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.

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.

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.

Dr. Randall Craft is a Harvard-trained plastic surgeon, founder of CraftMD, and social media educator in the aesthetics space. He grew up in a humble Appalachian community where college wasn't even on the radar. Unlike many parents, his parents often encouraged him to tone down his ambition. While Dr. Craft never faced pressure to live up to expectations, his curiosity became his greatest driving force.

That curiosity took him to world-class institutions like Georgetown, Oxford, and Harvard. In this episode, he opens up about navigating culture shock, embracing grit, and growing up as a gay man in the 90s. Juliet and Dr. Craft explore the power of internal motivation, the importance of letting kids develop self-awareness, and how life's messy challenges can lead to unexpected success.

They also dive into Dr. Craft's artistic side, how creativity influences his surgical practice, and the delicate balance between parenthood and professional aspirations. Juliet shares her own journey of becoming Chief Communications Officer at FetTech.
