How to Slow Down Your Body's Aging: Dr. Nichola Conlon on NAD, Hormones & Cellular Longevity

from Permission With Shadia Akle · host Shadia Akle

By the time you're 40, your body has already lost a significant amount of the one molecule responsible for keeping your cells alive, energized, and repairing themselves. It's called NAD. Without it, you'd die in 30 seconds. And almost no one is talking about why it disappears, or what actually works to bring it back.I sat down with Dr. Nichola Conlon — molecular biologist, longevity scientist, and founder of Nuchido — and she didn't hold back. She walked me through what's really happening inside our cells as we age, why the decline hits women especially hard during perimenopause and menopause, and why some of the most popular anti-aging treatments on the market right now — including NAD IVs — could be triggering an inflammatory response instead of helping you.She also told me what she thinks actually works. And honestly, it's not what I expected to hear from someone with her background.We talk about why your skin is aging from the inside out and what that really means, the foundational habits she puts above every supplement and treatment, and the 12 hallmarks of aging that scientists now believe are driving chronic disease.And then something shifted in this conversation. A woman who's spent her career in drug development and cell biology tells me she's gone back to university, not for more science, but to study consciousness, metaphysics, and what psychedelics are revealing about the human mind. She talks about 37 trillion cells working together inside your body, why your gut feelings might be more intelligent than you give them credit for, and what happens when a scientist reaches the edge of what science can explain.This one stayed with me long after we stopped recording.CONNECT WITH DR.
