S2 E36: Menopause & Collagen Loss: How to Help Women Reclaim Their Glow and Confidence

They don’t tell you this in high school biology, but by the time a woman hits menopause, she’s in the middle of a collagen cliff dive. Up to 30% gone by age 50 — and most of that loss happens in the first five years after her period packs up and leaves.

The result? Skin that feels thinner, less springy, and like it aged ten years while she was busy just trying to get through hot flashes and hormone swings.

And here’s the truth bomb: it’s not just about wrinkles. Collagen is the scaffolding that keeps her skin looking firm, radiant, and “lit from within” — and when it breaks down, so does her confidence.

In this episode, we’re diving into:

✨ The hormone–collagen connection and why midlife women notice changes fast
✨ Which collagen boosters actually have science behind them (spoiler: not all powders are created equal)
✨ Two underrated mushroom superstars — ergothionine and tremella — that are game-changers for skin health
✨ How collagen can be a game-changer for organ prolapse and other compromised tissues
✨ Why focusing on skin during menopause isn’t vanity — it’s part of whole-person care

Whether your patients are coming to you for energy, weight, or hormone balance, their skin tells a story — and you have the power to help them feel gorgeous in it again. This isn’t about chasing youth… it’s about giving her the tools to age on her own terms.

So grab your coffee, your notepad, and maybe a dash of collagen in your smoothie (the good kind) — let’s make you the go-to skin whisperer in your community.
