NAD has been a buzzword for a while now. Scientists have shared many do's and don'ts around NAD, and at some point, it becomes difficult to know what to follow.

In this episode, Juliet Hahn and Dr. Nichola Conlon demystify the myths around NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and share valuable insights on the science of longevity. They unpack what NAD really is, why it matters for energy and cellular repair, and address the buzz (and controversy) around NAD drips and supplements.

Dr. Nichola also breaks down the 12 hallmarks of aging, explaining how the aging process starts deep within our cells long before we see the effects on the surface. From DNA damage and inflammation to the role of lifestyle in healthy aging, this episode is packed with actionable tips to help us age well.

Day in and day out, countless women and families struggle with infertility. For some, the dream of conceiving feels painfully out of reach, leading them to the brink of giving up hope. For others, the deep desire to hold a child of their own fuels their determination, pushing them to explore every possible path to parenthood.

In today's episode, Juliet sits down with Dr. Eve Feinberg for an in-depth conversation on women's fertility. Together, they unpack the evolving landscape of reproductive health, debunk common myths about age, lifestyle habits, and fertility trends, and explore the latest advances in science. From egg freezing to genetic testing, Dr. Feinberg sheds light on how modern medicine and even everyday choices like supplements or wellness routines can influence fertility outcomes. She also introduces us to a fascinating medical term, Mittelschmerz, which quickly becomes Juliet's favorite word.

Dr. Eve Feinberg is a leading figure in reproductive medicine and a key editorial voice at the renowned Fertility and Sterility journal. With a long-standing commitment to advancing the field, Dr. Feinberg began her journey as an associate editor and has since risen to her current role as editorial editor. She is also co-host of the Fertility and Sterility On Air podcast, where she and fellow senior editors, including Editor-in-Chief Dr. Kurt Barnhart, discuss and review the most impactful research published in the journal.
