They crack me up by always touting "no processed foods", whilst adding protein powders, and other supplements to their almond milk. Loool
Side note: bone broth may not be magic for weight loss, but it is magic for soups. Every soup I have ever had that includes bone broth just tastes so much richer. Love it. Will pay extra just to get it
Thanks for this cause this will get me eating soup way more! 😃
Yeah, for example in Hungary a traditional sunday lunch consits "meat soup", with broth bone and a lot of vegetables. it is considered incredibly healthy and an integral part of the hungarian's culture.
i thought this was common knowledge lol, and i don't even make soup that much
That, and why waste the delicious goodness of the bones?!?!? They've got all the flavor!
Bone broth is just properly made stock. Keep seeing that it's cooked longer but the times that are given are pretty much just the same as normal stock times
Can we just appreciate how much money and time Abbey saves us
Here to help!
If you seriously need someone explaining to you that when something looks too good to be true, especially if it costs money and make miracles, you deserve to waste your money on it.
Natural selection at its finest.
@@Hat65 🤡
@@BotDetector-44 sadly alot of people are looking for the magic pill that will 'change their life' rather than put in some hard work....
Oh good grief.
I remember when bone broth started, I was like, yeah of course, people have been making stock forever. It's amazing, delicious, nourishing. It's not new or ground breaking. ACV drinking is modern speak for "shrubs" which are a traditional low sugar probiotic refreshing beverage. Greens powders = bitter greens spring "tonics" that people traditionally searched out (like nettles, poke, dandelion) after a winter of blander, non fresh food. Etc etc etc. So to sum up, most "superfoods" just seem like repackaged and overhyped traditional foods, so if you were eating a lot of traditional and whole foods (like Abbey is always recommending) you were "superfooding" before it was trendy!
I wish everyone would stop lying about how to loose weight and eat healthy. so many liquid products out there. they are all over not just on tic toc. I love following you! You really educate us
So glad this was helpful
This is why I'm grateful I never got on TikTok 😂
My mother started taking collagen for her joints and arthritis, she used to have that “Lock Finger” in one of her fingers and within like a month it was gone. It’s helped her joints out immensely! She adds it to her coffee each morning.
But if folks want a cheaper way to get it, eat some jello!
I love your channel Abbey!
It is helping me as well. My knees aren’t cracking anymore.
It helps me too.
Osteoarthritis sufferer here and I can attest to the improvement of joint health. Have been taking a prescribed arthritis medicine for a while with limited relief and once I began taking the Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides daily I have experienced a marked improvement in the reduction of my joint pain. It’s expensive but it works for me!
I think fasting would do that too.
@@sandpiperlane9309 can u share how much / how you take it? Thanks
My grandmother is 97, has her teeth, mind is sharp but she's forgetful. She drinks apple cider vinegar(in a coffee cup) everyday. She eats a raw clove of garlic everyday. She loves veggies. She grew her own food most of her life. Doesn't like restaurants, she never ate out until we would pick her up things to make things easier.
As a girl from the Caribbean it really surprises me to see seamoss be so huge in North America. In my country (St. Lucia) we use it in delicious drinks and alcoholic beverages around the holidays or make milk punches with them for a nice treat lol. And after looking up the cost of it overseas I'm just generally surprised-
We get huge bags of dried seamoss for like $5 EC (about 2.50 US)
Yeah, it seems to be some sort of phenomenon that food that is really normal and affordable in some countries becomes this fancy food everyone wants to eat in another country where it needs to be imported and is therefore expensive.
Yes, I eat imported food, too, mostly exotic fruits that I really like, but it’s also sad to see that people spend so much money on imported food, which is terrible for the environment, while often completely neglecting the great regional food…
@@Diana-qp2rw I definitely feel this. Even if the food isn't imported (like homemade bone broth), it's usually taken out of context and prepared in ways that aren't appealing at all.
@@reneeirena so true, in my culture, bone broth and sea moss are both very tasty food
Reminds me of Kefir, which is now being sold as a superfood too lol, although we make our own by just putting the mushroom into some milk
Haha love this!!
Me wondering how my grandmother has lived 92yrs without "supplements" 🤔
My great grandmother lived til 96 and she took hundreds of holistic medicines and supplements but now I'm just convinced it was genetics...
Lifestyle makes a big difference. The Blue Zones book examines places in the world where people live the longest and found some common themes.
Food wasn’t as depleted of nutrients back then, less processed food, more physically active etc. there’s also a reason chronic illnesses and allergies are increasing exponentially now
@@cgygflkj holistic things help. They relax you. Stress is the worst for you
My gran is 97 and same lol my other gran lived to 101.
Collagen genuinely DOES make a difference in the appearance of your skin..
The only thing I noticed when I took collagen was less money in my account. I’m done wasting money on supplements. Just eat real food and you will get the best results.
Just listened to several podcast/lectures from a professor named Giles Yeo on food and calories, and I have to say so much straight talk about food and calories, genes and weight gain was a beautiful thing. No sales pitch for a particular way of eating, no idolization of certain body types and no moralizing about weight gain or how heavy you are. Just delicious explanations of why we eat, how we eat, what we eat and why some people just stay thin while others gain weight and why it is counter to our body’s 10,000 year inheritance to lose weight and keep it off!
I read his book, really good
I watched his video. But looking at his body…I just felt like I’m not going to be taking weight advice from him. No judgement but his methods would not be for me.
@@pearlosibu I was expecting him to be morbidly obese based on your comment, but then I looked him up and he was...a skinny bald guy with a beer belly. Do people expect middle-aged science professors to look like hot young fitness influencers now? Is that what we're doing? I'm honestly so confused lmao
Watching you has helped me so much with my ED! Whenever i fix myself a plate I always have your voice in my head 🥰
Same 😊
i took a tablespoon of sea moss every morning for about a month last summer and it actually made me extremely sick. i had awful jarring stomach pains that woke me up in the middle of the night and the absolute worst ibs and bloating of my whole life. i even developed a fever at one point but was convinced by ppl on tiktok that i was only experiencing purging symptoms bc the sea moss was detoxing my body or whatever 😭 i still had rly bad ibs for the next few months after stopping but my body has slowly been recovering back to normal. i seriously dont think ppl should be consuming sea moss unless its part of food tradition in their countries bc over in the US we literally have no idea what they are putting in it and if its even remotely authentic.
OMG this sounds horrendous!!
The problem with these supplements too is that their ingredients are unregulated, so you may have been getting weird fillers or additives in addition to the sea moss
@@GetOfflineGetGood this is such a good point! Exactly!!
Hello :) Carageenan is a known gut irritant and can cause inflammation in high amounts, so this is likely what you were experiencing. One thing I do if I see marketing is google '*this thing* warnings' and '*this thing* benefits'. You'll usually get some info that way which can help.
@@katem5843 great idea!!
I make bone broth just because it’s easy to make in the instant pot, it freezes well, and is super handy to have for any recipes that call for broth. I freeze it in one or two cup servings for convenience.
Same, it’s easy and saves money
Same, I also reduce it down to a Demi glacé and freeze it to take up less space works like a charm!
bone broth is just the most common socially accepted food in where i live. It’s been like that for centuries. It basically helps to get rid of the leftovers when other dishes with chicken, meat and vegetables are cooked. Like, if my grandmothers would see that… i can’t.
Honestly I’m just tired of influencers! I’ve stopped following all of them!
I feel the same way , they made it like that’s the only way or the best way to be “healthier “ like them
@@Hat65 troll much? Will never stop following Abby!
@@Hat65 What's tripping me out is all these comments on her channel- the grammar is too perfect. I wonder how many of them are real people.
Lol consider how blatantly obvious these normalized "terms" are. The roles we are prompted to play: INFLUENCE----ER. What does influence mean? To be affected. So it's trying to Affect you. And they add the suffix "er" to make it a "thing". And the best is "follow-er". So you are no longer just an individual with interests, nope you are a Follower of this Influencer.
Can anyone...Anyone...wake up? This is getting too obvious. And we are all acting like we don't know we're playing a game we know is not supporting us. It's ego-obsessed advertisers of their own personal life "influencers" and people literally calling themselves or accepting the title as "followers". In the not so far past, a follow-er is either considered someone who is losing hence they're not creating, or someone that's desperate like a stalker. "I'm following you".
Again.... oh my god. What is next?
Unfollowed them all too! Ugh. SO tired of them. Especially the ones who wipe out entire food groups. Over it.
Thanks for the review Abbey! I appreciate the time and effort you took to go into this. The topic of supplementation is of particular interest to me :D
I would love to see you partner with a veterinary nutritionist to make the same video about the same sh*t in the pet food industry. I cringe seeing "influencers" putting 15 different things in their pets food bowls for $20 a meal full of sUpErFoOdS 🥴 while I'm screaming if you feed a quality diet to begin with, you *generally* don't need added supplements.
I’m not sure if that can be said.
When our dog was younger we only fed her raw meat with some supplements (if I recall correctly, bone powder, vegetable powders and stuff like that) we added to it - it was recommended, it is (just as added vegetables) meant to imitate what’s inside the stomach of a smaller animals the dog (wolf) would eat in the nature.
It’s called BARF (born again raw feeders) and it’s extremely natural and it has many health benefits if a puppy grows up eating like this. But you have to supplement certain things that you don’t get in meat you buy - would be a bit too difficult to go hunting for your dog lol. We stopped it eventually (after two years I think) because it was complicated and sometimes disgusting, but it’s a good way to feed a dog and puppies who grow up like that benefit a lot.
But maybe you meant something else with your comment.
My pure bred cat had a ton of issues when he was young. I've had him on a purely rabbit diet for years now and my vet is amazed by how healthy he is for a 15 year old. It really is no different from humans in the sense that eating processed junk isn't good for anyone.
@@AC-jp1lm "processed" is a buzzword that doesn't inherently mean something is bad. That rabbit food was processed too.
@@melodycook4561 You knew exactly what I meant. One ingredient food without all of the filler.
@@AC-jp1lmthey were probably amazed that it was still decently healthy whilst missing out on the rest of the essential vitamins.
I really liked this video! With all the comments I would like to see a part 2 with you discussing your thoughts on specific vitamin supplements. I personally use a multivitamin and an algae omega supplement, but there are a ton of other comments about vitamin combinations I have never heard of.
I think some of this "influencers" who promote this stuff do think it helps. But many people who starts getting some sort of supplements or superfood, also do a "lifestyle change" (such as drinking more water, changing eating habits, exercising, etc) and instead of realizing that those changes helped them, they will say it was the supplement
Not to mention they’re all under 30 and they could be eating paper bags and feel fantastic! 😂
I think people put way to much expectations on these foods. I often use bone broth in place of regular broth for soups and recipes for a little protein boost. I use apple cider vinegar in sauces and dressings (you would never catch me drinking it 😂). I put collagen in my coffee for a protein boost. I like using these things as part of my diet but none of them are “magic” or necessary.
Such a great balanced review 👏 Thank you for breaking this down.
You are my hero for this. As a former nutrition student, I get frustrated when I see all of these claims. Thank you for explaining it.
Love it when people bring the receipts. I am always skeptical about diet and supplements from influencers.
Anyone else NEVER heard of “sea moss” before this video? Just me? One of the benefits of staying off tik tok I guess lol.
Would just like to echo: as someone who works in the field of dentistry PLEASE DO NOT drink straight apple cider vinegar!!! Or any vinegar for that matter! Any high acidic food has the potential to degrade tooth enamel, but filling your whole mouth with it?? Yikes. You only get one permanent set of teeth, take care of em!
Love this video, we scientists have extra reason to be sassy when stuff like this is everywhere. 🤓 you’re doing important work Abby!
Sea moss is only just now getting to TikTok and getting popular amongst western influencers. I (and many other Black folks) heard about it years earlier in connection to an ultra-restrictive vegan diet by this man named Doctor Sebi. He was all about eating "non-hybrid" foods, so normal veggies like broccoli were prohibited and the only oil he found acceptable to cook with is grapeseed oil. It was madness. If you feel like going down a pseudoscientific rabbit hole, you will have a field day.
I’ve noticed that anytime I have a little ACV, the inflammation of my acne reduces.
I only use it every so often when I break out (diluted in water).
I have no idea how or why it works 😂
Hi Abbey!!
Great video! Just wondering if we could have a SIBO update soon?? I’m struggling with digestive issues at the moment and loved seeing ur journey. Are you healed now? Sending love
i used apple cider vinegar when i had a shortage of stomach acid, not once a day, but right before every meal. weirdly, my doctor at the time didn't offer me any medications to help my digestion, she just suggested a lot of foods (most of which didn't help because i'm allergic to dairy, and couldn't stomach kimchi). but the vinegar and kombucha were helpful, although disgusting
I've been putting a scoop of collagen in my coffee every morning and I have actually noticed quite a bit of new hair growth along my hairline that wasn't there before! I'm 38 so that was a pleasant surprise. Didn't notice any other effects though.
how does it taste though? ofc collagen is great for you but i can’t imagine in my coffee lol
@@mmmmmmmmaria I get unflavored powder and don't even notice it in the coffee.
I'm glad it was helpful for you!
I haven't noticed skin or hair help, but I do notice a very slight improvement in my IBS. Not sure if it is related to that but I used it for a while in the past and noticed the same thing, so I think it might be.
@@mmmmmmmmaria I buy the unflavored one too and I can definitely taste it. I don't understand people who don't.
I enjoy these and How to Cook That debunks equally. Fantastic video.
Love your look in this video. All the colors are very flattering on you and the headband look is so pretty
ACV's main benefit is in fact lowering and balancing blood sugar. This has been proven, particularly in type 2. Thanks Abby!
I love those kind of videos of you. Could you maybe next time make a video about foods or supplements that are actually mood bettering or antidepressants?
Greens powders have really improved my health. I had fatigue after Covid for almost 2 years. I am finally better and have a lot more energy.
Irish moss used to be used for gelatin desserts before powdered gelatin became popular. I have an old copy of the Boston Cooking School Cookbook from the late 1800s. There’s a few recipes using Irish moss which is a type of algae. Powdered gelatin was seen as a short cut professional chefs didn’t use. It’s funny to see it come around again. It was praised for being good for the infirm.
I have chronic pancreatitis and can’t eat a lot of fruits and vegetables so some of these supplements look interesting to me. They’re just so expensive and often don’t offer a trial size container. So you buy a ton of it then have to just eat the price or jump through hoops to get a refund.
I had a personal trainer who swore by apple cider vinegar and drinking it with lemon
, water and something else. It tasted horrible. Tried it a couple times and said NOPE not drinking this. Plus I was thinking what is this doing to my teeth? So another reason for a nope on drinking it.
It's tastey in salad dressing. Why have people got to take good food and ruin it because they think everything that tastes bad is healthy
I put two tablespoons in a glass of water with Himalayan salt. It’s delicious. You can use a straw.
I recently make my own bone broth from chicken feet & bones. I eat it regularly in soups and noodles. I realize that it does help with my nails. My nails used to be so fragile & for the first time I have healthy nails.
Why can't we just eat food ???
I’m convinced these gals don’t actually know what bloating feels like.
That mug is so cute! Thanks for helping to educate the general pop! I’m in my 3rd year of dietetics and really loving the advocating and educating side, so excited to be in the field!
That's very exciting, good luck with school!
Can you see much of the mug? All I can see is there seems to be a small metal bit (s?) sticking out, and some dimples in the mug.
@@ConstantiaVerted it’s very irregular shaped, idk when I noticed but it’s cool!! Lol
@@AbbeysKitchen Thanks Abbey!!
Thank you so much Abbey!!! I love your vids & you have helped me so so much
Adding collagen to my diet is the only thing the stopped massive hair shed to the point of having bare patches and actually started regrowing it. I have a ton of 1 to 6 inch regrowth all over.
Eating 1g of protein per lb of body weight didn't help. Adding a multivitamin on top of that didn't help. Only once adding the collagen it finally helped. I found it out by accident because I was taking it for other reason but then realized one day my bald patches were gone and my scalp was covered in ton of new growth.
What annoys we about AG1 is that talk about it being made in New Zealand, from NZ ingredients, yet……us NZers cannot buy or get hold of AG1 in NZ!!! But everyone, literally everyone, appears to be hit up by Athletic Greens
New Zealander here! Not only does it taste disgusting, but I've read many reviews disputing the claims made, because there's no evidence that the ingedients are in the right quantities or if they interact together, as well as the fact that many ingredients might interact with other supplements and medications (i.e. ashwaganda, chlorella)
@@frankiefavero1666 can you get it? I can't and when I contact them they say its not available in NZ! I've taken Nutrient Rescue occasionally but now don't bother with anything like that.
@@frankiefavero1666 cholera?
That’s the case for a lot of things. My fiancé is a kiwi and I’m American, and a lot of the “fancy nz stuff” we have here he says you don’t have there lol, I haven’t visited yet he’s just been here
@@Thattattedcatholic12 quite often too, Kiwi products are cheaper overseas than they are for people in NZ. manuka honey, wine, lamb are just three examples
Just curious how your Sibo is? Have you tried Fodzyme? I am dealing with it and was just wondering what your thoughts are. Thanks. Loved the video
I am so glad I got off that Rollercoaster.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I’m 34 and I remember that people talked about the 🍎 cider vinegar “miraculous benefits” in the early 2000s 😅
Cheers from San Diego California
Hey! I'm also 34 and remember this. 😄 I still have friends that swear by it to fix anything from the common cold to helping you lose weight.
Greetings from Northern California. 😊
I've never used ACV for weightless but as a low stomach acid girly with SIBO, I use it or lemon in water in the AM or before big meals and it helps :) But my dietician also recommended eating acidic fermented foods (kimchi, pickles, etc) and that helps too!
Yours is my favorite channel. You really helped me through the home stretch of my ED recovery (in addition to counseling). Side note, your new(ish) background is stunning. And what is your lip color?! I need it 😂
I'm so happy to hear that!
Collagen - that one is tough. It's a "turn and learn" for this. I love the Vital Proteins Collagen as it does help my joint pain. I haven't witnessed the "shiny hair" that others claim they get from the use of collagen though..
Overall I absolutely do agree with you and I love the music you throw in here in there as I'm in 90s girl as well
Awesome video! Video idea: food/supplements for gastritis
So much great information here. Thank you, Abbey! ( Geeky scientist and NICU nurse, so I enjoy the studies you present ) :D
Thank you for including all the links to the research papers you used so we can check this information out for ourselves. If only all those posting about these fads would actually check the science behind them before perpetrating the rumours we'd all be in a happier place. Seriously, do so few value integrity?
Hey Abby, what do you think of someone making their own “greens” powder by dehydrating greens and grinding them?
Also, I love your channel. I’m leaning to love being myself again and I’ve unfortunately gained like 30 lbs while on my journey repairing my relationship with food but I think it’s okay because I’m 30 lbs up but I’m happier, exercising more and getting more nutrients than before. Plus my weight is starting to drop. Slowly. Very slowly.
If you have a reason you can't eat them, that's cool, why not? but in powder form they lose most of their fibre. They're an inferior substitute, great for people who can't eat veg, not any better for us than the actual veg
@@therabbithat drying is a form of cooking, so some nutrients are lost, but fiber remains the same.
I've been drying kale for years to add to smoothie. I'm not sensitive to it, I just hate it. It's ghastly in my opinion. It's also a very hearty plant that not only survives but thrives in the winter garden.
I could eat tender baby spinach and Sorel daily, and do in sprint. Summer greens from sweet potatoes and turnips are good and obviously they are abundant.
I have to say I had low stomach acid and I amended my diet (even more so than I had as I have fructose malabsorption) and took a shot of apple cider vinegar with the mother (with a straw) for a few weeks and it completely resolved x
I don't get the obsession witn taking all these supplements for gut health. If your gut is no good you need to look at food allergies. Not adding random supplements hoping it will make you feel "better"
ACV never did anything for me but cause terrible acid reflux. Even taken with plenty of food. Not worth the discomfort.
This was needed.
Thank you for always being honest with us Abbey!
Of course!🥰
Would love to hear about supplements for kidney stones.
This is great, especially regarding to the crazy expensive greens!!! I stopped listening to Huberman because of it, since he is especially aggresive with it. Adding collagen to an already protein rich diet is a great idea. I was highly critical of the collagen supplement ("Teh collagen" :D) when it came out, since I already use the vitamins C and A in skincare to boost collagen and elastin in my skin and we don't have the proof the orally consumed collagen manages to get to the cells, but it seems that it gets the job done.
AG1 is a high quality multivitamin with probiotics that you take first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. It’s expensive but very good quality if you can afford it
I love AG1
I have a hard time getting protein because some of my meds seem to make protein rich food taste nasty, so I started using collagen in my coffee. It dissolves way better than typical protein powders, and has a non noticable impact on flavor, so it's working for me. Supplements are the original YMMV
I've been taking apple cider vinegar supplements for ibs for years now, and it is helping.
I originally drank it but my dentist begged me to stop.
Thanks for another informative video! I have a couple friends that will probably start with all the "cleanses" and "magic supplements" in a couple months when summer gets closer.. I'm gonna save money and continue to eat a balanced diet and keep making time for excercise. And as always, keep that hunger crushing combo in mind. 😊
Love that for you!
I saw an article about how LEAD is in a lot of sea moss
Love this video...and the color of your nails!!!
Since turning 40 my GP prescribed collagen to me, but I take it thinking of my joints more than my hair and skin. I took spirulina with some post workout veggie smoothies for a long time and all I remember is the torture.
Could you do a video on the vegan diet and vegan collagen? Please and thank you!!!
Abbey, What is your opinion on L-Glutamine supplements? 😊
I would love to see your take on Kombucha!
I like homemade broth/bone broth for soups because it has nutrients vs flavored salt water that bullion cubes/powder are made of. Also tastes yummy. From that standpoint, I think it's good if you're sick and such, but definitely not a cure-all.
Oh my god the Mike Meyers clip 🤣 “how about NO?”
I make my own bone broth, and then i cook with it. Also i make a juice with the greens powders since i don't get as much as i should. However, i don't expect either of those to be a miracle food🙄🙄
It isn't really black and white
Me: * chortles internally * it's green
Haha, you got me there
Awesome info on this video!! xoxo
Thank you🥰
Hey Abbey, do you have any videos talking about how to improve your gut health? I was really interested after that comment about gut health and immunity
I made my own bone broth *ONE TIME AND NEVER AGAIN.* My house smelled like I was hiding corpses. It literally took weeks for the smell to totally go away. Even my dog looked disgusted.
So I will continue to pay for overly-priced store broth that doesn't make my home smell like decomp...because I really like the benefits of it. 🤑
I have so many disabilities - fibromyalgia and fibromyalgia-precipitated IBS the frontrunners - that eating enough, eating at all, eating healthy, and eating without triggering a flare are all their own unique issues. It's about finding what works for you. I can't always prepare fresh vegetables, so I drink cold-pressed juice and eat canned or frozen vegetables. I take a LOT of supplements and I'm on a LOT of prescription medications, but here's the thing: I only change one factor per month. (Or per 60-90 days if evidence shows longer use or build-up is required, or e.g. a psych med requires titrating up.) If I don't feel a difference after 30 days, I stop and see if I then feel worse. This goes for prescriptions (under doctor supervision), OTC meds (doctor or specialist advice or recommendation as well as talking with a holistic practitioner), supplements (I work with my doctors, a nutritionist, and a clinical herbalist), AND major dietary changes. Otherwise, how the heck do you know what thing is helping? IF the thing's helping? It may take longer, but I can tell you that every single thing I'm deliberately doing has made a noticeable difference. Could it be placebo effect for some of them? Sure. Is this much of a cumulative improvement likely to be a placebo effect for ALL the changes I've made? Not likely. (And I had allergic or negative reactions to prescription medications AND herbal supplements FOUR FREAKING TIMES in 2023 so it's not like it's all sunshine and roses and every change makes me feel better, either.) Know yourself and make incremental changes.
As far as AVG it's a great addition to an overall healthy diet not alone. I'd add it to homemade salad dressings & other things, However there is no way I'm drinking a straight shot of that nasty stuff I tried it and I gagged no thanks
I do agree100% agree w/ homemade bone broths ,& soups
I took ACV every day for months and all I got was weakened tooth enamel
I tried making my own bone broth and that shit is f* labor intensive! Even with an insta pot. Now I understand why it’s so expensive. It did make some incredible soup though.
What's labor-intensive about chucking a bunch of leftover bones in a pot with water, a slurp of vinegar, a heavy pinch of salt, stone random herbs, and some peppercorns and setting it to 4hrs?
Question: I have gastroparesis and autoimmune gastritis, my diet is extremely limited and any food that isn’t blended or heavily processed practically doesn’t get absorbed at all and I feel a lot of my negative physical symptoms are likely from malnutrition. Would collagen, green powders, sea moss, etc be a possible good option for someone like me to try where whole foods aren’t really possible?
For anybody looking for a cheap and easy way to consume collagen:
Family packs of chicken thighs / legs / quarters with skin on
We remove the skin and fat and put it in a pot until the fat is rendered and the water evaporates. This is how schmaltz is made (it's healthier than olive oil)
Strain the skin out and add it to your chicken bones when making stock.
The bones are somewhat difficult to remove from raw chicken so we put the skinned chicken in the oven and then remove the bones after the meat is fully cooked. The bones are used in the broth
Hmmm....I was doing Vital Proteins Collagen before the influencers got on board with it. And my hair and skin has benefited. My hair is stronger. And, I'm losing weight, and the collagen has kept me from having wrinkles and sagging skin on the face. I'll stay with it. (Plus, I love their Peppermint Collagen Coffee Creamer! Yummy!)
I am vegetarian, so I have a multi from trader joe's that cost me $11. what gets me is that many influencers still take a multi after drinking their "greens" powder.
While I can not vouch for anything else, the bone broth does help with my IBS. Does it help with anything else? I dunno, but it is easy to make and taste good and calms my stomach.
What's your opinion on Kombucha? I've read so many conflicting things about it. I drink it because I love the taste. But I can't seem to pin down any definitive health benefits.
Collagen cured my eczema and transformed my skin for the better. My joints feel good and I can feel it in my bones when I run out of collagen
Sound as always 👏🏼 I’m curious, could ACV on an empty stomach cause reflux? I was having a small amount in the mornings but recently think it’s been causing worse reflux rather than helping it - but confused as some studies say it helps reflux!!
you’re adding more acid on top of excess acid, of course it’s awful for your stomach
It only helps some people with acid reflux. If it makes yours worse, discontinue using it. Healthy foods aren't healthy for everyone, so choose foods and liquids that are good for you, not everyone else.
Thank Juliana, I found it helped for a good while as a main issue for me was struggling with gastric emptying & digestion due to lower stomach acid levels, but now it’s not as helpful!
Did you dilute it? I don’t personally really don’t use it but it’s very little diluted in a glass of water! Like a tablespoon to 250ml of water.
I can't take it on an empty stomach but it works amazingly when I take it after my meal. I have trouble with digestion.
Very informative Abbey. Many thanks!
I take 2 capsules of Irish sea moss daily to help as a mineral supplement. I read that mineral deficiency is usually communicated to us from our body through thirst. I've dealt with extreme thirst for a very long time. I constantly drank water, but could never seem to quench my thirst. Added in the moss and noticed a huge improvement within a few weeks!
There may be other supplements you recommend over moss, but it's really helped me out!
Did you make sure to get your glucose levels checked too?
I don't not if you have a dedicated video, but I would like to know your opinion/thoughts on taking a multivitamin. I know overall there is only so much the body can absorb from these daily vitamins, but I am curious to know should it be considered in one's daily life?
I was halfway through a 25 min ad by Maggie Q about collagen before I realized it was an ad and not a teaching point included by Abby 🤣🤣
I do love taking collagen.... not sure if it will do anything but I am 46 now so I feel like it really couldn't hurt lol
Dietary studies are notoriously poor quality and it's so frustrating.
Abbey, thanks for all you do…how about the Q-Science, Q-Core supplement stuff…apparently it’s LIFE CHANGING…tons around me losing their minds about this…and yes it’s a MLM.
Tranont is another one…seems fishy 🐟
I love you and your videos! You help me to not overthink things. BUT I have been told ALOT lately that I should get my hormones checking and find a functional nutritionist. What is you viewpoint on functional nutritionist?
Also just eating for hormone health.
