point because I am a super fast healer and when I take collagen I see results the same day. Imagining that it is actually my own body reacting to it makes so much more sense!

Interesting comment regarding people being much more critical of their appearance due to social media. I was taught good skincare practices by my mother but in my younger years no one obsessed about their appearance the way they do today. It was a simpler time.

[@c.9914]

The entertainment industry, paps and beauty/gossip mags were bad enough for unrealistic expectations of beauty or aging and superficiality. Now it's like people pinch and zoom in on photos to pick people apart on social media. Then a public figure will get some procedure done and people will pick that apart, too. We're not very good to each other.

I became extremely depressed a few years ago. I wasn't eating at all. I lost 30lbs between October 31st and by the second week of December I looked so awful. I studied depression and a lot of it caused by diet deficiency = vitamin deficiency. I can't stress enough how much better my skin looked as I began my journey to physically and mentally heal. I even quit sugar, which was so helpful (minus the leg cramps it gives). Diet is so important for your body to function properly. (Study the Chi philosophy). Once I resumed a less restricted diet (process sugar is back) I saw such a huge difference. Minimizing your sugar intake does more than you think. Also growing up Gothic- grunge and staying out of the sun as a habit helps your skin so much. So, I know from personal results over a life time, that not spend a lot of time in the sun. If you hate sunscreen like I do and choose not to wear it, a physical sunscreen is best. Also I say, keep a little weight on you at all times. The BMI scale is bullshit. I reached my BMI target and looked like shit. Avoid junk snacks all together. Don't even look at those aisles at the store. Fruit is nature's candy. So per usual Dr Idriss is preaching diet and I learned how essential it is. And water intake. Omg drink it all the time. I work in a warehouse, so it's easy for me, but if you don't like water, make yourself learn to like it. (And skip those flavor packets). MATRYL 3000 IS something I apply daily. It does so much. Also EUK 134. EUK is the best antioxidant. You don't notice the results at first but keep at it. You will see the benefits. So there is my backstory and how I personally learned how true her points in this video are true concerning sun exposure and diet. Weird comment, maybe (?) but that's my personal experience.

Thank you for saying to look at your diet on a weekly view! As a nutritionist/RD, I’ve not met many doctors very well versed in nutrition (no offense! They legit do not give y’all enough classes on one of the most important health related topics!). Anyway it seems you really know your sh!t, same goes for your macro & micro nutrients to anybody who is reading this. Let’s just take biotin for example, if you are so obsessed with hitting your RDA of biotin every single day, as well as every other micro, nutrient and macro nutrient then you are going to drive yourself. Crazy! I will balance diet means having more of some things certain days and less on other days having a weekly view makes a lot more sense… Some of my clients, even like a more closer to a monthly view! not done watching the video, but super happy that you have made this video Dr. Idriss!! Wondering if eating your collagen is enough to get #3 & to truly support your joints

Instead of jumping on the train, let's take a minute and discuss if this is the best choice.

[@mattiuzzididier8911]

Dear Doctor, I greatly enjoyed this video through which I discovered you. The content is interesting, but I must comment on a particularly important point for me. For about 15 to 20 years, I have suffered from patellar osteoarthritis, atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and rosacea. Having noticed the limitations of the treatments offered, I decided to try some dietary supplements, including collagen. Several American doctors explain that hydrolyzed collagen peptides should be used, which I did. While I wanted to see if it had an impact on my dermatological diseases, I was surprised to find that nothing had happened to my skin. For me, it is therefore not dermatologically effective. On the other hand, I had a very big and pleasant surprise: after about two months of taking 10g of hydrolyzed collagen peptides daily, I notice that my knees are much better, to the point that it completely changes the way I bend my knees and get up. Now, my knees are 95% operational in almost all circumstances. To check if it was indeed due to the collagen or something else, I stopped taking collagen. After 2 to 3 months, my knees returned to their initial state, the one that has been causing me pain for 20 years. After reaching this low point, I started taking my daily 10g of collagen again. After about 1.5 months, the effects of the collagen are felt again, and now, my knees are 99% operational as I have maintained the collagen intake for over 6 months. I am a man, French, of Italian origin, I am 58 years old, I have been athletic and careful about my health always. This is my testimony. Thank you so much for your KZbin channel and your educational approach .

I'm weirdly excited about that EDS shout out. We have hEDS & vEDS in our family and I have eds. It's so exciting to see doctors who are knowledgeable about EDS! This is probably my new go to video for explaining to people why collagen creams won't fix my skin & why collagen supplements won't fix my vascular problems. People constantly try to tell me to take collagen so I end up having to explain that I take CoQ10, zinc, vitamin C, & quercetin under guidance from my cardiologist to try to lend support to my collagen.

I’ve given up on traditional drs helping with my EDS/Dysautonomia. Should I start Coq10? Sounds like it’s a good supplement. Want a good multivitamin that’s safe for MCAS. It’s overwhelming! Just started folic acid because of the MTHFR gene mutation. Learning all this on my own!

[@Ljoyner97]

@cherrycoke3254 I'm not a doctor. However, I would imagine that so long as you have nothing/don't take meds for which it's contraindicated that it wouldn't hurt you. Obviously, be careful and have your epi nearby if you try it in case it triggers your mcas. I suggest getting bood work done to see if you're deficient before taking any vitamins. If you take electrolytes, monitor for symptoms of them being too high/low as that can quickly become a life-threatening emergency.

I eat lots of unsalted nuts, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, berries, etc.. everyday. So hopefully I will get the collagen that I need. I do think once in a while to buy some collagen peptide face creams or collagen face masks, and I am trying to look for homemade remedies to boost collagen. And then move onto buying collagen creams or collagen repair face masks. I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, I am a vegetarian etc.. I fill my plate every day with rainbow colorful fresh fruits and vegetables I eat herbs like parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, basil, cilantro, garlic, turmeric, oregano, honey, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cummin seeds etc.. Many times I'll just eat parsley, cilantro just like that. I put cinnamon in smoothies, I will make fresh tea out of rosemary and thyme leaves, I put garlic and basil and oregano, in my pasta sauces, I use turmeric, cardamom, cummin seeds, cayenne pepper, black pepper, in my cooking, etc..
