Conversations Unplugged
with Dr. Nichola Conlon
Join STEMREGEN Founder and Chief Science Officer, Christian Drapeau, in an enlightening conversation with Dr. Nichola Conlon, a UK-based expert on cellular health and longevity. In this episode of "Conversations Unplugged," they discuss the critical role of NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) in energy production, DNA repair, and how boosting NAD can combat the effects of aging
Dr. Nichola Conlon
In this episode, Christian Drapeau interviews Dr. Nichola Conlon, whose research focuses on NAD, a molecule essential for cellular energy production and repair processes. Dr. Conlon explains that NAD levels decline with age, leading to decreased energy, increased DNA damage, and overall cellular dysfunction. This decline is a key factor in aging and age-related diseases.
The conversation delves into the limitations of traditional NAD supplements, including IV NAD, and explores how Dr. Conlon’s approach aims to restore the body’s ability to produce its own NAD by activating critical enzymes and addressing inflammation. She emphasizes the importance of a whole-systems approach to NAD restoration, utilizing natural ingredients like nicotinamide, quercetin, and alpha-lipoic acid to boost NAD levels while reducing the inflammatory enzyme CD38.
Dr. Conlon shares insights from clinical trials showing that boosting NAD levels not only increases energy and cognitive function but also helps reverse biological age. The discussion highlights the potential for combining NAD restoration with stem cell therapies to maximize health benefits, offering a cutting-edge approach to longevity.
This episode provides a deep dive into the science behind NAD, offering listeners practical insights into how to enhance cellular function and slow the aging process through innovative supplementation.
