I learnt SO MUCH about all the different types of collagen and their different functions on the body at the launch of the new @ancientandbrave NOBLE COLLAGEN supplement. In all honesty, I went with the purpose of interviewing the incredible @damekellyholmes about her experiences of dealing with debilitating joint pain during perimenopause (and she was awesome in every sense of the word). But the discussion panel with Dame Kelly, @lukewtraining @dr_jenna_macciochi and @jo_woodhurst_nutrition was illuminating to say the least! I’ve been suffering with a lot of joint pain since heading into perimenopause which has stopped my runs in their tracks. And while I have been taking collagen supplements for a while, I had no idea that TYPE 2 collagen even existed, let alone that I should be taking it for joint health because it makes up around 95% of your cartilage! I’m looking forward to trying the new TYPE 2 collagen supplement in my goodie bag and seeing if it makes a difference to the way my body feels (it worked for Dame Kelly, so here’s hoping)! But I will also say it was wonderful to get in a room with so many amazing women from the health and fitness industry - including @janewakeuk and @thenutritionguru - and be able to talk openly and freely about all things perimenopause. I swear I’ve had the worst week so far with my symptoms and I was feeling pretty low before the launch (I actually really didn’t want to go), but being able to talk with my peers and learn from their experiences and incredible knowledge is so empowering, and reassuring, and comforting. Perimenopause is something EVERY woman goes through, so the more we talk about it, and normalise it, and put our experiences out there, the better! #pressevent #ancientandbrave #collagen #type2collagen #collagenpowder #collagensupplements #peri #perimenopause #perimenopauselikeaboss #perimenopausesymptoms #perimenopausehealth #perimenopausefitness #perimenopausal #perimenopausesupport #over40 #over40andfabulous #over40fitness #jointpain #jointhealth #cartilage #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #womensupportwomen #knowledgeispower #selfcare
