I put ground chia, flaxseed, and hydrolyzed marine Collagen in my porridge every morning, I add blueberries, banana and manuka honey to taste! And a cup of green tea with a lemon wedge. I feel its a good start to my morning!
Everything below i actually started eating and taking for covid 3 years ago, but not only did it improve my immune system but my hair, skin & nails are more beautiful than it was in my 20’s. I thought my legs and arms would stay saggy after a massive weight loss during a bad case of covid in 2020 but my skin is tight, glowing, toned and smooth again. My mood and memory is noticeably better as well. My boyfriend said my “ Lady part” is way tighter too which I assume is the vitamins since I didn’t start doing Kegals or anything! The last time I went to the spa they All asked what do I use because I’m glowing. My friends and family also always exclaim I’m aging backwards. Now I just need to exercise one of these days! I keep saying “I’m going to start this weekend” for shamefully too long🤦🏽♀️ Things I’ve taken Daily every since covid almost took me out in 2020. 1. Morning Smoothie Blue Berries Strawberries Lemon Kiwi Honey Turmeric 2. Can of sardines daily 3. Broccoli Sprout extract daily 4. 1200MG of NAC once a Week. 5. 800MG Curcuma Comosa daily 6. A Multivitamin that has Vitamin A Vitamin C Vitamin D3 Vitamin E Vitamin K2 Vitamin B1 Vitamin B2 Vitamin B6 Vitamin B12 Zinc Iron Biotin Calcium Folate Iodine Copper Pantotheric Acid
@@patpatmoomoo5524 yes now believe it or not it’s the hard chalky tasting flintstones multivitamin for children lol. The one that comes in a white bottle inside of a orange box. It’s at Walmart but I get them for $5 at family dollar. those are all the vitamins listed on the back of that particular multivitamin.
Mix collagen powder, vitamin c powder, MSM powder and bamboo powder.(silica) and drink this everyday. Take a hyaluronic acid supplement along with vitamin K2 mk7 and D. Take magnesium and glycine before bed. Add spirulina, grapeseed extract, astaxenthin and krill oil to your daily regimen if you want to take it to the next level. You will see drastic improvements in now only you look but how you feel. And I mean drastic. Stick with it for 6 months without fail.
I know this video was done 2 months ago, but is it ever too late?. I always felt and looked good up until I turned 60. I've always eaten healthy, worked out, etc, but will taking these supplements help tighten a few things back up? Anyone???
Np. Great lakes collagen, drs best vitamin c powder, drs best msm powder. No definite brand for bamboo extract but I've used micro ingredients from Amazon. Spirulina and astaxenthin from nutrex only. I get my vitamin mk7 and grapeseed extract from NOW foods along with quite a few other supplements.
I put chia seeds in my shakes, cereal, salads, on a waffle, or a sandwich! It's so easy to incorporate into our daily foods! 😊 Thank you for your wonderful and informative videos, Dr. Rajani! I use your collagen powder now (among other products you make & offer with integrity). It's been fantastic! 👏 ❤️
I use lots of chia seeds as well. It can also be ground up using a coffee grinder (but one that is dedicated only for grinding chia/flax/nuts) otherwise you'll Never get the coffee scent & flavor out of that grinder & then EVERYTHING else will smell & taste like coffee. When you grind the chia, it can be used in more recipes, & being able to sneak it into foods for the whole family, & they Won't even know it!
I’ve been making bone broth since childhood but now I sprinkle tasteless collagen onto all my soup and stew. I also put chocolate collagen into my drinks. Don’t we love doctors like him, who’s real and knowledgeable. ❤❤❤❤
I buy organic ground flax seeds and chia and add to Greek you fat for extra protein. I also take marine collagen which has helped my skin . Thank you for your Chanel
You are such a wealth of information, thank you for your brilliance and your generosity! I have begun using retinol and pomegranate oil because of your advice and my skin is tighter and glowing! You are amazing!
Same here! Alcohol is terrible for your skin, not to mention the rest of your body. My biggest vice is sugar. It was easier for me to give up my beer and wine than it was to give up soda. As for the flaxseed and chia seeds, I have a container of flaxseed, chia seed and hemp seed combination that I sprinkle in my oatmeal every morning! 💜
You can literally add chia seeds to so many things! Salads, smoothies, oatmeal desserts, brownies, pudding, juice, sauces, dressings, fish, meat, eggs etc. 💙🌍
This video Dr. Rajani was so important to remind us of what we need in our bodies. 🙋♀️ As well in our own skin 👑 thank you for sharing your knowledge...it Really does matter in the harshest times of a cruel and sad World 😇🙏
@@pruost: OMG....YESSS, indeed, there are 3 g (!) of Sugar in it per serving, all of "your" Sugars included. I think, with this little Amount the Users can live! And maybe it is needed to hold a bit of Humidity in the Stuff, Sugar sucks Water/Liquid. Sometimes very less, very little Amounts of Sugar have a good Importance and reason that the Chemists and Producer Put this Stuff in! I hate Sugar, too! I'm the biggest Enemy of Sugar since my ~ 18-19' Years...and I'm from Medicine from this time till today, and I'm 68 Years old now. So - I understand you totally, but...calm down, 3 g are nothing against the "pounds of Sugars" the Public is just now eaten every Day in the US! P.S.: and maybe this little Amount of Sugar is coming from the Natural Indegrients INSIDE the Product!???
Krill oil is awesome! It is good for your eyes, plus I use it and I used it on my dog because she was limping.for some reason. I can clear my counter in the bathroom just by taking Krill.
I agree with everything you are saying today.I had a Doctor years ago recommend vitamin C supplement I also see a difference in my skin with this vitamin that is positive.
It sounds like you're doing a lot of GREAT, HEALTHY RIGHT stuff so please DON'T beat yourself up or feel any BLAME, SHAME or REGRET for the exercise. Its possible to start exercising at home with small steps. I keep a small set of weights & resistance bands next to me when I'm watching a movie or tv show & I'll lift weights, do leg lifts, do some gentle jumping jacks or use my resistance bands or rebound (jump) gently on my mini trampoline during the commercials or for a SET amount of time during a movie. Its CREATING STABLE SET TIMES or MOMENTS that help CREATE, BUILD & ESTABLISH REGULAR STABLE ROUTINES & HABITS. Try walking to the store instead of driving & carrying like weights a couple of bags home if you can or taking the stairs etc. EVERY MOVEMENT COUNTS. Try something that works for YOU & you might find its easier to DO it & STICK to it. 💙🌍
For either glucose (sugar) or vitamin C to enter the cells, they dock onto receptors on the cell surface, which then opens a gateway, allowing them into the cell. And because sugar and vitamin C are similar in chemical structure, they use the same receptors and compete with one another, The best "NATURAL" source is Camu Camu berry, which has the highest without sugar to get the vitamin C needed. It is also better to use N-acetylcysteine and glycine to boost your own natural glutathione production for oxidative stress on all parts of the body and to slow the aging process instead of introducing antioxidants which accelerates the aging process, as the body has its own balance needed between oxidation and neutralization processes that is absolutely necessary for your cells function not by inhibiting it in excess.
Please clarify: Are you saying we should add NAC/glycine to regular antioxidant supplements like vitamin C, OR should we avoid antioxidant supplements and only take NAC/glycine in order to boost our endogenous antioxidant system instead? ...Antioxidants accelerate the aging process??
@house.music.therapist8152 Correct all your body needs is it own natural glutathione production, and glutathione is the best antioxidant anyway, no need to add extra antioxidants as glutathione is self regulating, extra antioxidants does accelerate the aging process. The vitamin C is absolutely essential for the human body, just not in excess, only what is needed so not to be deficient it it. I was only responding to the video about how vitamin C, it is not easily absorbed by the body because of sugar competing with the same receptors, and you won't utilize it nearly enough, so if you need vitamin C, a natural source with all other supportive nutrients in camu camu berry powder are a better solution for vitamin C absorption because it lacks the sugar content. Look up n-acetylcysteine and glycine... aka GlyNac and Taurine as well and see the clinical studies it's pretty amazing how it slows aging .
My problem with collagen supplements is that I use a collagen powder in coffee(no way I'd eat that yuck in cold liquid)with 5 different types of collagen which "supposedly" is better. I can take it every day for months and see ZERO improvement in my face/hair...which are my worst issues. I have seen dermatologists claim to use it every day for a year...but their face doesn't look any fuller or different...either. I am beginning to think that the only use for collagen powder is for joint and gut health...so I will continue to take it.
I'll definitely start taking collagen peptides more purposely. We have this energy drink here in Sweden with 5 grammes bovine collagen peptides, 100 mg. hyaluronic acid, plus vitamin C and Zinc. It's less than a Red Bull, so I had at least one on most days. And although I can't say for sure, I thought my skin started looking better after a while. I don't know about lines and wrinkles, but I just looked like I ate right, slept tight and were doing Pilates regularly. Edit: doesn't "autophogy" translate as "self-eating?" What kind of next level cannibalism! (I'm sorry. I'm just a Swedish language nerd.)
I finally put all 4 of these together 3 weeks ago, just finding this video. Definitely noticing big improvements in skin and hair. Vitamin A from raw grass fed beef liver Omega 3 Sardines in water (trader joes) Vitamin C from 2 squeezed lemons daily (am,pm) and Vital Proteins collagen peptides. I get this in daily. Only 1 Oz beef liver or so.
Frankincense tightens skin really well. Use a carrier oil with it or get it from tropical forest ie ama... All sugars are age accelerators. Except coconut sugar and or nectar inc honey and maple syrup.
Dr. Raj you ROCK! The information you provide is amazing!! I’m going to incorporate all 4 supplements and see if I can get any help on my neck. Thank you!
I get golden flax seed and grind it at home and put it in my oatmeal or yogurt with fruit every day. I also take the collagen supplement you recommend & liposomal vitamin C which is better absorbed because it’s encapsulated.
Thank you for your information on how to take care of our skin,. I'm 74 years old now , but people don't believe I'm 74 years old , I take vitamins , Don't eat a lot of red meat, Or pork every once in a while I will ,.
Great video!!! Love your professional teaching approach, not only verbally but also visually...not to mention the various pertinent study data...Thank you!!!
Vitamin C is great, but maritime pine bark extract is continually forgotten or overlooked as being 40 times more potent for the skin. I started using it years ago and it’s amazing!
Thank you for your video. Is there any way to reverse the cellular fibroblast aging in the skin of the hands and arms using a topical treatment? That fragile thin skin worries me. Cumulative sun damage has taken a toll.
Thanks Doc Rajani ! I love learning from your videos - I have two questions: 1. Is it ok to take my collagen peptides with coffee (oat milk/honey) 2. Can vitamin C cause dark spots on our face? I’m a Latina and I stopped using mine because I noticed dark spots forming or resurfacing when using vitamin C/ferulic acid.
I've been taking 1000mg of vitamin C for a few months. (I just had refractive eye surgery and they recommended I take that for at least 4 months to prevent scarring.). I can only imagine it's fantastic for rejuvenation all around if they recommend it for that.
@@MSDeere I've been taking Ester C...someone told me it's easy on the stomach and I haven't had any issues with it. But my doctor didn't specify a particular brand.
I made my own collagen by making a bone broth. Recipes can found on YT. I made them into ice cubes and now use it daily when I am cooking. Am waiting to see if it works well. p.s. It´s important that it is organic!
@@rajanimdskincare Doc, K2 (besides helping bone) is also Extremely Important because it helps take calcium from our diet that might otherwise get stuck in our arteries & form deadly plague & clots & get it out of there & transport the calcium to the bones where we NEED it. Therefore K2 can help with heart health, potentially mitigating a stroke or heart attack.
Hmmm yes yes, Resveratrol and astaxanthin, I need that. There's astaxanthin and Q10 in my eye patches, but been years didn't consume it. Will definitely start again
I eat a bowl sugar free jello daily for my collagen imo works wayyy better than the collagen powders. For my supplement a heaping tbsp moringa powder is ALL you need for all your vitamins and amino acids! I do take omega cod liver oil capsules as well.
Just be sure your sugar free jello is Not substituting TOXIC Sucralose or you WILL regret it! Just like saccharin was once deemed "safe" for regular consumption, new scientific studies prove sucralose is now just as bad. I'd take a little sugar over anything artificial any day. And if you're eating the typical jello in the supermarket, BEWARE! It has TOXIC dyes that are extremely BAD for the nervous system. And there are other BAD ingredients in jello too. Look for a brand in the health food stores, or other natural markets.
This was quite interesting, but I would like to add that xanthan gum is a form of vegan collagen. Xanthan gum is made from vegetables and has collagen like properties that is bio identical to skin collagen
I love your advice. Thank you so much. You give practical solutions that are easy to use. Im gonna be 39 this year so im really taking my facial skin seriously now.
Chia seeds are lovely soaked in oat milk and then layer with mango 🥭 and passion fruit purée, Greek yogurt, blueberries and raspberries, I also take 2tbsp of high polypenic evoo daily with krill oil capsules and use virgin c bit A and hydraulic acid topically
Would you please make a video on what we sould do for our entire bodies? I already exfoliate, use hyaluronic and other creams & lotions, use sunscreen, and exercise.. I know you deal mainly with our faces and our general health, but now that summer is coming, what could/should we do to make ALL od our skin look great? Is it ok to use DIY microneedling? What about Retin A or AHA's? What would you recommend for a self tanner that looks natural? Thanks!!😎💖
For my menopausal skin lol I dry brush and use Jergens firming self tanner then at bedtime Vaseline illuminate body oil and I also rebound ( mini trampoline) I still always look for more tightening products but my Pilates students think I look great at 56 so I try to not be hard on myself and enjoy the glow I get ! Oh ps to edit and add hubby love how soft my skin feels from all of thee above I use!
Love salmon, have it twice a week, put chia & flaxseed in a smoothie, first thing Zi have after fasting. I switched to krill oil a year ago after your recommendation but do struggle with the size
Hi Dr, do you think it's necessary to take Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) supplement? From what I understand, Niacin converts into NAD. Thanks.
@@petrichor100 Long enough time to performs its significant exfoliation followed by erythema blood flow and facial/neck muscle “shrinkage”! I apply daily wet and usually I forget I have it on!!
Multicollagen is really a gamechanger, the only downside for me is, that your hair will grow a lot, not only on your head but allover your body🤷🏽♀️maybe it is only me because I was already more hairy but had it under control with lasertreatments, since taking multicollagen they grew back unfortunatly
Wow, laser is so expensive. Thanks for sharing. I was wondering if I got laser treatments , and started certain vitamins c again if the hair would grow back😢
@@honeybutterscotch3394 yes, it was expensive but it really did work for me. I was hairfree for years and now I just saw that my hair was growing back on parts I do not want them as a woman🤗 so now I switched again to regular collagen with two types of collagen. I take vitamin C since years and never had a problem with bodyhair growing back after my lasers the only thing which did that was multicollagen. As I said, it is really great for skin, hair, nails but not for me, a no no because of the bodyhair growth.
@@johnny-mnemonic13 the one I took which helped with my hair on my head and unfortunatly my bodyhair was Multicollagen Protein from Ancient Nutrition unflavoured.
I have not seen the body hair nor have I heard it from my patients...interesting. maybe some types of collagen powder can but we have not seen that with mine.
Hey Rajani! I'm shopping around for a mothers day special on Revision Line Relaxer. How 'bout dropping it to 99$. I'm getting low and someone goes that low I'm just nervously waiting because it works and I'm hooked! Loves!
Be careful with the Vitamin A. It’s very easy to get through even the worse diet that I have. It accumulates and excess can cause hair loss which I think I experienced. I switched from a multivitamin that contained 100% to one that contains only 50 now my hair is flourishing again.
@@reneeschroeder5583 Omg I’m sorry to hear! Hair is such a big part of many of our identities, losing it can be frightening. I hope you caught your hair loss before it got too bad.
OMG Dr. Rajani!!! I would buy your plasma restore in a heartbeat but I can’t have vitamin c in supplement form due to my Interstitial Cystitis. I have to get my vitamin c from fruits & veggies that are alkaline. The acidity kills my bladder. Oh I’m so sad about this!!! I wish there were alternatives for those of us with IC.
I agree with your statement about how people seem to age at a faster pace in modern times due to various factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, inadequate protection from the sun's harmful rays, etc. However, I can't help but recall a fascinating story I came across recently about a visionary tycoon named Bryan Johnson. This man, it is said, spends an incredible two million dollars every year on measures to slow down the aging process. According to Johnson and his team, their regimen and by following only the scientific data has allowed him to age at a rate equivalent to that of a ten-year-old child, and achieve a biological age of eighteen years old despite his chronological age of forty five. Of course, it must be acknowledged that not everyone has access to the resources and discipline required to maintain such a routine. Two million dollars a year is an astronomical sum of money, and Johnson's approach involves a very strict regimen that would be difficult for most people to adhere to. Nevertheless, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on his process.
I work with people that spend 10x that to stay younger. It is more common than people think. They have rigid routines and I learn a lot from their teams and efforts. I am a small part of that team providing the aesthetic side. People with money can get many things but health is not one of them necessarily so they do everything they can...why not?
@@rajanimdskincare I agree, people with money can get a lot of things but when it comes to health rich, poor or in-between we are all on the same playing field.
@@abbysands9510 Yes, take cancer for instance, it is not going to skip you just because you are rich. If it did you wouldn't hear about rich people dying from it. For example, Chadwick Boseman, etc and so many unfortunate people who have died from it.
Thank you for your videos. I’m so glad to know that all the supplements that I’ve been taking you listed in your video it shows that I’m on the right track. Thank you again.
I need this more so to avoid loose skin during weight loss. I have very good genetics for skin health but it never hurts to add to it. I don't want to look like a teenager but I do want to have very healthy skin and remain youthful.
Thank you for great information, much appreciated. I understand collagen can’t be taken by vegans. Is there anything else that can help with plummier skin for us vegans in addition to the tips you shared here. Thanks 😊
I started taking Codeage 5 Type collagen powder for osteoarthritis 2 years ago. Skin, hair and nails are improved and joints affected by arthritis are less sore.
When I’m in Monterey and I’m out in the sea, I do a layer of vitamin C or antioxidant serum, and then I put physical block sunscreen on that looks like Matthias from The Omega Man.
