There have been a number of influencers recently extolling the benefits of drinking bone broth. This week, Michelle digs up the truth about bone broth (get the archeology reference to bones?) - how much nutrition is there, what have scientific studies told us about bone broth (since the 1930s!!!) and are there any risks to indulging too often. And, as always, she offers some alternatives. And just for kicks, Kevin shares some of his odd food choices, most of them to be avoided at all costs.

This week, Michelle tackles another listener question, who asks: should I invest in collagen supplements for my skin? But before answering, we have to understand what collagen is (spoiler: Kevin has no idea), and how it works on your skin (and other parts of your body - you'll be surprised). And thanks to science, we can then understand whether these supplements are beneficial... and if not, how else you could be spending your hard-earned money to get that social media glow.
