How To Die Young As Late As Possible: Sean Lake on New Collagen Science for Longevity + Peak Parenting
Wellness + Wisdom Podcast
The Integrity of Wellness: Supplements and Life's Adventures
This chapter dives into the importance of supplement authenticity and the role of third-party testing for consumer trust. It emphasizes maintaining an active lifestyle for longevity, reflecting on personal experiences and the challenges of aging while staying adventurous. The discussion further explores collagen's benefits for recovery and overall health, backed by scientific studies, highlighting the gradual yet significant impact of proper supplementation.
Can collagen help you ‘die young as late as possible’ and keep your body in peak condition?
Sean Lake, Founder of BUBS Naturals, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 740, to share how collagen supplementation transformed his own healing process, allowing him to maintain a life of adventure in his 50s, why only a fraction of supplement companies genuinely care about helping you heal, and how collagen helps with connective tissue repair and alleviating joint pain.
"After you're in your early mid-20s, you lose 1 to 2% of the collagen in your body every year. So when you turn 55, you're at half. All of your connective tissue support is fed by the exogenous intake of collagen peptides, and it fuels that collagen production inside the human body." - Sean Lake
20% Off BUBS Naturals' Collagen PeptidesUsing BUBS' Collagen supports your body and enhances overall wellness from the inside out.
BUBS Collagen Peptides start out as grass-fed bovine collagen and are then turned into collagen peptides through a controlled enzymatic hydrolysis process. This process transforms the collagen into much smaller and easily digestible peptides that are highly bioavailable.
Collagen peptides are typically recommended for those looking to support skin health, improve joint function, boost bone density, and enhance hair and nail growth.

Power Quotes From The Show Exogenous Collagen Peptides"If you exogenously take collagen peptides, it will have your body endogenously producing collagen peptides. And that collagen protein in your body is going to help with your hair, skin and nails. But more importantly, it will improve your muscle recovery, joint health, and intestinal health." - Sean Lake
Show Your Children The Right Path"I'm hell bent on taking care of myself physically, mentally, spiritually, as much as humanly possible, learning as much as I can, because I want to be as present as possible so that I can give all that up to be there for my children. So that it's not about me, it's about them. What am I bringing to the table to help shape them, to help steer them, to help show them the path? They have to walk it, but I want to show them the right path." - Sean Lake
Can You Get Enough Collagen From Your Diet?"Ground beef and bone broth are an amazing way to get gelatin collagen in the body. But what you don't realize is how much you'd have to eat. For most bodies, 20 grams is the baseline. But to get 20 grams from nature, you'd have to be eating a lot of ground beef or bone broth. And our lifestyles don't really allow us to do that and then there's also a digestive cost." - Sean Lake

Sean Lake is an entrepreneur, former professional snowboarder, and the co-founder of BUBS Naturals, a wellness brand best known for its grass-fed collagen protein and MCT oil powders.
In 2018, he launched BUBS Naturals, naming the company after his best friend and adventure partner, Navy SEAL Glen “Bub” Doherty, who was killed in the 2012 Benghazi attack.
BUBS commits 10% of every sale to veteran-focused charities, most notably the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation and the Navy SEAL Foundation, so the business is, in Lake’s words, “a perpetual fundraiser disguised as a supplement company.”
