We've always been told how important calcium is for our bone health, but did you know that collagen is perhaps even more important? Collagen makes up over 90% of our bones, joints, and skin and is responsible for giving your body structure and strength. Today's guest, Lillian Zhao, is the founder of Further Foods, a company designed to make natural health easier and more accessible. Surrounded by disease, Lillian knew there had to be another option to traditional medicine. Further Foods was developed as a platform for food-based solutions to health problems when nothing else was there. It's a women-founded and women-led business, one of the only supplement businesses run exclusively by and for women. Collagen is actually incredibly vital for our bodies, especially as we age. Our bodies start to lose collagen as we enter our thirties, so we should be supplementing it from a pretty early age. Not only is collagen important for our bone and skin health, collagen also plays a role in our pelvic and digestive health, as well. You can get collagen from cows and fish and in this episode, Lillian explains how they use these animals to create their natural supplements. Collagen is also full of anti-aging properties and helps reduce wrinkles, especially on your face. There are other delicious and natural food sources with anti-aging properties, too! Have you heard of the importance of collagen? Have you noticed your skin health decreasing as you get older? Do you take a collagen supplement?  In This Episode: Why collagen is so helpful for our bodies How much collagen our bodies lose every year What impact collagen has on our bones and pelvic floor as we age Why you should supplement your diet with collagen How collagen helps your digestive health What natural sources you can get collagen from What other anti-aging food sources there are How you can vote with your dollar for the best products for you as a woman   Quotes: “Our bones are made out of a matrix. That matrix is 90% collagen and the calcium fills it in. So calcium keeps our bones strong, but when we run, or even walk, all that shock is being absorbed by the collagen inside our bones.” (6:52) “Collagen is really unique because it's almost a quarter glycine and you can't get that anywhere else. Glycine is so important for so many different metabolic processes in our body. And it also helps with the sleep!” (13:03) “What I think is really unique about our business is that we've kept it women-owned and women-run. We know that the majority of our customers are women. And if you think about it, there are almost no supplement companies out there that are women run. We think it's so important, because ss women, we understand our needs the best. So we continue to design products for people like us.” (17:25)   Links Get 5% off your order in the Further Foods Shop with discount code: DRANNA Find Lillian Zhao on Twitter | Medium  Find Further Foods Online Follow Further Foods Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Pinterest  Join the KetoGreen Community on Facebook Buy The Hormone Fix   Check out the full episode page Find Dr. Anna Online Follow Dr. Anna on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

This is no longer the case in modern diets, so we turn to collagen peptide supplements to reverse the loss and aid us in keeping healthier, longer.   Collagen is beneficial for our skin, hair, joints, gut, blood sugar levels, and so much more - all of which we discuss in this week’s engaging podcast!   In this episode we talk about…   What collagen does for our body and how we utilize it. How collagen supplementation can benefit a healthy lifestyle.

About Lillian Zhao Lillian Zhao is a former venture capitalist and impact investor turned entrepreneur. She started Further Food as an alternative medicine platform after her father was diagnosed with Diabetes II, her mother with a thyroid condition, and best friend with IBS. With no comprehensive resource for food-based health advice, she created a platform for functional health doctors and people who have healed themselves to share food-based solutions and inspire healing functional food products. Lillian is a longtime advocate of public health and socially responsible business. She earned a Master’s degree at Harvard University in Corporate Social Responsibility and Public Policy. She is also a certified yoga instructor and an expert in the latest food as medicine solutions. About Further Food: Further Food is a mission-driven social enterprise. We create food-based nutritional products inspired by our community of health experts and health heroes. We are building the fastest growing community and knowledge platform dedicated to advancing natural health solutions. Eat Better. Go Further. www.furtherfood.com

Lillian started Further Food after watching her father and friends struggle with chronic illness, including diabetes, IBS, and Crohn’s. She wanted to help them heal using holistic solutions but couldn’t find a trusted resource, so she decided to build one. Lillian spent the next 2 years crowdsourcing the stories of thousands of people with chronic health conditions who had healed themselves with lifestyle changes and supplementation. This attracted the attention of holistic health experts who were drawn to her vision for Further Food: to bring the proven, ancient healing practices from Eastern medicine to our busy, modern lives. Today, a select group of leading holistic doctors and scientists work with Lillian to create nutritional products that work, that they themselves want to use. Lillian is proud to have built a women-owned business that inspires and helps millions eat better and further their health, naturally. She is a surfer and certified yoga instructor, and as a life-long ocean’s lover, she is committed to making Further Food a leading eco-conscious supplement company. She lives in San Francisco with her husband and Further Food mascot, a yorkie-poo, named Marie-Louise.
