In the 1960s, scientists discovered something remarkable in your cells: a molecule that seemed to be present everywhere, involved in seemingly everything. They called it NAD+, and at the time, they understood it primarily as a helper in metabolism. It took another fifty years for researchers to realize they’d actually discovered one of biology’s…

Here’s an uncomfortable thought: you might be aging faster than your parents did at the same age. Not because genetics suddenly changed, but because modern life has conspired to accelerate cellular aging in ways that previous generations didn’t face. The constant stress, the sleep deprivation, the processed foods, the sedentary lifestyle, the environmental toxins—all…

Every cell in your body runs on tiny batteries called mitochondria. These microscopic powerhouses convert the food you eat into usable energy—that ATP molecule that powers literally everything from your heartbeat to your thoughts. But here’s the catch: these batteries need a specific molecule to function efficiently. It’s called NAD+, and starting in your…

If you could zoom in on your body at a microscopic level, you’d see something that looks remarkably like construction scaffolding. Long, rope-like fibers of collagen create an intricate framework, providing structure and strength to nearly every tissue in your body. This scaffold is what keeps your skin from sagging, your bones from becoming…

Look at the back of your hand. Now imagine that same hand twenty years ago. The difference you’re seeing—or will see—isn’t just about sun exposure or moisturizer. It’s about something happening deep beneath the surface: your body’s slowing production of collagen, the protein that literally holds you together. Starting around age 25, your collagen…
