The Lies Women Are Told: Chloe and Emma discuss Collagen, ‘Menopause Supplements’ and Anti-Inflammatory Diets

Welcome back to the Bodcast! This week, I am so excited to welcome my very first guest of 2026, the brilliant Emma Storey-Gordon. We are tackling a massive topic that has been driving us both crazy: the lies, myths, and marketing BS women are constantly fed in the wellness space. In this episode, Emma and I cover: The Lies Women Are Told: We discuss how the health and fitness industry specifically targets women with predatory marketing, fear-mongering, and "quick fix" lies. The Truth About Collagen: We break down the actual science behind collagen supplements and discuss whether they really do anything for your skin, hair, and joints, or if you're just paying for overpriced protein. Menopause Supplements Exposed: We dive deep into the booming, unregulated market of "menopause supplements" to separate the genuinely helpful interventions from the absolute nonsense designed to profit off women's hormonal changes. Anti-Inflammatory Diets: What does "anti-inflammatory" even mean? We look at the buzzwords surrounding these trendy diets, what the clinical evidence actually says, and why you really don't need to fear perfectly normal, healthy foods.
