Your skin isnât built with serums. Itâs built with protein.
Collagen is the protein that gives skin its firmness, structure, and elasticity. Itâs made from amino acids and those amino acids come from the food you eat.
The problem is most women are drastically under-eating protein. Weâre told to focus on skincare products, but the truth is your skin is constantly rebuilding itself from the nutrients available in your body.
If youâre not eating enough high-quality protein, minerals, and healthy fats, your skin doesnât have the raw materials it needs to maintain strong collagen and a healthy structure as we age. Your skin will always reflect what youâre feeding it.
These are some of the foods Iâm making lately to support my skin from the inside out:
+ Eggs + bone brothâ¨+ Grass-fed burger pattiesâ¨+ Chicken salad (heavy on the protein, light on the lettuce)â¨+ Chicken thigh soupâ¨+ Oystersâ¨+ Grass-fed steakâ¨+ Japanese sweet potatoesâ¨+ Grass-fed butterâ¨+ Dates with butter instead of refined sugarâ¨+ Turkey meatballs with tahiniâ¨+ Burger bowlsâ¨+ High-protein breakfast platesâ¨+ A freezer stocked with quality protein
Most women spend hundreds on skincare but under eat the nutrients their skin is made of.
Save this for your next grocery trip.
