11. What we know about collagen...so far, with Dr Tim Crowe

I am honoured to host Dr Tim Crowe on this episode of How to Thrive. Tim is a career research scientist and an Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian (AdvAPD). He has 30 years of research and teaching experience in the university and public hospital sector, covering diverse research areas of basic laboratory research, clinical nutrition intervention trials and public health nutrition, with over 40 peer-reviewed journal publications to his name. He now works chiefly as a freelance health and medical writer, scientific consultant and science communicator. 

When it comes to nutrition research there is a lot of noise. It can be hard to determine what is evidence-based and what is marketing hype. In this episode, with Tim, we dive into the world of collagen to get to the bottom of what we know…so far. 

In this episode we talk about:

Why Tim is the best person to speak to the claims and research around collagenWhat is collagen, the different types and why do we need it in our bodyWhere collagen come from and why can’t we just eat real foodWhat the evidence says about collagen for our skin, joints, gut health, post-partum and more. How we know what claims about collagen are validWhat to look out for if you choose to take a collagen supplement  

Tim has an active media profile and a large social media following through his Thinking Nutrition blog and podcast. You can follow Tim over on instagram @doctimcrowe
