7 Invisible Collagen Thieves Destroying Your Face | Dr. William Li

Why do some 85-year-olds possess the skin structure of a 40-year-old? It isn't just genetics; they are protecting themselves from invisible "collagen thieves" that silently melt protein structures every day.
In this medical analysis, Dr. William Li breaks down the biological protocols of "Super-Agers" who maintain a collagen density 40% higher than their peers. We explore how repetitive mechanical stress, specifically from using straws, damages the orbicularis oris muscle, creating permanent "barcode" wrinkles. Beyond mechanics, we discuss the internal biochemistry of aging, including how autophagy is disrupted by late dinners and how UV exposure triggers Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs)—enzymes that destroy healthy collagen for days after exposure.

This video provides a 7-step longevity checklist, including the consumption of monounsaturated fats like olive oil to waterproof cell membranes , the importance of bioflavonoids found in citrus pith for stabilizing collagen , and the science of fibroblast stimulation through facial massage. Learn how to manipulate your circadian rhythms and dietary intake to turn your body into a collagen-preserving machine.
