The Collagen Diet

A 28-Day Plan for Sustained Weight Loss, Glowing Skin, Great Gut Health, and a Younger You

By: Josh Axe

Narrated by: Eric Jason Martin

Dr. Josh Axe, bestselling author of Keto Diet and Eat Dirt, explains how to lose weight, prevent disease, improve your digestion, and renew your youth by taking advantage of dietary collagen.

Today, interest in dietary collagen is growing at an astounding rate, and with good reason. The benefits of a collagen-rich diet are remarkable, ranging from better weight control to enhanced digestion, clearer skin, reduced inflammation, and improved immune function.

Dietary collagen provides a unique blend of amino acids and other compounds, making it critical for everyone, including infants, young children, the elderly, athletes, pregnant women, new mothers, and adult men and women. Simply put: When we don't get enough of the beneficial compounds found in collagen-rich foods, we experience more injuries, chronic aches and pain, digestive issues, and other symptoms associated with aging. And most people don't get enough. Collagen is the missing ingredient that can help all of us live longer, healthier, more vital lives.

In The Collagen Diet, Dr. Axe describes how collagen helps maintain the structure and integrity of almost every part of the body. You'll learn how your skin, hair, nails, bones, disks, joints, ligaments, tendons, arterial walls, and gastrointestinal tract all depend on the consumption of collagen-rich foods.

Featuring a twenty-eight-day meal plan, seventy mouthwatering recipes, and specific advice for supporting your body's collagen production with exercise and lifestyle interventions, The Collagen Diet provides everything you need to take advantage of this overlooked cornerstone of modern health.

Love This

Very informative, great book, very useful and helpful information for anyone looking to improve their overall health…

Great information

Great information about collagen, why you should incorporate it into your diet and how to incorporate it.

Good info

A great, detailed and scientific explanation about collagen. I Highly recommend this informative book! Can’t wait to try the recipes.

great info... boring robotic performance

I enjoyed the information and knowledge I gained from this book. However, this was my first Audible book by Josh Axe and I had no idea how robotic he sounded while reading. I made it through only because I wanted to know more about the subject but on his YouTube videos he's way more personable. All in all, listen on a higher speed and it's a worthwhile read.
