You asked, so we’re ending the series with the question everyone wants answered 👇

“If I’m taking COLLAGEN, do I still need PROTEIN?”

The answer? 100% YES.

COLLAGEN and PROTEIN are NOT interchangeable.

Here’s why:
💡 COLLAGEN = specific amino acids (GLYCINE, PROLINE, HYDROXYPROLINE)

💪 PROTEIN = the FULL SPECTRUM of essential amino acids your body needs to BUILD, REPAIR, and REGENERATE.

COLLAGEN is like the REINFORCEMENT in your structure — PROTEIN is the FOUNDATION.

You can’t build strong SKIN, MUSCLE, or BONE without BOTH.
When patients come to me with concerns around RECOVERY, CHRONIC PAIN, or TISSUE REPAIR —
it’s not just about what they’re supplementing,
it’s about what their BODY CAN ABSORB AND REBUILD WITH.
This is where stands out — their BOVINE HYDROLYSED COLLAGEN (2000 DALTONS) is small enough to be absorbed efficiently, but it still needs to work alongside adequate PROTEIN INTAKE.

✨ Think of it like this:
COLLAGEN tells your body WHERE to rebuild.
PROTEIN gives it the TOOLS to do it.

This wraps up our 6/6 COLLAGEN CONVERSATIONS — what a privilege it’s been to share these discussions with FOUNDER NIKKI AUCKLAND.
COLLAGEN ISN’T JUST A BEAUTY SUPPLEMENT.

It’s a BIOLOGICAL STRATEGY — when used right.

💭 What’s been your BIGGEST TAKEAWAY from the series so far?

Comment below so we can keep the conversation going.

“They told my mum to just accept it.
They called it normal.
Then they offered her ANTIDEPRESSANTS.”

But she wasn’t broken — she was hormonally unheard.

For years, women have been told to PUSH THROUGH the change of life, to hide their symptoms, to smile through the exhaustion.

What most don’t realise is that MENOPAUSE isn’t just about hormones — it’s a neurological, biochemical, and emotional shift that impacts every part of a woman’s body.

💭 HOT FLUSHES, RESTLESS SLEEP, ANXIETY, MOOD SWINGS, WEIGHT FLUCTUATIONS — all symptoms of a system asking to be rebalanced, not medicated away.

That’s why I gave my mum .health , a formula created by women, for women — supporting natural hormone balance, sleep, energy, and emotional stability.

She’ll share her honest feedback soon — but this ISN’T about a product.

It’s about starting the conversation that’s been SILENCED for TOO long.

To EVERY WOMAN who’s ever been told she’s “just getting older”…
You’re NOT CRAZY. You’re not fading. You’re changing.

And that change deserves support, education, and compassion — not dismissal.

🌿 This one’s for our mothers, our sisters, and for every woman rewriting what menopause means.

COLLAGEN ISN’T A BEAUTY TREND — IT’S A HEALING TOOL.

Most people think COLLAGEN is just for SKIN, HAIR, and NAILS… but in clinic, I’m using it to help patients HEAL.
Because when you look at the body as one connected system —
your skin, muscles, and connective tissue are speaking the same language.

When patients come to me with:

⚡ Recurring fungal infections
⚡ Chronic muscle or joint pain
⚡ Skin issues like psoriasis or eczema
⚡ Slow recovery after exercise or injury —

I don’t just treat the symptom.

I look at the FOUNDATIONS — nutrient absorption, gut health, inflammation, tissue repair.

That’s where COLLAGEN becomes more than a supplement.
It becomes a THERAPEUTIC TOOL for recovery, resilience, and rebuilding the body from the inside out.

At , their bovine hydrolysed collagen sits at 2000 DALTONS — meaning it’s small enough to be effectively absorbed, yet potent enough to drive cellular repair.

💭 My job isn’t to chase symptoms.
It’s to help your body remember how to heal.
So when you see “collagen” on a shelf, don’t think beauty — think BIOLOGY.

Because healing starts when the body feels supported to do what it’s designed to do.

✨ THE TABBOULEH DETOX YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU NEEDED.

We’ve complicated health so much that we forgot what real food looks like.
This isn’t a fad, cleanse, or supplement — it’s ancestral nutrition.

My modern take on the Lebanese national dish, Tabouli, made with fresh, chemical-free ingredients from .

It’s rich in polyphenols, antioxidants, and plant compounds that love your gut, skin, and hormones.
And before you judge my parsley chopping… yes, I sighed halfway through 😂

Because perfection isn’t the goal — consistency is.

🥬 1 head of parsley
🍅 2 tomatoes
🥒 2 cucumbers
🧅 1 small onion
🌶 ½ red capsicum
🫙 1½ tsp Baharat (Lebanese 7-spice)
🍋 100-120 ml lemon juice
🫒 2 tbsp organic extra-virgin olive oil
🧂 Himalayan salt to taste
🔥 Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper

Finely chop and dice everything!

Make it with your hands, make it with intention, and eat like our ancestors did — fresh, grounded, and grateful.

FASHION FOOTWEAR — DESIGNER SNEAKER EDITION

💭 You’ve invested in the sneakers… but have you checked what’s happening underneath the logo?
This week’s Fashion Footwear Designer Edition is all about Designer Sneakers.

From the iconic Valentino Rockstud to Chanel, Gucci, Balenciaga, and Louis Vuitton — I’m breaking down which ones actually support your feet… and which ones just look good in photos.

⚠️ COMMON OFFENDERS:
– Too much torsion and flexibility that the footwear folds in half.
– Heavy midsoles or too much flare on the outtersole that alter gait.
– Narrow toe boxes = bunion breeding grounds

✅ LOOK FOR: 
– Lightweight construction
– Removable insoles (so you can add support if needed)
– Breathable uppers
- Good structure at the heel counter and midfoot

Fashion and function can coexist — if you know what to look for.
So before you drop $1,500++ on sneakers that might destroy your knees… watch this first. 😉

👡 Stay tuned for next week’s Sandals Edition — it’s going to get interesting.

💭 Which designer sneaker do you swear by (or secretly regret buying)? Drop it below 👇

“DOES SIZE REALLY MATTER?” (Collagen Talk 4/6)

👀 Does size really matter?
In this case… it ABSOLUTELY does.

We’re talking DALTONS — the science that no one tells you when it comes to collagen.
Collagen peptides are measured in Daltons, which refers to their molecular weight.

The smaller the Dalton number → the smaller the molecule → the better your absorption.
If it’s too large? You’re LITERALLY just flushing your money away. 🚽💩

💡 THE SWEET SPOT:
You want a collagen peptide between 2,000–4,000 Daltons.
At The Collagen Lab, their bovine hydrolysed collagen sits right at 2,000 Daltons — small enough to be absorbed, big enough to be effective.

So next time you’re shopping for collagen, look past the pretty packaging and check the science.
Because if it’s not hydrolysed properly, it’s not doing what you think it is.

💭 Unsure what to look for or how to read your label?

Drop a comment below or DM me — I’ll happily guide you through your next shop. 💛

✨ This is Part 4/6 of our Collagen Series with founder Nikki Auckland — where science meets beauty, and information becomes empowerment.

STRONG BONES, STRONG FUTURE Mini Series 2/2

YOUR BONES ARE HORMONALLY ACTIVE — AND THEY’RE TALKING TO YOU. 🦴

We’ve been told our bones are static. Lifeless. Structural.

But they’re actually hormone-producing organs.

They release OSTEOCALCIN, a hormone that supports:

💓 Heart health
🧠 Cognition
💪 Muscle strength
🔥 Metabolic health & Insulin sensitivity

After 28, bone and muscle loss accelerate — especially through hormonal transitions.
But here’s the thing → it’s not too late to change your body’s chemistry.

Movement. Nutrition. Mindset.

They all send the same message to your bones: “You’re still needed.”
As Dr Gabrielle Lyon says, “Muscle is the organ of longevity.”
And as Joe Dispenza reminds us, “You can’t create a new future living in the emotions of your past.”

✨ This post is your reminder that you have the power to shape your hormones, your bones, and your future.

Save this. Share this. LMK if you need help and guidance and I will personally guide you

Let’s build strong bones and stronger women — from the inside out. 🌿

STRONG BONES, STRONG FUTURE MINI SERIES 1/2

Did you know bone loss starts in your late 20s — not at menopause?

By 50, 1 in 2 women will break a bone because of osteoporosis.
But here’s the truth → you can change that trajectory.
Your greatest protector isn’t calcium.

It’s MUSCLE.
It’s RESISTANCE TRAINING.

It’s the signal your bones have been waiting for:

💪 “Stay strong. Stay dense. Keep me active.”
Every lift, every pull, every push tells your bones to stay alive.

Pair that with protein + minerals (magnesium + boron) and you build the foundations of longevity from the inside out.

We don’t talk enough about how early prevention really starts.

Movement in your 20s → protection in your 40s → freedom in your 60s.

As Dr Gabrielle Lyon says, “Muscle is the organ of longevity.”
And as Joe Dispenza reminds us, “Your body becomes your subconscious mind.”

So what are you teaching your body today?
💭 Ladies — what’s your go-to form of strength training right now?
Or are you just getting started?

Save this for when you need the reminder:
Strong bones, strong hormones, strong future. 🌿

⚠️ YOUR BONES DON’T JUST NEED CALCIUM.

Here’s the truth → Two NON-NEGOTIABLES for bone health are BORON + MAGNESIUM.

💡 BORON regulates how your body uses CALCIUM + VITAMIN D, supports HORMONES like estrogen + testosterone, and reduces bone loss.

💪 MAGNESIUM is essential for bone formation, muscle function, and inflammation control.

The BIG PROBLEM?
Many Aussie farms no longer use REGENERATIVE FARMING methods — our soils are depleted… which means our FOOD is depleted.

📊 Around 35–50 % of Australians don’t meet their magnesium needs (ABS 2011–12).
📊 Boron deficiency is linked with impaired bone growth + arthritis progression (Nielsen 2018).

That’s why I supplement — because BONE HEALTH IS HOLISTIC.

As a podiatrist, I don’t just look at your feet… I look at the FOUNDATIONS of your health.
And minerals are one of the most overlooked foundations we have.

💭 Question: Are you getting enough magnesium + boron in your diet?
Or are you supplementing like I do?

✨ SAVE THIS — these are the minerals your bones are begging for.

✨ THE BIG DEBATE: BOVINE VS MARINE COLLAGEN 🧬 ✨
Which one is superior — and does it actually matter?
In this week’s Wednesday Wellness Chat, I sat down with Nikki Auckland — Founder of The Collagen Lab, to break down one of the most asked questions in the wellness space.

Here’s what you need to know 👇
💡 MARINE COLLAGEN
• Derived from fish skin & scales
• Higher bioavailability → smaller peptides absorbed quickly
• Primarily Type I collagen = the beauty collagen → supports skin, hair, nails, and elasticity

💡 BOVINE COLLAGEN
• Derived from grass-fed bovine sources
• Contains Type I + Type III collagen → supports gut repair, joint health, connective tissue & skin scaffolding
• More complete for overall structural repair
The truth?

👉 They both have unique benefits.
👉 The best choice depends on what your body needs right now.

If your focus is skin radiance, marine may be your go-to.
If you’re repairing your gut lining, joints, or deeper connective tissue, bovine might be your hero.

At The Collagen Lab, Nikki combines Type I + III collagen peptides — so you’re supporting both the inner and outer layers of wellness: beauty from within, repair from the core.

💭 Which one do you take — bovine, marine, or both?
Drop it below 👇 and let’s compare experiences — because this is the kind of education that changes how we supplement with intention.

FUNGAL RESISTANCE IS RISING ( SWIPE TO THE END)
Even if you don’t pop antibiotics, you’re still in the ecosystem: human overuse, animal agriculture, and environmental spread all drive drug-resistant microbes. The fix isn’t fear—it’s FOUNDATIONS.

What I recommend in clinic:
• BREATHABLE TEXTILES (≥70% COTTON socks), dry feet, rotate shoes.
• BALANCE BLOOD SUGAR (protein + fibre with meals).
• SUPPORT YOUR MICROBIOME (PROBIOTICS + plant diversity).
• RESTORE/REBUILD with BONE BROTH or COLLAGEN PEPTIDES if you can’t tolerate broths.
• LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE (with Rachael or learn with us at workshops).
• COLONICS (Woods gravity) with qualified therapists—benefits are individual; evidence is mixed, so be supervised.
• MY CLEANSE SEQUENCE: Liver & Gallbladder → Parasite (posting soon).
This isn’t one silver bullet—it’s a stack of small habits that protect your skin, nails, gut, and feet (hello podiatry fam) from the ground up.

SAVE this, and tag someone who keeps getting “the same infection” back.

If you want a personalised plan, DM FUNGUS and I’ll point you to our best starting resources.

I say this with LOVE — especially to THE WOMEN, THE EMPATHS & MUMS who give EVERYTHING and leave NOTHING for themselves. 💛

MOVEMENT isn’t about VANITY.
It’s about VITALITY.
It’s about the RIPPLE EFFECT your ENERGY has on your FAMILY, your CHILDREN, your ENVIRONMENT.

Because the truth is —
🧠 CHILDREN are watching.
Their WORLDVIEW, HABITS, and BELIEFS are shaped between the ages of 0–7, when their brain is in a highly IMPRESSIONABLE THETA STATE (Siegel & Bryson, 2011).

In that window, they don’t just hear what you say — they BECOME what you DO.

I’ve seen two types of MOTHERS in my care:
1️⃣ The one who BURNS her candle from both ends until there’s nothing left…
2️⃣ And the one who CHOOSES to REFILL her own cup — who MOVES, NOURISHES, and PRIORITISES her health.

And trust me — the kids of that second mother?
They’re not neglected — they’re LEARNING.
They’re THRIVING from the EXAMPLE she sets. 🌿

💭 You can CHANGE the FUTURE of your child’s HEALTH — and their BELIEF around SELF-CARE — by choosing to start with YOU.

So tomorrow morning, move your body for FIVE MINUTES.
Because once you start (and that’s always the hardest part)… you’ll keep GOING. 💫
