203. Do Collagen Supplements Work, What Side NOT To Sleep On & Biohacking Skincare - Rachel Varga
Rachel Varga is a Double Board Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist who has been in the game for a while with over 20,000 procedures performed under her belt. She's got a top rated podcast all dedicated to biohacking ourselves to become more radiant called The School of Radiance with Rachel Varga. Rachel is also a celebrity skin expert who has been featured by other big time biohackers out there like Dave Asprey and JJ Virgin. Rachel has published 5 academic papers and is an executive board member and peer reviewer for the Plastic and Aesthetic Nursing Journal, and a regular contributor to the Journal of Aesthetic Nursing. Rachel combines anti aging techniques, biohacking and modern medical aesthetics by teaching us how to tune into what our skin is really telling us about our internal health and what to do about it. WHAT TO EXPECT Best way to save volume on the face Which side we should be sleeping to reduce bone loss on the face Does collagen really work? What is the best source or method through her research study that shows 35% reduction in wrinkles. Electrolytes and CVD. What we need to know about salt and what to avoid when What diseases are killing us and on the rise more than anything else Is kale good or bad? Rachel's favorite PEMF (Pulsed Electro Magenetic Frequency) mats RESOURCES: https://www.theschoolofradiance.com/research 2 weeks a reduction in wrinkle score (35%; p = .035), a reduction in wrinkles on the side of the face (24%), and a significant improvement in cheek skin elasticity (10%; p = .022) were observed. This evidence provides valuable information on the quantifiable evidence to support the intervention of recommending collagen peptides for skin improvement and dosing.
