A short YouTube conversation emphasizing that sufficient sleep (around seven to eight hours) is essential and non-negotiable for bodily healing and recovery. The speakers also share an anecdote endorsing high-dose collagen (40 g/day) as a transformative aid for recovery and injury prevention, citing Mark Sisson as the source of the recommendation.
Most people think sleep is just something you have to do, but in fact it's something that is non negotiable. And we're so under slept that when you're healing or even day to day life, if you are not sleeping enough, and let's say seven and a half hours is, you know, probably the average, if you're not sleeping enough, then your body's not going to heal enough. And it's the best time you can have for your body to heal is while you sleep. And if you're grounded with the free electrons and you're rested and you're sleeping well and it's like a clean environment with clean air, you're going to heal significantly quicker.
The person who first turned turned me on to high dose collagen. He said, Ben, this one modification to my diet that I've made has absolutely transformed my recovery, my propensity to injury. He was playing a lot of Frisbee golf, he's a very active person. And I said, what is it? And he said, I've switched to 40 grams of collagen a day, every day, day in, day out. The biggest game changer for me for years. And you know who that was? Godfather of the health industry, Mark Sisson.
