On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared sits down with Jodi Sanders, National Educator for BioSil, to explore the science behind collagen production and why supporting your body’s natural processes may be more effective than simply supplementing collagen alone. They break down the critical roles of collagen, elastin, and keratin in maintaining healthy hair, skin, nails, joints, and connective tissue—and why production declines with age. You’ll learn how BioSil’s patented choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (CHOSA) is designed to support the body’s natural collagen-building pathways, along with insights into lifestyle factors that impact these structural proteins. The conversation also introduces a new, highly digestible plant-based protein designed to deliver a complete amino acid profile.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared breaks down the emerging “GLP-1 economy” and what it means for your health, your food choices, and the future of nutrition.
