Collagen is everywhere — but is it worth the scoop? In this episode, Andrea and Whitney bring back their popular “Addition with the Dietitian” series to tackle one of the most asked-about supplements in wellness: collagen peptides.

They break down:

• What collagen really is (and where you're probably already getting it)
• The difference between collagen, gelatin, and glycine
• How to use collagen in your routine without it clumping in your latte
• Who actually benefits from it — and who should skip it

Plus, they share their favorite brands (including one with a tiny scoop and big benefits), the difference between collagen types (type I, II, Rasol, marine, bovine… it's a lot), and whether it really makes your hair, skin, and nails better—or if Jennifer Aniston just has great lighting.

💡 Also: tips for habit stacking, why Whitney prioritizes creatine, and what the research actually says about absorption and results.

🎥 Bonus: They even share an old TV segment on collagen that’s still super helpful—check the show notes!
