Full Show Notes:https://bengreenfieldlife.com/nadplus 

In this fascinating episode, Dr. Nichola Conlon, molecular biologist and founder of Nuchido, breaks down what NAD actually is, what it does inside your cells, and why most popular strategies for boosting it, including NAD IVs, patches, and high-dose NR or NMN, may be fundamentally flawed based on molecular biology. 

You’ll discover why NAD declines by half every 20 years, why the NAMPT enzyme and not a shortage of raw material is the real bottleneck, and why flooding the body with precursors without fixing the salvage pathway can actually strain your methylation pathways rather than raise NAD. 

You’ll also explore how inflammation through the cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) enzyme silently drains NAD faster than almost anything else, what a gold standard double-blind placebo-controlled crossover clinical trial on Nuchido TIME+ actually showed, and why NAD sits at the intersection of energy production, cellular repair, sleep, skin health, and biological aging. 

Dr. Nichola Conlon (BSc, MRes, PhD) specializes in cellular aging. After a career in drug development, Dr. Nichola founded Nuchido, driven by her belief that cutting-edge science should not lie hidden. At Nuchido, Dr. Nichola’s work focuses on delivering disruptive innovation in the field of anti-aging, rejuvenation, and healthspan. It has led to the development of Nuchido TIME+, a dietary supplement clinically proven to boost NAD+ and reverse biological age. Unlike standard precursors such as NMN or NR, Nuchido TIME+ uses a systems-based approach to target the root causes of NAD+ decline.

Could NAD IVs Be Bad For You (& How To Boost NAD Naturally), With Dr. Nichola Conlon

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/trupodcast

In this episode with repeat guest Dr. Matt Dawson, you’ll discover how epigenetic testing analyzes DNA methylation to reveal how fast you’re biologically aging, what’s driving your health, and your risk for disease. You’ll explore how these signals can detect chronic disease risk earlier than traditional labs, and how TruDiagnostic built the TruHealth Test by analyzing ~1,000 biomarkers to pinpoint the most meaningful health indicators. We also break down the TruAge Test, covering biological age, pace of aging, and organ-specific aging, plus insights from my own results. We discuss how AI and large language models (LLMs) identify which interventions actually improve specific biomarkers, and what truly moves the needle for longevity, from caloric restriction and GLP-1 drugs to the often-overlooked impact of relationships, stress, and recovery.

Dr. Matt Dawson is a physician-entrepreneur focused on genomics and epigenetics. He has founded six companies, authored two medical textbooks, contributed to over two dozen scientific publications, and lectured in more than 20 countries. As founder of Wild Health, he built a nationwide genomics-based precision medicine practice later acquired by a publicly traded tech company. He now serves as CEO of TruDiagnostic, an epigenetic longevity laboratory leveraging AI and biomarkers to transform chronic disease diagnosis.

ONE Tiny Blood Spot = HUNDREDS (!) Of Biomarkers, Age & Disease Prediction With Dr. Matt Dawson

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/499

In this fascinating solosode, you'll discover what actually works when it comes to hair restoration, from cutting-edge procedures to the often overlooked factors that determine long-term success. I’ll explain why certain modern transplant techniques are considered the gold standard, and more importantly, what you need to do after the procedure to protect your investment and prevent further loss.

You’ll also explore the rapidly evolving world of peptides, regenerative treatments, and at-home tools that are changing the hair growth game. From under-the-radar compounds and scalp therapies to simple, accessible options you can start using right away, you’ll learn what is truly effective, what may not deliver meaningful results, and what is actually worth considering for your own routine.

Finally, I’ll shift the focus to your brain health and cognitive performance, covering both foundational habits and lesser-known compounds that can help you stay sharp as you age. You’ll gain insights on what truly moves the needle for memory, focus, and long-term brain resilience, along with a few surprising insights about how your mindset and anxiety around aging may be influencing your biology more than you think.
