Prevent all chronic illnesses with collagen?

Ladies Drive Podcast Vol 22 with Vanessa Craig, PhD.

In this compelling episode of the Ladies Drive Podcast I speak with Vanessa Craig - molecular biologist, cancer researcher, and founder of Formettā - about the deeper science behind collagen and longevity. Through her own personal struggle with health she became interested in how nutrition, among other lifestyle factors, impacts our health and longevity. Far from being just a beauty buzzword, collagen plays a central role in cellular health and disease prevention. Vanessa debunks common collagen myths, explaining why not all collagen is created equal and what that means for supplements containing collagen. The conversation dives into lifestyle and dietary habits that are truly non-negotiable for optimal health, supported by her own experience as a scientist.

With a background in molecular oncology, genetics, and nutrition science, Vanessa offers rare insights into how science, resilience, and prevention converge to shape a healthier, longer life.
