At 37, skin health expert Natural Nadine has never had Botox, fillers, or cosmetic surgery—but she says she’s “age-reversed naturally.” In a recent TikTok, Nadine shared her personal journey and the foods and supplements that transformed her skin and overall health.

Why Collagen from Animals Isn’t the Answer

Nadine explains that collagen powders—from marine or animal sources—aren’t absorbed directly by the body. “Collagen is created from within your body. It cannot be transferred from an innocent animal’s collagen to you,” she says. Instead, some of these products often just pass through the digestive system.

Celery Juice: Nature’s Botox

One of Nadine’s top recommendations is celery juice, which she has been drinking daily since 2017. She credits it with clearing brain fog, reducing eczema and acne, eliminating bloating, and giving her skin a plump, youthful look. “Celery juice is a natural Botox,” she says, noting that it helps detox the liver and remove pathogens that degrade collagen.

Fruits and Beta-Carotene

Hydration at a cellular level is key for youthful skin, Nadine explains. She recommends eating fruits rich in beta-carotene, including:

    PapayasMangoesRaspberriesWatermelon and other melonsLeafy greens like spinachSweet potatoes

These foods hydrate the skin, support repair, and help maintain a healthy glow.

Silica-Rich Veggies and Herbs

To naturally boost collagen production, Nadine suggests incorporating veggies and herbs high in silica:

    AsparagusArtichokesKale stemsHerbs like nettle and horsetail

“Silica helps build collagen too,” she notes, adding that these plants strengthen skin from within.

Antioxidants and Key Nutrients

Finally, Nadine emphasizes the importance of antioxidants and essential nutrients to support skin and overall health:

    Organic Vitamin B12 (she recommends Vimergy)Zinc and magnesiumHerbal supplements like lemon balm and cat’s claw

“These help remove toxins and support your immune system,” she explains.

Conclusion

Nadine’s approach proves that aging gracefully doesn’t require invasive procedures. By focusing on detoxification, cellular hydration, and nutrient-rich foods and supplements, you can naturally build collagen, maintain elastin levels, and achieve glowing, youthful skin. “It’s all about supporting your body from the inside out,” she says.
