Individuals who consume animal foods nose-to-tail and supplement with collagen are likely to have a health advantage over those who only eat muscle meats.

“and it's been my thesis is that up until 30 years ago we had all of the maybe even twenty years ago we had all of the collagen in our diet that we needed we ate nose-to-tail for millions of years even in the you know when after cooking and fire and cooking and everything we made broths and we but we still ate you know we didn't want to waste any part of the animal it it wasn't until the 60s and 70s when we could go to the butcher and only get the choice cut of meat not get the tail or the nose or the brain or the tripe or whatever and so people sort of gravitated toward that but even in those days they ate jello for dessert or your mother probably took knocks gelatin in a in a solution for her skin hair and nails right so we still had this raw material that we needed to repair one of the more essential components the body skin hair nails Tenon's ligaments connective tissue fashio cartilage all this stuff that I own and glutathione and by the way this the lining of the gut and so one of the things missing for like even if you've gone paleo or primal and you've gotten rid of grains and you've gotten rid of sugars you've gotten rid of industrial seed oils if you're not consuming the raw materials your gut needs to repair itself the collagen peptides that are only available it's really it's like like for like you eat collagen to make collagen it's it's almost sounds too simple but that's what's been missing from a lot of people's diet”

“We don't eat a lot of the connective tissue of animals anymore. They're chewy bits. Those are the parts that really have to chew, like the collaginous joints and stuff of an animal or the tendons. That stuff gets thrown out. So, we're kind of deficient in collagen as humans today, which is why I think it's important to supplement with collagen, to make your own bone broth.”
