info_outlineBoosting Your Wellness with Collagen: A Chat with Cynthia Mancuso on The Debbie Nigro Show
If you've been curious about collagen and whether it actually works, my latest chat on The Debbie Nigro Show is just for you! I caught up with my longtime friend Cynthia Mancuso—who I recently spotted in an ad for Native Path Collagen—to find out why she's such a fan and how it's helped her feel better from the inside out.
I thought she'd get a laugh out of my calling her out of the blue to see just how this collagen thing was working for her, because I've seriously been thinking about starting taking it but have not yet.
I knew Cynthia would smile and knew she'd be OK having some fun with me on my radio show talking about it.
Cynthia shared how she started taking collagen to help with joint pain, fatigue, and osteoporosis, and after a few months, she noticed big improvements—less knee pain, more energy, stronger nails, thicker hair, and firmer-looking skin. She’s been adding two scoops of Native Path Collagen to her coffee every morning, and the results have been worth the consistency!
(BTW this is NOT a paid commercial for Native Path Collagen. Just a commercial for lovely Cynthia Mancuso who was featured in their collagen ad. LOL)
Cynthia and I also talked about the science behind collagen—did you know we start losing collagen in our 20’s and lose about half of our body's natural collagen by age 60? Seems collagen supplements can help restore what’s been lost.
While research is still evolving, Cynthia swears by it, and after hearing her experience with collagen, I think I’m ready to give it a try too!
Obviously I must be low on supply by now.
If you’re looking for an easy wellness boost, tune in to this fun, informative conversation.
And stay tuned—Cynthia promised to report back on her next bone density test to see just how much of a difference this routine is making!
