With us today is co-founder of Native Path collagen.

Dr. Chad Walding, so glad to have you with us.

Tell us about your company.

Well, Native Path, we're a company that is really all about aligning human health with

the way it's designed to eat, move, and live.

You know, we look at the past 100 years and we see a consistent rise in disease, specifically

metabolic disease.

That rise has been happening despite all our advances in technology and medicine.

We really recognize and appreciate the timeless principles that are really appropriate for

humans and human health.

And what we do as a company is we educate people on nutrition and movement and lifestyle.

And we help provide supplements to help fill in the gaps

of the vitamins, the nutrients, and minerals that are missing in the modern diet. And you do this

with Native Path collagen. What exactly is collagen? Collagen is our hero product. That's the first

product we came out with. And collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, right? It's what makes up

the structure of your body, your tendons, your ligaments, the things that you look at, like your

hair, your skin, your nails. It even makes up your bones and your gut lining. So it's

extremely important to have collagen. And it's something that our ancestors would get plenty of

with the way they ate because they would eat nose to tail. They would take the bones of an animal. They would put it in a big pot with hot water and make broth. And that's how they would get collagen. But we're not getting near enough in our modern diet because we're so bombarded with carbohydrates and fat and not near enough quality protein, certainly not enough collagen. And collagen is something we produce on our own, but around the age of 20, that starts to decline. Around 50, it really starts to decline. When we're deficient in collagen, it accelerates the aging process, the weakening of the structure of our body. So it becomes really important to start supplementing with it as we get older. Consuming quality protein, specifically in the form of collagen,

one of the easiest things you can do that makes the most difference in your health.

It's remarkable stuff. Dr. Chad Walding.

Thank you so much for dropping by today.
